 Will Parmely, aged IS years, and re- station was walking on the Housatonic railroad track near the residence of A. c. Waterbury, on the evening of Sept 27 last, and as the night was dark he carried lantern. He came upon four telegraph poles which had fallen across the track. It was nearly time for the past express which stops at this station, and he could not remove the poles. He hurried with all possible speed, for the station. The train soon arrived and Will notified Conductor Lane who there upon moved hIs train slowly to where the Instructions lay. The united eff forts of several men removed the poles. It was a very fortunate thing that Will came along as he did for the road is sell dom travelled by foot passengers and the distance from the depot to where the poles lay Is such that express trains run very rapidly when reaching that point, and the darkness was such that the train must have run into them, which would undoubtedly have wrecked the train, besides endangering the pas Sengers. In our opinion it would be but just for the railroad company to re- mumerate the,worthy young man for his meritorious conduct and prompt action, thereby saving from destruction the fin est express train that leaves New York city, and many worthy passengers. New Milford may have had such a case but Will Parmely of this place certainly had and should be kindly remembered by the Housatonic railroad company fer the service he rendered. He is a poor and hard working young man, and has the respect of all in this community.
