—Christian A. Sack, a farmer, residing not far from Rensselaer, came to town last Monday afternoon in a farm wagon drawn by a black and a gray mare—tbe last one accompanied by a little colt. As farmer Sack drove up Washington street the rain came down like a torrent, and stopping the team in front of Imes’s drugstore, be took shelter under tbe awniug while tbe black and gray remained unhitched (at their heads) at an unsafe distance from their driver. Frank Myer, the skillful drug clerk, remarked to Mr. Sack that his team might consider it a first-class opportunity to create a sensation and work up a little notoriety in Rensselaer by running away. Sack replied “they can run and be—.” A flash of lightning and a crash of thunder settled their determination to go, and they went "Hell-to-plit over the prairie; the team, little coltie and all.” Before the situation could be farely comprehended and the boys and street loafers had time inflate their lungs for a general yell, tbe team passed beyond tbe public square and was taking cross lots forTuteur’s government saloon. As theyjumped tbe ditch at the crossing of Cullen street, the neck-yoke slipped off, and a rod or two farther on the wagon tongue penetrated the earth to nearly half its length, which brought that bounding vehicle to a dead halt, but the horses, now fully determined to make a success of it, gave the old wagon a parting kick and made Gilpin speed until tbe sport became monotonous. In due time tbe hoises were agaiu in the hands of their owners, but the task of abstracting the wagon tongue was not so easy. A number of friends gathered around, and advice as to tbe best method of solving the problem was free and bountiful. Tbe plan adopted was to bitch tbe team to tbe hind axle and “yank” it out, and after some delay it was accomplished. Had the craw-fish action ceased with the extraction of the wagon tongue the sequel to the runaway, which proved to be the mo«t dangerous and damaging, would not have occurred. Bome one suggested that they recross tbe ditch, which contained nearly two feet of water, by drawing the wagon backwa. a person guiding it by the tongue. The result was just as might hate been expected. When tbe hind part of the wagon descended Into theditb it ran against the horses’ heels which greatly revived their romtihg propensities and they skipped out again with apparent full determination to finish the work of destruction. Sack held on to the lines until the wagon struck the elevated board sidewalk on tbe south side of Washington where the hind wheels parted company with the fore wheel* and tbe box capsized against him. The man who attempted to steer-the wagon by the tongue let go on the first bound and plowed bis noee into the mud on tbe brink of tbe ditoh. Tbe horses,carrying with them only the hind wheels and axle, took tbe sidewalk south on Cullen street, and played sad havoc with the picket fence in front of tbe editor’s residence. Tbe wheels and axle went end over end until the former were completely demolished and tbe fragments scattered along the way. Before the ffice was ended tbe gray mare fell in a deeper ditch foil of wJter on a back street, but tbe black waited ontll she recovered, when they proceeded (the gray on three legs) to Conduotor Jones's residence, where they played circus on the crossing of two streets until Mrs. Jones ran out and checked their wild career by laying hold of a bridle. Saok gathered the most valuable fragments into a heap, and after nibbing bis bruises for a season, mounted oneof his highflyers and headed toward home, a sad-, der and a wiser mao.

Mrs. Adalins Jor* dan, of Remington, by order of the Jasper Circuit Court, was divorced from James F.

This divorce was granted on construction notice, or notice by publication, in which it becomes tbe duty of the oourt to state in the decree that the party obtaining the divorce shall not marry again, for the term of two years, (bee statute, vol. 11., page 325, sec. 6) Tbe divorce was granted on the 9th lost, and on tbe 11th one Samuel M. Black, also of Remington, obtained a license from the olerk of tbe same oourt to marry the aforesaid grass w’idow, and if the plans were carried out this sentimental pair were united in the holy bondß of wedlock, last Sabbath.
