Brief mention OF the death OF Henry
S~hattuck, a brother OF our townsmaD,
Edward A. Shattuck, in a railroad wreck
between Buffalo and Erie was made last
week, but at that time particulars OF the
accident were not known From Bufalo
papers, ii is learned that he met his death
at the post OF duty. His engine, drawing
a limited express train, struck a clogged
switch and was derailed. His fireman
jumped and saved his life and Mr.. Shat
tuck could have done the same, but be
kept his place, turned the lever and saved
the train, but the engine bumped itself TO
pieces and came down upon him in the
ditch. His heroism has created much
comment and one of the Buffalo papers
urges the Lake Shore company ''to put
mis- name and the facts OF his death upon
iron or brass tablet and to fasten that
tablet upon the walls OF the train house,
where the world can read it and keep it in

neer, the last "a years on the Lake Shore.
