tragic end on Monday evening last. He

horse ran from the dog, and in his Taco
jumped over it pile of ties !near the rail-
way track. When alighting, he slinpea
and fell, striking his head ingainet a rail-
way ear which was standing on the track,
killing him- instantly. Pileon was,
at
one time, a horse of considerable note in
sporting circles. He was raised in the
vicinity of Chatham, and was owned for
scnrije years in Brantford. He trotted
on he Hamilton course and made a rec-

while a couple ofoung men were driv-

ATTEMPTED Bu Ltnizs,-Quite a fu-

Thewoul -be rob ers were doubtless in -

effect, as thee fello v staggered a moment,
and exclaimed 'O, I'm shot," and then
lie and his companion hastened away.
They returned- ain, however, some
time after, and tr.ed to pick the lock of
the front door, but were again heard and.
frightened away. On Tuesday evening
they attempted Io enter the residence,
of Mr, David, (whp was away from home)
by raising a window, but Mrs. David
awakening. she called lustily for help
when they fled. They next tried the
residence of Mr. Humble,- but were
again alarmed, and even chased by some
men, who, however, did not catch them.
On two different occasions they raised a
window in the house of, Mr. Jackman,
but he hearing them, put his head from
the window and a4ked what they wanted
when the robbers gave no answer, but
left. On Thursday last, two men were
arrested at a late hour, on suspicion of
having something
to do with these at-
tempts, and they were brought before
the Mayor and examined. Although
nothing was prov d against them, they
could give no s tisfactory account of
themselves, and ere accordingly com-
mitted to jail as cmmon vagrants, one
for three and the iother for one month.
