THE RESCUE.

They found the ewes huaJ.cd together in
dense body, under ten feet OF snow
packed SO closely that, to the amazement of
the shepherds, when they bad extricated
the first, the whole flock walked out one
after smother, in . body, through tho hole.
How they got them home it is difficult to
tell. II was now noon, and they sometimes
could see through the storm for twenty
yards but they had only one glimpse ofthe
hills through oil that terrible day. Yet Hogg
persisted n going by himself afterwards to
rescue some hocks Of his own, barely es-
Gaping with his life; his eyes were sealed
up with the storm, and he crossed formid-
able torrent, without knowing it, on q
wreath Of snow. Two Of the others lost
themselves in a deep valley, ard would have
persisted but for being accidentally heard
by a neighboring shepherd, who guided
them home, where the female portion ofthe
family had abandoned ali hopes OF ever
seeing them again.
The next day they set forth again TO
seek the remainder of the flock. The face
Of the country was perfectly transformed
not bill. brook or lake could be rscogniz-
ed. Deep glens were filled with snow, COY
ssing the very tops Of trees, and over Z
hundred acres of ground. under an average
depth Of eight feet. they were 10 look for
four or five hundred sheep. The attempt
weuld have been hopeless but for dog that
accompanied them. Seeing their perplsxi-
~. he began smiling about, and presently
scratching the snow ats certain point, and
then looking around at his master. Digging
ct the spot they found . sheep beneath
and so the dog led them oil day, bounding
from one place to another, much faster than
they could dig the creatures out, 20 that he
sometimes had twenty or thirty holes mark
ed beforehand.
In this way, within . week they got GU,
every sheep on the farm, except six, these
last being buried under mountain Of snow
fifty feet deep, on the top Of which the dog
had marked their places again and again
In every case the sheep proved to be alive
and warm, though halt-su6ocated. On being
taken out they usually bounded away swift
~, and then fell heplessly in . few mo
ments, overcome BY the cnange Of atmos-
phere some OF them died almost instantly,
and others we're carried home end with
difficulty preserved, only about sixty being
lost in all.
The country people unanimously agreed
afterward to refer the whole terrific storm
10 some secret nominations Of poor Hogg's
literary society aforesaid it was generally
maintained thata club Of young daredevil
had raised the tend himself among them in
the likeness Of black dog the night precs-
ding the storm and the young students
actually did not dare 10 show themselves q

JAMES Ho0G's NARRATIVE.

The most remark able narrative OF snow
storm is that written by James llogg, the
Ettrick Shepherd, which took place January
"A, 1890. james Hogg, at this tune, be-
longed to = sort Of literary society Of young
shepherds, and had set out the day previ-
Gus to walk twenty miles over the hills to
the place Of meeting but so formidable was
the look Of the sky that he felt an xious for
his sheep, and finally turned back again.
There Was ~ this time only slight fell Of
snow in thin flakes, which seemed uncertain
whether to 20 up or down; the hills were
covered with deep folds Of frost fog, and in
the valleys the same fog seemed dark, dense
and, a. it were, crushed together.
An old shepherd, predicting . storm.
bade him watch for . sudden opening
through this fog, and expect wind from
that quarter; yet, when he saw such an
opening suddenly form Al midnight (having
then reached HE own home), be thought
| il oil . dslusion, Is the weather had grown
| milder, and thaw seemed setting in. He
| therefore went 10 bed, and felt no more
anxiety for HE sheep; yet he lay awake in
spite Of himself. and ct two o'clock he
heard the storm begin. II smote tho house
suddenly, like great peal Of thunder
somsthisg utterly unlike any storm he had
ever before heard On his rising and thrust
| ing his bare arm through hole in tho roof
it seemed precisely AS if he had thrust i,
| into a snow bank, so densev was the air
fl led with the falling and driving particles
He lay still Tor IN hour, while the house
rocked with the tempest, hoping It might
prove only hurricane but IS there was
no abatement, he awakened his compani N
shepherd, telling him it was "come on such
a night OF morning as never blew from The
heavens" The other at once arose, and
opening the door Of The shed where they
slept, found q drift a. high ~ The farm
house already heaped between them and ito
walls, . distance Of only fourteen yards
lie houndered through. Hogg soon follow
ing, ard finding ali the family up, they
agreed that they must reach the sheep az
soon as possible, especially eight hundred
ewes that were in one lot together, At the
farthest end Of the farm. So after family
prayer and breakfast, four Of them stuffed
their pockets with bread aud cheese, sewed
their plaids about them, tied down theiI
hats, and, taking each his stall, set out or
their tremendous undertaking, two hours
before day.
Day dawned before they got three hun
dred yards from the house. They could moi
see each other, and kept together with tbs
greatest difficulty. They had to max,
paths with their slaves, roll themselve.
over drif,I otherwise impossible, and every
three or four minutes hal to hold theil
heads down between their knees to recover
breath. They went in single file, takioe
the lead by turns. The master soon gave
out, and was Speechless and serni-consco Gus
for more than an hour, though he after
wards recovered and held out with the rest
Two OF them lost their bead gear, and Hogs
himself fell over high precipice, but they
reached tie .lcck at half-past 10 o'clock.

A choir in one Of the fashionable church
es IF Dubuque selected a grand overture
for the occasion, one that was full OF heav-
emily melody, and which was intended to
bring up the congregation all standing.
The singing commenced but the keys OF the
organ responded with the most fearful dis
cord. The squalling OF brace OF cats
strung across a clothes line would be love-
~ in comparison. Some one had been
tampering with the instrument, and the
organist charged it at once to chap who
had played the same joke on him few
months before. Like the minister, how
ever. who swore that he could slick the
man who soaped his horn" the organist
swears that he can lick the fellow who
put bran in his instrument and he will
probably do it.
