A STRANGE Mr.. John
II. Gunsolus, Of Cass township, related
to US the other day one Of the oldest
occurrences of which we have ever
heard, and which cost him two valua.
BILE horses. Itappears that two mares,
each with . colt about 8 months old,
were together In = pasture along one
fence Of which corn was fed to lot Of
hogs. One of the mares, one day not
long since, came up to where the hogs
were being fed and was reaching after
. mouthful, whom Mr.. q. spoke to her
rather quietly than otherwise, with
the Intention of starting her away.
She instantly threw up her head, and,
seeming to take uncomfortable fright
1t something, ran like the wind about
fifteen rods to where her mate was
feeding, and came full against her,
striking her just forward of the hip,
knocking her down and falling over
her. Neither animal was ever able to
get up; one lived four and the other
seven hours.
Coop FoRTUNE.-We are glad to
chronicle the famous good fortune

We spoke of and described before he

which he had invented, and since his
residence in Missouri ne remarked the
fact that he had obtained q patent on
the same.
We now hear from him, by q letter
received last Saturday by Hon. w.
H. Tuthill, that he, (Hammond) is
offered SIC. 900 for the right In fourteen
specified States-all Of them Southern.
How Ii that for high-stovepipe? Mr..
Hammond informs Judge T. that his,
the Judges, advice has been taken
and this 10 the result-one with which
|" Emporium" is evidently, and prop
Ierly. highly delighted.
