This action throws out of employment

the result of the anticipated removal of

Singular Predscenent OF q Horse.

What is generally regarded as one of
the most singular accidents to horse
that has ever Teen witnessed in the
vicinity of Haverford, Delaware coun-
ty, took place on Thursday evening last
week. The victim was an animal be-
longing to 7. Hunter Moore, Jr., the
storekeeper and postm aster at that viii
lage. The particulars as related to q
| Village Record representative while in
| that section soon after are as follows:
About eight o'clock in the evening Mr..
Moore and others in the store heard
Eoise in the stable back of the building
which at first failed TO attract particu.
lar notice. "A few minutes later young
man entered and stated that he thought
Mr.. Moore's horse must be choking
having heard q noise similar to that in
the stable. AT that announcem ent
Moore and several men went over to
the stable to examine into the mystery
antp sure enough there lay the horse
upon its side and with its head down
completely under it's body between the
front legs, and apparently straining
hard for breath. A moment later it
waa observed that one of it's hind hoofs
was completely jammed into its mouth
from which there flowed a perfecs
stream Of blood. The foot was in to
the forelock and it required the COM
hincu efforts ota half IA dozen men 70
extricate it, which was done after o
large stick had been procured and used
asa wedge between its jaws. AS soon
as the hoot was withdrawn the horse
rose to its feet. An examination of its
moHth showed that the two first lamp
ers were torn about half out and that
there were hole in the upper jaw be-
tween them fully one fourth of an inch
deep from each of which wounds tho
blood flowed profusely. The foot was
found to be cue TO depth of about one
inch all a. ound the top Of the hoof by the
horses teeth. 1t is supposed that the
Eorse had gotten into. its singular plight
while attempting to brush away flies,
and that had .he discovery of its acci-
dent not been made when 1t was it
would have choked to death in few
minutes. Its escape from death was
almost as singular as the accident, since
had the second and third instead of first
and second hampers in its mouth been
cut it would have hed to death in
short time and how that it escaped hav-
ing the third lamper cut Judging from
the appearance of the mouth, is also
strange

A Plague OF Flies.

A special despatch from st. Louis
says: A very remarkakahe phenome.
non was noticed at some of the hotels
last evening in the shape of the sudden
irruption of myriads of small flies.
The insects seemed to be especially at
tracted by the electric lights in the
glass globes. At the Lindell Hotel
there were seen millions of these flies in
motion, crossing AMI recrossing each
other like clouds Of dust. Everybody
observed it, as they had not been seen
in such enormous numbers before.
They seemed to have been generated all
at once by myriads. They were much
smaller than the mosquito and some
what larger than the gnat. They ap-
peared of the genus miller fly, who en-
joy flirting about q candle, except for
their minuteneSs.
They came in asudden swarm, and in
passing out of the Lindeil Hotel the
electric lights were surrounded by my
rlads OF these pests, and what is pecu-
liarly noticed was that the shadows of
these little insects were magnitied on
the brightly illuminated sidewalks as
large as if crows or large birds were ly-
Iis ONtl' AJ bib JbClbut I1oUci ii Sl1n-
iilar irruTtion was Loticed about the
electric lights, and in such clouds did
they gather that they actually covered
the globes, at times obscuring the bril-
liancy within and rendering it neces-
sary to substitute the gaslights. The
electr lights being turned off, the flies
covered the register and everything in
the shape of paper, dashing against
the handbills like d shower OF hail.
Some idea of tho wonderful extent of
the invasion may be conveyed by the
statement that the tagging of the side
walk became 50 completely coated that
it became dangerously slippery, ana the
of the hotel had to send out
porters with brooms to remove them.
Window lodges We're covered to the
depth Of fourth of an inch with the
dead insects. The little creatures had |
white wings, and as they walked over
The paper Of the register they looked
like ale colored tfeas in a consumptive
state.
