How to Carry an Ok to Market.

This from correspondent at Riviere du
Loup, Canada:
When the Grand Trunk Railway of Can
ada was completed, in 1860, many Of the
farmers had never heard of, much less
seen, q railway, but it soon got reported
around that passengers could travel by it,
and even cattle. A backwoodsman who
was indebted to country merchant was
pushed" by the latter for payment of the
amount due. and the only means OF liqul-
dating the debt was by taking fat OK to
the Quebec market. For this purpose he
tied his OK to the back of his cart, and
drove to the railway station, distance OF
nine miles. On surveying the train and
seeing an iron railing around the platform
of the hind car, he concluded that that
was the place to tie his OK, which he ac-
cordingly did, taking place in second
class car himself forward. Presently the
train began to move off slowly. The
speed increased; quicker and quicker 1t
went. The poor man got very tidgety.
the speed still increasing, until large drops
of sweat became visible on his brow. by
this time the conductor had reached his
car to collect the tickets. Nearly out OF
breath. the man ran to him, exclaiming,
''My dear conductor my OK will never
be able to keep up to this pace; il is not
possible"
Your OK Keep up to this pace
What do you mean ? l don't understand
you. Have you oxen on board? ~
Not on board, of course. tied him
to the railing of the hind car"
You tied him to the railing OF the hind
car? Who told you to do so p
mo one but that is the way We always
do in the country"
OF course the conductor could not stop
his train before reaching the next station.
when, needless to say. on looking for the
OK, they found attached to the rope pair
OF horns. with small portion of the neck.
Mr.. Bergh could scarcely call this cru
city to animals, as it was not intended.
The humane conductor made collec-
ton among the passengers on the spot
realizing larger amount than the OK
would have brought at market, which he
