GEoReEFowE, Dec. l9-There was
quite an exciting runaway Tuesday al
ternoon about o'clock DR.. G r..
Layton left his horse hitched In front of
hi1 residence on Race street while he was
eating his dinner The horse by some
means became unhitched, and probably
wanting his dinner also, started for his
stable. After several successful turns
he entered astwelve foot alley, In which
were at that time a pair Of oxen, an
oxcart ami horse and dear
born In the dearborn was
a barrel Of -four. The runaway horse
passed the oxcart without difficulty, but
when he reached the dearborn. he was
not so fortunate There was only room
in the alley for the horse TO pass, which
he did. regardless of the carriage behind
him, which he dragged over the dearborn
upsetting the carriage and throwing the
morse to the ground, whore he lay until
liberated by the bystanders. He was un-
hurt, but the carriage was somewhat
damaged The doctors medicine case
was thrown out, and the contents mixed
up in a wonderful manner, but not ac-
cording TO the Doctors prescriptions.
BY the way, the bonded warehouse
presents a gloomy appearance to an OBJ
server. 1t reminds one forcibly of a
prison. Mr.. Bacon, having a decided
musical talent, might have amused him
self as he sat in his easy chair by sing
ing, In the prison cell sit, waiting
brandy dear, for you Il would have
been quite appropriate.
1t was rumored last night that @. II.
Bacon. keeper Of the bonded warehouse.
has been appointed route agent between
Georgetown and Lewes, while the agent
on this route has been appointed to like
position on the road from this town &c
Franklin City The question now arising
is: "Where does the other fellow gol
Is there no place for himg'
This town is well supplied with the
daily papers of both Philadelphia and
/ Wilmington. The PHILADELPHIA Press.

| A law has been passed by the p, w. &
B. Railroad Company that no boys should
be allowed on the train without especial
business. This is a wise law and should
have been enforced long ago. There was
an arrest made last Saturday. It Is
commonly rumored that Detective Hutch
ms is here with the intention of arrest
ing every boy who has been on train
within a month, and some of the George
town boys are quite uneasy. They feal
the fines might swallow their Christmas
money.
