WHAT ONE BULLET TO BAsKErrUL

WHAT ONE BULLET to- BAsKETrUL ?
An incident occurred in the battle of Frank
lin which have never seen in print. The
sangulnary battle was at its height and now
and then there was a soldier who would not
face the music, and, holding on TO the idea
that distance lends enchantment," on all
such occasions would exhibit his faith in the
idea by taking leg bail for the rear. These
cases were getting too numerous toward the
close Of the battle. and Col B,
OF our brigade, WAS sent back to the rear to
intercept these seeking for safety and return
them to their respective posts Of duty.
Col. b said he hailed one fellow who
was making tracks for some place of safety
with all the energy of despair.
Halt say. and return to your com
mand :"
The flying son of Mars took no notice of
the command.
Halt | say. and go back to your post
The soldier paid no attention to him.
The colonel now became exasperated. and
yelled out
IF you don't turn and 60 back TO your
command, will shoot you, sir -
Without pausing in his flight the soldier
yelled back to him
Shoot and be hanged What's one bullet
to a basketball"
Col: b let him 60. and after the battle
told the incident as good Joke.

lost one OF the best horses probably ever
raised IN Vermont. The name of the horse
was "Nightshade. a stallion six years old
weight !, 200 pounds, stood 10 hands and IA
inches high, was jet black with a small
white star in forehead, and was magnifi-
cent animal. The horse had been condi-
tionally sold for So. 900 to trot in 2:26 next

confident he could have made had he lived.

Jones Brothers and some of the circum-
stances attending his death have an un.
favorable appearance, as we get them from
the owner. Mr.. Hatch. He says the horse,
so far as be can learn, was in perfect
health and feeling well on Monday morn
ing, Feb. %, when Frank and Henry
Jones, in company with their brOther-in-
law, Martin, started from WIllsborO. The
next he learns CT them was some I've lilies
farther on and the horse was sick. They
were in Port Henry about noon, and leav-
ing there they led the horse across the AXE,
urging him along although growing worse
all the time. When they reached the YER
mont side. the animal was ridden a major
portion of the way through the deep snow
banks to Mr.. Hatch's residence, the horse
having been driven 30 miles that day. The
owner saw at once his horse was unwell
and called their attention to the matter but
they stoutly asserted tina: he was in good
health and nothing the matter with him. at
the same time pressing the matter of q
little balance their due which they wished
to secure and return at once to York
State. But Mr.. Hatch insisted upon
their remaining till after supper, during
which his hired man came in and informed
him his horse was dying. They repaired at
once to the barn, the men still protesting
that the horse was "ali right" and soon af-
ter two of them returned home, Frank Jones

The price Of tobacco is reported very
low, being for the whole country an aver
age Of S 6 cents per pound on Dec. |, 1878.
This price is mainly the result OF an over
stock Of poor tobacco last year. The tota.
amount exported and manufactured in 1877
was littls above 1863 900 geo pounds. The
average for 1878 was rs per cent of 1877.
The quality of tobacco produced was
generally better and heayier, making the
yield FER acre rather more than that of the
previous year. The total crop of 1873 is
