On Thursday evening, November 18th.
Mr.. Lewis A. Tussing, in trying to ford
the Shenandoah river, just above the
bridge near Mt. Jackson, met with mar
row escape. 1t seems some one, just be-
fore, had attempted to ford at the same
place with load OF wood, and on reach
ing the middle Of the river, had to abaE-
his wagon, escaping with his horses. Mr..
Tussing was in a spring wagon, and on
approaching the middle OF the river, the
borse took fright at the waves and swift
currents caused by the abandoned wagon,
turned down stream, and broke Il shaft
The horse, wagon, and all were beaten
down the riyer about two hundred yards
below the bridge. At that point Mr.. Jos.
Hyden approached and went to the res
cue, wading in, helping Mr. Tussing to
make bis way 10 the bank. When he
jumped from the wagon, IL turned over
with the sewing machine which was in
it, and was turned over and over, and
swept further down, a distance Of about
fifty yards. At that point both Mr.. Hydsn
and Mr. Tussing made an effort 10 save
the horse, carriage, and its contents; and
did so by getting the reins Of the horse
and bringing him with the wagon to the
shore. A valise, containing about $500
worth Of machine attachments and about
$50 worth Of bonds was swept on down
further, bat have since been recovered

No longer in the muddy moss,
To move or mix.

Your dearest wish.
The lakes and crystal streams to WOO
And with the gaudy fly pursue,
The festive fish.
Your party rotten TO the core,
ExAlts its noblest men no more,
In this our day.
So close TO decency you stood,
That you were clearly much too good
For such As they.

Your pride of place.
And you will usher in those days,
OF honest men, and honest ways,
With courtly grace.
