A Hunt.


Our printers did not take hunt New
Years. We noticed this. They have
turned over a new leaf. Hunting and
holidays are to be associated in their
minds no longer, we suppose. A hunt
on holiday has been chronic with two
of our boys. They went out Thanksgiv-
ing; walked six or eight miles. In 60
ing across little creek the lucky one
found a narrow place and jumped over
The other thought he would save time
by crawling over tree fallen across the
stream. He not only lost time, but worse
his balance. The tree slipped up, and
as the icicles began to form on his cloth
ing there came out of his mouth sputter-
ings of water and words. From the gen.
eral style of the latter his partner sup
posed the foreman was referring to the Of
flee devil. But they both thought it beat
the devil, too. Game on the ground was
scarce, so one climbed a tree to get bet
ter shot at a squirrel. The tree is notice
ably top-heavy, but the shot did not have
any such effect upon the squirrel. They
were game-less and thankless that night.
These game fellows manfully braved the
cold and snow on Christmas, hoping to
retrieve their former fortunes and repu-
tation. They sunk into the hugh drifts,
entangled themselves in thickets, psed
up weeks stock of patience-that they
had laid by for the Office imp-and were
burdened with ammunition and weap-
ons only on their return trip. Four miles
of weary travel. Nota quail, not chick
en-, not anything but what represented
peace and quietude. We might have
kept this matter still, but it refers to the
intelligent cOmpositor, and we want to
show him that he knows what a still
hunt is after all. We were out one day,
and saw sign on the edge of some
woods. 1t read verbatim: mo hunting
aloud" We made an item of it, wonder
ing if the author was Democrat and was
favoring a ''still hunt" What was our
chagrin, on looking at the paper, to see
that the intelligent compOsitor, thinking
he had found an error in our spelling,
made the sign read, mo hunting allow
ed" 1t would have been better for those
typos if they had construed this phase
both ways and made it their motto be
fore they went out for game.
They have sworn off. Did it on the
first. The shotgun market is fat The
intelligent compositor is generally good
fellow; but there is only one kind of
shooting stick" that he can handle.
That belongs to the "chase" and not to
the hunt

Wednesday two little sons of John
Pope were bitten by savage dog, and
one of them was badly hurt. The young
est one, six years old, was playing with
the dog when the animal attacked him
biting him in the throat and about the
face. He came near severing the jugu.
lar vein. The other boy, aged eight
came to the rescue of his brother, when
he also was bitten. A gentleman driving
by hurried to the assistance of the boys

the wounds will result seriously.
