A drama of the tragical-comical
order has just been enacted in In-
diannpo!is. 1t appears that one OF
the local papers made mention of
the fact that Mr.. Ii. $. Vance, an ac-
tor at the Academy of Music in that
place, and known in the locality as
the Apollo Belvidcre, WAS recently
walking III the street, when he acci-
dcntaliy stepped upon the tail of a
terrier. The terrier quickly fastened
his teeth i'll the calf of Apollo's leg,
and began shaking it as if it was /,
rat. Finally the actors attention
was called TO the fact by Il gen entleman,
who. said: "Thc dog is biting you.''
Apollo looked down aid responded.
why, SO he Isl" and tlen switched
him off with his cane. No biou,!
flowed from the bite, but as he passed
on up the street 4 thin stream ofsaw-
dust flowed out from the mangletl
rolundy of the leg, and left q trail on
the pavement.
