Company D is mad clear through over the
alleged sensational expose, in an alleged
sensational paper, of the stealing of four or
five turkeys, a couple of dozen buns, three
or lour pies, etc., etc., from the larder of the
lunch department of the Sister's Fair on
Sunday morning last, with the open imputa
tion that a member or members, of Co. D
committed the ulleged outrage and a call for
their expulsion from the I. N. G. These are
the cold unalloyed facts of the case, as sta
ted by both the fair managers and the jani
tor, who ate the food. The janitor is com
pelled to be about the building day and
night, keeping up fires and guarding the ex
hibits. He lakes most of his meals at the
refreshment table, under agreement that
their cost shall be deducted from the bill
for ball rent at the settlement. There was a
chicken, a half doen buns and rusk, some
coffee, and some butter left of the lunch ou
last Saturday evening, and it was under
stood by the management that the janitor
would take them for his breakfast. He did
so, and some ghoul, with more enthusiasm
than discretion, under the guite of a repor
ter, hearing of the missing food, immediate
ly concluded that there had been a grand
banquet by Co. D, on stolen viands. But
the goods are in the bill, and paid for.

Aid. Frichard had a narrow escape from
death on the Covel creek road Wednesday
afternoon. He was driving elowly along,
thinking of no danger, when looking behind
he discovered a runaway team, bitehed to a
bob-sled, whose approach had been rendered
noiseless by the snow, almost upon his cut
ter. It was too late to escape by flight, and
there was no room to turn aside, so the
alderman did the next best thing, to hia
mind, and jumped out. Unfortunately,
however, his feet caught in the lap robe and
be fell under the feet of the approaching
team, and was carried several rods under
the horses and bob, the deep enow alone
saving him from being crushed to death. As
it is, Mr. Prichard carries a cut about five
inches long on hia cranium, extending from
the apex to the butt of the left ear. He will
be laid np for a day or two.

Gideon Ruger, the school teacher, who
lives on the llitt plantation on Ottawa Ave.,
lost a horse in a very singular manner ou
Wednesday afternoon. He was on his way
home from town, when his horse became
frightened at some imaginary danger, (for,
being blind, it was unable to see a real bug
aboo,) and ran away, detaching the sleigh
with its occupants. He ran direct west on
Main with a speed at which no one would
suppose a blind horse would dare travel un
guided, and, probably, in his horse mind,
thinking that it was time to turn a corner,
when near Titus' barn, ran squarely into it,
literally knocking his brains ont.
