 -Washinee street was the scene of ludcrous mishap few days since. A dog-fancier, from whence he came and whither he was going deponen saith not, finding times hard and people lit tie disposed to invest their hard cash in hi: stock in trade, having procured a horse and wagon had sallied out from his ware house with choice lot ot purps of all sizes shapes and colors, with the determination of offering them at such unprecedently low figures that they would go off like wil( fire. With bright visions of golden har vests to be reaped he wended his way into Wasninee street. He stopped there ht left that horse in the street without hitch ing that horse was wonderfully deceit ful animal; he looked very meek out O. his only eye, but it was all for purpose his master went out of sight he was sud denly inspired with the thought that it wa beneath his dignity to draw those purps and he was seized with an impulsive deter imitation to spill lem; he acted upon tha impulse at once: he waltzed and pelkaet that wagon down the street with astonish. ing skill until every purp lay sprawling il the drt, and sending forth such disma howls of injured innocence that the ai was rent with a chorus of canine melod. that it is rarely the lot of mortal man tt hear. He stopped then, gazed upon hi work with mock solemnity, winked tha eye continuously, and relapsed into posi- ton of obstinate serenity the injury t bis dignity had been atoned for. He wa the most perfectly satisfied horse that eve champcd bit.
