How Fast Can a Hound Run?
This interrogation h frequently
heard, and always with varying answer.
A practical demonstration of the speed
of this species of quadruped recently
cam to our notice, and being well au
thenticated by peroral gentlemen who
were on tho train, we give it as an illus
tration: J. A. Ford of this city owns a
heavy-built inastitr hound. Business
one day called him to Ceresco, a small
ullage eight miles distant, and this dog
accompanied him. On his return he got
on board the train, and did not discover
the absence of the do until the train
began moving, when he stepped to the i
back platform of the car, and there saw
the hound had just started. Tho dog
overtook tho train, but as tho speed of
the cars was constantly quickened, its
endeavors to jump on board were fruit
less. Then the train began to whiz
faster, and the dog quickened his pace,
and until within a mile or two of this
city kept up with the cars, which were
going at tho rate of eighteen miles an
hour. He ai rived a few minutes after
tho cars, his feet sore and bleeding from
contact with splinters on tho tica, having
made the distance of eight miles in half
an hour. Letter to Chicago Inter

gas than had bees known, and, instead of i
the usual uaah, as soon as the light touched
it, a terrific explosion followed. The report
was heard for miles, and a column of dime

ton engine used for supplying tbe tassel
with air, which stood about fifty feet from
the mouth of the tunnel, was completely

foreman, groped out, asd was soon after
followed by three or four of the Chinamen,

were soon on the spot, asd the work of get

that lights could not be ud for any dis

were found. All were alive, bat burseJ to
