A REMARKABLE RUN.-On Thursday night OF
last week, Mr.. Dorsey Hangers saddle horse got
out OF the stable, this side of the tunnel. and
wandered off until he got on the railroad in a
cut near Mr.. Harper's residence. Shortly after
the Express came putting along. The horse
struck out in a long trot and followed the rail-
road, just in front of the engine, which had
fchecked up, through the tunnel and down as
far as Alton. where he left the track and saun-
tered out, apparently unconcerned, upon the
commons, where he was found by the owner
next morning. The tunnel is nearly a mile
through, and it is one mile from the eastern
end to Alton, yet this horse kept the track the
whole way and never stumbled aynesboro

to her.
