The Peru Chronicle, an Illinois paper, gives
the following statement. The ferocity of the
horse is, by other newspapers, ascribed to
hydrophobia, though it is not apparent that the
animal was afflicted with that horrible disease:
"a few days since Mr.. Hannah, of our city,
observed his horse, fine animal, acting
strangely. He would lay hold Of everything
that came within his reach with his teeth, and
shake it savagely, much as rat TERROR worries
his victim. While the gentleman was watch
ing him the animal reached into pig pen that
stood adjacent 10 the lot where he was con-
fined, and laying hold Of a good sized six
months old pig, threw it up in the air. This
feat he repeated, and then setting his teeth in
the body of the pig, crushed it into the earth,
craving and mangling it frightfully The
horse then took second pig, and treated it in
q similar manner, and then u large two months
old calf, which he tossed into the air as lightly
as cat would mouse.
"The owner in the meantime had sent for
Charles Streuver, the popular farrier, but when
Mr.. Streuver arrived the horse was somewhat

enclosure and called the horse to him.. The
animal came up quietly, but as soon as he was
near enough caught Mr.. Hannah by the shout.

face downward, and then setting his teeth in
his back, crushed, gnawed and shook him,
while his eyes were CLASSY with rage. The i'm.

lnter.sting Bank Operation.

A bag OF gold coin, containing the very re-
spectacle sum of $1,000, disappeared suddenly,
or was transmitted into copper, in Boston, on
Friday last. II appears that in making their
exchanges some of the Boston banks are in the
habit of passing bags of gold to and from each
other without counting the contents, the bags
being received by their weight without always
ascertaining the contents of the same. The
circumstances of the case are a. follows. The
Merchants Bank paid the Granite Bank bag
supposed to contain S. 900 in gold the Granite
Bank paid the Market Bank the same bag; the
Market Bank paid the Exchange Bank the
same bag; the Exchange Bank discovered that
the bag weighed only $4,000 in gold, and on
opening it found that the money was copper
instead Of gold The bag was then returned
10 the Market Bank, who paid in exchange
bag Of gold, and sent the copper back to the
Granite Bank at 1t o'clock. The Granite re-
fused to receive the bag of "copper" saying 1--WE
paid you what we received from the Merchants,
and what we supposed was gold;' but the cop
per was left. notwithstanding, and now remains
in the Granite Bank. The Market Bank is in
possession of the bag Of cents, but where the
gold is that these cents purported to represent,
or how they came there, are questions not yet
solved.

1--WE learn that Fyler, who murdered his
wife some time since, near Syracuse, is playing
a sharp game upon the council who defended
him. 1t appears that the agreement between
them was, in case Fyler was saved from hang
ing, his counsel was to have $4,000. Of this
amount, 81 900 was paid in cash, and the re-
mainder secured by mortgage on his farm.
The counsel put in plea Of insanity, and
Fyler was sent to the Lunatic Asylum. The
mortgage is now due, and the holders, on pro-
posing to forecose it. that il the maker Of it
was insane when the murder was committed,
could he have been sane at the time of giving
the mortgage7 It looks as though the lawyers
were caught this time. .
