It 18 scldom that a four-horse team runs *-away, but one tried it yesterday morning, with oor succesa und utier dlscomfiture to the ideaders, The team was attached to s carryall, ond started fromm Bouth Water strect, near Btate, while stauding aloue, aud ran ata tearing goit down River street. They wero demoralized on reaching a plleof bricksana timber, the leader on the “port side ¥ falllog down and bringing the *starbourd”" house on top of him. The wheel-horses kept their hoofs, The only dam- age done was to tho harness.

John Harvey, reslding at tho corner of Kingsburg and Iudiana streets, was badly Kick- ot and trunpled on about tho head. By the time the polico heard of the affalr, it was all over, aud the perpetrators, whoever they were, had cscaped.
