   Off the Track. - A wood train was backing down the track on the Branch, on Thursday afternoon last, and when about two miles above Beaver Meadow, it ran over a cow, which doubled the train up, throwing twelve cars loaded with wood down the embankment. No one was seriously injured, but the cow was demolished, a number of cars badly broken, and travel suspended upon the road for several hours.
