PLEASURES OF FREEZING
Jasper Perley's Narrow Escape
from Death i'm the OIL

From the Bradford Era: Jasper
Perley, Cattaraugus county farm

sible in the bottom of his sleigh.
He vas rubbed with snow and 9th
erwise treated to revive the clrcula-
tion. After q good deal Of thor.
ough manipulation and rubbing Per
ley was brought around, when few
doses of whisky sufficed to restore
him tc nearly his normal condition.
He thanked his restorers very heart
lily, and gave an account or his mis-
fortune, which affords some inkliug
or the sensations of people who
freeze to death.
When he felt no longer able TO
hold the reins with any grip he de-
termined TO seek shelter in the first
house until we'll warmed. HE
tongue became stiff, then his arms,
sharp chills ran down his back, and
finally it seemed as though his
whole body was being congealed,
causing an almost total Cessation OF
the hearts action. This condition
of extreme suffering and despond-
ency speedily gave place to feel,
ing of grateful warmth, suffusIng
the system and causing an exhila
rating glow. BY this time he had
reached house. bat he drove on,
thinking that nothing was now 20 b.

crawling along at q snaIrs pace,
appeared to glide through the
air with great swiftness, ahd the
horses fairly dew like pigeons. A
sense of exultation filed the Catta
raugus farmers breast as he urged
the horse to still greater speed, anu
the woods on either eide we're
passed so quickly that they bscame
indistinguishsble black lines. Theu
the sleigh bells sounded fainter and

An Ohio Farmers Opinion Of Giles
County, woi YT ]

Mr.. John Decker, a farmer o!
Bellevue. Ohio, who passed through
Giles county on a prospecting tour
early in January, writes to his
home paper, the Bellevue Record. as
| follows: sa- qae eve
Arrived at Pulaski, the county
seat OF Giles county, ON the morn
ing of the End of January. 1t has
a population OF $500 people, very
kind and sociable, and the tizens
take special pains to introduce and
show strangers the city. This is a
great cotton center for the sur
rounding country. Cotton and
corn are the staple products. There
is one lodge OF the X. of III. here
and which mine host OF the St
Giles hotel is member, and more
genial landlord on this trip in the
south | have not found. l had a
very interesting chat with the edi-
tor of TIE PULASKI CITIZEN, who
takes a great interest in the emigra-
tion Of northern citizens and the
general Improvement of the sur
rounding country. January 3rd,
being the first Monday in the
month, it is a day always set apsrt
bJ the farmers to meet at the coun-
ty seat to sell and exchange horses
and mules. l suppose there were
from 500 to l 900 in town to trade
and see the trades made; every de-
scription Of stock in the horse and
mule line could be seen. They have
some as fine saddle horses as / ever
saw; nearly all travel Is done on
horseback left Pulaski and trav-
rled south on foot to Elkton, near
the Alabama line. TINS country is
generally very fertile, rolling val
leys mostly, and is planted to corn
and cotton in their seasons. There
is an abundance of timber on the
hills, black walnut, beach, ash and
hickory. Blue grass grows to per
fection, and stock requires bnt little
atte alton. / saw a great many hogs
running in the woods feeding on
beech nuts and were all fat foI
pork without corn.
On the night of the 4th / stayed
with Mr.. Dick Bsugh, perfect gen
| tleman. a cotton planter who took
special pains to show me around
and explain tt.eir modes of farming.
His mules in Ohio would bring $500
per pair. He has the best lot OF
Cotswold sheep that have seen.
Durieg the night it rained and in
the morning it was somewhat IN
pleasant to travel. Mr.. Baugh went
with me to his brothers, about a
mile distant, who has steam en-
CINE to which he has attached q
corn and saw mill, also q cotton gin.
He has q plantation of 500 acres I;
gins his own cotton and that of his
neighbors. ginning about 10 bales a
day at $3.50 per bale. He also takes
great interest in stock, has some
very fiue Berkshire hogs and Dur
ham cattle, one bull weight G 2,I00.
Next day. 1t being muddy, having
rained all night, MIR. Bsugh kindly
sent me on horseback to Prospect,
distance of 10 miles, passing over
hills and valleys, some as rich hot
tom lands as ever saw. At Pros
pect, after travelling four days on
foot, and the roads being bad, l
took the railroad for Montgomery,
Alabama. .a

The Strangest Duel on RECORD.

Two Drotners, Auguste and Andre
Berni, the former aged 40, and the
latter 33, both employed in the
great glass mandatory at Saint
Denis. near Paris, became enarn-
ored of Adele Vergeri, a cook at
Villetto. She received the visits
of the brothers with much sang
froid. To her it was amusing TO
see first one, then the other, come
putting and blowing In his desire TO
be the first to greet her. Neither
would give in to the other. aud
Adele had to escort them both out,
as neither would leave the other
alone with -er. So terrible became
the jealousy between the brothers
that they would not speak with
each other. 1t had, however, to be
settled at last. Adele threatened
that, unless their .courtship ceased to
Oe mixed with hatred she would
have to ask the brothers to desist
from calling upon her. The broth
ers met. They had parted from
Adele, and both confronted each
other in one of the great wine
shops OF the Saint Denis quarter,
so appropriately called by Zola
"Assommoir,' They glared at
each other, and their friends saw at
once that mischief was brewing.
They finally motioned TO each 9th
er 10 Withdraw to table. They
spoke low, but excitedly, smoked
quickly, and the blue smoke OF
their pipes was hot.
"A duel! Yes, a duelp' This was
distinctly heard, and then the
brothers beckoned to Jules Bemi
and Alfred Poulier, friends of
theirs. They had decided upon
fighting a duel; but not with
swords or pistols. 1t was to be
duel to the death.
Two bottles OF rum were put up
on the table. Two tumblers ware
set by the side of the bottles, anu
then this contract was made by th
brothers in the presence of wit
nesses:
ut is agreed between the broth
ers Auguste and Andre Berni to
drink rum until either is unable to
drink any more. The first who
succumbs will consider himself
beaten, and surrender all claims to
Adele Yergeri."
The contract was signed, the bot
ties tipped, and the tumblers filled.
At first the men drank slowly, but,
as the liquor began TO excite their
brains, they fairly poured it down
their throats, At the ninth glass,
Auguste, the younger of the broth
ers, gave g yell of pair and fell
'senseless. Andre Berni then arose,
and, with smile on his face, turned
to leave. Hardly had he reached
the door of the cabaret when he
threw up his hands and fell sense
less. He was quickly carried to
the hospital. but died shortly after
reaching it of concussion OF the
brain and paralysis OF the heart.
Auguste Berni, crszed by the rum
he had drank, recovered from his
faint, ran madly through the
streets, uutil reaching the river
Seine, he threw himself into the
water. and was drowned before as
sistance could reach him.
