SAD OeouRRENcE-A Young Han
Mistaken for Wild Turkey and
KSlled.-Saturday last, Nov. 26tA,
Messrs. Milton Meese and Alden 8.
Keefer went out hunting Wild turkeys.
About the same time Mr.. Aaron VIII
helm and his son, Norman, residing
about a mile away-all in Garrett
countrywide went out. Neither party
knew the other was abroad. The
Messrs. Wilhelm separated after a
time, the younger killing turkey
and scattering flock. After resting
awhile with some nen at one of the
lumber camps near by, he concluded
that the turkeys had probably come
down from the trees, and started out
again. He gave call which was
answered. Stationing himself bshind
a large tree with his gun thrust for
ward, he soon heard q rustic in the
bushes short distances away. Peer
ing from behind the tree he saw, as
he supposed, the dark breast OF the
anticipated turkey took instant aim
and fred. The next moment he heard
a man halloo. He ran to the spot
TT
and found to his horror young Ksefsr
dying The ball had entered the left
breast lust above the collar r-bone and,
ranging downward, passed through
his lungs to the spinal region. He
lived but few moments. Mssse was
by Keefsr's side when the fatal shot
was fired. There appears to be no
doubt that the death Of Ksefsr was
accidental he sad Wilhelm were
reared together and were friends.
Keefer was in his 18th year. Will
helm is greatly distressed over the sad
affair. The call and the answer led
each to think the other was turkey,
and under the circumstances Will
helms life was probably as greatly
imperiled as Kesfer's.

ONLY Two BovINEs. ..-One of cur
popular business men was badly
frightened last Sunday evening by a
funny circumstance. Hearing noise
in his cellar he went down without a
lamp to investigate. In the gloom he
saw four round bright lights which
his imagination conjured up into the
eyes Of two panthsrs. He tried to
"beat a retreat" but in his efforts be-
came entangled with boxes and bar
rels, and ere he knew it was lying
fiat on his back with the balls Of fire
within foot of his face. The situa-
tion was alarming-he could feel the
hot breaths of the bloodthirsty beasts,
something touched his side, probably
tho paw of one of the panthers what
must he do2 His hair had assumed
a perpendicular position; he thought
of his business and his little ones and
the mental query came up--"Must I
die thus without trying to defend
myself? Mol" But with an effort
born of desperation he managed to
call out to his clerk: "Claudius, come
down here, darned quick - The
clerk, who was in the room overhead,
happening to hear his despairing cry
quickly thrust butcher knife be.
tween his teeth and with shot gun
in one hand and candle in the
other FASTENED down into the gloomy
depths of the cellar and there found
his employer with great beads Of per-
spiration upon his forehead and gasp
ing for breath. The light from the
candle shone upoa the supposed
panthers which turned out to be the
merchants two COWS that had been
locked in the cellar by mistake. To
say our business friend was angry il
but putting it mildly, and he vented
his spleen upon ths clerk by kicking
him upstairs.

WHITAKER ONCE MORE.

The court martial appointed to try
Cadet Whitaker for scratching his own
ears, tying himself to the bedstead, ac.
cttshI.s other cadets of these great o1lea-
ces and playing 'possum and coon games
generally, is a court created to acquit if
acquittal be in any way whatever possi-
BILE; and yet we have no doubt it will
find the accused guilty on every charge
against him. Even if gentlemen have
commanded colored regiments-perhaps
even more on that account-they can
perceive tue relation of the motives in
vclved to the facts shown. and the real
nub of the case lies in that relation. Il
is not necessary, moreover, TO have been
brought up at West Point to be able to
Judge upon evidence the conduct of hy.
pocritical rogue. 1t can be plainly shown
that certain acts were done; that no per-
son but Whitaker can be in the remotest
degree connected with them; that he
could have done them; that he had mo
tive to do them, and that he cannot ex-
plain his relation to them on any theory
consistent with his innocence. That is
enough. But whatever may happen to
Whitaker, the intention of the admins
tration toward General Schofeld, the ev-
ident desire to put that fine old soldier
sin hole" is none the less clear. It
does not seem to be the noblest encour-
agement to heroic endeavors that a man
who has fought so much and so well for
the country as he has and rendered it
such excellent service in other spheres
should SO late in life find himself put in
a balance against a shabby, cheating,
scalawag schoolboy.
