eyes, though she did not appear to be
weeping.
When the two men had placed the
piano in the wagon, the large man with
tie wooden shirt and the unshaven face.

A Lively Runaway.

This village was treated to quite a
lively little runaway last Saturday when
]. FL. Wark's horse came down from +.
H. Shepherds minus the carriage which
he had short time before drawn up
there containing Rev. N w. Alger and
Mrs. Alger. 1t was soon ascertained
that no one was hurt and later the par
ticulars were elected. 1t seems the horse
was hitched to post at Mr.. Shepherds,
he not being at home when they drove
up. He arrived soon however and as
they were to stay only for short time,
he started to lead the horse into the barn,
not taking him from the wagon thinking
he might feed from the now OF hay In
some manner the horse became frightened
and before he could be stopped he had
whirled around and started home. In
making the turn he broke the harness in
such way as to free himself from the
wagon, (Which was, however, badly
broken), and in an unusually short time
he made his appearance in Mr.. Wark's
barn. The wagon and harness were
quite badly wrecked but no other dam
age done.
