Horses Went Overheard.

An accident which came near caus-
ing two horses to lose their lives in
the river, occurred yesterday after
noon at the east approach to the pom
toon bridge. The horses belonged to a
young man named Charles Mercer, who
lives near Churchtown. He was driv-

him were his mother and a neighbor.
Young Charles had been imbibing
rather freely and the effect on his eye
sight seemed to be bad indeed, for he
drove one horse so close to the upper
side of the approach that it went over,
pulling its mate with 1t. Bystanders
cut the harness and after considerable
trouble rescued the horses.
AS fitting afterpart of this excit-
ing episode, two spectators became en-
gagged in quarrel as to their know

Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
