when the horse became frightened and
ran. Dashing up Haviland street to
South Main street the horse swung the
vehicle telegpaph-pole. dashed
across the street and struck anoth'er
pole where the driver was thrown out.
The boy also fell out but became en,-
tangled in the carriage and was dragged
over the pavement to Baxter’s drug-
store where he became disentangled
and dropped to the ground. The horse
continued on to Crofut & Khapp’s shop
where he stopped with the wrecked car-
riage. The boy was taken into the
drug-store and’ later to Dr. Bohannan’s
office where his injuries which are seri-'
one were prescribed for. He was then
taken home. Mr. Cofi‘rey escaped with
a few slight bruises.
ThoseWild Horses.
One of the wild horses sold at the re-
cent auction sale in South Norwalk to
Allan Wood of East Norwalk, "has been
braken to harness by a Winnipauk
“breaker,” and was driven through
Norwalk this morning. Mail carrier
Bennett’s horse, one of the same lot,
continues to “kick” against being har-
nessed, although he can be brought
under subjection. when thoroughly
choked with a halter. Groceryman P.
J. O’Brien expects to have the one he
purchased made to behave himself by
the same trainer that taught Wood’s
animal how to behave. There will be
lots of fun from all three of them before
many meons unless it be that the horse-
star does not tell the truth.
o
The Ordeal and the Result.
Mr. Bryan spoke of his coming into
New York as an advance into the “en-
emy’s country;” but in truth New York
isthe enemy of no man and no cause
deserving of its friendship. It is ces-
moplitan in its hospitality to strangers
and strange doctrines. Freedom of
speech and fair judgement of the speak-
ers prevail in this town. New York is
without envy, and it is not jealous of
any part of the Union, but desires the
advancement of ’all. Its own welfare
depends on the common prosperity.
Mr. Bryan could not have gone to
any other community in the Union
which would have given him a hearing
so absolutely fair as that he got in New-
York.—Sun.

Played Cards on the Town Lawn.
Remarked a Main street merc hant to
a GAZETTE reporter this morning.
"There was acrowd of Dagos playing
cards on the grass in front of the Town
house yesterday afternoon.” It seems
to the reporter that it being Sunday,
theDagos would have gained more re-
spect by playing their cards in the
woods and out of the sight of people
who remember the Sabbath day and
keep it holy, and perhaps not have run
as great a risk of landing in the station
house and the next morning paying a
a fine and costs.
