A PIG On THE RAMPAGE. lively porke
escaped from the steamboat Gov. Allen yes
terday, and such fun as poor piggy afforde
has not been witnessed in long time. Pigg
did not stand on the order of his going. bu
event " away from his temporary imprison
ment as fast as four little feet could carr
him. About ten cabmen and four policemen
were after the pig-shout.ng, hallooing an
wildly throwing up their arms to stop him
But the animal kept on through the mud an,
mlre OF the levee, determined to be stayed b,
naught, not even by the golden buttons of tn,
| peelers.
Everything that is truly good has an end,
so with the short congo of piggy. He was at
last completely surrounded by the Cables,
and then he stopped suddenly to take sur
| vey OF the situation. This temporary halt
| was taken advantage of by valorous cabman,
who approached the porker and made grab
for the off leg. He succeeded in getting a
good hold, but the pig was equal to the emer-
gency-he made a sudden bolt, and cabby
went over into the mud fiat on his back, while
the pig once more went tilt for liberty and
freedom But his career was again cut short:
this time by a policeman of the Harbor Pre-
clnct, who gently took him in tow and tied
him by the leg to stanchion, till the owner
would arrive to claim him.
