ORIGIN Of ga One Horse Affair"

Formerly in England fashion de-
manded the use of two horses with every
vehicle tor pleasure riding, and ne who
dared appear with one horse only was mot
considered respectable. Lord Brougham
endeavored to override the custom, and
had a carriage made for his own use TO
be drawn by q single horse, the style
now has his name, but has never been
looked upon favorably. A different
fashion prevails in the country, and one
can ride in a one-horse chaise or othea
style of single carriage without giving
offense to Mrs. Grundy.-NeU Yorb Sun.

Hon. G. A. Richardson this morning

mated the spot on the race track grounds
where the first attempt should be made
to see artesian water in the valley, Con-
tract having been closed With man
from Kansas whose machinery was
then on the ground to sink such a well.
After going down s..oft distance it was
found that a different class of casing
would be necessary, and work ceased
until the casing arrived. In the mean

cases in his court yesterday morning:
II. II. Mangrum, arrested by Officer
Rigney for being drunk at the Ponce dc
Leon Hotel, was dismissed on account
of it being an aggravated case. 1t
seems that Mangrum went into the bar
and went to sleep. The bar keeper
allowed some boys to awake him with
paper while in that fix, on which account
he was discharged.
Charles Mitchell, for obstructing the
side walk; was dismissed.
John billiard and John Penteller, ar
rested by Officer Schancks for obstruct-
ing the side walk; were fined S. each.
1t seems that they had been ordered
away and refused to go.
