EXCITING INCIDENT +!
A WOMAN IN GREAT PERRIL!!
UNCLE JESSE REsCUEs Herr.
| RAIL FRIEND IN NEED

During one of the heavy rains which
visited this region last week, the small
branch running through our old friend
JESSE EVANS farm, became very much
swollen, and swept logs. fence. rails,
brush, and everything within its reach,
whirling on its 'palpitating BOSOM
(supposed to be so from the fact of the
waves rising and falling excitedly)-
well, just about this time, lady arrived
on the brink of this little, but mighty
torrent, driving powerful horse to a
small buggy. She halted, and viewed
the turbulent stream--cast wishful eye
toward the opposite shore--spoke to
"Dobbin" an encouraging word, assisted
with vibratory motion of the lines
brought up.and. down on his back
with jerk, and he plunged, with his
precious freight into the flood! The
animal would have made the passage no
doubt, had not fate, in the shape of part
of a1tree top, struck him, when about
the middle and in the deepest part Of
turn square around, and the consequence
was that the shafts Of the buggy broke,
and away went the horse, leaving the
lady sitting in her buggy, and exercis-
ing her lungs calling for 'shelp1" Her
cries reached the ears of our old friend,
JESSE EVANS, who fastened to her relief.
After accommodating the perilous posi-
ton in which the woman was placed, he
seized fence rail-threw one end there
of on the hind part of the buggy and
letting the other rest on the bank-Un-
Gle Jesse reached forth his hand, and
grasped that of the lady, who arose and
walked out on that impromptu bridge as
safely as the children Of Israel did thro'
the red sea, and she stepped on dry land.
The moment her weight left the buggy,
over it went. and down the stream it
careened. until it lodged against a
friendly fence below, where, after the
flood had subsidized, it was taken out in
dilapidated condition, and at last &C
counts the woman, horse, and buggy
were safely at home, some five or six
miles from the city. 40
II Uncle Jesse was a young man, and
the rescued woman was young damsel,
this salvation from q watery grave might
result in pleasant romance-one of the
cit might have beens"-but, alas! it
wasn't to be so!
