A HORSE belonging to c. C. Thomp-
son gave rare exhibition of intelligence
this morning. The horse was hitched
to a fence near the residence of Isaac
Pratt and Mr., Thompson and Mr.. Pratt
were soon talking business. Suddenly
the horse began to plunge. A swarm of
bees had settled around him. Freeing
himself from his head stall, he dashed
down the road, carrying with him the
bees. Then, instead of uselessly contin-
ing his run in that direction, he turned,
after having gone some distance, and
ran back to where the two gentlemen
were standing and stopped. With the
aid of blankets they drove the bees from
the horse. His neck is somewhat swol-
len from the effects of the stings.
THE two-year-old child of j. r. Car
penter of Union street, was run over,
while at play in the road in front of the
house, Tuesday, by team driven by
William Mattison, a butcher from South
SALISBURY who'runs a cart through the
town. The child miraculously escaped
with slight injuries. 1t seems impossi-
BILE that, with the ordinary slow going
butchers cart, such an accident could
happen, provided the ordinary precau
tons were used in driving. But wheth-
er the accident was due to carelessness
or not, the drivers subsequent conduct
is deserving of the severest censure. In
stead of rendering any assistance, or
waiting to learn the extent of the childs
injuries, he drove on, leaving the child
lying in the road. Such an act is inhu-
man.
