in the earth, apparently not subject to any acct

Harvesting horse into the track wagon, prepare
tory to driving to the store. When in the act OF
bridling the horse, the animal suddenly and most
violently seized Mr. Brooks by the right wrist, and
shook him about as though he were but child.
When the beast dropped his victim, Mr.. Brooks
wrist was found to be badly lacerated and bled
considerably. There were three gashes made by
the teeth of the horse, laying the bone completely
bare; one just above the thumb joint, two inches
in length, and another ugly wound farther up to-
wards the elbow. In the largest and worst wound
the bone could be plainly SEEM though fortunately
none of the cords were severed. Medical aid was
summoned and the wound carefully dressed. This
will lay Mr.. Brooks up from active service, for a
month, perhaps. The wound was quite painful

TURKEY AND ITS DEPHNDKNCIHs.-
The Phoebe Record veraciously states
as follows :
That some things can be done as
we'll as others, has been satisfactorily
demonstrated by turkey gobbler at
Capt. Gardens ranch. turkey COB
blers don't amount to much, and
though they strut around and look
pompous they are not Of any special
importance till Christmas time.
But this turkey gobbler has made
himself useful as we'll as ornamental
by occupying a nest, deserted by the
unnatural mother bird, and after
five weeks patient incubation sue
ceeded in his well-meant effort and
brought into life a brood of young
turks. On their appearance he
abandoned the nest as though in
proud consciousness of a fulfilled
mission and now goes forth in the
serene knowledgy that his life has
not been q failure. The little turks
are all doing very nicely, thank you,
and the Captain promises u that if
they grow and mature, the Record
will have turkey meat till you can't
rest when New Years comes round.
We have q wonderful memory for
things that way and shall expect to
see them, for turkeys Matched out by
the parent aforesaid ought to be big
enough by that time.

SCARCITY OF WATKR.-From all d.

SCARCITY OF WATKR.-From all di-
rections comes the cry Of more
water" from mill men. At Spring
Valley the mill is unable to run
steadily for want of water. In
Unionville only one mill is running
for the same reason. At Dun Glen
the Lang Syne mill is shut down
twelve out of twenty-four hours,
for want of water, and at Varyville
the water mill is running short
hours because of the scarcity Of
water. The Oldest inhabitant has no
of SO dry season as the
present. For months there has not
been rain enough to lay the dust,
and the streams are lower than
ever known at this season of the
year. The continual dry weather,
by preventing the mills in the
several mining camps from being
run steadily is adding dullness to
the dull times, and making money
exceedingly scarce in mining towns.

in load of wood from the hills yester-

colored lad Of about ten summers. The
team was stopped for water at the water
ing trough in front of the Rersilt Office,

drink. As most of our readers know,
the water flowing into this trough is both
bitter and brackish in taste. being unfit
for drinking by human beings. Mr.. Pa

where it discharges from the trough, and
got a mouthful Of the water before he
discovered that something was the matter
With it. and when he got good taste of
it he jumped around like chicken on a

howled. and finally broke out in long

vengefully into the water. He will prob
ably steer clear of that trough the next
time he comes to town.-Reueille, Oct. s.
