This is the way iu which he responded :â€" "O Lord, now that I have fioggod Thee, lift up my feet from the rough road and plant them finuly on the deck of the train of salvation. Let me see the safety lamp known as prudence, make all tha couplings in the train with the strong litHl of.Thylo*«, and let my hand lamp be Ae^.

Benjamin Corley, a faimer living near Meafurd, was hoisted b* an en;;ine while cronoiiig ths railway track with a wagen. The railway fence acted as a backstop, anl although Mr. Corley knocked off a few boards iu liis wild flight ha did not KO through, and is recovering. The Mirror de«cril« the scene as follows : " The Iiorttes had just not across the track wheu the wagon was struck by the train in the centre. Mr. Curley, who wikS staudinz up at the time, waa thrown fruin the waifon and hurled with terrifio force against a fence, but fortunately escaped with no worse injuries to his pel sou than a slight cut on the bach, of the head, a acratch on the chin and a bruise on the hip. The wagon was torn away frum the horses, which galloped otf at a mad pace, taking s [Mrt uf the tongue wich them. One of tha. horses sustained aiievere flesh wound.' The wsgon was completely demotiabed with the exception uf one wheel, the tire be- ing twisted into all sha)Hts and the rack converted iul6 a mass of splinters." Farm and Mill Sit& lor Sale.
