Primitive Station.

There is in England a railway station which has only one train each way a week —at Blackwell Mill, situated midway between -Miller’s Dale and Buxton. Blackwell Mill consists of eight workmen’s cottages on the banks of the Wye. They are occupied by railway workmen, and It Is for the convenience of the wives who wish to Journey to Buxton for marketing that on Friday mornings the 9:10 train from Miller’s Dale stops at Blackwell Mill. The two uncovered platforms of the “station” are of the length of a railway coach, and composed of rough stone and gravel. The “waiting room'* Is a platelayer’s hut, where the travelers are glad to shelter from the keen wind on winter mornings. The train carries the stationmaster, who distributes the privilege tickets.
