lie trial of the parties arrested for
stealing timber was concluded before
Justice Ewing on Friday last, no COIL
victions being had. We have not made
particular inquiry into the merits of any
of these cases brought to trial. 1t is II
pity, however, that the trouble could not
be settled without resort to law. Those
who actually took wood from Mr.. fuckers
land should be willing to pay for it and
the owner of the property should be
reasonable and lenient with those who
are willing to settle. Now We learn that
Mr.. Tucker, through his agent, Mr..
Canning, is determined to carry these
prosecutions TO the bitter end. Extra
dition papers are now being prepared
with view to have the accused parties
tried in Minnesota. The cheapest and
best way for the parties concerned to
get over this trouble is to come to an
amicable settlement, if possible.

A Roland for an Oliver.
ITO The Americana

Hillman, Swain, Dews and Dodge
were four eminent young lawyers of
North Carolina, and as they attended
the same courts and frequently trav-
eled together, the monotony of legal
discussions was often varied by bril-
liant scintillations Of wit, intermingled
at times with severe practical jokes.
Dews, the brightest mind Of the four
found an early grave; and Swain,
who alone lived out the time allotted
to man, after filling the highest posi-
tons of honor and trust his State
could confer, while Ex-Governor, was
elected by the Trustees President OF
the State University at Chapel Hill
This position he held for more than
thirty years. and through his won.
derful tact and judicious manage
ment the institute attained that high
degree of eminence which is still SO
dcservedly enjoys.
On one occasion, during a brief
interim of the courts session, Dodge
in facetious mood wrote on slip
of paper the following epitaph:
"Here lies q Hillman and Swain,
Whose lot let no man chose;
They lived in sorrow-dicd in pain,
And the devil got his Dews."
Provoking smile from each as i
passed along, the slip at length reach
ed Dews, who recognized its author
a; once returned the following:
"ITere lies poor Dodge, who lodged all good
And lodged a deal Of evil;
But after lodging all he could,
He failed to dodge the devil"

correctly call them, deer-horn' Qor on

Of deer are not horn at all, but bono).
These antlcrs Of the reindeer are stuck
upright in the snow, sngly or in
groups, in such n manner that n sled,
when we'll guided, can be run between
them without knocking any Of them
down. the number Of o. en- spaces be-
tween the groups being equal to at
least the number of slcds. The quantity
of reindeer antlers they can thus ar
range will, OF course, depend upon their
fathers success the autumn before in
reindeer hunting; but there are nearly
always enough antlers to give two or
three. and sometimes five or six, to
each fearless young coaster.
The boys with their sleds, numbering
from four to six in IL fan. sized village,
gather on the top OF the hill, each boy
having with him Two OF three spears,
or bow with rs many arrows. They
start together, each boys object beng
to knock down aS many antlcrs as pos

they are passing the antlers the bette,
They must knock over the antlers with
their spears or arrows only, as those
thrown down by the sledge or with ths
bow or spear in the hand do not count.
They begin to shoot their arrows and
throw their spears Us soon rs they can
get within effective shooting distance;
and, even after they have passed be-
tween the rows of antlers, the more
active boys will turn around on their
flying sleds AMI hurl back spear or
arrow with sufficient force to bring
down an antler.
When all have reached the bottom OF
the hill they return 10 the rows Of ant.
lsrs, where each boy picks out those he
has rightfully capture !, and places
them in pie by themselves. Then
those accidentally knocked over by the
sledges are again put up and the Logs
return for another dash down the hill,
until all the aDtltrS have been
"bpcarcd." Sometimes there is but one
antler left, and when there are five or
six contesting slcds the race becomes
very exciting, for then speed counts in
reaching the antler first When all are
down, the boys count their win.
