SIRs:-One week ago yesterday we had,
what some of our best informed citizens
pronounced corner of a regular western
blizzard, which heaped up the snow that
fell into the roads making them impossible
and even sent small drifts through the
cTevices into our houses and bars, making
it very unpleasant for people unaccus!omed
to that kind of thing.
AT present writing the wind is blowing
hither thither at rate which suggests the
idea, that some erratic cyclone in search of
a job, has been let loose amongst us, and
for our amusement is about to give us an
exhibition of its skill at tossing things
about,

suffered inconvenience or loss.

voluntarily without fee or reward to &C

AN OLD CONDUCTOR Rx PLoDKs POPULAR IN
PRESTON THAT IT Is.


Passengers have an idea, said an old con-
ductor yesterday, that the last car in a
tam is the safest but they are greatly mis-
taken. During an experience of twenty
two years in the railroad business, always
avoided the last car. My reasons will be
apparent when / explain.
"jf rail should happen to be broken,
the last car is the one that is the most La
bic 10 jump the track. The engine and
the other cars may pass over safely. You
see the cars keep the rail in place, but
when the last car is reached, there is moth
ing to brace the parts, the fractured por-
tion is knocked out of position ond the last
coach is on the ties. To illustrate, 1 re-
member | was riding in csboose one
time when met with a most painful acci-
dent. We encountered broken rail, and
as is often the case, the engine and a long
train passed over all right. The caboose,
being the last car was thrown from the
track, and we rolled over and over. There
was redhot stove in the cabin, and was
horribly burned before the train could be
stopped. One or two of the brakemen
were severely injured. have come to the
conclusion that there is as much danger in tie
rear end of train as there is in the for
ward part. Should the train stop another
is likely to telescope yon. Ga some of the
western roads the common passen ger
coaches are carried behind and the sleep.
ers are put in the center of the train, for
no other reason than the latter one given
