suffered by the Corporation at large in that
spectacle neghborhood against the foreegs of Mr..

Prince street Mr. Price informs us that the
critical moment OF his e-he expected every moment
that his wife and himself would be dashed the pave

sons different parts OF the body The horse be
dsengaged from the vehicle and along Prince
street to the North river The horse, who was
a very fine animal was also injured severely.
Mr. Price says that on no consideration whatever
would he pass through such moment again. And all
this caused by miserable pig running at large in
of the most respectable streets in the city There
is, we believe, an act of corporation which requires
public officers to keep the streets clear of these anmals
and citizens, taking for granted that this law will
be enforced venture abroad with their wives and fam
lies. But if such animals are allowed to about the
streets body is safe in vehicle In this case Mr.
Price, most worthy and respected citizen and his wife
almost miraculously saved from an awful death
which would have been caused by this porker
Let the Corporation enforce their laws in these matters
and protect the lives OF the citizens who pay them fat
salaries for so doing.
