The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-02-05
Early RaiIroadinp.

When railroads were first introduced.
the engineers, as we call them-or the
engine drivers, as they are called in Eng
land-ran their trains almost as they
liked, making up time when they had
fallen behind, picking up such informa-
ton as they could as to the state of the
track ahead of them, and for the most
part plunging ahead with their ma
chimes without much more than a sur
mise whether they should bring up at
their destination or at the bottom of
some high embankment.
Some of the results of this want of
system would have been amusing if thev
had not been disastrous. Mr.. Laurence
Oiphant, an English traveller and author,
tells in one of his books a rather grim
story of q trip which he made by rail, in
1855, from Chicago to New York. Over
part of the distance the train made the
extraordinary speed, for that time, of
fifty miles an hour, and presently it ran
off the track.
Fortunately, the cars were imbedded
in soft clay ditch, and no one was
seriously hurt; and in the midst of the
commotion, Mr.. Oliphant says he heard
the engineer thus admonish the switch
man, whose carelessness had caused the
accident
"Now, Tom, this is the third time
you've forgot to set that switch, and the
last time there was twenty people went
under and the rest was bruised. So
mind what you're about, and don't for
get that switch again, for if you do I'll
tell the bossn
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-02-05

Quietelet, in his well known treatise,
"On Man" pointed out that the growth
of town children is quicker than that
of country children. The demands
from the nutritive powers are larger,
and consequently we can understand
how it comes about that the educa-
tional burden is felt more by town chill
dren than their country cousins. Town
life is not a natural life. If it has Ger.
tain advantages, it also has sundry
drawbacks. The imperfect develop
ment of the digestive organs has far
reaching consequences. The realiza.
ton of the fact that the digestive diff
culties of town dwellers lead them to
adopt dietary which is injurious in its
after results will cause them to cor
rect it.
Already, indeed, we see many blndly
starting out on a new track in the
spread of vegetarianism, along with the
'Blue Ribbon" In this action they
have not waited for physiology to pro-
nounce an authoritative opinion, but
have acted on their own account,
guided by some instructive impulse.
Notifications in our food customs are
required for town dwellers. They
should have food which will nourish
them and sustain without any bad after
effects, and which they can digest.
Possibly, too, before long it will be
found that some modification of the
existing scheme Of education is desir
able in the interest of the weaker chill
dren. Possibly, too, it may be found
that little town mites expand when re-
stored to the country, and can lead a
more natural life than that to which at
present they are condemned by the
growth of large towns, which exercise
such malign influence upon those who
dwell therein, and especially those who
are born and reared in such towns

Justice Weir received a message re-
questing his presence at the hamlet of
Blue Lick to marry couple. He at
once mounted and started, but was
greatly impeded by the swollen streams
that lay across his path. When he
reached Blue Lick Creek he found that
ordinarily placid stream raging, roar
ing torrent, impossible.
While trying to devise some plan to
get across there was chatter Of hoofs
ON the opposite side of the stream, and
in moment horse was pulled up on
the edge of the water. On its back
was Harvey Taylor, who held on the
pommel of his saddle Kate Newny.
The couple wanted to get married, and
that quickly. How to do it in view of
the water barrier was question.
Finally the justice from this side of
the creek suggested that the license be
wrapped in handkerchief and tied to
rock and thrown over to him for ex-
animation. This was done Then the
justice mounted his horse, and using
his hands for trumpet, shouted the
words that are usually employed in
marriage ceremonies at the hand in
hand couple across the stream. They
shouted back the responses, and the
justice declared the knot tied
About 200 feet of water separated
Justice Weir from the couple, and the
roar of the torrent and the patter of
the rain probably rendered the service
and responses inaudible, but as all
formalities were observed the marriage
is certainly legal. Louisville Ky.)
