Show All Around the ITouao. There is upon the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad. Just below Con-ewago, Con-ewago, the connecting station of the Lobanon railroad, a house standing near the broad steel belt, of which every side oan bo seen when the landscape land-scape slides by as tho train speeds over tho rails. This is an historic old man-siou man-siou of stone, wluoh has withstood the winds aid winters of a century. Just as the train funis the sharp curve below be-low Conowago station the eastern side of the mansion looms into view, and as the distance narrows the southern walls and windows seem to turn toward to-ward the eye. In anothor instant, as the curve still winds, tho western end takes the place of the southern, and while the iron horse speeds on in its rapid passage the train gives anothor turn and brings the northern side of the house Into plain view. This is regardod as a curiosity by railroad mon, and though few of the fciia mo west Know of this carious location, loca-tion, it is always interesting to hear the engineer talk tlirougb. the noise and rattle of tho train to his Q reman, telling him for tho thousandth time that "that 'ere crazy house Is looming up before."
