The leading article in Worthington's Maga- zine for March entitled
PEEP

AT zine for March entitled wORTHINGToN's "Scenes in the Snake River Valley" by Prof G. Frederic Wright, of Oberlin College, is an account of trip taken for scientific purposes through nearly the whole length of this strange and desolate region. His way lay over the shoulder of the Teton noun tains which rise to height of over 5000 feet above the sea, and down into the great lava plains that stretch for hun dreds of miles, with here and there the sentinel-like cones of long-extnct volca- noes. Through this plain enormous gorges have been worn by the Snake River, the most remarkable being that in which is the Shoshone Falls, canon three times us wide and more than twice as deep as that at Niagara. Theie are also the Twin Falls,' where, in two branches, separated by a small island, the water plunges 250 feet in a single leap, the gorge continuing for many miles in undiminished proportions. The article is beautifully illustrated with many striking views of cataracts and canons and precipitous volcanic cliffs.

BURGLARS VISIT TOWN.

A burglar entered the residence of MT Hodges on Main street, last week, and carried off $l25 in cash and some other valuable property. The door of the room occupied by Mir and Mrs Hodges they keep locked. Mrs Hodges thought she heard the cat in the hall and arose, unlocked the door and open ed it. She was somewhat surprised to find a man with pistal pointed directly at her. She made an outcry that awoke MT Hodges, whos immediately arose to afford her assistance. The burglar quietly, but firmly insisted on their re- turning to their bed, and they very nat urally obeyed his commands. After careful tucking in the bed clothes about them he said no harm would befall them as long as they made no noise. He then carefully searched the apartment, told them he was going into the dining room to get something to eat and they had better not make any noise while he re- mained on the premises. All of which instructions they were careful to obey. Not the least clue to the bold operator is to be had. Mrs Hodges states that she would not be able to recognize him, so it is safe to say that he will get clear with his booty.

Crazed Engineers.

Insanity is very frequent among rail-
way employees. Two dramatic illustra-
lions can be mentioned There is living
in New Jersey, not far from Philadel-
phia, man who for many years was
the foremost passenger engineer between
New York and Philadelphia on the
Pennsylvania railroad. He ran all the
specials and best trains, and in 10 years
never had an accident One night in
the CLEAN of the headlight he saw a
woman. He had only time to see her
hands raised and to hear her cry, and
before he could put his hand upon the
lever he felt jerk under the wheels
and knew that all was over. Since that
night he has never been on an engine.
For months he did not sleep and later
became practically insane, but only on
the one point of seeing and hearing the
woman his engine killed. Now he goes
about harmlessly and aimlessly, but he
has to be kept away from railroads, and
in his fretful sleep he awakes with cries
and paroxysms of horror. The other
case is that of man who was conductor
of train on the Camden and Amboy,
whose train had an accident. He came
out all right himself, but it preyed so
upon his mind that one night he left his
home, and going to the point where the
accident occurred threw himself in
front of passing train, receiving in
juries from which he died. -Philadel-
