New Durham on Sunday evening, accosted on the
road by sprighty looking about thirty years Of
age well dressed and Of culture who declared he
was fatgued and sadly in need of a ride. The driver
repelled him nrs but the stranger renewed his app
cation with such honeyed words that Mr.. Fouh took
him up The conduct Of the lunatic who accompanied
Hood in the balloon was gentle compared with that of
this stranger He began by twisting his face
into a variety Of convolutions; then his eyes glared
as If with rage or torture; he stared menacingly
at the driver, and made powerful effort TO snatch the
reins Mr. Fouh affected not to notice this much,
and drew up the horse. He coaxed his dangerous COM
panion to alight and adjust the bit in the animals
mouth. The lunatic jumped out and then Fouh
piled his whip with fury The horse flew away and the
driver blessing his stars, but, looking behind
him, to his horror he man clingng to the
vehicle and leaning him. with huge knife flashing
in his hand. Fouh seized his whip and dealt him a
heavy blow on the head telling him the road. The
horse still rushed on, and the mailman and fol-
