MORE LARRIKINISM.
Two boys, named Boroman and Langley, tampered with the points on the railway line "be Milton goods shed on Saturday afternoon, and had not the driver of the baUast engine been keeping a sham lookout, it is probable that some serious accident would have occurred. These youngsters had been bathing, and on their return one of them held up a towel to screen his com{>anion, who altered the points. They then eft, but not before they were observed by the driver of the ballast engine, who stopped just in time to avoid running into the goods shed. The boys were afterwards taken in charge by Constable White, and when taken to the railway station confessed what they had done. Mr Conyers, who pasred through Milton soon after, directed that they should be sent to town next morning, and this was done. Mr Conyers, who had rather a lively time of it, eventually decided not to prosecute the boys or their parents, but administered a caution to both.— ‘ Bruce Herald.'
