One of thein in shooting his marble, cleverly pat it under the gentleman's foot. ïhe gentleman slipped and etumbled against a lady, also passing, precipitating her along with hirnself upon a hog who was xamininor the gutter geologically for debris. The hog, frightoncd out of his propriety, bolted off, and ran between the legs of another gentleman, who, in failicg, drew the string of a kite from the hands of a boy. The kite of eourse feil, and in falling, frightened a span of horses attached toa wagon in an alley aear by. The horses ran down the alley. A man was building a firo in a carpenter shop by vrhkih they passed, started up to see what was the matter. and in doing so dropped his lighted match among the shavings. A íire was the consequenoe. Tlie. engines asaemfoled, and, in the hurry consequent upon the alarm, a man feil in tli3 traek of oue of them, and had his arm broken, whioh ended this budget of accidents for the day.
