The First American Locomotive.

The first locomotive that everifds seIv-
ice in the United States is now lying
outside of foundry at Carbondale, ELu-
zerne County. 1t ought to be preserved
somewhere as an interesting relic OF the
early days of railroading. The follow
ing description of its trial, taken from
DIR. HOLSTERS history of the Lackawanna
Valley, will be read with interest:
THE first locomotive engine introduced
and worked in America was run upon the
Delaware & Hudson Railroad, in the year
1928, and Honesdale (named from the late
Philip Hone) offered its friendly glen for
the purpose of conducting the experiment.
This locomotive, called the Stourbridge
Lion, was built in England, of the best
workmanship and material, and most ap-
proved pattern of that date. The road
passed out of Honesdale by sharp
northwesterly curve, with a moderate
grade, and was carried over the Lacka-
waxen by a long hemlock trestling, con-
sidered too frail by many to support the
great weight of the mysterious-l looking
engine, all ready for the hazardous
journey.
GAS the crowd gathered from far and
near, expecting that bridge, locomotive
and all would plunge into the stream the
moment passage was attempted, no one
dared to run the locomotive across the
chasm but Major Horatio Allen, who,
amid exultation and praise, passed over
the bridge and portion of the. road in
safety. Fhe engine, however, was aban-
doned, as the slender trestling forming
much of the body of the road, sufficiently
strong for ordinary cars, was found too
feeble for the weight and wear Major
Allen, in the accoun. of his first trip of a
locomotive on this continent, says: AS
l placed my hand on the throttle | was
undecided whether l would move slowly
or with fair degree of speed; but, be-
lieving that the road would prove safe,
and preferring, if we did go down, to go
down handsomely and without any evil
dence of timidity, I started with consid-
cradle velocity, passed the curve over the
creek safely, and was soon out OF hearing
of the vast assemblage. At the end of
two or three miles I reversed the valve
and returned without accident, having
thus made the first railroad trip by loco
motive ever made On the Western Hemi-
sphere. '"-Allent0aon (Pa.) Chronicle.

NESrE AND SOIEH.

The Louisiana Commission sat three hours
with closed doors on the morning of the 9th
and in the afternoon received delegations in the
interests of the two claimants for the Governor
ship. The Commission stated, among other
things, that the moment the members of the
Legislature whose election was undisputed by
either party, should meet together as one body,
it would constitute the State of Louisiana. Self
government and the withdrawal of the army
could, they thought, be secured in day, should
the public opinion of the State compel its Iegis-
lature to meet as one body, instead of two.

An Old Soldiers Fight With Wolf.

Three young girls were minding a
flock of sheep a few weeks ago at Vergt

appeared, and, separating some of the
sheep, drove them before it. The cries
of the girls irritated it, and passing near
one of them, Maria s., it flew at her,
knocked her down, and tore her savage

injured. However, the dogs attacked the
animal and released the girl. The cries
and barking attracted the attention of a
man named Moreau, aged ffty-fve, who
had formerly been a soldier, and who,
with his daug lighter, girl of eighteen, was
engaged in cutting wood. He came out
OF the thicket to see what was the matter,
and found himself face to face with the
wolf, which Immediately sprang at his

the animal around the body, and they both
fell together, rolling over each other.
