fort ut social intercourse had been
made by stout. stern-fcatured man of

matched the suit Of mixed Scotch
goods that he wore During all this

manifested the utmost impatience Mt
the slowness Of the vehicle, and his
bitter complaints and grumblings had
made him disliked by bis, fellow-pas.

there was scene of alright and ey-

reared madly; tho driver jumped for
the leaders heads, and shouted to
soothe and steady the four; the passen-
gers on the outside were promiscu-
ously pitched into the road or forced
to jump; those on the inside were
thrown into heap together. Women's
screams and EXPLANATIONS from the
men were mingled. The man in gray
tugged at one Of the doors, and, being
