Twas about an accident that happen
ed to bridal party, as they descended
the river hill en- route for Tazewell.
IT would appear, from what facts I can
gather, that as they approached Squire
Tom Davis's, (who lives at the head of
the hill, a mile from Powel's rivCT,) the
Squire rose from his chair and walked
to his front gate; aside the chair, upon
which he had been seated, was another,
upon which some children had placed
blown up pigs bladder to dry. After
look ing at the ''pomp," and considering
the circumstance, he became distract
and sat down on the wrong chair. The
explosion could have been heard for
miles. Davis, forgetting the bladder,
thought he had exploded, and frantic
with fright, rushed through the house
and out on back porch, where stood
an old fashioned barTel-churn, at which
he tilted, and man and churn telescop-
ing rolled off the porch. Such was his
speed, and the hardness of his head, that
the aperture measurement was beauti-
full, and the churn shifting, Davis's jaw
locked the concern like bayonet. They
had to cut his head off to save the churn.
But this was not all. That miserable
busted bladder stampeded the horses Of
the bridal party, and in few moments
everything went to sticks. The groom
was thrown several yards, and alighted
in a sitting posture, naturally opening
his mouth. The bride, who was COM
ing after him, on ti0ae and dosO2 grade,
had scarcely time TO call out, "shut your
mouthP' when she took him in the right
bicusp. After a pause he remarked,
