From . Virginia correspondent
We learn of curious accident that
happened near Eden Last week. It
appears that A. Snyder, proprietor
of the Eden hotel, hitched q wild
horse to a top buggy for the purpose
of taking a Mrs Walcott to her home
in the country, a distance of six
miles. just as they got started they
undertook to drive over q picket
rope, but when they came to the
rope the horse attached to it straight
ened up suddenly and frightened
the one Mr.. Snyder was driving.
Snyder jumped from the buggy to
catch the horse by the bride, but
just a. he got to the ground the
horse turned sharp around, throw
ing Mrs. Walcott to the ground, and
injuring her TO such an extent that
her recovery is doubtful. The horse
tore loose from the buggy and ran
about six miles before he was caught.

A Story Of Beau Hickman.

1t is related of the famous Beau Hick-
man that in his best days he once went
to a first class hotel in Baltimore and,
after registering his name, said he
wanted the very best the house could
afford for his money, twirling in his
hand at the same time quarter of
dollar. The clerk saw before him an
elegantly attired gentleman, and ,as Beau
requested, assigned him a handsome
parloT and bedroom. Beau lived like a
fighting cock, ordering wines, extra
dinners and everything palatable for
week, at the end of which time the bill
was sent. The amount was something
extravagant.
Nothing abashed, however, he strolled
into the office and confronted the clerk.
Look here, sir, there must be some
mistake about this when 1 came here
1 told you wanted the best you could
afford for my moneys worth. 1 had
this quarter then producing the conn.,
and it's all I've had SINCE" The clerk
waxed angry and high words followed.
Your fault, sir, your fault" said the
imperturbable Beau, "not mine. You
can kick me out if you like, but I'd
rather go alone" Tradition says they
were about to proceed to violent meas
ures when the landlord appeared on the
scene, and, looking at the name on the
register, recalled the peculiar vagrant
character of the man before him (then
just becoming notorious in Washington
and discovered that he had been "egreg-
iously sold." The thought flashed
across his mind, " if this joke gets out
shall be the laughing stock of my
friends, and never hear the last of it,"
Deliberating moment he turned to
Beau and good naturedly remarked,
"Well, Hickman, that's the best 1 ever
had, but can't keep it. I'll make a
bargain with you. Here, take this SIS to
pay your fare to Washington beau
quietly pocketed the half eagle,l and
now go over to the House, stay
week on the same terms that you stayed
here and I'll give you dinner every
time you come to Baltimore"
THANK you," replied Beau, without
cracking smile, I've been over there
for two weeks and they sent me herel

the particular coop in which the prize.
chicken was strutting. Hawthorne was
in despair, when Mr.. John Hagerty
came to the scene. John explained that
there were seventy-two, dozen chickens.
in the coop. In order to surely recover
the pin they must all be killed. Hagerty
sells more dressed chickens every day to.
the hotels than that, and ell, he asked
Hawthorne to do was to pay the price of
twenty-five cents per dozen, for the
actual labor of killing and' dressing the
birds. To this the owney'of the missing
jewels consented. The .pOaltry were ta-
ken back to the killing and cleaning
room, where seven women, are constant
ly employed dressing fowl for the mar
ket, and the work of slaughter began.
Mr.. Hawthorne and NA Hagerty stood
by, carefully watching the examination
of the craw of each bird. The women
were not aware that they were hunting
for premium bird, and the one who
discovered the cluster in the craw of q
bird, when there were but six more left
to clean, was thoroughly surprised.
The pin was found uninjured, and, after
a good washing, resumed its position on
the owners shirt front. He very hand
somely gave the woman who found the
diamonds $40 note, paid Mr. Hagerty
$1S for killing the chickens, and set up
the drinks, about So worth. He will
not care to examine Gagged poultry too
closely in the future.

A DIAMOND HUNT.

John f. HAGERTY, of 945 Broad
u way, says st. Louis paper, yester-
day sold seventy-two dozen chickens,
under circumstances that were out of
the usual routine of trade. One of the
S64 chickens sold and Immediately
killed was, for few minutes valued at
$780, 1t occupied, as 1t were, the posi-
ton of capital prize in lottery. The
circumstances were like this Mr.. Haw-
thorne, sojourner in st. Louis, whose
home is in Syracuse, n. Y, was stroll
ing up Broadway yesterday morning,
observing with interest the huge pro-
portions of the poultry and game busi-
ness of the city. A number of the
coops of very fine chickens numbered
the sidewalk in front of Hagerty's place.
Mr.. Hawthorne was and is the owner
of very fine diamond cluster pin of
seven stones, and valued at $500.
While leaning overs coop of chickens,
playfully stirring them up with his
cane, one of the fowls suddenly shot his
head through an aperture in the top of
the coop, and, with rapid, firm move
ment and grip, tore the glittering dia-
dem from the snowy expanse of Mr..
Hawthorne's shirt front. The pin actual
ly presented front with the circumfer-
ence of dime. AS a grain of corn it
disappeared down the gullet of the
voracious hen. Mr.. Hawthorne at once
became wildly excited. He ran into the
store and loudly proclaimed his loss, and
then danced out on the sidewalk and
there bewailed his bad luck. There were
a number of hucksters buyingichickens
at the time. They We're pulling the
coops about, and somehow, between the
unfortunate mans excitement and the
handling of the coops by the hucksters,
he lost all knowledge Of the identity of
