Trains Stalled by Leaves.

Munising, Oct. 23.-Trains in this
vicinity have been stalled" in pc
culiar manner of late. The morning
train TO Little Lake has been de-
layed several times by leaves which
have fallen on the track to such depth
that the rails were covered. The leaves
were very slippery, on account of the
dew, and caused the wheels on the en-
gine to slip. The engine was stuck
with only two loads, two empty cars
and the passenger coach, and at one
place it took 20 minutes to get over
half a mile of track.
