RUNAwAY.-The fine buggy horse Of Mr.

Wednesday breaking the buggy to
which he was attached and cut
ting himself seriously in both hind
legs. No one was in the buggy at the time
of the accident, Mr.. IL. having left it in
charge OF a negro boy while he stepped in
to his residence.
LOST PURP.-We had b6b-tailed yell
low purp, but he is gone no one kuOweth
wither. II is thought that he has fallen a
victim to the sanguinary dog law, and we
want TO get proof sufficient on that point
to make out case against the city. We
intend bringing suit for damages, for ours
was most valuable purp, and our heart is
grieyed at his departure. We shall sue for
two hundred and fifty dollars at least,
which sum will about cover the value of
the purp, and our exceeding grief.
FoRwARNED.-The Brownsville States
kindly fOrwarns us in. its issue Of the 9th,
that in its next, it would "go for us" 1t
is further said that the Senior Editor of
that proiound0hoet has actually spent two
or three whole days IN Brownsville pre-
pairing said eXcoration. We have not heard
from Denmark for two days and hence can't
say exactly how true this is.
SPUNKY DARKEY.-A COlOrcd boy was
arrested on "Wednesday by officer Perkins
for some misdcmeanOr, and fined. Not
having the stamps whercwith TO pay, he
asked Perkins 10 90 with him to his broth
or, John West, who was porter for Smith
II JarnaSin, and he would pay the fine.
They found said brother, but he declined
to advance the funds. Perkins started OIL
with his prisoner, when John ordered his
brother not TO so. Upon this high words
passed between Perkins and the spuAky
John, resulting in 4 fight and ending in the
copious bleeding and arrest of the reckless
John.
SAMBo MAILING Recently enc Daniel
McCauly, colorod man Of Loundes coun-
ty, Miss, and an cx-mcmbCr Of the Legisla-
ture OF that State, was appointed mail agent
and assigned to duty on the Mobile Il Ohio
railroad. On his first trip, when he reach
ed this city, thinking no doubt that Jack
son was the grand distributing point for all
his mail, he dumped every bag in his car
upon our platform. 1t is also said that he
sends every trip to the dead letter office
more mail than he delivers. The people
write such bad hands that he cant read
them, and hence away goes the letters to
the dead letter office. As 4 mailist SambO
Is not an eminent success. However, he
can vote.
