cB- Last Tuesday afternoon, quite sensa-
ton was created by runaway horse. 1t APP
pears that gentleman from the rural dis
tricts attempted to carry, whilst riding on
horseback, what appeared to be two long rods

drop the rods, Before the horse could be con-
trolleds he passed UP Union street, past the
corner of Coryell, at such speed that his tail,
a cloud of dust, a lot of .snall barking dogs,
and crowds of spectators were about all that
could he seen Of the affair Ina few moments
the horse was brought under control and re-
turned to the place when tile obnoxious bur

SINGULAR.-The workmen in the tunnel at
Bloomsbury struck large vein of water last
week. The water rushed out in stream as
large as mans body, drove the men from
their work, and filled up a large part of the
tunnel Work was delayed for several days,
and engines and pumps had to be procured to
to get the water out. The water is thought
to have come from a subtcrraneous lake.
Since writing the above we learn that the
water has been got under control SO that the

on the 18th nearly all of the Bloomsbury end

s.
Mr.. EDITOR lit was the pleasant lot of a
number Of our Public School Teachers to
visit the Canning Establishment of Mr.. J. III.
Butterfoss on Friday evening last, that we
might become slightly initiated into the mys-
tcries of canning. Persons passing casually
the "Old Foundry would scarcely think
that so great work lies hidden beneath its
coarse exterior--a 'sreal diamond In the
rough" it is. In one apartment we were
shown the long strips Of tin prepared for the
mould; in another the application of the
mould at still another place we viewed the
curious machine used in cutting and fasli-
Joining the can-bottom then the soldering pro-
cess from which the entire can arose ready
for service. Sa 8l
Higher and still higher we beheld the com
pletion of thousands of cans of different ca
pacities, making us almost doubt the supplies
of fruit would be sufficient to fill all. Mr.. b.
Informed us that this work had been in pro-
gress since January. Our city has need to be
proud of such an establishment, and other
cities have testified to the superior quality of
the fruit issuing from it. We speak of what
we know, and testify of what we have eaten,
for the gentlemanly and smiling proprietor
made each of us (atparting) a present Of can
of superb peaches or plums, as the choices
varied.

may he often become the recipient of priced

THE KINewooD WHIPPING.-We are in
formed that Mr.. Heath, who was recently the
recipient of the lash at the hands of Miss
King, in Kingwood township, denies in toto
the charge Of having circulated scandalous
stories against the young lady, and AYERS that
he can prove his innocence. If he can do
this, he has been grievously wronged. We
are also informed that he intends to commence
an action against the parties concerned. 81

day or two since, but it is probable that ! i,

We are glad to see that the temperance
cause is being pushed SO vigorously by our
Catholic fellow-citizens in other parts of our
State. From what we hear, great progress is
being made in stopping the favages of. rhm.
we have failed % Fear, however, of any spe-
cial effort in this respect in our city. We re-
member seeing last summer Church parade
in this city in which temperance society BAN
ner was carried, but there were but very few
who marched under it. We did not see our
friends Burnett, Lucas Malone and Hester in
the group. Will they not (as they All claim
to be friends of temperance, and have SO ear
nestly endeavored to further it by voting for
license) now, take. hold of this temperance
movement which is being pressed by their
friends in other places, and give us some
tangible evidence of their sincerity? We feel
sure that If these genhernen Ienter into this
project as heartily as they do into some other
things, that it will prove grand success. We
suggest that the leading member of Council
from the Third Ward, Mr. Malone take the
initiative in this matter and call meeting to
organize such a society. He can put us down
for donation Of printing for the society to
the amount of $40 or $15. ca : 4e-tt
