Tuesday afternoon the west bound
passenger train on the branch road
was stopped on the heavy grade near
the electric light power house by q
number Of horses on the track. They
were all scared off except one old
gray, which concluded to take a ttot
down the track. He had not gone
far till be reached the open trestle,
about thirty feet above the ground.
Old gray started across the trestle,
and did not make a misstep till he
reached the center, when he stopped,
trembled violently, and let his fore
legs slip between the ties. 1t took
the whole train crew two hours to
get him off the track. His legs
we're somewhat Scared up, but he
was not otherwise hurt.
ST. Louis Chistian Advocate. We
are pleased to see in the beautiful
catalogue Of Central Female College at
Lexington, Mo-, sent out by DR..
Williams, that Miss Marguerite Hunter,
daughter of the presiding elder Of that
district, took the scholarship medal
this year. 1t seems to Us but yesterday
since this charming yonng lady was =
wee little prattler. lulling herself 10
sleep upon her fathers lap, repeating
with remarkable preeocity the whole Of
the story Of the elephant and the tiger.
Now she IS putting forth these same
powers, winning honors over girls
older than herself, and giving pleasure
to her friends as we'll as to her parents
in her achievements. We wonder #
any of the croakers, who have so much
to say against preachers children,
have noticed how these same children
have been taking the honors at our
schools and colleges latelyP Forgive
our boasting. But we know that an
education is all a preacher can hope
to give his children, and it gives us Sc
much pleasure when one OF them has
won distinction, we cannot help bul
boast q little Of the fraternity.
