CUT ON A BaRBeO WIRE.

A valuable horse belonging to j. L. Coop
er was terribly lacerated and nearly ruined
Sunday night by coming into contact with
a barbed wire fence. Some one had run u
single wire across the old main trav-
eled road which extends diagonally across
from Church 10 Main street, Just east OF
Commodore Woodman's residence. There
was nothing TO show that the road had
been fenced up, and in the dark hours OF
the night this single wire was not observa-
BILE half dozen PAGES away. About ii
O'Clock Policeman Snyder was out in that
vicinity driving this animal Of Mr.. Cooper's.
Having no idea that any obstruction
had been placed across the road, he
drove along at brisk trot, when all of q
sudden the horse ran into the barbed wire, +,
and was most terribly cut up about the
chest, front and hind legs, and the buggy
pretty well smashed up. Snyder brought
the horse back to the stable, but il was un-
able to use its left fore leg, and the flesh
and skin hang in shreds down to its knees.
We understand that Mr.. Cooper will de-
mand damages from the party who fenced
the road and he will doubtless recover
them, as his horse is ruined and his buggy
pretty badly used up. People in fencing
old travelled roads, especially with barbed
and not allow the wire to be exposed, or if
they do they should be held for all damages
that result therefrom.

The teachers institute for Sedgwick
county convened at the Fourth ward school
house yesterday morning at . O'Clock.
There were some sixty teachers present,
and others are expected to arrive daily dur
ing the week. 1t has been nearly year
since the last institute was held in this
city, and during that time many changes
have taken place, but on an average the
teachers now in attendance are more in
telligent and seem more alive to their
work, than at any previous time. OF
course there have been many changes, and a
number of old teachers have gone else
where and are engaged in other callings,
yet among those present are many familiar
faces-old teachers that have been con-
slant attendants at institutes for years, and
have made a grand success of teaching.
