family on Cherry street. He has had
the rum of the yard, poked his nose in
to the house, and been very successful
In lodging clubs and brick-bats. Yes
terday forenoon, when the said goat
had finished eating up q good share of
the weeks washing, the man of the
house was heard to remark:
81 will now go into committee of the
whole and fix that beast so that he will
never bother white man again ~
He ran to the grocery, purchased an
old pack OF firecrackers, and at the end
OF ten minutes "William" was fixed.
He had firecrackers tied 10 his legs, tail
and neck, and the plot was about to
thicken. He went off with the first
cracker, charging across the street.
After cleaning out a grocery he upset
n boy, went into II house by the front
door and came out of the back window,
half a block, and finally disappeared
away horse. A policeman was pacing
Third street with slow and solemn
step when boy came laundering
along and called out:
ssTurn in fire-alarm ~
"What's up? What's up ?" inquir-
ed the officer.
"Confagration down here-big goat
all on fire from basement to fourth
story-boys rolling him in the mud,
but the fiendish flames still creeping
| heavenwards-turn in an alarm for
two engines and hook and ladder ~
