abr Train Matters Of Poffsforn.

The Norristown Herald gives a de.
cided illustration o. life in the small
railroad town in the following
"When the Sunday afternoon train
from Reading, Pa, reaches Pottstown
the passengers always find three or
four hundred people-mostly young
men-at the station to welcome them.
Old travellers would feel lonesome il
the crowd wasn't there, and would
probably never travel that road again.
II the train meets with an accident
and doesn't arrive at Pottstown until
midnight, half of the male population
of the town are there to receive it all
the same. 1t is said that the con-
ductor one Sunday afternoon, lust for
a joke, jumped the track two miles
above Pottsiown, and ran his train
across the fields, striking the rails
again Just above Limerick. When
the several hundred persons who con-
gregated at the depot, as usual, learn
ed how they had been fooled, they pc
titioned the Town Council to move
the borough back six miles from the
railroad, in order to get even with
the Railroad Company. This is relia-
ble--if true.
