a Word of Caution.

In q calm and serene state of
mind, we would offer little word
of caution TO our friends. of cy-
clone pit notoriety, in order that
they may guard against the fear
full sight, that occurred at the mill
of our mutual friend, Major
Is. II. Hood. The sad incident.
mildly referred to above, befell
that gentleman's gentleman COW
during the heavy rains that recent
ly visited us, and is as follows:
While in a benevolent frame of
mind, altogether admirable and
commendable. this gentleman with
a view Of protection to his labor
interest alone, no doubt, had an
unpublished excavation made down
into the bowels Of mother earth.
near his saw-mill, with an eye not
exactly single to the approach of
the next cyclone. He had, among
his working force, the aforemen-
toned little b-calf, which manip-
ulated saw-dust conveyance to
the infinite convenience of the
mill hands. During the continued
heavy rains of last week, the Ma
Jor foreseeing no especial and has
ty need of this cyclone proof, he
bethought himself Of making it a
temporary shelter for this very
useful little gentleman calf, and
forthwith led him into his den.-
The rain it poured, and finding
ready ingress into this convenient
"hole in the ground" soon be-
came source of uneasiness to
this much esteemed pet. The
Major finding it useless to try to
do anything under the flooded cir
cumstances at his mill betook him
self and all his force Except the
little b calf to some moro
eligible avocation, and left the bull
to the mercy of the elements. The
rain it poured, and soon the in
mate of this cyclone exterminator
found itself incapable Of sustain
ing life except by tip-toeing to
It's utmost. However, a timely
friend happened to arrive to
afford relief, and when lie beheld
the scene before him-the b.
yearling in the last efforts of self
preservation, swimming around in
a liliputian sea, blowing volumes
of water from his painting nostrils
twas enough to melt the most
hardened Of human kind, and he
forthwith proceeded to effect some
plan of deliverance, which was
soon done, and at once began
measures of recussitation, which
was the thawing out of the little
by before a big log fire. The |
Major will no doubt exercise more
caution as to where he stores
away his valuable g c. the
next time.
