On Wednesday evening of this week a
bevy of Independence damsels, intent on
a sleigh-ride and high old time generally,
procured team, sleigh, driver, &C, the
box of the sleigh beng about. large
enough for half of the rumber 1t con-
tanned. and embarked for point in the
country, distant about four or five miles
All went merry rs a marriage bell I'M
til they reached within mile of their
destination, when snap went tug, and
the team stopped. This was indeed a
predicament. Out on the broad prairie,
on frosty night, mile from any house,
snow foot and half deep, and no strong
arm to lean upon, we presume they pre-
sented picture of despair one seldom
sees. However, being courageous, (all In
dependence girls are), they commenced
their toilsome march through the snow,
and, in the course of time, reached the
wished-for haven of warmth. Upon
examination it was found that majority
of the young ladies had frozen their fing-
ers or feet-fortunately not seriously. and
warm fire soon made them all right
They reached home without further acct
dent.
MoRAL.--Girls, the next time you go
riding, look to the tugs. and be sure you
take someb )dy along who can take care
of you.
