A short time since Mr.. Jas. Il. Trundle,
accompanied by his right bower, w. W..
Astlin, proposed to set the hair 0n-5our
writer by having fox chase at night Call
ing along goodly pack we repaired to the
farm of Mr.. Allnutt, and, although we ar
u
nard wide-awake, and after beautiful run
Of an hour and half concluded to retire for
the night, which he did upon the Hersper-
ger farm. Descending from our elevated
position in the top of tall locust tree we
re mounted and after sharp gallop of two
miles found ourselves upon the farm ten
anted by VIM. Hempstone, as the cry, gone
daoay, resounded it became evident we
had struck double header, as two dogs
went up creek, the balance oi pack down
stream. The deep tongued baying is eau ght
up by hill and valley until the whole country
seemed to be alive with hounds. About this
time the right bower became very much
excited, rs it became evident his pet, Floria
was leading the big pack. Dsmountlng, we
reached the fence and climbed up. Nearer
and nearer came the dogs, the right bowers
chopper still leading, as lar as We could tell
In moment the fox sprang from the bram-
BILE not twenty yards away, and in his ex-
element the right bower turned double
somersaut off Of the fence and 10 this day
it is Il disputed question il he saw the leader
go by, but the pace had become TOO hot FOL
Mr.. Reynard and after run Of fifteen min
utes longer the bayng ceased, quiet reigned
over hill and dale, and we knew he hac
gone 10 earM. The resonant cayCT OF the
horn sounded, and mounting again, w
wen ded our way homeward, arriving a
1:30 A. M.
Farmers are getting the blues in this sec
ton on account of the wet weather for thu
past two weeks. Peaynes, sand briars and
weeds, what combination
1t is generally conceded that Mr.. jane
Il. Phillips will teach the Oak Hill schoo
another year. This is as it should be, an'
is source Of qualification to three fourth
of the patrons of the school. Your writer
as one oil the trustees, has and will Away
oppose the removal of teacher upon per
sonal grounds, taking into consideration tn
interest of the school at large and its pa
irons.
A small black fly has made its appearance
among the herds Of some Of our farmers
alightng upon the base Of the horns an'
upon the udder and seems to torment tn
cattle u good deal.
