ANOTHER RUNAWAY - SERIOUS
Accidental team attached to a
wagon yesterday, driven by Jake
Bohn, while going out Third Street,
got scared at kite, and dashed off
at a rapid pace. Bohn was sitting on
a barrel Of molasses when the horses
started, and by its rolling forward, he
was pitched out in front of the wagon.
which was heavily loaded, and the
wheels passed over his breast. injur-
ing him very seriously. DR.. Ralston
was called to attend him. The ez-
ternal injuries are not very serious,
but the unfortunate man suffered Sc
we're internal congestion Of the chest,
and fears are entertained as to his re-
covery,
After Bohn fell out of the wagon,
the team continued on their course
until they reached the corner of
Third and Chestnut, where they ran
into a tree, knocking the barrel of
molasses out of the wagon, and burst
ing in the head of the same. The
golden syrup ran down the gutter in
a great stream. A box of pepper was
also bursted open and thrown into
the street.
Bohn was on his way to Boonville
with load of goods when the acct
Jo1F 0oo,,rrod buf VIC did not lnarn
to whom the goods belonged. At
seven o'clock last evening the injured
man was out of his mind, and three
physicians were attending on him.
He is at a boarding house on the
corner of Third and Locust Streets.
This makes five runaways this
week. and in every case some damage
has ensued, either to the drivers or
the wagons. At the present rate,
runaways will soon become epidemic.

STOLEN HORSE RECOVERED. =
About the time Of the railroad cele-
bration at Henderson, a man who
called himself by the euphoReous cog
nomen of Alphonso Hastings. car
penter by profession, who had been
living for a year past in Union County,
KY, borrowed a mare from George
Cotlingham, for whom he had con-
tracted to build a house, to come to
Henderson to purchase material
Cottingham had advanced some 5000
or $500 on the contract for the pur
chase of material. AlphOnso not
duly approaching the Importance
of the opening of the Evansville, Hen
derson & Nashville Railroad, con-
cluded not celebrate, and came direct
to this city, bringing the mare
and money with him. Immediately
after arriving here, he commenced
negotiations for the sale of the ami
NAL with which he had encountered
himself, and had at one time sue
ceeded in making bargain. but the
purchaser backed out before the
greenbacks were passed over to the
enterprising Alphonso. Failing to
sell, he concluded to ship, and on
last Saturday morning, a week ago.
we believe, shipped the mare for
Cincinnati on the Charmer, express
ing his purpose to go through by rail,
taking bill of lading in the name of
A. Jones. The Charmer arrived at
Cincinnati in due time, but so did
not Mr.. Jones; and there being no
eonsignee, the mare was sent to a
stable to board. In the meanwhile
Mr.. COttingham came to this city in
search of his mare and the treacher-
GUS Alphonzo, and the facts we
have narrated were soon unfolded

SEIZURE OF TOBACCo.-Yesterday,
as the crew of the Indiana broke
down a hogshead of tobacco, which
was standing on end preparatory to
rolling it on board the Indiana, one
head gave way and lot of trashy to-
bacco fell out, disclosing wooden boxes
within, which, upon examination,
proved to be twelve boxes of manu-
featured tobacco, packed in the hogs
head with lot of trash around it,
manifestly a cunning plan invented
to defraud the Government of the tax
The hogshead was directed to Grand
Gulf, Mississippi. aud had been
brought here by the Rapidan Mo- con
signed for reshipment to Grand Gulf,
to Humphrey, Patrick Il Co., Capt.
Neal promptly declined to take the
fraudulent shipment, aud Humphrey,
Patrick & Company having advised
the Assistant u. S. Collector, Will
Warren, Jr., of the facts in the, case,
that official concluded that as Captain
Neal would not take the tobacco he
would, and it now lies in the back
room of his Office, and will doubtless
be sold for taxes, which amount to
about $500, the tobacco weighing
about 900 pounds. 1t was a sharp
trick, but did not quite succeed.

up to he point of shipping on the
Charmer. He placed the matter
in the hands of Mr.. Tom. p. Britton,
and gave him $25 with which to carry
on telegraphic correspondence with
Cincinnati. The affair was conducted
judiciousIy and successfully, to some
extext, and yesterday the mare was
brought back to this city by the Char
mer, and will be returned to her
rightful owner. 1t is supposed that
Mr.. Alphonso Hastings, alias Jones,
did not embark for Cincinnati, but
had shipped the mare there to mislead,
while he, with the money, took
another direction.

made brief msntion yesterday that a
movement was on foot. headed by
Capt. j. i. Davy and NJ. d. CoviDg-
ton. late of the Lewellen, and others,
20 place a packet in Duck River, a
tributary of the Tennessee, to open
up direct trade between that portion
of Tennessee traversed by that
stream and this city. Duck River
traverses Hickman, Maury and other
counties, considered among the most
fertile audAwealthiest in the interior
of the State, and is naVigable for one
hunred and thirty miles from its
mouth.
The region traversed produces i'm
mense crops Of cotton, tobacco and
peanuts, also many fine cattle and
hogs. With a good packet in that
stream, connecting with the Evans
Vile and Tennessee River packets, a
vast amount Of his produce would
find its way to this market, and an
abundance of .dry goods, groceries,
boots and shoes, machinery, furni-
ture, &c, would be carried back in
exchange. The gentlemen above
named desire to enlist our mer-
chants in this enterprise, E.and ask
them to take only $1,000 stock in the
boat. We have no doubt the invest
ment would not only be a good one
directly, but would be indirectly
highly remunerative.in increasing the
trade of the city. Mr.. Covington,
now in the city. has presented the
matter to a few of our enterprisinG
citizens, and has reeeivediuniform en-
eouraeement, and we doubt not will
soon raise the required sum. Our
merchants should examine the matter
carefully, aud give it a liberal and
tangible encouragement.

FIRE-STABLEs BURNED.-A fire
broke out yesterday afternoon, in the
stable of Bernard Bonu, who lives on
Leet Street, between Third and
Fourth, and soon communicated to
three other stables, belonging to JOS
Reitz, Mr.. NARROW and Willard Car
penter. 1t is not known how the fire
originated. Engine number three
was taken to the fire by hand, the
horses not being at the stable in time.
Some trouble was also experienced in
getting up steam in No. 3. on account
of new CRATE bars having lately been
put in, and there was no draft. We
believe the Jackson Fire Company
have the credit of getting the first wa
ter on the fire. The loss is not very
heavy, and 5000 will probably cover
it. The newly appointed fremen
we're out in force, and worked liked
beavers.
