Last Saturday morning the excur sion train from Macon to Madison ran off the track below Hillsboro, and came near having a serious wreck. The engine jumped the track and turned over, while the trucks and some of the cars were in jured. After the excitement had somewhat abated, the following res olutions were adopted: “Resolved, That the thanks of all the passengers in the excursion train lire hereby tendered to the Engineer, Vi illiam Roberts, for his prompt action in putting on the air brakes, reversing his engine and holding the lever until the engine went down, thus practically saving the lives of all the passengers by hie courageous fidelity. Also to his colored fireman, George Ross, who stood at his post and aided in the prevention of a most dreadful accident. Resolved, 2. That we commend most earnestly the faithful and vig orous work of the Conductor, Frank i>. Whitehead, who while the glass and fractured timbers were flying in every direction, leaped from the cars, and going to the help of the imprisoned engineer, before the en gme had fully settled down, and at the risk of his own life, threw the engineer from his perilous position, and thus aiding in saving his life. The passengers also adopted a res olution ot thanks to I)r. R. O. tor his prompt and valuable services in attending the engineer and others. V.' RtlKT.

Dowu at the burn yard some wee Jersey calves peep through the bars with great wondering eyes with an expression 1 so child-like that wo til most forget tout they are only young cattle after all. The cute little creatures have been tramp ing all day among the clover blooms nipping a lender shoot here and there, and slaking their thirst in the crystal waters of a brook that goes chattering in and out among the alder bushes. The youthful epicures have gorged themselves, and tired of rambling, they have come to the gate to meet their mothers, who are trudging leisurely home from the fields. A squadron of little pttsley pigs, with floppy ears and inquisitive noses, are grunting among the straw piles, and a dudi-di gobbler is showing off his accomplishments to a troupe of noisy fowls. The big buff cochin rooster looks down with ineffable contempt on the presumptons and fussy, self important little bantam, who is sid ling around the biggest, plumpest and most matronly dominioker hen in the burn yard. A troop of querulous and suspic ious looking guinea fowls, that might be so handsome if they were not so gossipy and selfish, are “put caching” along the hedge-row, and on the piuiele of the tallest gate post on the farm is a rowdy looking game cock, crowing as loud as his lungs will allow him. Then there is theold-time smoke house, through the cracks of whose wall creep the seductive odor ot brown bams, with suggestions of red gravy in the dim and distant mon,,a * perspective. In the old garden are ranks of on ions, platoons of green peas, forests of berry bushes and tangles of grape vines. A peep into the dairy reveals in ot,s cfyeilow gold butter and great pans of miik, on which the cream is so thick that the real milk is indis cernablc. Out near the chicken coops, where the biddies are cheeping and chirp ing after their solicitous mothers, rises a grand statue of some hero of the olden time. The stranger gazes on this apparition and begins to wonder why it is there, and grows very much mystified, until, finally, a closer inspection reveals the tact that the wnilom statue is only an awkward looking rag man plaeod there to scare the hawks out of their wits. Ah, there arc many things we saw that I could tell you of.
