Locomotive Covered With Flies.

A curious sight was witnessed at Aberdeen station lately when a train arrived from FrasePburgh. As the train advanced the front of the engine appeared to be covered with dust, but on being examined closely it was found that there were thousands of small files, which had become attached to the engine, the front of which being covered with oil had acted tn a manner similar to flypaper. Such an incident is not remembered by the oldest railway officials.
