an adventure near Buckfield, Saturday. As

reached long trestle-work bridge it stopped
on the abutment to let the commissioners
alight. Commissioners Wild and Anderson
did so, but as Mr. Mortland was clambering
down, the train started over the trestle with
the astonished commissioner hanging on to
the rear railroad with no place to put his feet
and without sufficient strength tc pull himself
up onto the platform. If he let go he had
the certainty of ducking in the stream be-
low with the possibility of some more serious
accident. Taking in the situation he curled
his legs up and and hung on while the train
crossed the bridge. Messrs. Wild and An.

themselves hoarse on the opposite bank. A
slight lameress of the arms is Mr.. Mort
lands reminder of the exploit.
