Jake Willard and the Blind Horse.--A
Laughable Story.

The Mobile Register is responsible
for the following mirth-proyoking Incl
dent:
For twenty-three years, old Jake
Willard has cultivated the soil of Bald
win county, and drawn therefrom a
support for self and wife. He is child
less. Not long ago, Jake left the
house in search of a missing cow. His
route led him through an old worn out
patch of clay land, of about six acres
in extent, in the center of which was a
we'll, twenty-five or thirty feet deep
that at some time, probably had furn-
ished the inmates of a dilapidated
house near by with water. In passing
by this spot, an i'll wind lifted Jake's
title" from his head, and maliciously
waited it to the edge of the well, and
in it tumbled.
Now Jake had always practiced the
virtue of economy, and he Immediate
ly sat about recovering the lost hat.
He ran to the well, and finding it was
dry at the bottom, be uncoiled the rope
which he had brought with him for the
purpose of capturing. the COW, and af,
ter several attempts to catch the hat
with a moose, he concluded to save
time by going into the well himself. To
accomplish this he made fast one end
of the rope to stump hard by, and
was quickly on his way down the well.

obliyious than the reader hereof, that
Ned Wells was in the dilapidated build.
ing aforesaid, and that an old blind
horse, with bell on his neck, who had
been turned out to die, was lazily graz
ing within short distance of the well
The devil himself or some other
wicked spirit put it into Ned's cranium
to have little fun, SO he quietly slipped
up to the old horse, and unbucbled the
bell-strap, approaching with slow
measured ting-a-ling" to the edge o.
the well,
