by his presence of mind averted a hor'
rible accident. The train was standing
at the station, when by some mistake q
freight train was backed upon the main

train, TO avert collision, reversed his
train and with the fireman jumped. The
collision was slight, but the passenger
engine soon was running at frightfu
speed. The conductor, noting the de

WAsHINGToNvILLE, A VILLAGE OF WEST
chester county between the limits Of
New York and Mt. Vernon, suffers from
a confusing plurality Of names. Wash
ingtonville is its ancient name, but
many persons call it Mt. Vernon, while
others give it the name Of South Mt
Vernon. The Federal Government,
disregarding local usage, names the
local Post Office Wakefield. Packages
go astray in hopeless confusion because
the local railway passenger station is
Washingtonville, while the freight and
express station is Mt. Vernon. When
ever the people of Washingtonyille
seek to extricate themselves from this
confusion they are admonished to be
patient until they can be swallowed by
New York or Mt. Vernon.
