Mr. Zi-eeher ani some of his men ran t ascertain what was the matter, and were not a ' j little aiouished to find one of the i horse's belonin to the Adams Ex- pr's Companv lying do . . . , .

The poor brute would have strangled to death had he not been promptly releived; and it was nearly half an hour bufore he could ri-c t his feet. .It is supposed that the hor-e threw his foot forward in s'rikintr at the liii's, and ut the same time threw his head backward bitinjr at them, thus 'pub ini; his foot in it'v The entire hoof was was m the horses's mouth, the teeh beine; sunk into the flesh j above tho hoof almost, if not altogether, to the Ij'.ne.

The reison obivious, man is not only the most irregular and intemperate, but the most laborious and hard-worked of all animals. He is also the most irritable, and there is reason to believe, though we cannot tell wdiat an animal secretely feels. that more than any other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself with the fire of his own secret, reflections. In the United States fully two-thirds of tho people are dependent on the soil for support, and of the 9,000,000 An Unfortunate Man. Joe Brown lives not far from Sedalif . Joe is a married man and keeps house, be has a wite and three children. There is also a dog, and cat and, we. sup - pose, plenty oj r.its. Joe is wry pious, Last Tuesday morning, as usual, Joe called the family t prayers. But they did'nt have prayers Tues day morning. No, indeed! Joe cant pray worth a cent now. After summon ing the family around him, and look" ing at the clock that was ticking so lust ily on the nuntkd, Joe found out tint he must pudi things this morning, for time won't even wait on religion. After getting the frmily seated around him, .Joe gave out a hymn. After this he read two verrsos of the gospel according to St. John. Joe's eldest boy in the meantime had concluded to have a little lun. The dog wanted a drink, .and he nave him scalding wafer. ust as Joe was in the midst of a fer- vent prayer the dog set up a howl. His wife kicked at the brute and overturned the pan of water. Joe had his boots off, and when the water came in contract Avith his feet he yelled out "Godle niity ! O Lord ! He gave a jump and landed square on the cat's biik. This slightly increased the mu sic, and not being used to serving a a pack mule, pussy took exception to the liberty, and bv using her teeth and claws soon made her pre-ence f.-lt. As the needh -like fangs came in. eon tact with his scalded foot Joe yell ed: "Gosh! Somebody take 'em off, quick " The old lady rushed to the rescue, of Jack, but the water had become slip pery, and in has'e she fell flat on tho floor and Joe square on the ankles, which sent him to gn srf, and his head came in contact Avith the bed-post, while his Vc knockid two tee'h down lhe old lady's throat. The old lady did'nt know but that Joe had struck her on purpose, so she just got up, arul after getting th teeth out of her moti'h, started to her father's. J o.i got up, too, and after giving one unearthly ye'l. started after he". In the haste he ma le, and bliu .cd by blood, he stumb'ed over a chair and landed flat on top of the dog and knocked one of the bovs down. II taring the racket, the neighbors rushed in. Joe was taken to the po lice court, but after hearing all the facts in the case, his honor concluded that Joe was'nt drunk and had him convey ed hamc on a stretcher. A Bazoo man went out to view the damage. Joe was lying in bed awaiting repairs; his wife is at her father'.-; one of the boys was in be l with a very sore hotly; the dog has gone on a tramp, and the cit ha chaneed her boardiu'-house. Things were lying scattered around every where. The Bazoo -man saw the mischief-maker outside the door and went to interview him. The only thing he had to say was: "I swar ! who'd a huck such it small amount of water would have cau-ed sneh a row?n He will start for Leadville before Joe gets a chance to be around.
