A Novel Arrangement.

The New Hampshire method of pre-
venting railroad accidents where the
tracks cross the streets in the cities and
towns in that State, is worth consider
ing, At the crossing, ON either side of
the street, stand two high posts, so ar
ranged that on the approach of train
the tops of the posts fall across the
street and unite in the centre forming a
perfect fence, while at the same time, by
a curious contrivance, sign bearing
the word Danger" in bold characters
in displayed in front of the barrier. No
team can pass while the posts are down,
but, when the train passes, by some
automatic arrangement the posts resume
their upright position and the crossing
is again opened for vehicles and pedes-
trians. You never hear of an accident
at crossing in that State.
