A NEW and lucrative business has late
ly sprung up out West. A number of
ingenious and enterprsing men have under
taken to save trains from destruction by
removing obstacles from the tracks near
culverts and draw-bridges.. Signaling the
engineer to stop, they inform him Of the
danger from which he has been saved, and
the result is a handsome collection taken
up among the passengers as a reward for
their benefactors. This is very humane on
the part of the benefactors, and creditable
on the part of the saved. 1t, however. has
come out that the same men that remove
the distractions are the very men that
place them there, which detracts great
deal from the merit Of the affair. ~
