REMARKABLE FEAT OF FRIGHTENED
HoRsE.-A North Brooklyn (Mass.) cor
respondent sends the Boston Journal the
following:
On Saturday, August i, in this village,
the horse of Mr.. Lyman Brewer, of Spen-
Ger, driven by his son, Oliver j. Brewer,
became frightened by having the wagon
manageable. Mr.. Brewer rose to his feet
and was thrown forward headlong, two
wheels passing over his body. Mr.. Luther
Green, of Spencer. who was with him,
finding that the kicking of the horse en-
dangered his life, jumped out Of the
back end Of the wagon. The horse, then,
at brow of hill rushed forward flu
riously, and, turning from the street
jumped into window of the mansion
of the late Daniel Gilbert, Esq. This win
dow was only two feet wide and four
feet two inches high, and the bottom Of the
window was three feet two inches from
the ground, and yet the horse Went
through the aperture without injuring it.
SELF This was the more remarkable as he
approached thewindow at an angle offorty-
five degrees, and there was partition
only fifteen inches from the window on
the side toward which his head was di-
rected as he passed through. Against this
partition, and near the window, was low,
old fashioned secretary, upon the top of
which the horse landed, from which he
came down upon the carpet. With one
Kick he took a leg out of a mahogany
table, and sent his foot through the ceiling
of the house. No part of the window
frame except the sill was taken out. One
part OF the wagon struck the house eight
feet from the ground and the horse re-
manned attached to the wagon by one
shaft and one trace. The pictures, photo
graphs, &C., upon the secretary were some
hot SlrIr ,et,,~ hv,ts al nn1y
standing upon the top was not thrown
down; it only had its front slightly
grazed. The horse, after being disconnect-
ed from the wreck of the wagon outside,
was carefully led out or the front door OF
the mansion.
The two daughters of Mr. Gilbert, the
only occupants OF the house until the
horse so suddenly became an inmate,
We're providentially in the second story,
and were only somewhat startled by the
crash when the new occupant so uncere-
moniously took possession of their sitting
room.
The young men in the wagon We're not
seriously injured.
The history of the growth of wool is very
curious. Fifty years ago not a pound of
nne wool was raised in the United States,
IN Great Britain, or in any other country,
except Spain. In the latter country the
f1ocks were owned exclusively by the no
biiity or crown. In 1894, small flock was
sent to the Eiector of Saxony, as present
from the King of Spain, whence the entire
product of Saxony wool, now of such inn
mense value. In 1909, during the second
invasion of Spain by the French, some of
the valuable crown fiocks were sold, to raise
money. The American consul at Lisbon,
Mr.. Jarvis, purchased fourteen hundred
head, and sent them to this country. A
portion of the pure. unmixed merino blood
at this time. Such was the origin of the
immense fiocks of fine wooded sheep in the
United States.

Cold FLOODED MURDER BY THE SANG.-
In conversation with Methodist minister,
member of the Ohio Conference, and u
resident of Jasper, Pike county, we learn
ed that when Morgan's band was within
four miles of Jasper, Pike county, Ohio,
they captured number Of citizens, among
them a school teacher by the name of Jo-
seph McDougal, aged AZ. The captured
men were marched on tho idouble-quiclS to
the village of Jasper, allowed a few mo-
ments rest, and then double-9uicked two
and a half miles to Piketon, and there
with other captured, formed into line for
parole.
Before the oath was administered, how
ever, Captain Mitchell, of one of Morgans
companies, ordered Mr.. McDougal to step
out of the ranks. After little parley, this
Mitchell ordered two soldiers to march Nc
Dougal to the Sciota river, a short distance
off. Here he was placed in canoe, facing
Mitchell and his two men, and at a slgnal
from Mitchell two shots were fred at the
prisoner, one ball taking effect just below
the right eye, the other in his lett breast,
near his heart. Death followed instantane-
ously. The wretches left their victim IN
the canoe. Prisoners who were WIN Mr.
McDougal represent him as a gentie put
brave hearted man, the flag OF nus country
being sacred to him above all earthly SYM
bols, He was a school teacher and most
exemplary member of the Methodist Epls-
copal Church. A wife and i've children
survive. !,
Ought not the proper authorities TO hunt
up Capt. Mitchell and put him on trial for
murder? The rope is merciful lnstru-
ment to SO cold blooded a villain. ID.
