KILLED ON THE RAIL.

Once more the old, old story is
repeated. Double track; trains com
ing both ways; man steps off one
track on to the other to avoid train
in front; gets knocked into "king-
dom come" By tram approaching
from behind, noise of which is
drowned by that of the other.
Moral: Keep off both tracks.
The victim this time was James
Pullium, of Amblersburg, who was
we'll known to many of the people
OF this county. Sunday morning,
October Goth, he was standing on
one track of the 3. & o. Railroad !,
just below No. 20 Water Station
and only about two hundred yards
from his home, watching a freight
train pass on the other track. The
noise of the freight killed the noise
OF No. 3, a fast train going west,
and although the engineer of the
latter train whistled sharply several
times, he failed to hear the warning
and was struck and almost instant
ly killed-one arm was broken and
a hand mangled; one leg and one
jaw were broken and his skull frac-
tured. The train was stopped soon
as possible and backed up to the
scene of the accident, but the I'M
fortunate man was dead before any
help reached him. He was carried
to his house and his son, ). Sbipley
Pullum, Of near Albrightsvile, was
sent for. The funeral took place
Monday at the Salt Lick Cemetery,
whore a large crowd attended the
services. The deceased was about
seventy years Of ago and came TO
this county from Petersburg, Pa,
before the war. He leaves a wife
and Eve children, four sons and a
daughter.

Must give us pause; there's tie re-
spect,
That makes office-holding Of SO
long life:
For who would bear the whirs and
scorns Of time,
The County Courts wrong and the
Clerks contumely,
The pangs of despair, the laws
delay,
The insolence of the Prosecuting
Attorney, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy
takes,
When he himself might his quietus
make
With bare pen? Who would such
burdens bear
And talk and write and try to cx-
plain
But that the dread Of something
after resignation
The undiscovered country, from
whose bourn
No Sheriff returns, -puzzles the will;
Ana makes us rather bear those ills
we have, q
Than fly to others that we know
not of?
Thus conscience does make towards
Of us all;
And thus the native hue of reso-
luton
Is sicklied DER with an after
thought,
And the ambition of an office-seek-
ing life
With its regard for the Sheriff's
Office
Stems the tide of despair and resig-
nation,
And their currents turn awry, so
that they lose the name of action.
