Rowland Springs.

On Saturday afternoon, a small company of
invited guests, among them a smart shrinking
of the legal and editorial fraternity, and their
better halves. (those who had them) visited the
Springs. The legal lights were R. J. Powers
Esq and lady of Youngstown. and r. W. Rat
lift Esq and lady, of this place. The editorial
corps consisted OF J. Dumars, of the Youn gstown
Register. and lady; VIM, Ritezel of the Demo-
erat, and lady a lady and zee. Jenkins asks
if the ladies were legal lights and belonged to
the corps Enthusiastically The PARTY arrived
between 4 and ., O'Clock, r. Il and after roam
ing about the g~rounds.-which never were more
beautiful than this season looking in at the
bath rooms. rolling ten pins, an taking a swing
for Q couple of hours, adjourned to dinner. To
those who have tested the culinary skill of Mrs.
Hank. it is needless to say the dinner was ex-
eellent After the SQUIRREL pie. chickens, DC +,
had become materially diminished, and an
hours ehat,-the guests, two by two. departed.
The last to go were Mr.. Ritezell, and o~urself; his
horse becoming frightened while descending the
: bill, bolted and run into the fence, piIing the
buggy over. or through the fence, leaving Mr.
r., and lady, or the ground. broke loose from
the buggy, stripped of half his harness, and ran
down the hill. We. who were in advance.
hearing the gathering hoofs, left our horse,
(Which made known his inclination to Join
the Amusement by taking unreasonably high
steps with his fore feet.) in charge Of a lady
who held him, coolly. while we caught the run
away. and returned toward the Springs. The
only question asked BY the party which We soon
met. csming for the horse. was that Of a guest
from kentucky. who inquired if the nag was
making good time when be was caught.
Finding that nobody was hurt, and that a
convey anee was furnished for Mr.. r and lady.
by our accommodating host, We went home, full
ly satisfied that Rowland Springs is an ~institu-
zion. and that Mr.. and Mrs Hank are tumps.
Equally we'll settled is brother Ritzell. in the
opinion that the steep stony Hill there, is an IN
comfortable track for racing.
LATR-The cause of the runaway, when
fully developed. was decidedly rich. Mr.. Du-
mars had driven from Youngstown in an open
buggy, a large bob tailed bay horse which in-
variably runs away when hitched to a top bug
gy. Mr.. Ritzell had driven out in a top buggy,
a mall long tailed brown FLY, which has no
such little failings. The horses were changed,
by mistake. at the Springs, and Dumars drove
Ritezell's lazy horse to youngstown, watching
him closely. holding him hard. to prevent his
running. while R had the large vielOu. horse
hitched to his top buggy. and neither of them
discovered their mistake, until the Youngstown
nag was brought to Warren, and the Warren
horse to Youngstown.
When Mr.. r.. arrived in town, leading the
DAY, he made for Fulk's Livery Stable. and greet
ed the proprietor, thus ; Here's your internal
horse, and the pieces of your harness; what
did you give me a runaway horse for, when you
knew ! was not q good driver. soaring my wife
TO death, besides breaking my neck you're a
man" Here he stopped to take breath.
when Mr.. F.. coolly asked. had you any whiskey
out there 2" No. said Ritzell, or if there was, l
did not see any. Well, said Fulk, you must
have been drunk, for that is not my horse ;
never saw it, before ; you took away q mall !
6lly. and have brought back q large bob tailed
horse you're q nice man you've stolen some
horse. the constable will be after you be
morning. and ! want you to pay for my
horse. that you've lost. Poor R~itezell's jaw drop
ped, and he slowly backed out into the street.
muttering to himself, mot his horse, not his
horse ; it beats all"
We regret that such a thing should happen to
