tween one and two o'clock buggy con-
tanning two youug men was upset at
the corner of Fourth and Quincy
streets. The horse became frightened
and ran up Fourth, dragging the young
men who were entangled In the buggy

OF them were hurt, however, and soon
managed 10 extrIcats themselves from
their pefilous position. The horse con-
tiuued 10 run up Fourth, and the bug

Iy free, went Mt n furious pace up
Fourth TO Union, down Union to Mar

PossEssED or a DEvIL--In days
gone by, it was popularity believed that
Satan and his Representatives used to
delight in entering the bodies OF men
and women for the purpose Of melting
them to deeds OF peculiar wIckedness
or folly. The belief, however, has grad
uRlly died out, or, at any rate, exists
now in a highly localized form. But
we are incllDed TO think II will be neces-
snry to return TO tie ancient way of
thInking, II Outrages against nnoffend-
ing colored people continue TO be per-
peIrated. We have heard lately ofsev-
srnl, and think IL Is high tune our eff
flclent policemen were looking up the
offenders. Let them commence by fer
Teting out the wretch who threw brick
through the widow of the City Hall on
Friday evening last, while the coiored
festival was going on.
