formed a prelude to the entertainment at
the Jamaica House. At about half-past
one p. NJ, rs sleighs started down the
river, drawn by horses that seemed to enter
into the spirit of the occasion and led by
our worthy postmaster and wife. The trip
to West TOwnshend and back was made in
quick time, giving glow to the cheek and
an edge to the appetite that fitted us to
give mine host and his excellent supper a
hearty reception. But though reinforced
by Others on our return, so that there were
% couples to take supper, there was no
lack of good things to eat. All were high
ly pleased with the supper, the kindly re-
ception, the appointments of the house, and
all about it. We trust the character of the
company gathered, the many kindly words
spoken, and the sheckels left behind will
encourage our good landlord to persevere

How 1t Feels to He Hit In Battle.

George L. KIlner, in Popular Science Monthly.
When the lieutenant had disappeared

bolstering my trembling hopes with the
thought that this last victim was a shining
mark. as l certainly was not. Besldes. L
believed that the sharpshooters could not
get the range on our end OF the lIue.
Then followed a 'thud" close to me. and
my next sensation was thatI was PROSTATE
on the ground, pierced through my left arm,
heart and spine with a rod. and pinned to
the earth. This was the physical sensa-
tiOn, but. OF course. was not the fact. Then
through my brain there fitted quickly q
vision such as the thought OF n battle most
commonly brings to mind-masses of war
ring men struggling indi vldually for the
mastery. 1 seemed to be in the midst of the
melee. and with all the indignation I could
express was shouting to the men In gray,
There. you have hit me.w Next i was be-
ing lifted and supported by some one. and
a voice said. He isn't hit, but something

good as dead. Take hIm to the rear" i
had so far recovered as to comprehend these
remarks. and instantly concluded that /
was the subject of q practical Joke. In an
other moment i was seized with the keen
est pain | have ever experienced in my life,
in the region where 1t had seemed in my
swoon tina | was run through with o rod.
Now, what bad happened was this: i had
been in q sitting posture. resting partly
on the ground, partly upon my
legs doubled beneath me, the lett
hand holding my weapon the arm
well braced across my chest. so that the
middle of the upper bone pressed AGAINST
the heart. On my arm were two shirt
sleeves. a jacket sleeve. an overcoat sleeve,
and the overcoat cape; and the musket-bBil
moving in the direction of my heart and
~spiDo-that is, obliquely to the front of my
p~erson-had licked the limb of q bnsh a
few feet away. keeled over, and struck
fiatwise on the arm. Embedding itself In
the flannel and the flesh.
