Sunday last, instead of being day of
rest, was day of excitement. While Mr.
II. 5. Magraw was in church, his horse
managed to rub off his bride at the place
he was hitched, and proceeded to go home
through the town at Il rate OF speed rather
damaging to the buggy. He was finally
secured after running a considerable dis
lance and brought back without any dam
age to himself, but considerably heated.
MAD DOG.
In the afternoon the cry of mad dog was
raised in the lower part of the town, and
clubs, guns and pistols were brought into
requstion. Men drew their coats as if
preparing for desperate struggle, and ran
to and fro anxiously seeking for foe.
The excitement at first was confined prin-
cipally to the coored people, among whom
the dog started, but extended to all classes
headed people. The dog, a small one, hav-
ing shown some canine ferocity by resent
ing the abuse of its owner and other per
sons with snarl and bite, was pronounce
mad by the popuace, but not by its owner.
After having been stoned, dubbed and shot
at through lumber piles and about the
wharves it took to the hills, emerging from
them about the square and sped homewardS
pursued by a large crowd, until its owner
appeared upon the scene and carried him
home triumphantly in his arms, very much
blown but not hurt. However, the owner
considering it Incompatible with his inter-
est as a green grocer to keep about his store
an animal with such reputation for feroc
ity or madness, concluded to subject it to
an incarceration, which would determine it's
madness and preserve for him its watchful-
ness at night, for one must ever be on their
guard.
LAST WEEK A STONE
was hurled by blast from Messrs. McClen-
ahan's quarry so high in the air and in such
a direction that it fell in Mr.. Malone's
quarry: but fortunately he saw it and called
out to the men, who just got out of the
way in time. 1t cut sledge handle off,
and bouncing, struck Mr.. Malone's son on
the shoulder, stunning him very much.

WE HAVE HAD
frequent rains and the clouds still hover
around. Our farmers are happy now. The
foliage has been much advanced, and ours
and the Hartford hills have been clothed
with a thicker and greener yerdure, which
adds much beauty to our view.
