Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     The Canadaigna Journal of last week tells the following: “Along the sidewalk leading from the Globe Hotel to the hotel stable is a board fence. North of this fence is a yard where Mr. Decker frequently turns his horse loose for exercise. The ground in the yard next to the fence is a foot or two higher than the sidewalk. The horse occsionally stands there with his head over the fence. On Tuesday last the man who runs the Naples stage was passing along the walk. Just as he passed, the horse reached down his head, seized him by the coat collar, lifted him a foot or two from the ground, and, after shaking him a little, dropped him in the snow by the fence, and then scampered away, kicking up his heels.”
