and the horse took fright at the approach of

bride, and was swung several times round by
the horse, when the buggy was upset and
broken. The animal then broke loose and
ran some distance up the street, when he was
caught and brought back. Mr.. Hoover is a

pounds, and although he held on to the ex-
cited animal manfully, he yet got away from
him. 1t was fortunate that he sustained no

circumstances under which the coinage OF the
trade dollars was stopped. He enclosed
letter from the Director of the MINIS stating
that the coinage of these dollars was suspend

that owing to the decline in the value OF silver
and appreciation of United States notes, trade
dollars were being placed in domestic circu-
