MYSTERIOUS PROCESSION On last Mon
day about ten o clock A. NJ, mysterious pro-
cession was seen crossing the iron bridge and
moving i'll the direction of Orangeville. This
| remarkable train was made up Of the following
heterogeneous parts: first a steam engine,
! next threshing separator, then wagon of
live and dead porkers and lastly fifteen vehicles
loaded with humorous as well as good looking
| ladies and gentlemen from Fishingcreek twp ,
The observer beheld singular spectacle and
| exclaimed "What on earth does all this
mean - Is this the first train of cars on the
| long ago projected Fishingcreek Il. X. or is
| it an emigration train moving southwark ?
The mystery was not solved till the train
| neared the village when it separated into its
homogeneous parts which took their respective
directions. The steam thresher went to
| Briatcreek, the pork wagon to Bloomsbury and
| the vehicles of human freight to the Reformed
parsonage of this place. This being the ami

effected, the party quietly took possession OF

opened Mrs. II. entered-a sea of faces loom

ninety persons took dinner at the parsonage on

MARROW ESCAPE.

The Erie mail train one morning last week
from Harrisburg to Willamsport, had mar
row escape from being reduced to splinters at
the Milton crossing of the Catawissa track The
mail arrived there about halfpast six in the
midst of heavy fog, which hid everything
from view. The engineer noticed that the sig
nal was right for him to proceed, and he did
not stop, as he had the right of way. As he
was pulling oyer the crossing, however, he
heard the rumbirg wheels of another train, but
was unable to see It, Fearing a collision he
stopped 50 that the Baltimore express car of his
train would be on the track of the Caawissa
| road. In moment a freight train dashed into
him, cutting the express car out and tumbling
it into the ditch, and ran straight through
Fortunately no one was injured, but the passen
gers in the rear cars were terribly alar med at
the crashing of wood and iron, as the freight
| train ploughed through The locomotive of the
| Catawissa train had her headlight knocked off,
and sustained other damages, but was not seri.
ously injured The express car was not very
| badly damaged, but its contents were scattered
pell NELL in all directions. Had the freight
train struck one of the passenger coaches the
loss of life might have been serious. Owing TO
the fores ight Of the engineer the passenger,
were sa ed, because If he had not stopped when
he did their car would have been in the way OF
the moving moving freight train and would
have received the blow
