 It is a well-known fact that Danbury air is peculiarly exhilirating to horse- flesh. It is noticeable that they prick up their ears and put on style whenever they enter town, especially Main street. The resident horses, of course, always cary considerable tone. Out-towners catch the spirit as soon as they enter our borders. One came tearing down West street the other day determined to show what he could do, and turneI into Main street and upset his vehicle, but took it along with him, while the wheels revolv- ed r"pidly in the atmosphere as he dash ed up street. After doing his best, he submitted to restraint. Fortunately, not much damage was done, and no one hurt Another is reported, which we did not see, but no one was hurt.
 We have all heard of the pig that
 went through a fence, the rails of which were so crooked that he came out on the side on which he CT tered, and after re- ad at and cnmit,n nilt ba same side heaentered, gave it up with a squeal of disgust. Monsieur Joe Vallee did not go through the fence exactly, but he turned up on the same side every , time. He called at one of our photogra
 galleries the other day, and poking his
 head in the doorway, asked, "Iz you send for me to do zome york for you?" Joe is a man of all work, and does any little
 jobs that he can get around town He is ; slow of foot, but can outwalk turtle on a go-as-you-please match. He had man. ] aged to get up into the third story in a : slip-shod way. "No," said the proprie. 5 tor, did not send for you, Uncle Joe | What is up now 2" "'Zomebody, peck e sure man, zend for me to come and dc zome work for him." ''You have gor C ill the wrong pew, Joe; you will have te n try again." said the "pecksture man.
 "Vell, py Got" ejaculated Joe, as ht o made as good time as he could 9ow, ' stairs. Not long after Joes good uaturet $ face appeared at the gallery door again S Is you send for me to do some york ? r Joe was considerably puzzled when tn,
 same picture man confronted him and ill
 formed him again of his mistake. .s Yell
 by Got, said Joe as he turned into tn
 hall" Who are you looking for, Joe, 'i asked the proprietor; C does he woa spectacles ?" q don't know about q '' glasses said he, but he vas pig stou - weller, and talks pig" The next morn - Ing Joe's ola shoes were heard sLovin ' along the hall, and presently he pushe ' open the door and popped his head in . Is you send for me to do zome work fo ,L you ?" The man of pictures, who, D
 the way, is not u pig stout veller, bu : rather of the ' long and narrer type as went to the door, :. Yell, by Got!" 6,
 claimed Joe, as he saw the familiar fac, '. and he turred on his heel like sna
 and moved on down stairs. Whether | Y ever found the .pig stout weller 2 1t dos ; not appear. Joe represents large m V jority of mankind; go ever so straigh ne as we think, towards the mark, we al b. liable to get ill the wrong pew.
