A colored Columbian distinguished
himself yesterday by life saving feat
which, while it did not involve his
personal pe-il, was yet of a character
emitting him to high praise.
Mr. John w Hendrix of Lexington

some purchases. driving his wife and
two little chiIdron in a wagon drawn
by that lusus naturae, frisky mule.
He stopped his team at Plain street,
the side entrance of Mmnaugh's new
store under the Grand Central hotel
and leaving his family in the wagon,
went in to buy some goods. The mule
was facing eastward; something started
it and 1t swung round abruptly toward
the west, upsetting Mrs Hendrix and
the little boy OUT of the wagon, and,
turning tnto Main street, dashed at
full speed down that thorough fare.
The little girl, Lila. lass of six or
seven ysars, had been thrown into the
bottom OF the wagon.and could hardly
be seen 10y the people on the sidewalks;
but Tom Carter, "a stout young co'ored
man employed at Strickisnd's stables,
had glimpse OF her as the wagon
dashed by him and instantly set out in

Strangely enough, the mule slacken-
