A FUNNY OCCURRENCE The Troy
Times of Thursday tells the following
funny story about the loss of looking
glass Day before yesterday, thrifty
citizen Of West Troy, DESTROYS to please
his better half and properly adon his
''palatial " residence, purchased twenty
i've dollar mirror, (which was cheap and
Just suited her." The purchaser corelu-
ded to carry the mirror home himself, and
not 10 trust its transmission thence to the
perils Of porter. With tired muscle and
pouring sweat, he arrived at the St. Charles
Hotel corner. The ferryboat was " on the
other side of Jordan" and the owner of the
precious mirror was thirsty-therefore the
mirror was stood up against the hotel
stoop, on the sidewalk, and a small boy
hidden to watch it, while its owner step
ped into the St. Charles bar to get ''suthin'
to cool hisseh with" At this unlucky
moment large billy goat, which enjoys
the freedom OF the city, and is familiar to
all the residents in that vicinity for his
famous " bucking powers, came leisurely
along the sidewalk. The small boy In
charge of the mirror fed on the double
quick, in serious apprehension of being
"bucked." The goat kept on his career
until he caught sight of another goat re-
Aected on the polished surface of the glass.
Then stepping back some dozen feet,
reared aloft his caudal appendage, gave
three or four preliminary shakes Of the
head, and rushed on his shadowy adver-
sary with power of buck " which, OF
all the creatures of the animal kingdom,
goats alone possess. The glass was shat
tered in spray Of fragments, and the goat
went through the back Of the mirror up
to his head and shoulders. Whether the
goat was more astonished at the utter
demolition of his opponent, or the owner
Of the mirror at his unexpected loss, is
one of the problems yet unsolved.
