Ranaways.-On Frieay morning last, Mr..
George Giles left young horse, attached
10 mill wagon, standing unhitched, while
he went into house to attend to some
business. The horse frightened at some
thin. and started down the street at full
speed. farming the corner of the Howard
House safely, he soon ran into two-horse
wagon, which brought up the animal and
vehicle to a sudden stand This uneN-
pected collision frightened the two-horse
team, which started on the run, and two
other teams becoming frightened by the
racket, started also. Some of the horses
broke loose and were slightly injured, two
of the wagons We're smashed, and one old
lady lost her horse for awhile in the melee.
and straightway laid claim to Giles horse.
Mr.. Giles finally succeeded in retaining pos
session of his horse, by convincing the lady
that his horse had but one eye, hers being
in possession of both those valued organs.
After some search. however, the missing
animal was found some distance from the
scene Of difficulty, where it had run in the
fright. Ne person was hurt, and the warn
ing will soon be forgotten that it is danger
Gus to leave horses standing unhitched in
the street.

" AsHINGTON CITY,
April IL, 1870. {

Mn. EDIToR:-A writer mailing from
this city, over the signature Of A locker on
in Venice, in last Saturdays Democrat,
charges the Hon. p NJ G. with favoritism
to Marylanders in the selection Of clerks
on the II. p. Office line between this city
and New York. To show how unfounded
these charges are it is only necessary to
state that among all the head clerks on the
above line there is but one appointment
from Maryland, while Pennsylvania has
four, the District of Columbia two. and
Delaware one.
He also says that competent clerks have
been removed and their place filed with
these who were incompetent to take their
places. AS we happen to know the cause
Of these removals we beg leave to state
that, with perhaps one exception, there has
not been man discharged but what has
been removed more on account of incompe-
tency. neglect of duty or drunkenness,
than ca account of his political affinities.-
And here permit me to say for the benefit
of "Looker on that 4 more competent
set Of Postal Clerks cannot be found than
those at present on the above line The
business community are under great OBJ
legations TO the Hon. p. NJ. G. for the re-
forms he has introduced into this branch
IF the Postal Service, and the great care he
has taken to select competent Special
Agents and r. p Office Clerks.
1t is amusing, Mr.. Editor, to witness the
efforts of some Of these scribblers, in their
futile attempts to cast reproach upon Mr..
Creswell. They remind me of Il puppy
log. owned by a gentleman in Maryland,
who, whenever he would get 4 glimpse Of
the moon, would set up a terrible howl;
yet with all its growing the moon shown
rs brightly as ever.
These yelpins ours of Tie Democrat
might, if they would reflect a moment,
learn lessen from the above, that in flu
ture would be beneficial to them
