A very pleasant little runaway took
place yesterday forenoon-pleasant be-
cause Mr.. Tozer has discovered that he
owns fast horse, and the KNOWLEDGE was
acquired without any one being injured.
When near the school house on the South
hill, Mr.. David ToZer took in a passenger.
DR.. Cain. Soon after the doctor got in the
morse took fright at some peculiar noise
made by striking his heels against the run
ner, and struck out at full speed down
Third street. The doctor, with visions of
broken legs and arms before his eyes, and
knowing from long practice what it costs
to get them IN shape again, jumped out of
the cutter and came up all right. and Mr..
Tozer was left to enjoy the ride all alone.

being headed into a narrow enclosure lust
beyond the city hall. The breaking of

somewhat strange occurrence took place
IN this city few nights back. The event
alluded to has not been made public before
out of regard to the wishes of the chief of
police, who desired to investigate the mat
ter, and If a crime had been committed to
bring the offenders tu justice. the story
runs as follows: One evening short time
ago two men came into the furnace room
OF mill on uorth Main street. One of
them, the elder, had with him roll of pa
pers and box about two feet long, which
was securely tied up, They stood before
the furnace doors for few moments, when
the man with the box remarked that ssthey
were strangers in the city, and were tired
carrying the box and the papers,and asked
permission of the fireman to burn them,
which being granted he handed
the roll of papers to the fireman
and when the furnace doors we're wide
open he threw the box in as quickly cas-
possible and Immediately closed the door,
1twas particularly noticed that he would
allow none to touch the box. When the,
trio left they stood outside, seemingly
watching if the furnace door should be
opened. The incident occupied but few
minutes. After the strangers had left the
premises the engineer ana fireman noticed
peculiar smell. A strong odor of burn
ing flesh. So disagreeable was it that the,
men could scarcely remain in the engine
room. The question is, why were the men
SO anxious for the destruction of the box.
which could have been thrown away any
where, and why were they so particular
about any one touching 1t. Every one.

is given as related by the engineer and.
fireman, who feel assured the box con-
tained human flesh.
