Saturday morning. No. ) was coming

not familiar with our language, was on
board the train and intended TO get of
at Barnesvile and 60 across the country

tram reached GAINESVILLE and did not
awake until he reached Belmont. The
train stopped and he was helped off, a
gentleman on the train assisting
him in carrying the pack he had
with him 10 the platform. The
man was quite aged, perhaps seventy
wears old, and after he and his pack had
been safely deposited on the siding, the
conductor rang the bell, and the train
moved on. The darkness obscured the
passage way, and it is thought that the
man whose name is supposed TO be

car wheels, and the shock being felt,

train TO a stand still, and the late pas

the track. From papers found on his
parson, it is supposed that he resided or
intended to go to Woodsfeld. He had
paid his fare, and it is thought he got on
at Mansfield.
