READY FOR SERVICE.

Since the Waylarer called attention
to the fact that paupers are buried in
the Potter's Field without religious
ceremonies, there has been more or less
talk among the preachers as to gome
feasible pan for according to the
bodies of these un61rtunates Christian
burial without entailing upon any par
ticular preacher sufficient labor and ex-
pense to embarass him in the PERFORM
ance OF his regular duhes. II is to the
credit OF the colored preachers that
they have come to the fr<nt as vo.ur-
teers for the burial Of those OF their
race who die at Farnhurst Rev. M

The Wayfarer witnessed an amusing
incident on East Fifth street yesterday
afternoon. A wagon to which were
hitohed two large sOrel horses, drove
ND before a blacksmith shop and thS
animals were unhitched preparatory {;
being shod. One of the horses walk
ed peacthhly into the smithy, bu
the other absolutely refused to ente
the building. No amount of coaxini
could induce him to budge Finally
rope was brought and placed about tn
animals body and two or three m'i
began tugging away on the beast On
other man was behind pushing tn
horse, and finally they got him into th
shop. But here more trouble was eX
perlenced. He refused to allow Oh
blacksmith to place the SHOES on him
and every Time one Of his hind leg
was lifted from the floor he calmly sa
down upon the ground. These ma
neuvers were kept up for nearly Al
hour, and finally the horse lay dow
completely. He made no offer to l0ic
or prove vicious, but only objected {
having shoes placed ON his feet. II
became exhausted. however, by his el
forts and scented to conclude he ha
better go through the operation, while
the blacksmith performed with dis
patch. Upon completing his work d
received, in addition TO his regula
charge, 8 cents extra from the owne
of the team for the extra amount {
labor performed by him.
