here observing our movements. The soldiers
are splendid fellows, but the officers want
drilling and should be put under instructions
Immediately. 1 notice that these English Of

RUNAWAY AND SMAsH-UP. - Monday
morning team belonging to VIM. F. Mead
er, of this county, took fright while standing
near Dunsmore & Chambers lumber office,
and started up Oak Street towards the Gas
Works, at a $40 speed, running against
and over piles of lumber, smashing and
throwing fragments Of the wagon around
promiscuously. They ran without regard to
curves or angles with a part of the broken
shaft, and the two remaining wheels, until
they brought up against a loaded wagon
near the corner of Chestnut and Third St,
when they turnel somersault through the
harness and came to dead lay still. The
horses were severely cut in several places
by the broken shaft, and the only wonder is
that they were not killed. Mr.. Meader was
considerably, though not seriously, injured,
in attempting to stop them; the horses and
wagon running over him.
