from his back. Then losing his balance.
the terrified animal, with a shrek more
piercing than human voice ever uttered,
plunged headlong over the precipice
which the foliage had concealed, and
went crashing down upon the rocks far
below.
That / was the victim Of treachery was
the first thought that flashed upon me:
and the next was that the safety Of my
life depended on the belief of my enc
mics that it had already been DESTROYED.
Quietly as possible / crept beneath the
shelter Of a thicket and lay perfectly
still. Before long / heard voices, and
soon a light was struck; and with a torch
Of dried bark, which one of them held, l
distinguished the features Of the three
men seen at the inn, one Of whom had
volunteered to be my guide. They found
the tracks of my horse where he had
gone over the brink, and gave a laugh
of satisfaction.
Now, Slower must hang beyond a
doubt" said one. "and we may breathe
freely; for had his innocence been proved
the suspicion more than once whispered
against ourselves would have been re-
vived, and who knows what might have
~happened?'
Then they discussed among themselves
the sickening details of the murder, of
which they had been the real authors,
and chuckled over the money they had
gotten by it.
At last they went away, and as soon as
it vas safe / left my hiding place, and
after several hours wandering came
upon a settler's cabin. Accusing the pro-
prietor, ! made known my circumstances.
He was a frank, honest fellow, disposed
to give every assistance; and, saddling a
couple of horses, we started at daylight
for the seat of justice.
The last witness had given his testi-
mony when l entered. Poor John Slower
had nothing to offer but his steady as
sertion of his innocence, and his unsup-
ported explanation of his possession of
the horse and money.
"Are there any witnesses for the de-
fenses?' the judge inquired.
"There is one," I answered, at the end
of a painful pause.
The prosecutor and the prisoners coun-
sci both looked surprised.
"Does any one know this gentleman?'
asked the former.
"Ido," said the judge, in whom Irecog-
nized an old college friend and classmate.
Come forward, Mr., Wythe.''
Ny testimony soon released the pris-
oner from his peril, and put in his place
the real criminals, who, in addition to
the murder actually lying at their door,
had coma so near having another to an
swer for. r

A Greenville Lads Ingenious Excuse for
Absence from Home,

A G%reenville Lads Ingenious Excuse for
Absence from Home,
William Wiicke, the eight year old son
of Hugo Wilcke, of Winfield and Gar
field avenues, is becoming a noted little
liar. Tuesday evening he didn't return
home from school until after seven
O'Clock. His father is opposed to such
hours for his little son and questioned
him as to his Whereabouts during the
afternoon. The little fellow, in the hopes
of making q satisfactory excuse, said he
had been rocked up in the Fifth precinct
police station all the afternoon, but why
he did not say. His father, anxious to
know the cause, accompanied the little
fellow to the station house this morning
and discovered. to his surprise, that his
son had not been locked up at all, The
little fellow quaiied under the "fierce
gaze" of Sergeant Hague, and finally adj
mitted that he had been playing about
the streets all the afternoon.
Such a little liar the Greenville police
have not met in some time.

tsry honors" TO DR.. Talmage any else take
place in the armory.

The question whether an elevated or depressed
road shall be built in Atanticave. may be said to be
approaching solution. The consensus Of public
opinion is probably in favor of depressed road, either
in an open cut, or by means Of work similar to that
in Parlavc., New-York. The Of this. however is
obstacle in its way though it is by all means the
best solution of the problem The construction of
elevated road. with four tracks as is talked Of would
be improvement upon the present surface tracks,
but it would doubtless put permanently ont Of sight
the restoration Of this avenue of great possibilities
to the business purposes for which it is fitted.
That is TO say fOurtrack elevated road would be
lasting blight upon it, and condemn it perpetually TO
a condition such as 1t now enjoys O.. One Of the
droest possible objections to a depressed road is that
the passengers in the could not read the signs
along the street. and that this would produce blasting
effect on the business future of Atanticave. Such
considerations will not have much effect upon the dis
position OF the question now under consideration.
