ANOTHER RUNAWAY. = Runaways are
rather frequent Of late. This time it was
a Chinaman on q mule. This unfortu-
nate Celestial was riding along in happy
serenity, thinking. no doubt. about the
charms Of some fair Acknowledged damsel,
or else the delights of an opium COM
PEELED reverie, when Nemesis, in the
shape Of big brindle dog, came rushing
out Of house inst above Boone l. Dol.
mans corral. The dog barked furious.
" at the mule-got scared Chinaman
ditto. The mule began to buck, and
the Chinaman bucked in company.
though much against his Mongolian will.
The mule kept bucking, and the dis.
Qusted Chinaman fell of, but now com.
mences the tale OF woe. While the
bucking process was going on, Mr.. Chi.
naman's queue by some accident had be-.
come unooiled from above his noble
brow and dangled loosely behind him
As he fell of, unkind fate or some other
man caused this ornamental appendaoe
to become entangled with the stirrnn
feathers or saddle. Anyway it held ths
native OF the middle kingdom fast. whils
away went the mule, dragging our tar.
tarien friend prone in the dust. Mr..

mule would 60, and down would 20 tbe
Chinaman. This process was repeated
two or three times, but on the lsst A.

splinter, was not handsome, but in spite
Of that. he took the mule BY the halter
and sadly led him back. No Zones
broken-much abrasion OF Monaghan
cuticle-much exacerbation Of Celestial
temper-comprised the list Of casualties.
Only that and nothing more.

both men. neither OF whom were severely
hurt.
NEARLY FIRE.-1t does seem that

able carelessness. Yesterday evening the
