o'clock, says the Examiner, as Mr.. VIM.
II. Picking, one Of the proprictors Of the
Dill House, in this city, in company with
Mr.. Charles M. Peters, of Columbus, Ohio,
were driving up South Market street, and
when coming over the bridge his mare
made sudden dart, when Mr.. Picking
pulled her up, and in doing SO she broke
the bit, when the animal started to kick.
She continued this way until reaching
pile of dirt in front Mr.. II. N. Etchison's

which he accomplished after some little

their relief and soon had her unhi,chcd
from the buggy The mares hoof, while
she was kicking, reached the top Of the
buggy, and at the same time kicked the
hat off of Mr. Picking's head whilst seated
on the inside. This was most too close for
comfort, and indeed n very narrow escape.
