The following, from the Cincinnati Her

hensive local items that we have come
across for many u day
AS gentleman was passing along Fifth
street, he passed place where some boys
were playing marbles. Ono Of them, in
shooting his marble, clcycrly put it under
the gentlcman's foot The gentleman slip
ped, and stumbled against a lady, also pass
ing, prcciptatng her, along with himself,
upon large hog, who was examining the
gutter geoIogically for debris. The hog.
frightened out of bis proprcty, bolted OH.
and ran between the legs Of another gen
tleman. who in falling, drew the string Of
kite from the hands Of a boy. The Kite
Of course fell, and falling, frightened span
Of horses attached to a wagon in an alley
near by. The horses ran down the alley.
A man was buildi' & fire in carpenter
shop, by which they passed, he started up
to see what was the matter, and in doing so,
dropped his lighted match among the shaw
ings. A Are was the consequence. The
engines assembled, and, in the hurry conse-
oiient upon the alarm, man fell in the
track of one Of them, and bad his arm bro

for the day.
