Jim Shanks got pretty badly hurt
and was indeed very fortunate in not
being hurt much worse or killed last
Thursday morning. He was leading
a three year old colt along the road
and a boy came up behind the
colt which frightened it causing it to
jump and its front feet came down
astride Of his (Shank's) neck, crush
ing him to the ground, stepping on
his body with both hind feet, and then
ran away, and it happened that
young Shanks had the bride rein
wrapped around his left wrist, and he
was dragged in an Unconscious con
ditfon for some distance, but finally
broke lose. The thumb Of his right
hand was lislocpted and he was 9th
erwise badly bruised.

The entertainment given here by
the Sunday Schools, Christmas Eve

which the program was rendered wa,
certainly a high compliment to the
persons who had the matter in charge,
and especially to the young Ameri.
cans who bravely stepped in front of
the foot lights and performed so well
their respective parts. If those
young and tender voices and little
tongues that can scarcely frame and
pronounce words can so eloquently
declaim, what may we not expect
from them when they grow older if
they are kept in proper training?

but was to every decent man woman

We have cried 10 look upon the act
with as much charity as such conduct
would admit, hoping that it might
have been some brainless, or thought
less boy without judgment or discre-

if done by q sensible man with full

and with malicious intent, public con-

1t is indeed misfortune when Sun

pleasure or mutual benefit without
some low paltroon insinuating hie
miserable carnality into the gathering
to mar the pleasure Of it. This will
probably end having Christmas Trees
