The wrong Way to PlcS up n Swapping Iur-
[Frosl the Danbury News. ]

From the Danoury NeWsl
A man named Gilssy, who by strict economy
and severe industry has succeeded in getting
his family little place, free of incumbrance,
was fishing in Still river, near the Beaver brook
mills, on Sunday afternoon. After sitting ON
the bank for a couple of hours without CATCH
ing an ything, he was gratihed to see on stone
in the water swapping turtle summing himself.
The butt end of the turtle was toward him, and
he thought he would capture it, but While he
was locking for place to step, the turtle grave,
ly turned around without his knowledge, and
when he got in reaching distance, and b'nt
down to take hold of what nature designed
should be taken hold OF while han fling a snapp-
irg turtle, that sociabe animal just reached out
and took hold OF Mr.. Gilsey's hand with grasp
that left no doutt ofits sincerity. The shrleks
OF the unfortunate man aroused some OF the
neghbor, but wLeh they arrived it was TOO
late to be of any benefit to him, or even to them-
selves, for they just caught glimpse OF pare
headed man tearing over the hill, swinging
small carpet-hAg in one hand, and they at once
concluded that It was narrow escape from q
highway robbery. However, it was not carpet
bag he was swinging; it was that turtle, and 1t
cung to him until he reached the White street
bridge, when it let go; but the frightened man
did not slacken his gait until he got nome.
When he reached the house the ludicrousness
of the affair burst upon him, and when his wire,
looking at his pHle face and bare head, and
dust-begrimed Clothes asked BIN what was the
matter he said Nothing was the matter, only
he was afraid he would be too late for church,
and appeared to be much relieved to find that
he wasn't.
