A horse belonging to MIR. B. G.. Bass
caused little furry of excitement Mon
day morning. The animal was hitehed in
front of n. NJ, Draper 3 and being fright
ened by the dropping of an awning, broke
from its fastening, drew the wagon TO the
sidewalk and gallopcu along the concrete
as far as the postoitiee; there it turned
and, proceeding to the hitching posts
south of Iewksbury's store, drew up be-
tween the teams without any mishap and
would doubtless have hitched Itself had
there been q halter handy. But the crowd
of men and boys IN that part OF the square
for the next few minutes reminded one OF
a June training. A little later that morn-
iGg, Rev. Alr. Robsonis horse slipped on
the ice in front OF the postonico aAd fell,
but on being released from the wagon,
quickly regalned bis feet, aud no damage
was done.
