by two horses, and in the vehicle Law the

hideous dream frightened her, and in the
morning she communicated it to several
friends, who laughed at what was termed
her foolish fancies. Conductor Brown
was fatally mangled by the cars that day
at noon, and as the solemn procession,
headed by the wagon bearing the man.

That was my dream" and swooned

when he heard the noise of an approa-
ching freight train. 1t was evident to
bim that the engineer did not see him,
Tor the train did not slacken speed
Mr. Caldwell was in q terrible plight.
HIS remarkable presence Of mind and
strength saved him from the death that
seemed to await him. The bridge
appeared to him to be narrower, he says,
than at any other time when he had
crossed 1t, although he was alays aware
that it was not intended to accommodate
foot passengers. He saw that there
WAS not pace sufficient beyond the ties
on the trestlework for him to stand while
the train passed. He also realized that
to lie down was not means to escape,
as the steps Of the cars would dash his
brains out. He decided to depend on
muscles to save him, and being an athlete,
he hastily crawled to the side of the
bridge, seizing large tie with vice-like
grip and swung in the air 100 feet above
the water.
The few seconds occupied by the train
In passing seemed to Caldwell like an
age. After the train had passed he
found that his hands were numb, and
his strength seemed to forsake him, vet
with remarkable nerve and superhuman
strength he finally drew himself on the
bridge and proceeded homeward, coat

Forty years ago Joseph Miles, OF

He got tired of this and told his wife
that he thought they'd better make a
change. She objected, and in fact
refused to quit her old home. He said
that she could do as she pleased, and
that If ever she decided to live with him
shed lH welcome, but he wouldn't return
10 Mlllerton. So he left her and their
boy. She made her home with her
parents on their farm. The husband
fought through the war, then went to
Sidney, n. Y, and began to make money,
He acquired a snug little fortune, but
had no one to share it with.
A friend who knew his story went To
Millerton, found Mrs. Miles living on
the homestead with the boy, a man of
"a years, told her all about Joseph and
induced her to consent to 90 to Sidney
and join him. She didn't need much
persuasion, and Joseph, too, was glad
when he Learned of the negotiations.
The neighbors heard Of it, and the other
night thronged to the railroad station to
meet the train that brought Mrs. Miles,
she didn't know him, but after the intro
dtuction they seemed very happy, and
have taken up welded life where thew

The Peach YeIIOws. Stephen Bower.
OF Sassafras, who was in town on
Tuesday, reports a number of orchards
In the upper part of the county afflicted
with this dread disease, the " Yellows." !"
Mr.. Boyer states that for one of his
farms he purchased three thousand
trees from a northern nursery and
when it was three years old discovered
three trees suffering with the yellows.
He had them dug up and no other tree
took the disease-for sixteen wears that
orchard was healthy and vigorous.
William Meeks, of Still Pond Neck,
states that a young orchard of one
thousand trees in his vicinitv-onIv
one year old-has lost nearly One-haIf
its number by the disease. There is
no hope for tree when once attacked.
and not much hope for its neighbors. if
1t is allowed to remain in proximity.
The sooner the diseased trees are re-
moved the better. Mr.. Bower thinks
the trouble is not in the soil, and cites
the fact that in the case of the above
mentioned orchard, from the very spots
he removed the three diseased trees he
successfully grew others.-Kent Ne,Us.
