An Interesting incident Is related of Dan
Rice, the celebrated Circus performer. IN u
la.e number of he ReAdias Gazette. Il
appears that some fourteen years ago D2a Left
Reading with an exhibition Of some sort,
which turned out tal!y, and l.s.oled the prop
lie.or il d..iicaI.v Judge Hsiienreich. of
Berks coua-y, found HIM IN this condition,
gave him suit Of clothes, and lent him 4
horse and wagon, in order that he might
pursue his business. Dan was siAl uncac-
cesstul, anl destitution soon overlook LIm
again; while 70 AID 10 his distress. hls wife
was taken sick. In this dilemma he was
forced 10 sell the horse and wagon, which In.
Judge had loaned him. in order to raise means
:, take his wife home to Fittsburs Not
long af.er this lie CHAINED a si-uatian IN one
of the theatres Or this cily, wnere the Jud se
saw and recognized him. and in the morning
called Al his lodgings Dan was still poor and
seedv, aad fully expected reproacheS. if no
thing worse. from his old patfga. but instead
Of these the Judge insisted on his going the
second time to the tailors and being fitted at
his expense To this, however, Dan would
not consent, and they parted. never to meet
again, until one day last week, when his com
pany was performing at Headlh5, and the
Judre came 10 attend court. Dams first duty
was TO hunt his old friend and invite lin 10
take 4 short drive about town. to which he
consented, and horse and vehicle We're soon
at tile door.
Dan equipage, like that OF his profession

elegant make, a cream colored Arabian ponev.
ana a spicn and span new set of glistening
harness-worth, when you come to estimate
such things by dollars, some Si0o or $500.
The drive was taken and enjoyed, and time
flew swiftly by, the two friends talked and
lau yhed over the half forgotten events OF old
times Dan drove the Judge back to his
lodgings. stepped out upon TIE pavement, and
before the Judge had time to rise from seat,
handed him the reinS and whip, with a
graceful bow, and said: THESE yours.
Julse-the old horse aud wagon restored,
with interest-take them, with Dan Rice 5

dumb with amazement for few moments,
but soon recoyelnd his seltpo ssession and
began to remonstra.c. But Dan was lnexor-
able--hc closed lis lips firmly, shook his
head, waved polite adeu to his old friend in
tie carriage, walked Of TO his hotel, and left
the Judge to drive his handsome equpase,
now really his own, to the stable. An hon-
est man, and man Of honor, is Dan Rice, the
