Train COG, Of the Iron Mountain road,
that arrived at the Union Depot yesterday
morning at 2 o'clock, bad a narrow escape
about l1:4O the night before that would
have resulted in the loss Of many lives II
the train had been fifteen minutes later.
It was between Frederickstown and Mar.
quand, 104 miles from st. Louis, when the
train containing one baggage car, two
coaches and one sleeper, was rounding q
short curve. The engineer, named Boyle,
observed that bridge 872, which he
was about TO pass through, about loo
feet in length, was wrapped in one
sheet OF flames. To stop his train Boyle
saw was impossible at suCta short dis
lance, and the only alternative was to 90
through the bridge on the track or go
through the small stream that'fowed be-
low. The dash was made safely through
the flames, and then stop was effected.
The train hands all lent helping hand
and the flames were extinguished, but not
before q large portion had been eaten
away by the FIRE. The passengers on
board the train did not learn how near
they were to death as they lay stretched
out in sleep. As stated by the trainmen
in charge, II the train would have been
only about fifteen minutes behind time in
reaching this bridge, the fire would have
burned into the supports, and it would have
been impossible forth eengineer to stop the
train, and all on board would have persisted
horrible death either by fire, water, or In
the collision.

in the matter'of innocent pleasures 1t will

A Dream that was Not AL DTSam-Bit
Hartford POst.
A few nights ago Il. X. stoughton, Of
South Windsor, dreamed that he was bit
ten by snake, and when he arose in the
morning he found one Of his forefngers
bearing the imprint Of couple Of teeth:
It was stiff and somewhat swollen, and
caused him more or less pain. The blood
escaped from the effected portion when 1t
was pressed. The following morning the
finger was no better, and considerable
blood was forced out through the injured
parts. Mr.. Stoughton was unable 70 &C.
account for the bite. While in his room
during the day, sitting near the window,
he discovered an adder making its way
through from the vines which shaded
the sides OF the house. The rep
tile had climbed up the lattice:
work, winding It's way along, and darted
into The chamber. There 1t was killed by
Mr.. Stoughton. Whether it had been In
the room before OF course cannot be known
positively, but the superstition is that 1t
had, and that Mr.. Stoughton was actually
bitten by 1t while he was asleep. His
hand was probably outside the bedclothes,
and the snake may have nestled near it
for warmth. The sensation from feeling
the reptile may have caused movement
OF the hand while Mr.. stoughton was
asleep and occasioned the bite. Adders
frequently get into houses in the country,
and have been found curled up in bed.
The bites are poisonous, though not neces-
ssrily fatal. Tho fl4t.headed adder is an
occasion OF dread wherever 1t Is found,
and one is thoroughly justified in trying
to escape from it without giving 1t battle,
unless he has long club at hand with
which hs is sure Of killing it at blow.

A pI.ru.ted prnmmer.

Mr.. Holly Armstrongrecently appointed
to the Grow Agency aud which hes been
declined by him after visit to the agency,
gives the following reasons for not accept
ing the position, before arriving at the
Agency he was surprised that It was
located on vast prairie with not even q
bush or rock to break the awful expanse
OF nature. The few white people who live
there are destitute Of all culture, their
only object being TO obtain food and
clothing sufficient for their wants. Com.
Portable dwellings are not INDUCED in,
habitations excavated in the earth being
the style. One room partitioned of with
boards sufiicing for family Of six or
more persons. But what disgusted Mr.
Armstrong most was the filthy condition
Of the Indians, and who are the sole COM
panions Of the Indian Agent. These mis-.
erabla creatures as seen by Mr.. A. with
the exception Of piece ofblanket fasten-
ed to their loins were destitute OF cloth
ing. The flesh OF these almost naked per-
sons was filthy in the extreme, aud insect
eating, after the fashion Of tho monkeys,
was one OF their chief delights. AT the
expiration Of every six days, the Govern

a Curious Pear Tree.

MIhospVt AhtSS'
At the old Hoffman homestead, out
Crooked run, there Is q curiosity that
many gardeners have been puzzled over
for months and to-day they are as far of
as they were when first they saw Il. The
property Is occupied by Robert Gordon
and the peculiarly Of the puzzle was first
noticed by him when he removed to the
property. 1t is q pear tree, but most
peculiar one. When first noticed 1t was
thought to be grapevine, but Is was not.
The tree looks from its limbs or vines to
be several years old, and runs from the
trunk close to the ground to the top OF
the house. The limbs are numerous and
the size OF mans wrist and cling to the
wall as grapevine does. The leaves are
those OF pear tree and the most promi-
nent proof that it is such tree is that the
fruit 1t bears is larger than the Grand
Duchess pear"
