We're saved from destruction by the pres

man-Mr. w. K. X. Frazer, the telegraph
operator at this station II is the custom
OF the operator, after receiving. no
tce from neighboring stations of the ap-
preach of trains that do not stop here, to
go out and watch the North street cross
ing, so as TO prevent teams from crossing
| when the train is near at hand.
On Tuesday, after receiving notice
from Newark of the coming of the limit
ed express, due here at 1.27 p. m, and al
| so that 1t was three minutes behind time
Mr. Frazer went out to look for its ap-
approach. Just then he saw approach
Ing the crossing, a set of log wheels, with
a heavy log upon them, which attempted
to pass over, There was plenty of time,
had the team been able to drag the heavy
concern up the steep grade and over the
tracks, but this they were unable to do,
from the fact that the hind wheels, to
| which the rear end of the log was at
tached, were to low to Keep it clear OF
the track. With this immense log right
| across the track, the team stuck.
| In minute the approach of the train,
drawn by Engine No. SO, and in charge
of Conductor Lummis, was heard. II
came laundering along at the rate OF
nifty miles an hour Persons who were

dent could not be avoided, that many oi
them averted their faces, and some ever
ran to avoid witnessing it. MIR. Frazer
hurried to his office, seized the red flag,
and at rate of speed very unusual fol
hun, hastened towards the approaching
train. In attempting to spring over the
log, his foot tripped and he had a severe
fall; but in an instant he was up and off
again, waving his flag as he ran. The
train was then within a few hundred
yards of the obstruction, but by ii mely
attention to the danger signal, and the
| immediate APPLICATION of the air brakes
the Engineer in charge Sargent sue
ceeded in stopping the engine, being at
the time il halted only ten feet from the
log. Had, Mr.. f. with his signal been
one instant later, we would have had
| sickening accident to record. Much
difficulty was experienced in removing
the log and wheels from the track, the
team having to be hitched to the rear
and draw 1t backwards. The train was
delayed about ten minutes.
While upon the subject we would cal

How TO PREVENT SMALL PoX Prs
A great discovery is reported to have been
made by surgeon in the English army
in China to prevet pitting and marking
| the face. The mode of treatment is as
follows: When in small pox the preced-
| ing fever is at its height, and just before
the eruption appears, the chest is thor
oughly rubbed with croton oil and Tar
tar-emetIc ointment. This causes the
whole of the eruption to appear on that
part of the body TO the relief of the rest.
1t also cures full and complete erup-
tion, and thus prevents the disease from
attacking the internal organs. This is
said to be now the established mode of
treatment in the English army in China,
by general orders, and is regarded as per-
tectly effectual.
