Farnham. Of the Gold Hill Bank Ex-
change. and Col. Jack Hayes. of the
well-known firm of Gle, Hayes & Co.,
San Francisco, were on their return
from Lake Tahoe In n buggy propelled
by two horses. They were coming
down the Clear Creek Grade, about
seven or eight miles from Carson,
when one OF their horses happening to
stumble, the neck yoke broke short of.
leaving the pole loose aud allowing
the buggy TO M upon the horses heels.
They commenced kicking and were
directly perfectly unmanageable. In
dashins around a turn of the road one
wheel broke down, the buggy was
wrecked, and both men thrown vio-
lently out, while the horses went over
the grade. aud down the steep hill
side till one Of them fell in such q po-
sition that he could not get up again.
therefore, the other being attached
could not leave him. Farnham was
thrown. head first. about 90 feet, driv-
ing through the thickest part Of n big
manZanita bush like q juvenile rocket.
His head and face suffered eonsidera-
bly,, nearly tearing out his right eye.
aud barking up his forehead, cheek
and veneratrd bugle quite extensively.
The bush was totally destroyed. Jack
Hays was considerably hurt about the
shoulders and hip, but not permanent
~ damaged. AS oon as they could
collect their shattered senses, they
went down the hill and. helped the
horses out of their predicament. They
led them about II mile down to a house
where they got conveyance to Carson,
and came home to Gold Hill by the
cars. Fsrnham is jolly over his mis-
hap, aud reminds us Of the old legend
of:
There was \ man In our town,
And he was wondrous wise;
He jumped through a manzanlta bush,
And scratched out one ofhis eyes
a YouSo WoRxEn.-Yes;erday we
noticed a small boy, apparently about
five years of age, packing down Main
street u couple OF pieces Of plank,
whose united weight equaled or en-
ceeded that OF his own diminuttve
body. We infer that he had been sent
ont by his mother to gather some fuel
required in the preparation of the ma
tu,inal meal. We noticed that the
features of the little fellow, rs he
toiled along the street with a heavy
plank under each arm. wore an ago-
nized expression, rs Ii lila burden was
greater than lie could bear. Having "A
natural weakness for children. our
first impulse was to snatch the tlm6ers
from the little fellows arms and carry
them to their destination. We trust
that this. young Hercules, who. at 40
early u period in life was striving to
make himself useful, was rewarded by
his mother with an encouraging Kiss
or embrace on his arrival at The pa
rental abode.
