The Flshklll IN. " Standard
prints communication which reads:
IA very laughable incident took
place at Duchess Junction, on
Wednesday morning. After the
arrival of the 7:l5 A. M. train from
New York, passengers destined for
the Duchess and Columbia Railroad
had all got comfortably seated in the
cars of that road, when, as usual, the
train started according to schedule
time. Dave Van Buskirx, the en-
gineer, supposing all was right drove
ahead. George Kisselbrack, the con-
ductor, after saying 'All right to the
boys on the train, had his attention
taken up by an ice-boat that was try
ing to skim over the hard snow on
the hay opposite the Junction, but
was having laborious time, its run
ners cutting through the crust; and
here is where Georges absent-mind-
edness came in play to his sorrow.
After satisfying himself that the ice
boat was having hard time of it, he
turned to step on his train, and, be-
hold it had run away and left him,
it being fully sixty rods away. He
started on run in the wake of the
train, and the chances were that he
would overtake it, the grade being
very heavy at that place, but, com
ing to the long trestle above the
Junction, Georges wind failed him.
He yelled and screamed and swung
his handkerchief, but ali to no pur-
pose, for on went the train. MIR.
Kisselbrack retraced his steps, and
arriving at the telegraph office com
pletely out of breath. with the most
woe-begone counlenance imaginable,
cried, Stop my trainn which the op-
orator did at Matteawan, the next
station north, and had it come back
to Duchess Junction after its lost
conductor, who positively AYERS now
that if it were not for helping ladies
OH and off his train he would strap
himself fast to the platform in a way
that he could not get left any more.
This is the same conductor that got
lett year or two ago at Millerton,
eight hours behind his train"

The Presidential Election.


From the Lancaster (Penn. Examiner.
never until this fall realized the
debt we owe the press, and l never
appreciated the advantages Of living
in q country that elects it's own rul-
ers. My husband is Democrat, and
my father, who boards with us, is Il
Republican. On the 9TH OF Novem-
Der l took down my last winters

tears. That cloak cost $25, but it
was short, and of course | couldn't
wear it this season. 1t didn't seem

not say a word about it. l might be
a dowdy, but would go calmly for
ward-up the church aisle-support-
ed by the smiles of an approving
conscience.
When William came home that
night, he said New York had gone
for Tilden. and there was a glow up
on his brow, and light within his
eye | hadn't seen tor years. The bis
cults were as light as feather, and
said 1: "William, what do you think
had better do about a cloak this
winter. You know they don't wear
short cloaks. suppose you don't
feel as if you could afford new
one?"
"See about it," SAID William, scr:,-

that being genuine elegant Demo-

The next morning, when l passed
through the sitting room, William
sat shivering over q closed register
in his stocking feet, his hair uncomb-
ed, but he cried out from the top Of
his paper: democratic victories
everywhere! The country gone Ell

ment and rejoicing!" We had waf-
Aes and maple molasscs for break
fast, and | made the coffee myself.
William had made one earnest dab
at his head with the hair brush, but
had evidently missed. Father called
for toast, and said he had neuralgia
pains streaking all down the left side
of his face. William read aloud
soothing morsels from the Democrat
ic paper, such as "Indiana gives Til.
den 10000 majority"
"What do you think this morning
about my having a new cloak, Will
liam?"
"Of course you can have q new
cloak if you need one. 'Full returns
