IA healthy state Of affairs.
A narrow escape from an accident was
made on the p, W. \ b., near town this
week. \ party of the road hands were pass
Ing over the road in q hand car and found
themselves about being overtaken by an en-
press train, coming down upon them from
behind, and to escape hurriedly shifted their
car from the track they Were using to the
otter. Hardly was their car upon the
second track, when they found that they
had escaped from the frying pan into the
fire, for Il few .lundrell yards below them
was seen approaching upon the fraelc they
had Just placed their ear upon: another EN-
press train. |: was with the greatest dim
culty that the erew managed To clear the
track Tor the second time, which they did
however succeed in accomplishing.
Two young gentlemen of this town,
while ON their way home at quite a late
hour, on Tuesday night, We're startled to
hear tie cry of burglar from the second
storg 81 4 dwelling, not many blocks away
from tie NATIONAL Bank. They recognized
the voice and en4uiftGg the cause Of the
out cry, were informed thai i've men had
just forced an entry to an adjoining l.o|Se,
and We're then within, perhaps numbering
the occupants. by the time this narrative
was concluded the desire of the two young
gents &c Interview a pair of burglars, had
grown very ia...;. and they fell back in
good, but quick ogaie. 10 Ge Howard House.
Here mum Der al teFS2uS well tu:lnd, and
the party proceeded to capture tis lto4fse
breakers. The mountain proves BIZ; :. :.lCse
hill however. for when they reached the
premises supposed to be invaded, the TWO
Eileged burglars proved To be couple of
the voung men of the house. whom the
neighbour saw going in and miSiook for rob-
beers. So&.lr persons are heartlrss enough 10
say that tlta t.o Young gents were scared
and ran, but We jdcG;1 kaiiaVe this.
