Presence of Mind.

A peculiar accident recently happened on the Chicago and Erie railroad at Harrods, O. A freight train was running twenty miles an hour, when a sled loaded with logs drove upon the track a short distance ahead. There was no snow on the crossing and the horses could not haul the sled across. The driver saw the danger, pulled the pin from the sled doubletree and drove the learn away. He haS not been heard of since and was not recognized. The train struck the sled and a bad wreck followed. A new engine was demolished.-f St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
