terday Afternoon. Mr.. Daley is the
clerk at the Commonwealth Brick Com
pany's store, and has, among his varied
duties, the care of the driving horse of
Mr. Parmenter, the manager of the
yard
Yesterday he removed the harness
from the mare, and allowed her to
Craze near the track of the North
Brookfield branch. He remained near
by to see that the horse did not wan
der on the track, there being an engine
switching a few feet away. The mare
became alarmed by the blowing of the
engines whistle, and made a savage
attack on Daley with her fore feet. He
was struck on the left arm and thrown
to the ground, only to be attacked
again by the vicious animal.
fortunately, the mare spread her
feet, one hoof grazing Daley on
either side. The next time she went into
the air on her hind feet, he managed
to roll out from his dangerous posi-
tion and to seek safe place. The ami
NAL soon quieted down, and Mr.. Daley
was enabled to secure her in the stable
near by. Besides the general shaking
up, Mr.. Daley experienced no injuries,
with the exception of bruise on his
left elbow, where the hoof of the mare
struck him in the first place. Several
neighbors saw the attack of the horse
on Daley, and expected to see him
badly mangled by the animals hoofs.

boat imagining that the Maine disas-
ter was about to be repeated on a
smaller scale. Several leaped from the
boat to the landing, one elderly lady
making a frenzied leap over the railing
Of the boat fortunately landing on the
wharf. Mr.. Marchesseault, who was
