HENLEY, July 2-12:S0 p. M.-When the
Cornell crew fouled with the river bank
they had trayersed about quarter OF the

The Cornell crew, ia drawing for posi-

The Cornell crew, when leading Hert-

The day has gone by when II was requisite

Costly Runaway Accidents,


Last Wednesday morning. about II
O'Clock While the fine four horse team
owned by Mr.. A d. Tribbet, of Folly
M ills, was standing near the Chesapeake
4 Ohio depot, gentleman fired pistol
The frightened horses got away from their
driver and dashed down Augusta street.
On the way they scattered the load of -four
barrels along the street, and broke the
wheels of Mr.. j. l.. Peyton's buggy
which was standing in front of Harper 4
Crawford s store Mr., Peyton barely had
lime to get out Of the buggy before the
accident occurred. The team was stopped
near the corner of Augusta and Main
streets, when one of the most valuable an
imals in it was found to have so badly cut
its leg as to lame it for some time.
The gentleman who fred the pistol was
fined $40 by magistrate, and there will
doubtless be other damages to pay.
About the same time that this occurred,
the double team of Mr.. Samuel Beard, of
Mint Spring. standing at McKnight's sash
factory, near the G. e. O. arch, became
frightened and ran up Church street, mar
rowly missing killing lady and child who
were in front of Dr.. Shelton's, as thew
reached Main street. Turning down Main
street they rushed on, wreekiDg the ex-
press wagon of Thomas Murray, and then
turned into New street. Just after turn
ing one of the animals, handsome black.
fell, breaking his fore leg above the fet~
lock. The owner of the horse made a
present OF him to gentleman who in

More About sheep Raising.
Editors Tsndicator:

Editors indicator:
l have read in your columns OF che So
called sheep disease, and not. believing it
to be any disease at all, beg leave to give
a little of my experience during the past
severe winter. I have a few sheep, for
which prepared shelter before the winter
commenced, chat they could go under
when they chose, if not, they could range
in field, with water in it. | found they
would not use the sheds, except in the
worst weather, and have not shut them
up night this winter.
When the snow fell on the Goth of De-
cember. and the weather set in so cold, l
commences feeding my sheep wheat bran,
from peck TO a halt bushtl, adding about
one-thlrd that amount of oats OF corn
twice day, to SO head, giving little salt
once a d W.
AS ths snow melted away I diminished
he feed but not entirely, still feeding
vice day. and have not had any trOu-
lie with my sheep nor the young lambs
Except TO feed them.
All the reports through the papers, and
rom our neighbors, seem to cOnnrm the
dea that he great trouble is clogging in
the stomach, and in this. as in many other
things IA ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" The bran has tenden-
cy to prev mt this, and the grain strength
