Romantic Railroad Adventure

Two young ladies in great peril on a high railroad bridge; sudden approach of the iron snorter; young ladies nearly dead with fright; remarkable forethought of the engineer and heroic rescue from death, last Sunday furnished the skeleton for a stage play of the "Limited Mail" order. The "maidens fair and mild" had the ternerity to attempt walking the high Toledo bridge over the Huron. When they were half way across, a train from the north let loóse a shriek that made the knot of back hair stand on top of their heads. After a moment's hesitation the young women parted, one running back towards the south and the other towards the train. The engineer of the freight train, with great presence of mind, gave a low whistle, and checking lis engine, stepped off, bowing with the Jpoliteness of a born courtier and assisted the tottering feet of the distressed maiden past the train. He appears to have had some knowedge of the nervous sensibilities of adíes, and it is most probable that his mother was one of "the gentier sex." Had the usual mad shriek of warning been given, a scream, a fall, a splash in the river, and the last sad rites to a young lady drowned, might have followed as matter for newspaper record. This account of a romantic adventure and heroic rescue, is not printed to encourage other young ladies to an experience, but as a matter of news.
