In q TigIlt Place,

S. II. Farrow, of Charlotte, N. c.,
tells how a dog and a rabbit on his
farm got themselves into queer
scrape. The rabbit ran into hole,
under lot of roots, and the dog in
trying to get at the rabbit, stuck his
head in the hole, and became fastened
about the neck in such manner that
it was impossible for him to get his
head out.
The dog had been missing from
home exactly ten days, when he was
accidentally discovered by a little negro
who was walking through the field.
Assistance was procured and the dog
was released from his painful situation,
but so weak and exhausted that he
staggered about as if drunk.
The rabbit was found dead in the
bottom of the hole. Having been un-
able to escape, it died Of starvation in
sight of the unfortunate dog,
This incident is interesting as an il
lustration of dogs powers of endur-
ance. The dog drank and ate freely
on reaching the house, and is now as
strong and active as ever but he has
no use for rabbits, refusing to run one
that was turned loose at his nose.

THE cyclone pits which some Western
farmers are building are described as be-
ing in size proportionate to the number OF
persons in the family. A pit ten feet
square and sunk to the depth of twenty
feet is the average size. About four feet
below the surface heavy timbers are
placed over the hole, earth is thrown on
and made even with the surface around,
and at the southeast corner an opening
three feet square is left. In these places
of refuge the farmers expect to find safety
in any gale that doesn't blow the wells
out of the ground. The rascally radicals
might advantageously construct similar
pits for use next November, when the
great Democratic cyclone will sweep over
them sparing none of the political fun
gold excresences in its path.
