Pigeon Races With Train.
rom the Newborn Journal.

From the Newbern Journal.
The passengers on the mail train from
Morehead City due here in the morning
are greatly interested In the peculiar con-
duct of a pigeon which is owned by a nan
Ia Wildwood and engages the train in a
race from Wildwood TO Havelock every
morning. distance OF fifteen miles.
The bird apparently watches for the ap-
proach of the train and flies along with
1t. sometimes ahead of 1t. but It never fails
to accompany the train. 1t flies so near the
cars that passengers can almost touch &c.
When the train stops at Newport the bird
perches nearby and waits for It to start.
when 1t continues it's journey to Havelock.
then returns to it's home, evidently with
the impression on its little brain that It
has discharged some duty.
The pigeon is handsome, being white with
black head. No other bird seems to take
this freak, nor does this one attach itself
to any other train, and the wonder grows
how the bird appears to prefer this train
to any other. 1t will be sadly missed when
for any reason it discontinues its regular
flights.
