IA One Of those annoying, yet ludicrous &C
I cidents, which will happen in the best of
6milies, occurred on Saturday, not over a
thousand miles from this city. A dry
goodaclerk had on engagement To take
Me lady love out buggy riding. Early in
the morning he appeared before her fa-
tbSrsdeor, with one of thosesHderfike
toAElks, which are probably constructed
with view Of ascertaining how light a
buggy can be made, and at the same time
be servcable. 5fse
The lady is sweet sixteen, beautiful, and
Just little bit of what is termed fast"
She is full OF life, fun and frolic, and is
decidedly en- bon o Oh weighing about
one hundred and forty-fve pounds. As
the young gentleman drove up, his lady
love was standing on the top step in front
Of the door with her venerable father, who
had his gold specs elevated on his FORE
head in order to get a.distant view Of his
future son-in-law.
Adonnis jumped out Of the buggy pre-
pau9ry tor assisting thesy0ung Ady1n,
but AheAndd denly took one Of those atrahge
freaks to which the dear sex are all subject.
The buggy was standing about four feet
from the steps and considerably below the
step on which stood the young lady. She
prSh2DH SinNeds TO- ednvines her lover
that she was not clumsy if she was fat,
and thought this would be good time to
show him ialr aeihtyaH 1E8a That ms it may,
she gave jump and landed in the center
of the buggy. If she had stopped there,
lN Weult3 have been well but alas b ct&@
thin boards in tile bottom Of the buggy,
unable to stand the pressure, gave way,
and the young lady continued der de-
scent. There was a piercing scream; a
prancing horse with a young man holding
Rssas s G Ff sssig ps as ssss 4
withialsix inches of the ground Under it.
Pater families rushed, to the rescue and de-
tached the horse from the buggy. He
tAep. got .upr on one side the young man
s8@eUtasrs ana they attempted. Is g raiss
the young lady up. 80, stop, stop! you
ore killing me, she cried.
The boards had broken in the center,
and the long, sharp splinters extended
downward, and whsns theJ attempted TO
% hsr these sa s
mel and try TO pYll it opt. You will then
was in on Sunday morning. The old man
comprehended Shes sisiation in a moment
Ae told the young man to get down and
break the, ssplinters off. Young lady
screamed, "Oh, DON'T and youna man
wouldn't At TIPS stage Of the proceeding
practical neighbor came up with hatch
Ct agd the young lady was soon extracted
from her unpleasant situation, and disap-
peared behind the front door.
I'VE don't know whether the young lady
sustained any serious injury or not, and
we are not going to ask any questions of
