A runaway horse attached to sleigh, one
ihll and the connecting crossbar of which
were broken, was making its way down Water
street, yesterday noon, at good rate of
speed, when Mr.. James Durey, who works
in Goodrich's blacksmith shop, ran and
jumped into the sleigh, in bold attempt to
grasp the reins and stop the horse. As he
went to seize the reins, the sleigh tippled,
partially precipitating him on to the horses
launches, but he recovered himself, leaped to
the ground with the agility of cat, caught
up the ribbons, and brought to the dashaway.
1t was a brave act, and was witnessed by a
'sheap" of people who had exhausted all the
usual methods of stopping runaway horse
by hooting and throwing up of hands and hats.

huest sense of the phrase, pubic enemies. Their
fiery potions iniiame the stomachs, stupefy the

wise enough to accept them substitutes for the
famous Vegetable Invigorant, that for twenty years
has been known throughout the Western Uem
sphere as standard article.
The fame OF llostetter'9 Bitters q health-pre
