ran with the fore wheels mp the street,
bringing up on the porch of he Cos
mopolitan Hotel, when one of them
fell, bringing the entire outfit to a sud-
den stop. None of the horses were in
jured, and the stage was but slightly
damaged.

airy testimonial rendered by a large
number of our citizens TO the above

repay a visit to the theater. The cor
respondence relative To the affair will
be found in another colum.

with the grim specter at the Willows
Race Course. He had taken of the
cylinder of his six. shooter for tho pur-
lose of loading the barrels, and was
driving down n ball, when the charge
exploded. The bullet went through
the tall of his left thumb and passed
through the rim of his hat, close by
the band, not missing his head the six
teenth part of an inch.

at dark, there were II inmates of the
County Jail, exclusive of sam Bell ant
