A RUNAWAY.

An exciting runaway took place in the hay lot on the LObdell farm, where J. w. Barrett and sons were getting hay. While coming down a steep hill Sylvester Barrett'S horses started to run, one of them being high spirite d horse which he had recently purchas- ed. They were soon beyond his con- trol. They ran on to the barn floor but they were going with such speed, the weight of the load crowded the horses through the opposite siding, where they hung number of feet from the ground, as the barn has a basement under it. The harness had to be cut from the horses before they could be extricated. The men on the load of hay were uninjured, but one horse was badly cut about the nose and a number of stitches had to be taken. The other was badly bruised about the hind-partS; it also took number of boards and nails to repair the dam ages done to the barn.

To get good roads and schools And laws were made to correspond
 With that great Golden Rule, Then how much different things would be
 From what they are to night With selfishness all laid one side
 And every law made right. Then blessings from the God of Heaven
 On every one would fall And we would have good roads and schools,
 And justice done to all.-[J. G. D.
