A SINGULAR RUNAWAY.

On Tuesday afternoon, a servant msit
employed by Wilbur G. Woolyhan, whit
lives on farm about mile and a bal
west of Armstrong;, was driving horse
and buggy containing little seven year.
old son an eight year old daughter of Mr.
WoIlyhan. As they came to point near
the Armstrong school-house, the maid
noticed traction engine standing in the
road. After waiting awhile for it to
move, aud seeing that nothing was done,
and no person appearing, she alighted,
and started to take the horse by the
bride TO lead him past the engine; but
before she reached the bride, the engine
suddenly blew off steam with loud
noise, and away the frightened horse
went atearing up the road. After run
niOg a short distance, it turned, into
lane leading to Mr.. WOolIyhan's own
house. But instead of going tra;ght, he
shot diagonally across the lane to pass
