| Singular Detention of a Railroad Train |
| A conductor on the {Louisville
&} Nashville Railroad informed us, a few days ago, that his
train was stopped by an emigration of army worms crossing the track.
They were over an inch thick on the track, and the wheels of the locomotive,
when it came upon their midst, whirled round and round, as if the
track was covered with ice, and would not move an inch forward. The
train was backed out and the track cleared of the worms with
shovels.--Louisville Courier, June 1st. |
