DIED At HIS POST.

A story is told of an engineer on the
Union Pacific railroad who ran a race
with at the rate of forty miles an hour.
and vol BY five seconds. He was
driving the passenger train west, and
was taken suddenly and seriously i'll.
He seemed to be aware that death was
near, yet the train must reach Cheyenne
before he could be relieved. That was
the end of his route. He increased the
speed OF the engine and ran for life.
Forty miles IN hour saved his distance.
He reached Cheyenne ahead Of time,
and when the engineer who was to re-
lieve him stepped aboard the engine he
family gasped "Take the engine !;
I'm ready to die now" In five seconds
he was a corpse. If death had stepped
aboard before the other engineer, what
would have been the consequence to the
passengers? Butthey did not see the grim
specter running the engiEe, like .
phantom train. 1t was a very close
shave, and is a frightful instance of q
remaining at the post of duty just
long enough.

The condition Of the public schools lie report
ed to have much improved under county su-
pervision.
Indiana, without giving full statistics for
1873, claims a net increase Of school revenue
amounting to $685. S1 over 1872, with 465
new school houses. built at q cost Of :ST2, 300.
The permanent school fund has been aug
mented and more than the usual amount rsised

her school revenue reaching 81. 55l. 799. or
about S23. 20 for each enrolled child. Clear
evidence Of popular favor toward her public

A NEW BEDFORD clergyman amazed
his congregation last Sunday by sud-
denly leaving his pulpit, trotting down
the aisle, and striding of toward home.
The choir sang, and then there was an
awkward, idgetty waiting. Soon the
pastor shot into the church again, sop
ping Precipitation from his forehead
with his handkerchief, and read his
sermon without explanation.

said that there were two bills on the
docket of the house committee. The
second Is that of Representative Hern-
don, which provides that the state of
Texas shall constitute judicial circuit
md be divided into three judicial dis
tricts, In the eastern district, Mr..
Herndon would include the counties of
Arkansas, Austin, Braaoria, Cameron,

ferson, Lavaccl, Liberty, Matagorda,

Thecourts in the eastern district, under
this bill, would be held at the same

tern district courts will beheld at Aus

lfall, or even large majority of the
Texas delegation, could agree to sup
port either one Of these bills, have
no doubt that it could be passed, and
this remark is especially true of the
Flanagan bill, because it creates no
new offices, which congress in its pres
ent temper might hesitate to do.
