A PASSENGER train on the B. and o.
ran into Woodstock, w. Va, day or
two ago with mich COW standing on
the engines pilot, chewing her cud as
placidly and calmly as if that mode OF
travel was an ordinary affair OF daily
! occurrence. The engineer saw a COW
standing on the track a short distance
ahead of the train when about mile
out of the town, and as it was impossible
to stop the train he opened the throttle
wide and went at the animal with rush,
expecting to knock it entirely ott the
track. Instead of being thrown from
the track the pilot lifted the COW off her
feet, and the momentum OF the train
carried her up on the engines pilot,
where she was lodged safely and without
injury when the train came to stop.
When the COW was lifted off she walked
away quietly and unconcerned.
