a Funny Occurrence.

The Troy Times tells the following
funny story about the loss Of q looking
glass .....-
Day before yesterday, thrifty citizen
of West Troy, desirous to please his bet
ter. half and properly adorn his "palatial
residence, purchased twenty Eve dollar
mirror, (which was cheap. aud just suited
her." The purchaser concluded to carry
the mirror home himself, ana not trust
its transmission thence to the perils of a
porter With tired muscle and pouring
sweat, he arrived on the St. Charles lie
tel corner The ferry boat was On
"t'other side of Jordan" and the owner
of the precious mirror was thirsty
therefore the mirror was stood up agaio>
the hotel stoop on the sidewalk, and q
small boy was bidden to watch it, while
the owner stepped into the St Charles
bar to get ''suthiu to cool himself 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 "buckir &
power, cuule leisureIy along the sidewalk.
The small boy in charge of the mirror
fed on double quick, in serious appre
hension of being "bucked' The goat
kept on his career until he caught sight
of another goat reflected in the polished
surface of the glass. Then he stepped
back some dozen feet, reached aloft his
caudal appendage, gave three or fur
preliminary shakes of the head, and rush
ed on his shadowy adversary with the
power of buck which of all the crea-
lures in the animal kingdom goats alone
possess. The glass was shattered iu
spray of fragments, aud the goat went
through the back of the mirror up to bis
head and shoulders. Whether the goat
was more astonished at the utter demoli
tion of his opponent. or the owner of the
mirror at his unexpected loss is one of
the problems not yet solved
