BRAVE DEED OF A LOCOMOTIVE PILOT
IN BALTIMoRE.-The Baltimore Ners of
Tuesday, has this item: An incident occur
red yesterday morning in which Patrick
Flynn, an employe of the p, W. & B. Il.
r. Company, figured as something of a
hero. Flynn is employed as pilot, whose
duty it is to ride on the front of the engine
on all trains from the depot to and from
the city limits to see that the track is clear
of all obstacles. Yesterday, as the New
York express was nearing Ann street, on
Canton avenue, the pilot observed small
child not more than three years of age,
standing upon the track, apparently alto
gether oblvious of the approaching danger
and regardless of the ringing of the bell
and the sounding of the whistle The
train was running at the rate of seven
or eight miles an hour; the engineer was
signaled, and the brakes whistled down.
Another moment and the child would have
met with terrible death, when Flynn
reached out his hand and SEIZED the child.
at the same time throwing himself with a
vigorous effort from the engine to the side
OF the track, bearing the child in his hand.

REIlGIOIS.


The protracted meeting in the Methodist
Church was in progress about two weeks,
but the result not being as favorable as on
former occasions, it closed on Monday even
ing last. Since then our pastor has been

A SCARED GOAT.
Mr.. VIM. Heath had goat that felt dis
posed to fare sumptuously on his neigh
boris corn, and becoming quite annoying
to the little son who had run himself out
of breath, one day, to no effect, concluded
to scare it ont by discharging gun close
by it. SO taking aim, as he supposed, Il
little above the animal, fired away, and to
the establishment of the little fellow, he
scared the misclievous creature to death.
\ TRAMP IN TROUBLE.
One day recently, just as a train was
moving away from our station, a tramp
stepped on board; the brakeman at once
pulled the bell rope, ard as the train stop
ped, Mr.. Tramp "stepped down and out, :"
but as soon as the train started, he bounced
on again. This was rather more than the
brakeman could well bear. He seized him
by the throat aud snatched him eff the
train in a hurry, jumped on and left the
disappointed tramp to follow after.
DAM COMPLETED.
The Shannon dam has been completed,
although the work has been very much de
layed by several heavy freshets.
