"BOB's" CLEVER WORK.
A Mounted PoIiceman's Horse stops
a Runaway.

Mounted Policeman Miburn and his
horse, Bob" assisted by Superintendent
or Telegraph Foley succeeded in stopping
a runaway yesterday afternoon which
might have resulted seriously The an
imal was attached to the delivery wagon
of Grocer F. Brokhurst, of No. 209 New
ark venue, and when seen by Milburn
at 4 O'Clock was making for the West
Side avenue crossing of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Almost as soon as the police
men saw this Bob" clapped his equine
optics on him and without any further
urging started in pursuit with ears erect.
The horse attached to the wagon was
making very good time, but Bob made
better, and just as the horse was about
to cross the tracks Bob" struck him
sideways and forced him over :nto the
street There it was that superintendent
Foley became an actor in the scene. He
was Standing near watching the perfor-

HAsBR0UOK INSTITUTE 1867.
The Well Known Seat of Learning
Better Than Ever.

The catalogue of Hasbrouck Institute
for 1867 suggests much Of interest to the
citizens of Jersey City. Historically
speaking the school has been before the
public for forty years, and its long list
of graduates, including the names of
many of our prominent citizens, t~estifies
TO the work done in fitting for college and
business. The enterprise of the directors
in providing Jersey City with a school
equipment second to none in this vicinity.
is appreciated by the public spirited people
of Hudson county, as is shown by the
patronage which extends from Bergen
Point to Bergen county.
The organization of the school is by
departments and courses. 1t is an edu-
cational cosmos. where from the kinder
garten to the university the intermediate
stages of progress are provided for. 1t
differs from many other schools in its
organization, in that it is a series of in
dividual small schools with a high moral.
literary and scientific spirit pervading the
whole. Under the best conditions there
fore the teachers and scholars alike work
enthusiastically towards a comnon end.
viz, the acquisition of knowledge and the
formation of character.
III acquisition Of knowledge is of the
first importance and to this end the best
equipped teachers obtainable form the
faculty. The moral atmosphere of the
school is clear and elevating. So much
of social life is allowed as viii tend to
strengthen character and afford proper
relaxation. Association is everything in
the bringing up of children, and manners
count for SO much in the grown-up man
and woman that no education is COM
plete which leaves out this consideration.
Many of these indefinable accessories of
education Hasbrouck seeks TO compel by
the simple method of creating an atmos-
phere in which these things thrive. As a
supplementary factor in the great system
of education in New Jersey, Hasbrouck

Gusher's.
Neither one seemed to be hurt so
