Saved by a Load of Hay.
THE STORY TOLD BY AN ERIE RAILROAD
MAN.

ST tell you what, boys, I've raiIroaded
1t for years and been mixed up in all
kinds of disasters, but 1 hope to croak
right here if want to be the eyewitness
again of such an awful sight as I saw a

tall and handsome woman got into the
ladies' car at Dunkirk. With her was
bright and interesting boy, possibly
two years of age. The child laughed
and croaked and played with the pass
engers. When the train left Cattarau-
gus the woman, who seemed nervous,
got out OF her seat, picked up the baby
aud started for the rear end of the
coach. A short distance east of Catta-
raugus is long, deep gulf, over which
the railroad has built high trestle
The dIstanc" from the top of the trestle
to the wagon road below is perhaps one
hundred feet. A sharp and short curve
leads to the trestle. As the train
rushed over the gulf woman's piercing

object leap from the platform into the

pulled the bell-cord and the train came
to halt. How it happened / cannot
say, but at the time the woman jumped
a load of hay, drawn by pair of oxen,
passed under the trestle. Mother and
child landed squarely in the centre of
the hay and were thus saved from a
horrible death. The farmer was so hor
rificd that he jumped from his wagon
and darted up the hill. The woman,
who was not hurt in the least, said her
name was Mrs. Adam Scell and her
home in Michigan. She was on her way,
to visit friends in the oil country. Hers
was indeed miraculous escape. Mrs.
Sell said that sho could not explain her
action. When near the car door she
was seized with an insane desire to
Jump from the train. The farmer, rs
he drove along, was thinking of his
dead wife and daughter. When the Wis
tors came through tho clouds, as 1t
were, and landed on his hay, he thought
hat the dear departed had come back

The LOVE OF IT.-Sidney Smith did
not often give play to his everlasting
wit in the church. Still, now and then
it would fly off in despite of all his care.
He was the preacher once for some

giving side of his hearers, he said: "Of
all nations on The earth the English are
the most distinguished for the love of
their species. But it turned out q poor
collection after all. SO he was much

made when they came to the table and
said: "My friends 1 have made a mis-
take. I should have said: you were
