Saved by His Wife. From the ("ape Ann Advertiser. Last Saturday afternoon a young man in this city who occasionally gets under the influence of intoxicants, told his wife that he intended visit ing the dentist and having some teeth extracted. Not returning at the time anticipated, fearing that he might have poured too large a quantity of spirits down to keep his spirits up during the trying ordeal of tooth pulling, she went in search of him, passing down the railroad track to the Blue Bridge. Here she saw, in the dim light, a man lying directly across the track. Not paying par ticular attention, and fearful of being molested if she troubled him, she walked 6n. ust then the whistle ot the train at West Gloucester was heard and, knowing that it the man was not instantly removed from his perilous positin he would certainly be killed, she overcome her fears of being molested and immediately went to the rescue. She was obliged to roll him over by main strength, and succeeded in getting him into the water course alongside the track, and had just time to get into a safe position herself when the tram went thundering by. Upon further exam ination of the?man, imagine her sur prise upen finding him to be herhus riandr Her.feelings at this disclos ure cannot be imagined as the thought cime into her mind how un wittingly she had come so near pass ing him by, and what a fate would have been his had she not, ; upon hearing the whistle, listened to the impression which its startling sound made upon hei hearing and turned back just ia time to pave lite. It was a trying ordeal, and, with our informant, we unite m the hope" that the lesson may result in making the man a staunch teetotaler during the remainder of his earthly pilgrim- TPKnE AND INSURANCE LOCATED IN THE -o Respecttully solicits all persons having real estate to sell, to call and leave description and price of property, where same will be advertised free of charge.
