I saw an honest farmer trimming an
Usage hedge over in Henry country. 1t is
q very peculiar operation, and l listened
with q great deal of interest Isay listen
ed, because the interesting feature of trim
ming a hedge consists not so much in what
the farmer does a. in what he says The hon
est farmer had crooked knife on the end
of hoe-handle. He stuck this into the
hedge and gave il jerk.
Then he said.
"Ah!"
Then he jerked again and down came a
hedge switch. Then he said:
'Ah-h."
Then he took hold Of the wIthered switch
and drew it away from the hedge Then
he put his thumb in his mouth, and stood
on one foot, and said:
''Ah-h-H-H."
Then he once more unto the breach, dear,
dear friends. made another prod with his
hook. and said. loudly:
"Gee-whizz!"
Then he jerked at a wicked-looking
branch with his hook, and reared:
Great snakes!"
Then he pulled out crooked branch. so
full of thorns that it made young Jack
ache TO look at it, and when he stumbled
over it, and it wrapped itself around his
legs, he stood still for second, then
dropped his hook, lifted his hands to heay-
en- and screamed:
20! bloody murder"
The next rake he made he brought a
whole top of hedge-plaht with Eve or six
branches right down On his back Then
he threw his hedge-hook clear across ten
acre field, opened his mouth thrice in
voicele-s gasp. spread his arms out and fell
down fiat on his face. dug his toes into the
turf. drummed on the turf in agony with
his clenched fists and walled like q storm

patched two couricrs, one to Camp Supply and Bowie, and another to Huachuca Lient Bloxon, with his company of Indian scouts, left Bowie on the evening of the 9th, with a view of cutting the trail which Bailey was following. The courier who reported at Huachuca states the Indians, after taking the animals at Wallen, travelled in the direction of Camp Huachuca for almost two miles. aud then turned down the Barbacomari towards the San Pedro, then up the San Pedro some 30 or 40 miles, and then crossed between the San Jose and Mule mountains. They then struck out in the direction of Chiracahua.
 The trail showed there were sixteen in the band, and about twenty-five head of stock. At distance of Sev- enty-fve miles from the point they crossed the San Pedro, the band sep arated, the main body going to Chihuahua, the remainder scattering off, with a portion of the stolen stock. The Indians were travelling at the rate of five to six miles an hour Lieut.. Bailey, was reinforced with fresh horses, ten additional and six days rations, and about fifteen volun- teer citizens, and is again on the trail; and from the pluck of both himself and Blockson, we have reason to be- lieve they will follow the murderous thieving devils as long as the endur- ance of their stock lasts, and if it comes to fight, the result will be de- cisive.-Star.
