bama last spring with southern friend,
we were delayed by the rough roads so
that we reached a difficult iording place
after dark. Ny companion who was bet.
ter acquainted, in ven,uring to swim the
creek first, fell from his horse and was
carried by the current among the brush
wood below; while the animal turning
round, made his way to The bank from
whence he started The ardor of my
friend was somewhat dampened by the
accident, and after he reached lie dry
land we decided to make our way back to
a dwelling we had left some Two mil
behind. The warm mir of a May night
compensated in part for our mishap, aud
we reached the cabin, glad tina, our luck
was no worse. An old negro woman and
a "quantity' Of children were gathered
around the fire Of Iighlwood stump, and
pack Of dogs from under the house came
baying furiously toward US. with the good
effect Of bringing the master Of the house
TO the door.

"Well,we amt 50 mighty fine here; but
you've had smart chance of travel, and

While the landlord and my companion
were taking care of the horses, | began
10 survey the premises, and commenced
with endeayoring 10 count the children,

he could furnish us for supper.

a few hunting stories, and brought his

said I, adopting the old mans provincial

NY previous examination Of the premises
had appraised me that we we're occupying
the parlor, siting-room, kitchen, dormlio-
ries and all, aud that there were but two
beds. The old gentleman pointed us to
one of them, and in few minutes we were
in n sound sleep. The people and the
children were of course accommodated

that heard ar ominous rustling under our
bed during the night!
This reminds ne Of Il friend and his
lady, who having put up for the night
while travelling in Georgia, were shown
an apartment where there we're several
beds. On retiring, our friend thought II
prudent to securely fasten the door OF
their sleeping-room About midnight, he
and his lady were suddenly awakened by
a violent rafting at the door. The assal'
ants, finding an entrance denied them at
that point, were by no means repnlsed;
bu, scaling the beams and removing Il
loose plank, like the occupants Of The
ancient Trojan house, let themselves down
from aIon; and our friend at day-break,
instead of having fallen among thieves
and robbers, found himself surrounded by
the young people ofthe house, who hav'
ing been out at party, had returned at
an unusa late hour.

woods near the line between Tennessee
and Kentucky, in long cabin l6 by 10

his infancy he was fed on hog aud homIny,

steps in mechanical arts he became able,
by his own unassisted skill, to rear house
from the clay-pt or from the stump, and
complete it in all its parts, and to do It,
too, in Il manner that none Of his COMPETE

this day the wonder aud admiration of all

into other elementary works. And having
thus, by great diligence, acquired the

an old lawyer who had quit practice, or

he made bargain for his scanty library,

FATAL ACCIDENT. A young lrishman
was killed in Wendell on Wednesday last,
by the sliding of the bank Of one of the
deep cuts on The Vermont and Mass
achuse,ts Railroad. He was covered
with earth to the depth of four feet,
and a comrade who was near him
was buried in a standing position, up
to his neck. The Greenfield Democrat
states that the Irish friends Of the latter,
in their haste to extricatc him from his
uncomfortable confinement, were about
Mtching chain around his neck, with a
view to pull him out by horse power
They were prevented, and he was shoveled
out without injury. Such slides have
occurred frequently, and numbers of the
laborers have been injured by them.
