The Cumberland (Md.) Civilian has
this account Of a singular collision
which happened on Knox street, in that
city. Monday noon Some ten OF
twelve geese, toddling along the railroad
at the foot Of hat street, thought they
saw a pond on Schriver's Hill, and,
yielding to a love for such places, took
to their wings and made for the imagi.
nary pond. But the goose isn't much
on the uphill fly, and they whizzed
along, gradually nearing terra 6rma,
until suddenly a young man who was
making for Columbia street, and think
ing of nothing but his dinner, picked
himself up from mother earth, and
wanted to know who had hit him with
that sand-bag.' oh, that was nobody
replied another man; it was a GO
But he didn't finish the sentence, as an
other goose struck him plump in the
rear aud brought him violently into that
position usually assumed by novices just
before attempting to turn a back hand
spring. The geese were so clumsy that
they could not turn aside"
