me-. Harps We have been visited
by two Civil Engineers. each having an
eye upon the South Branch Railroad
one OF them went mp the road and the
other remained here few honrs taking
sights. We were, OF course. Ia a stew
| las It were) to find ont their business
and delicatsly preached the subject Of
railroads In general. and the s. Branch
in particular. Those Civil Engineers
were remarkably ciuH. but kept as mum
as salt water Oyster. and all our engi.
neering resulted in not even obtaining q
point. They we're sent here by the Is.
& q. Company. aud we're probably
instructed TO be cautious. Conjectures
will now be the order Of the day. There
is certainly something in the wind.
| A modern tramp made his appearance
here to-day. and opened up business by
n TRADE OF abuse upon all railroads; he
began his speech at 5 80 p. m, with
Grim, Nields and viii. Parker for an
audience, N.elds retired IN ave minutes,
Grim in about 20. aud Parker a, AS
p. m, precisely, having been entertained
two honfs and Is minutcs--when he
came forth he was as pale as q ghost
and could have stood it only few min.
utes longer. and no s;imulants at hand
The tramp had voice like the sound Of
= cracked pie plate, and . tongue as
flexible as an old Flax mill. His mind
was imaginative in the extreme. and as
changeable as n weather vane. He~was
poor but honest and has gone 10 the
mkt town beyant fur TO look for wur.
ruk." so he says; but nearly every
tramp who has passed here within the
past six months has inquired about that
mkt" town. the size of it. &c. and they
each also carelessly inquired if the En-.
gines did not take water there probably
there is no other class Of travellers so
we'll verse,l inreg,rd to the movements of
freight trains AZ the modern tramp. Ii
our tramp should enter Romney you will
know him by his Introductory speech.
which isprobahly original with himself.
Referring to his last stopping place he
names some prominent citizen and says
'hs is the most experimenting piece Of
human furniture ever did see.''
Ii he should refer to us in that man.
ner get Will Parker to make him prove
it. TRAP.
