MIDNIGHT HUNT IN THE JUNCTION TUNNEL.—On
Tuesday last, soon after midnight, one of the servants of
the Midland Company was proceeding up the tunnel,
towards the Manchester station, and when he bad got
some distance along the dark and dreary cavity, he was
alarmed by a loud barking and clattering of hoofs at the
upper end of the tunnel. He listened for a moment, and
finding that, whatever animals the noise came from were
gaining fast upon him, he wisely took to his heels, and
darted back towards the point he started from. Having
taken his position, out of harm's way, he waited but for
a brief space, while the clattering of hoofs and the bark-
ing were getting nearer and nearer. In another minute,
out bolted a jack-ass at the top of his speed, with a dog
yelping at his heels. Away they went, up the line
towards Attercliffe, the ass ever and anon flinging his
heels at the dog, and cocking up kis head, right and left,
to see the whereabouts of his pursuer. The men who
were on duty at the station now joined in the pursuit, t,
and at some distance up the line Mr. Neddy was brought
to bay, and duly captured. On further inquiry, it ap-
peared that the poor donkey bad strayed into the Shef-
field and Manchester station at midnight, and wandered
to the upper end of the tunnel. While there he was
beset by Mr. Grundy's dog, to escape whose fangs he
shot down the tunnel, and caused the alarm and confu-
sion above described.
