KIIiTTKRI4TE ILAGNA.

Arcinavr. -On Friday morning, as some men employed
on Lord Digby'r estate were engaged in loading • waggon
In n field at Alinterne, the horse took fright and started
elf at • atop through the field, leaping the gate leading
into the turnpike road with apparent caw, and after
dragging the waggon for a few seconda succeeded in break-
ing down the gate, after which the animal proceeded in
the direction of (erne, followed at Rome distance by the
labourers in pursuit. The horsecontinued to gallop with
unabated Rpeed, laming the Glove Inn, and dashing past
the tollgate at a pace which caused the old woman in
charge to beat a precipitate retreat without waiting to
receive her usual toll. The two miles gallop had
fortunately exhausted the animal by the time it reached
Cerne, and a blacksmith succeeded, without much
difficulty, in arresting its further program. The streets of
the town presented a very animated appearance eu the
runaway home was captured, • large crowd of both sexes
and all ages having assembled to witness the unwonted
spectacle. The horse was not injured, and the waggon
was only slightly damaged.

the sinner. Oh, what shame has come over those who go
willingly to the bondstAte of the confessional ! A negro
under the lash in the West Indies was not such an abject
misessble slave, us sinner bowing to a priest and making
