AEsop tells in one Of his fables

AEsoP tells in one of his fables of
an OK and gnat The OK was graz
ing in meadow and the gnat lit up
on one of his horns and began sing
ing. After singing himself hoarse
he asked the OK if he was not bearing
too heavily upon his neck and if he
did not wish him to fly away. The OK
without raising his head from the
grass said-you can go when it suits
you. | did not know when you came
and will not know when you fly
away. Some individuals may learn a
wholesome lesson from this fable
when inclined to rush into print to
vindicate themselves for something
they may have said or done.

JgaKED FROM A can.
Postal Clerk Watson Has Narrow
Escape with HIS E.ifc.

The unacconntable absence Of
Postal Clerk Watson from his cal
when train No. 4 arrived here yester-
day, q. notice of which appeared in
the Advance, has been explained.
The teiegraphic inquiries made by the
railroad Authorities failed 70 e.icitany
reliable or satisfactory information as
to his whereabouts and poIhlng def
mite WAS Known until tie arrival of
the 5elated tram, No. 16, about 1880
this morning.
Mr. Watson vas q passenger Oh this
train and related the circumstances
to which his non-arrival was due, and
by which he came SO near being killed,
his escape from death or very serious
injury being almost miraculous. as
the train was approaching a small
station near Pocahontas, where the
catch bag lever had TO be called into
use, Mr.. Watson, the sole occupant
of the coach, in making a
pull to work the apparatus into
position, was jerked from the car:
The tain was moving TT q rate OF
near thirty miles an hour, and the
result naturally expected from such a
tumble, is certain death Strangely
and fortuna eiy though, NJ. Watson
escaped witt: only a few bruises and
generally shaken up feeliag. Pick
ing himself Up ne walked TO Poca.
bortas and i.Iera took the s,tst-bound
train, arriving Lere at the hour men
toned.
In describing bis experience while
falling, he stated that he WAS entirely
conscious and felt himself being
whilled through the air by the mo-
mentuIn of the train, but was unable
to resist the force. However, to this
very momentum his life is due, as it
carried him along through the air for
nearly thirty feet, gradually falling
as he Went until he reached the
ground, and thus the force OF tie fall
was broken.
