+ 4 dastardly outrage was per.
petrated upon the public and the
Sbermau's Valley Railroad on Thurs,
day of last week.
The first train down contained
thirteen cars, loaded with about one
thousand people. On the grade i'm.
mediately east of Valley Road station
the rails had been plastered owe,
with soap and tallow, so that the
train could not ascend only after con
siderable trouble. The train was
cut and taxed up in sections, after
the rails had been sanded, causing
considerable delay and inconvenience.
The offense was repeated in the even
ing with the last train going to
Biair. 1t was heavily loaded and
when the grade was reached at Neil
sons woods, west of Valley road sta
ton, the rails were found soaped aud
creased, necessitating the same ef-
forts to ascend as had to be resorted
to in the morning
This malicious and revengeful act
calls for severest punishment. 1t is
q penitentiary offense. The Sher
mans Valley Railroad Company
should employ every means in it's
power to apprehend the person who
committed the deed
