but that finally gave out. Men and
mules had been without water for two
days, so that when they arrived within
about two miles of Logan Springs, which
are about twelve miles from Hike, the
mules began to prick up their ears, for
they shifted water in the breeze. The
animals which before were going along
with dropping ears Strengthened them up,
and the whole body began to move for
ward at good pace, increasing it as the
smell Of water grew stronger, until the
whole band was in keen run. The
spring was reached, but the water had
to be dipped up in buckets, and it be-
came necessary to knock down q number
of mules with clubs in order to allow the
men to get to the spring. One mule
crazed with thirst got away with thirteen |
buckets of water, and had to be dubbed |
away in order to allow some other pos
SCISSOR of pair of long ears a chance.
He went off and took roll, came back J
and wanted more. The bucket held four
gallons, and he would get away with one
at gulp. A rat hole was no where when
compared to the way be made water dis
appear. II any one has a mule that
can beat this trot him out, and if it is
necessary to produce papers we can do it.
FAST DR1vrSG.-We suggest to the
guardians of the peace, for the quiet and
well being of our city, the propriety OF
putting stop to the practice of fast
driving on our principal streets in their
icy condition, otherwise 1t is to be feared
| we shall be under the painful necessity
of chroni"ling the injury or death of
some of our mothers, wives or children
by the carelessness of some of the
"bloods." Yesterday we witnessed
runaway on Main street, one OF John
ston's fancy cutters, drawn by "dspple
greys," and under the management of
one of the "boys" evidently not up in
the business of driving thoroughbreds.
He lost control of the equines and
allowed them to slip up Main street at
q pretty lively gait. The boys enjoyed
themselves but the sport was dangerous.
However, no harm was done, nobody
hurt and no limbs broken. but little
caution from US will not be amiss.
A SPLENDID SEAL.-The Secretary OF
the Phoebe Fire Department yesterday
received seal which is to be issued in
his official position as Secretary of the
Department in putting his stamp to any
official document. He says he is the orig
inator of the design for the seal, and we do
not doubt but what he ia, as the design is
unique and the designer can take al the
credit to himself as being the designer
of design that will hereafter be trans
mtted to his posterity as an emination
from their worthy progenitor. The Sec.
rotary desired us to state that the seal
can be seen by applying to him at any
time.
