MisfOrtunes Of IA Happy Family,

James Craig's team, driven by the
Adams boy, left home for Barnet Satur-
day with quite happy family for
load, consisting of a cow and a calf
mother pig and little ones and two little
pigs in bag. After having gone little
way the cow jumped out of the front OF
the wagon onto the horses, giving them
quite surprise. They ran and dumped
the wholeload into the brook. The cow
and calf were not hurt, the little pigs
foated down stream and have not been
found, and the mother pig took her little
ones and walked back home. The horses
ran till they were thrown down near
Albert Peaks but were uninjured, and
fortunately the boy was not hurt.

a magnificent bronze statue Of Grecian
workmanship four feet high was
brought to light. The discovery was
made in the presence of Prof. Orsi.
director OF the excavations of Syracuse.
The statue, which strongly resembles
the celebrated "Idolino degil Uffizi'' OF
Florence, is estimated to be worth
100000. 1t is in perfect preservation,
and seems to have been designed to
support lamp in some villa outside
