ANOTHER PROBABLE CASE OF EPIzoorIc.
1t was generally conceded during the
prevalence of the equine malady that |
acquired the above name, that its causes
and results were wrapt in mystery; nor
could all the veterinary surgeons in
America give a satisfactory diagnosis Of
the disease. An additional instance of
the singular manner in which it some-
times manifests itself was exhibited yes
terday in the case Of mule that evil
IDENTIFY has the epizootic. That mule had
passed several peaceful years in one Of
the big teams that daily carry rich ores
to the mills, and had become endeared to
the driver and the other mules by his
gentle and quiet habits-never biting or
kicking more than one mule at a time;
but yesterday, either because it really
had the epizooty, or because its heart
was broken by the sound of the whistle of
the railroad engine, announcing that 'mu-
ley's occupations gone" that mule was
taken sick, and forsaking its companions
in tribulation it sought refuge in the
classic shades of a blacksmith shop.
Elected thence by heartless men, the fee
BILE animal faltered forth and took refuge
in that portion of Miss Nellie Cashman's
mansion sacred to the culinary art.
Here it stretched out its weary limbs
and sought repose. Stretched in peace
full slumbers it lay till aroused by the
brutality of an ignorant Monaghan, who,
not being acquainted with symptoms of
epizooty, tackled it with frying pan.
We graduated on the rodeo grounds of
California--we have seen 1900 below
ing bullocks in one herd, as the vaqueros
charged furiously among them; we had,
we thought, witnessed every possible
mode and manner in which mule or q
mustang could display its meanness, but
from the description of an eyewitness,
we should judge the cavortings of our
Phoebe mule in Nellie eastman S Kitchen
about the time that frying-pan touched
it, went a little ahead of anything in that
line yet. Uttering terrific bray, it
placed its hind feet carefully against the
unfortunate Chinaman's hinder parts,
and he disappeared through an adjacent
window. The stove followed suit, and if
there was any crockery or glassware
| left unbroken it is yet unknown. Hav-
ing demolished about three times its
value, it executed a mastery retreat
through the dining-room, to the conster-
nation of the landlady, and disappeared.
Let reward be offered for that mule.
1t should be kept to breed from.
IT Amt Coon FOR BoYs.-The public
school in Phoebe numbers among its
pupils very bright boy, who is always
ready with an answer. He is also in
quisitive in the highest degree. On III,
way home from school the other day the
crowd at the corner of Main and Lacoul
streets attracted his attention. He wal
bound to find out what was up. Elbow
ing mis- way through the crowd he behelt
a galvanic battery, and a stalwart maj
writhing under its influence. He wal
bound to learn how it was himself
Grasping the handles, he received ter
rible charge, one which almost bent hin
double, yet he stood unmoved as stole
; Finally the force of the battery was turned
off and Tommy released from his tryin,
position. Soon after he was seen sittinI
!; on the steps in front of store on lowe
; Main street, vigorously rubbing first on
/; arm and then the other. The principa
!; of the school, who, unknown to Tommy
had witnessed his contortions under tn
operation of the Terry, proposed t
Tommy that they % up town and IT,
the galvanic battery. Tommy's wit wa
sufficient for the occasion, and lie simpl
answered, 1T amt good for boys!
