THE EVENING NEWS.

t,cbed was standing in front Of saloon on
Main street. near the Eclipse Mill, when the
a;rner.whistle at the mill frightened the
horses, who started on full run down the
s,-aet creating a terror and CONSERVATION
AZ they went. Wewere Just ascending Mann
street, and saw the team dashing towards us
at most frightfully rate. When the team
reached little below the San FRANCISCO
Restaurant, the wagon struck the hind wneel
of a buggy, twisting it OF as easy as II II
were but pipe stem. MesSrs. 'esy anu
Barnes were seated in the buggy OUT escap;;
ed most miraculously, without PERSONAL
DAMAGE. After passing the buggy, the team
ran over a small French boy, belonging to the
Miners Hotel. The little fellow saw the
team coming, and was trying to get of the
way. bnt being bewildered, he kept running
in the street. Poor little fellow we saw him
crushed beneath the horses and the wagon,
but we we're too far from him to render as
sistance. When one of the horse ran upon
the boy, the horse fell, and within twenty
feet from the spot, the wagon upset, and both
horses fell into a heap. The poor boy was
picked up inSensible, blood streaming from
his mouth, ears, and nose, and carried to an
apothecary store, near by, where, after lit
tie while he revived and was then carried
home. If the poor child survives, it is more
than we anticipate.

Virginia, on Tuesday evening, November

ton was appointed committee to make
necessary arrangements for said meeting,
and to extend an invitation to the clergy of

ercises of the evening. 1t was also ordered
that an election of officers for the ensuing
year be held on the evening of said ami

member of said Society. The meeting will
doubtless be one Of great interest.
NATIONAL GrARDs.-We were present for
few moments at the drill of the National
Guards, at their armory last night. They are
making excellent proficiency in their drill un-
der their efficient drill officers. Capt. Melville
had Just divided the company into squads as
we entered, which were put through the ma
nruvers by Lieutenants Elliott and Thoman.
Officers and men acquitted themselves we'll,
considering that raw recruits are coming into
the ranks every evening, necessarily causing
some confusion.
"HAs IT STOPPED "-To-day as prairie
schooner was unloading in front of the Fast
Freight Office, on Taylor street, Virginia, the
teamster dropped huge cheese overheard,
about six inches of thin mud, and turning

motive, knocking over small boy and sew
eral pumps" on its way. The teamSter at
this iuncture inquired very honestly to know
" whether the id thing had stopped:
Philosophical cusS that.
