MYsTERY.-We have learned that sometime
IN last March, two young men, who are &C.
quainted with almost every "noOk and corner"
in the vicinity Of Sherman sdale, left one of the
stores OF that place one night, at about ten
O'clock, to return home, and, to avoid the mud
In the road they crossed the fence and then pass
ed on until the third and last fence which con-
nected with this one was reached, when it was
found, after short investigation, as TO their
Whereabouts that they were absolutely lost
and to their establishment discovered that they
were perfectly bewildersd. Finding this the case,
they retraced their steps, and resolved to pass
around the field, in which they now were, until
familiar locality was attiined.
They first went, as was thought, due south,
but soon came to the corner of the field and next
went, as presumed directly west when they were
surprised to find themselves at the fence which
they frst had crossed near the road and instead
Of going sohth as was supposed, they had gone
due north.
After making calculations as to the route they
had taken, they learned that they had deviated
in crossing one field nearly the whole width Of it
from the road, and instead of going north, as
was the intention, they had gone directly south.
There is superstitious belief that persons are
sometimes misled by the ignis fatuus, or by
treading on certain peculiar plant, but as no
JACKIE lantern was seen at that time, and as it
was too early in the season for that kind of a
plant, they do not attribute their bewilderment
to either of those causes.-Bloomfeld( Pa. Times.

IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PHILADELPHIA, WILL
MINGToN AND BALTIMORE R. R.-A correspondent
of the Hartford Democrat writes from Edgewood
as follows:
"About six or eight weeks ago the Company
commenced operations for the purpose OF COM
pleting their double track, which required the
construction of twelve or fifteen miles of en-
tirely new road across the lower part of this
county to close the gap, and thereby give them
two tracks throughout their entire line. This
work has been pushed forward systematically
and vigorously. The stone masons pioneered
the work by reconstructing and frightening
the culverts. They were followed by large
number>of men grading and filling up the in
CAPABILITIES, all of which is completed and about
one-half the crossties in position for receiving
| the rails, which are of steel.
Embraced within this improvement are two
extensive bridges across the Gunpowder and
Bush rivers. The operations at Bush river de-
serve special notice for the skillful manner in
which they have been conducted in erecting
the bridge. This portion of the work is under
| the superintendence Of Mr.. John Holland, a
citizen of Maryland, residing in Cecil county.
The depth of water in this river is much greater
| than the Gunpowder, which necessarily in
| creases the difficulties in the operation OF con-
struction. l have frequently witnessed the
skill he displays in handling, those immense
| sticks of timber, some of which are from sixty
to seventy feet in length by twelve inches
square, and notwithstanding large portion Of
this work comes in contact with and supports
the old track, the arrangements are such thai
not single train has been detained although
they are passing hourly. The manner in which
a portion of the timber is placed on the upper
portion of this bridge will afford admirable &C
commodations for any reasonable number o
the disciples of Isaac Walton, and l have NJ
doubt they will patronize it, as it is favoritt
feeding ground for several species of the scaly
tribe, particularly white perch. The comfort
able position tor fishing on the new bridge pre-
sents quite a contrast to the old one. Thu
occupy on the old bridge was calculated t.
bring out all the crusty and sour traits in
persons nature"

rious injuries. The boys condition is consld-
cred critical by his attending physician.
