Yesterday morning as Gen. Harris was driving
down Rnes' hill, in open buggy eompanied by
two daughters and Miss Pettengill, the white
tree broke, letting it on to the horses heels. The
animal commenced to kick and run down the hill,
but just before reaching the railroad track, the
General had the presence Of mind to rein him in
by the machine shop, and stopped the beast in his
mad career. The little girl and lady were of
course frightened, but the extent of the damages
were broken whfle tree and few flesh wounds
on the horse. That perfor nance could not well
be repeated with similur results.

there was not an ounce of food in the

have already been stricken with the eti-

have occurred.
At this moment there is an unprece-
