noon. An old gentleman, who is CON

once jumped on to the track and rescued
him, both preservcr and preserved falling
on to the platform the engine not beng
more than three feet from the two. 1t
was a prompt and brave act OF Capt.

saving a fellow being from a horrible
death.
The election last Tuesday passed off
very pleasantly and harmonlous'y. The

made no mistake in elccting Mr.. Bart,
lett as its representative. He will attend
to his legislative duties with characters
tic fidelity and ability. Ed. Gonya is to
be congratulated on the vote cast tor
