Correspondence Spirit of the Times.
An unusual adventure which recently
occurred to your correspondent while
hunting at Brookmere in this state is 80
timely and contains 80 much that can be
made valuable to all readers, that ! ven
ture to reproduce 1t entire:
The day was most Indictment one and
the snow quite deep. Rabbit tracks
were plentiful. but they principally led
in the direction of large swamp, in
which the rabbits could run without diff
ficulty, but where the hunter constantly
broke through the thin ice, sinking into
the half-frozen mire to his knees. Not
withstanding these difficulties, the writ
er had preserved, although very small
bag of game was the result. While
tramping about through a particularly
malurial portion of the swamp, middle
aged man suddenly came into view, car
rving muzzle loading shot gun and COM
pletely loaded down with game of the
finest description. Natural curiosity,
aside from the involuntary envy that
instinctively arose, prompted the writer
to enter into CONVEX sation with the man,
with the following result:

"Why, bless you. have lived here
most of my life and hunted up to ten
years ago every year."
"How d PES it happen you omitted the
last ten years?"

II don't understand you?"
"Well, you see, about ten years ago,
after l had been tramping around all day
in this same swamp, / felt quite pain in
my ankle. didn't mind IL very much,
and could see it kept increasing. The
of pain in my shoulder anu found it
panied me to move my arm. This thing
kept going on and increasing, and though

Shortly after this nay joints began to ache
at the knees and finally became so bad

of the time"
"And did you trace all this to the fact
that you had hunted so much in this
swamp"

but / knew that l was in misery. My
joints swelled until it seemed as though
all the flesh l had left was punched at
the joints; my fingers crooked in every
way and some of them became doubles
jointed. In fact ,every joint in my body
seemed to vie with the others to see
which could become the largest and
cause me the greatest suffering. In this
way several years passed on, during
which time was pretty nearly helpless.

chair. While all this was going on,
felt an awful burning heat and fever,
with occasional chills running all over
my body, but especially along my back
and through my shoulders. Then again
my blood seemed to be boiling and my
brain TO be ON fire."
Didn't you try to prevent all this
agony?"
