horse FlaxeD to Petersburg, 40 miles, to buy
my fall stock of goods rs usual The rail
road was finished to Morse's tavern, the de
pot being near it. On my start for home a
new Atom engine was getting ready for a
trial trip. My horse had made his mile in
minutes pacing, so | rode to the North
Springs and waited for the engine to try
my animal against the speed for seven miles
to Billup's tavern. rs the roads were paral
lei started ahead Of the engine and
prompted my horse when it had overtaken
me. The engineer put on more steam and
screamed tina; my horse was making good
show for the race
The showers of sparks and smoke were
trying to me and more so to my horse. who
broke his pace, and gave up the race, but
arriving at .Iarratt's depot, 80 miles ahead
had my revenge. The engine had broken
down for good. was 10 miles ahead Of it
and said to my acquaintance at Bellheld
that the horse now held the way.-Cor
