Off the Track.

A spike laid on the rail by a six year old child playing along the Shepaug track, half mile below the Morris station, did the business for Monday noon train. The engine left the track, ploughed the ties and dirt for some distance, and then but ted into bank, where it lay careened on one side, with twelve good hours of work to be done before it could be replaced. Seven passengers of us were left to shift for ourselves, in Smoke Hollow, seven miles from anywhere in particular. Two from Romford took the track homeward. The rest of us ambled gracefully over the ties to the next crossing. Then there was general search for teams. MT. Sher- wood succeeded in procuring horse and buggy from MT. Wm. Burgess with which he took up lady and her boy, leaving the forlorn editor hereof. with violon- cello and tolerably heavy carpet bag, to take the next conveyance. After a good deal of delay we finally found MT. Haa- ger who undertook to forward us in good order to Litchfeld. As we drove along the Burgess dam,a young fellow with fish, ing tackle who had come down to the track opposite to take the train, shouted across the pond to inquire how he could get to Litchfeld? We sympathized but held our peace.
 Mir. Hanger is representative 'Dutch- man." Buying twenty acres of bushy side hill. few years ago, he has convert ed it into meadow. plough land, and past ure. He built a new ..barn himself, and his boys made the buggy that took us to Litchfeld. all but the wheels. He has raised family of children, and the hard times effect him as little as any man in the Hollow" We noticed on the table in his sitting room, heap of cards on which his wife and children stick hooks and eyes at odd times. They get $1.25 for sticking fifty-two dozen cards; and six dozen is good days work !
 Mir. s. F. Burgess is putting mp a fine three-story building at the station, for store and residence. Itis already covered and hastening to completion. With good roads to Morris and Bethle- hem, such as are proposed, this Station will become one of considerable impor- tance.
