John Egbert mistook the Julietta water tank one day last week for the post office, dropped the mail there to the astonishment of the section men, the delight of passengers, and the curses of conductor and engineer who were obliged to back back after it. Eye sight failing. Hazzard will hang his ticket punch on a nail this summer on a short leave of absence from the road, and visit the Centennial as a representative of the Society of y. L. C. fc M. O. G. It wouldn't do to mention it; but we wili siuaplj" suggest that railroad employee, who was seen sauntering along the track near Morriblon-n

one night not long since with a paint brush and bucket in search of wood piles might tell the boys where he takes his hash. Conductor Smith had charge of the St. Patrick Excursion from Connersville last week. The employees of this road are exceptions. They are unrivalled by any other set of men in the Union. From news boy to conductor and engineer. They are all accommodating, polite-, honest and handsome. Nye's cheeks bloom like two roses, and he laughs like the chime

of silver bells, all on account of the perfect agrceablness of a matrimonial life. Pender &. Becker are now bending their energies toward laying aside business and taking a trip to the Black Hills next summer. Tlicy only await the decision of Gilson, who will go as interpreter and story teller for the party. Paul eulogizes the Madri Gras to this day, and wonders where they ever got so many horses and good looking men. Ote Grume, one of the best engineers as well as a man with a big heart was in town last week. Rankin don't swing that lantern of his for the benelit of the engineer all the time, nixie. Rumor reaches of an endeaver to reduce the wages again alonr the line. If there is any set of men that deserves to be paid and well paid it is railroad men, who take their lives in their hand, face unseen dangers, and suddenly leave a family to weep over their sudden demise in some railroad accident. The wife of George Butler, passenger agent of the C. II. fc I., died at the residence of her father, at Augusta, Ind. Tuesday. The engines of the Cincinnati, Hamilton fc Indianapolis road are draped, oufof respect to the memory of A. YY Moore, who was killed Monday morning. The Wcstinghouse air brake is now in use on the express trains run over the Cincinnati, Hamilton fc Indianapolis, and will be immediately put on all passenger trains. The funeral services of A. W. Moore, the engineer killed in the explosion at the Union Depot at Indianapolis, were attended by the Indianapolis Division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to the number of fifty, and by the otlicials of the C. 1L fc I. inoji Tin: HU'AJirs. Mu. Editor: Being under the impression that you would like to hear from our little village again, I will just occupy the present opportunity by dropping 3011 a line of the whys and wherefores. The date of this article finds our little village still above high water mark, the Hoods somewhat abated. Nevertheless the linn of the gas and lye are still bubling, doing at present a lively business, and anticipating fear I suppose of being inundated hy the heavy rains in the future. Navigation being as yet practicable. Sam. our special reporter still makes regular trips attending lo the mail matter and other peoples, just like every other individual possessed of more brains than good sense. Sarnie is a good trusty, practical hand at the business, and always on time, and never out of breath. Our special reporter is such a popular indiviual in our midst, 3-our correspondent can hardly withhold his pen from saying more, however I will for the present let him drit ashore. Our village being situated in rather a low swampy district. It sccnis advisable as a matter of course for us to have a physician, the inhaitants being more or less subject to chills and ague, &c. Consequently that little matter falls into the hands of our genial friend Dr. Flitcraft, which as matter of course knocks the breath out off with a little box of pills, which he, the Dr. peddles about the country, while his wite takes care of the family at home. I would advise any one when in town if not feeling good or otherwise chilly, give the Dr. a call. A telegram from Goodwins Corner, Ind. refers to an accident which happened a few days since. In which one "Skite" came very near being horible mangled in the wheel of a sulky, the spring being of light material, broke Jetting the above

named individual down to motherearth without a moments warning, Fortunately nothing serious in particular only the gathering together of the aforesaid partv. "It, was

quite laughable indeed" so his girl I said. Young man you hud better i go a little hiow next time especially ! when you take your dulcena out j riding or get something on wheels I a little more substantial. J. Pentecost and wife are of on a visit this week to Johnson Co. Miss Ida Grume's school closed a few days ago, giving entire satisfaction to both parents and scholars. Shook Alias Snxrm:sHAXK.
