 Runaway.-As David Jones and wifi were driving to this village from Mt. Rigs and when near MT. James Selleck's, las Tuesday forenoon, another horse, whic was loose in the road, and which they wer driving, ran into their buggy and capsize it, throwing them to the ground, an frightening their horse. which ran draggin the buggy after him. ''Therel" says Jones when he saw the animal ''peeling" it dow the hill. ''He's gone to 'Davy Jones' lock er.;' sure!" He came down Washinee St. and turned in between MT. Glens' store an, Cuttings tin shop. The feat of bringin the wagon through the streets at such rat of speed was admirably accomplished b, the animal, but in the act of turning int, the sheds between the stores, he failed t. exercise good judgment, and the wheels o the buggy became seriously mixed with th posts and railings, when he let go of it an, dashed into the sheds beyond. MT. O Mrs. Jones were not injured, but the bugg, was sadly demoralized. The horse, witt the buggy, is owned by James Spur o Mt. Riga. .....-- II s7
 HWhispers from the Spirit Land.'- MR. EDToR.-My attention was called by a friend to an article in your last issue un der the above caption, and as my name ii used in connection with what appears very ridiculous and utterly false, it seems prop CT that should notice the following points: -,
 1st-That to give publicity to that which is strictly personal and private is proof of moral imbecility.
 2nd-The retention of lost article when the owner is known by the finder, is proof of dishonesty.
 3rd-The assertion that the medium knew that Judge Moore had lost finger before she was entranced. when she knew nothing about it, is proof of falsehood.
 4th-The manifest aim to throw odium upon defenseless widow, against whom malice itself ought to have been satisfied years ago, is proof of unmitigated sian der.
 Thus, If the author of Whispers from the spirit land' has published himself as a thief, liar, a slanderer and fool, 1t is hoped that the charitable public will regard him as being in a fit of temporary halluci- nation, which his own sober second thought will in time eGectuaIly cure.
