No. "a, met with an accident near the
depot. While backing on the siding the

tanning the Southern mail and the mail
North. The wreck-train arrived about
$3.50, and by 10 O'Clock the track was clear.

urday night last. Quite number were
present and from the frequent applause
were much pleased with the Professors

three days, are still awaiting to see the
things spring out OF the ground Some
very clever tricks were performed ana
showed conclusively That the hand Is
quicker than the eye.
