Saving q Train.

The Troy Times says landslide oc-
Cured in a curve on the Troy and
Greenbush Railroad. A locomotive
was coming up to be attached to the
first local train down. when it was
caught by the landslide, forced from
the track, and partly turned so that its
headlight was pointed west. The slide
occurred just at the moment the New
York and Boston express was leaving
the Troy depot. The engineer of No.
80 knew that the down train could not
pass the distractions. He told his
fireman, AL. Bascom, to take q red
lantern, go up the track and intercept
the train. Bascom started on his mis-.
sion in the darkness he stumbled and
fell on the track the light was eI-
tinguished. ..
The time was too short to allow him
to return and procure another lantern ;
it was impossible in the strong wind to
light match. Covered with mud, but
losing scarcely half minute, he
pushed on the headlight of the ap-
preaching train came in sight; he
knew his voice of warning, be it ever
so loud, could not be heard above the
roar OF the train. He had but few
seconds in which to determine upon his
course. What did he do? Something
very few would have thought of doing.
Taking aim as best he could he raised
his lantern and hurled it at the ap.
preaching locomotive, and then awaited
the result. He could not see where his
missile landed !; the intervening seconds
seemed ten minutes. By what we must
regard as a mysterious and benefcent
interposition of Providence, it entered
the cab window, breaking the wood
work and coming within an inch of
striking the fireman inside fairly in the
face if it had hit him he would have
been seriously injured. When the
shattering and shattered lantern fell at
the engineers feet, he knew that some
thing had gone wrong and whistled
L" down brakes !" the train slackened
speed, and at length came to a full
stop within q hundred feet of the
wrecked locomotive. saved from destruc.
tion by the presence OF mind OF tle
msn who had thrown the lantern.
At the point where the way was OBJ
structed the track is built on an en-
bankment close by the river, and had a
collision occurred between the disabled
locomotive and the moving train, the
latter would have been thrown from thk
track into the river, and the horrors
and loss Of life, the woundings anG
maimings of New Hamburger woult
have been repeated. All honor to Al
Bascom.

A New Treatment for Consumption.

DR.. William Koch of Berlin, well
known to specialists from his investiga-
tions in the domain of modern surgery,
and from his treatise on gunshot frac-
lures, has discovered new method Of
treatment for assumption. 1t consists
in healing up tile affected portions of
the lungs by injections of iodine, so as
TO check the process of fostering, which
is the origin of the disease. The treat
ment has been tested in the great hos
pitfalls of Berlin within a short time,
among others at the Royal Charity, in
the presence OF the most eminent sur
geons. All the reports of the cases in
which this treatment has been ad-
ministered are favorable, and hold out
O promise of complete cure. For
many years DR.. Koch has been trying
the experiment with animals, having
tested It with more than three hundred,
at vast outlay Of time and money.

cuIes of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock jaw,
palsy, sprains, swellings, cake-breasts,
scalds, burns, salt rheum, ear ache, etc. up-
on the human frame, and of strains, SPAWN

have all other pretended remedies since the
all-healing pain-reliever. Cripples throw
away their crutches, the lame walk, poison-
GUS bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded are healed without a scar. It is
no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling as no article ever
before sold, and it sells because 1t does just
what it pretends to do. Those whonow suf-
fer from rheumatisrns pain or swelling de.

Liniment. More than 1000 certificates of
remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic rheumatism, govt, running tumors,
ETC., have been received. We will send a
circular containing certificates, the recipe,

All Ah0llt n Hat.

During the canvass for the presi.
dency of James Buchanan, an old song
was perpetrated on an ancient hat
that panned out thusly:
"When this old hat was new, my boys,
Buchanan was Fed
An enemy to every man,
That labored for his Bread etc.
We had the pleasure Of seeing, feel
ing. handling, and putting on that
same old hat that possibly inspired
the poet to make the above strain
on his poetic bump-leastways, the
hat looks as though it was manufac-
tured in the days when that public
functionary, j. B., declared if he had
a drop of Democratic blood in his
veins he would let it out!'' That
the way it looked to us; though a
punning friend, who was examining it
at the same time with ourself, and
learning that it was manufactured by
David Beard, at Boards Hattershop,
Greensborough, Guilford County,
North Carolina, remarked that it
was FUR-fetched, and looked and
Eel like it was most worn out and
wanted NAP. The HAT in question,
that has thus been quested, belonged
to Nathan Hunt, celebrated minister
of the Society Of Friends, now deceas-
| ed, who resided at Greensborough,
| North Carolina, and was made FOR him
about SIXTY years ago, by a Halter
whose fame for making ever lasting
hats extends throughout the habitablc
globe, wherever North Carolinian' $
tongue hath wagged or North Caro-
linian's foot hath trod, and who wore
it for FIFTEEN YEARS prior to his
death.
| The circumstance of resurrectins
this old hat, reminds us that Nathan
Hunt is the author of celebrated
letter we published many years ago
in pamphlet form, for Mark Patty, OF
the doctrine OF the Resurrection O.
the Body, which caused considerable
discussion at that time.
This aged hat was shown us by oul
old friend Cornelius Ratliff, Of the
vicinity of our city, and was exhibited
at the old settlers last meeting a
Centreyille, and was worn on that oc
casion by David Hunt, grandson o
! Nathan Hunt, who has the memorable
tile now in his possession.

City Buildings and s'Warner Build
Ing"
Many of our citizens are exercised
about the location of City Buildings,
provided the Council conclude on
purchasing ground whereon to erect
them-three distinct propositions be-
ing already made, to wit: One on the
north least corner of Main and Sixth,
belonging to Chas. Fl. Price, which he
offers for 81 900, the other nearly OPP
posite belonging to S. L. Hittle. which
he offers for $4,000, and the lot on
which the Warner Building now
stands. Some of those who are urging
the city to tear down the present War
ner Building-the Engine House, and
Ritter & Vickoy's stone cutting shop,
after purchasing their lease, and build
thereon suitable public buildings, will
+. find legal bubble, to say the least.
in the following extract from DIR. War
ner's will-the only matter willed, it
will be seen, is the ''brick house, =" now
i known as the Warner Building:

my brick house shall be finished and

One legged Pants and Cavalry Boots

One legged Pants and Cavalry Boots.
A one legged soldier walking up
the Bowery, New York, the other
day, was accosted by a clothing
merchant with the usual Sell you
something, to day. Entering the
store the veteran was invited to
inspect the large stock, but having
looked through the array of coats
| vests and trousers, he turned to 60,
saying that he saw nothing there
that would suit him.
"Vell, vat you vants?'
Il want pair of one legged
pantaloons."
.sVos dat all? Yacob, bring me
one of dem one legged gray pants
| on dot pile in the corner
In few minutes Jacob returned
| and reported that the last pair had
been sold.
Meanwhile the partner next door
who had been listening through the
thin partition had mapped out a
plan of campaign against the one
legged cripple. ''Yohn," he whis
pered to an attendant, ''cut me off
de leg of one of dem gray pants.
Send him up quick
By the time this had been done
the soldier hobbled out of the first
store only to be inveigled into the
second. Again he went through
the inspection of odds and ends,
and again demanded one legged
trousers, intimating that he didn't
believe the trade had them.
''Not hat one legged pants.
Fadder Moses, vat you take me
for? You, bring me one of dem
one legged gray pants in dat pile
in de back of the sthore'
The newly altered trousers were
produced, and the waggish soldier
gave himself up as lost. But as he
spread them before HIM he became
conscious. as did the dealer, Of
something wrong
"Mein Colt! Fadder Abraham
John! you hat ruin me! You hat
, cut off de wrong Leg
Another of the Chatham stree
dealers had what he called arm,
brogans and cavalry boots. Al
ex soldier purchased pair of tn
latter one rainy day, but returned
to the store within few minutes
complaining that the soles were o
pasteboard and had already soaked
to a pulp.
"Vot you vasdone NIT dem bootse
