A FULL SToP.-A load of bark drawn by a
small and very balky horse came to full stop
on Market street yesterday afternoon. At last,
after much coaxing rope was put around the
neck of said animal and fastened to team
which was ahead. This plan also failed to
work, as it threw the horse down. At last a
man produced a small cord and attached it to
the lower jaw of the horse. and stepping ahead
pulled. This was apparently what the horse
was waiting for, and he went with vengeance.
As usual on such occasions, large and efficient
sidewalk committee was present to witness the
exercises. IT,
