wHEELBARRoW RACE.

An evening contemporary says that on the
afternoon of the Fourth of July, there was
wheelbarrow race at the Phalanx, N. Jersey,
the men taking part therein being blind
folded. The ground in front of the hotel
slopes to a small lake, and has number of
trees. The wheelbarrows were placed upon
the border of the water at the foot of the
slope, and directly away from the point to
which the contestants were to 60. The eyes
of those who entered the list were then band
aged, and the master of ceremonies gave the
words: sReady! take hold of your wheel
barrows; about face! forward! A barrel
was placed in the drive before the hotel, and
the man whose vehicle should be found near
est this point when the drive in front of the
house was reached was to gain the victory.
Before being blindfolded, of course, each
contestant took fond, farewell look at the
barrel, endeavoring to fix the direction firm
ly in his mind. But when the words about
face was obeyed, most of them lost it; some
struck off in one direction and some in an
other, to the great merriment of the Specta'
tors who witnessed the important contest
from the balcony of the hotel. On one hand
blind mortal made an angle of forty-fve
degrees to the east, while on the other an
equally blind mortal made an equally ludic-
rous blunder in the opposite direction; and
in the centre the sightless array staggered on
like cohort of discouraged soldiers under
a heavy fire.
Now one Of them encountered tree in his
blind march, and is brought to stand still.
The shock not only produces an unpleasant
sensation in his arms, but quite confuses his
few remaining notions of the points of the
compass. He hesitates, turns in all direc-
tions to salty himself, and finally strikes off
on a course nearly opposite the point to be
gained. Now, again, man steps upon the
root of a tree and loses mis- footing and sense
of direction altogether; and now, in their
confused ramblings, two struggling competi-
tors meet each other, and get their wheel
barrows locked together. This conVinces

A GooD THING IN THE STORY LINE
Some years ago Cincinnati paper received
and printed the first chapter of what appear
ed to be most thrilling romance, in thu
expectation of being provided with the con
cludiug portions as might be needed. The
chapter was very ingeniously written, and
concluded by leaving the principal character
supended by the pantaloOns from the limb
of tree over perpendicular precipice. II
attracted the attention Of the press, and
inquiries began to be made concerning the
continuation or the fate Of its hero. Day
after day the victimized publishers looked
for the remaining chapters, but in vain
They never come to hand. Finding thai
they had been sold, and wishing to put q
stop to the jokes their cotemporaries were
cracking at their expense, they briefly con
cluded the story thus:

CHAPTER II-CoNCLUsIoN.

After hanging to the treacherous tree for
four weeks, his panta!oons gave way, and
Charles Melville rolled headlong over the
yawning precipice.
He fell distance of five miles, and came
down with the small of his back across
stake and rider fence, which so injured
him that he was compelled to travel in Italy
for his health, where he is at present resi-
ding. He is engaged in the butchering
business, and is the father Of large family
of children.
