A DEER HUNT.

DEERFIELD, Va, Dec. 5, 1S96.-Deerfield
has been very quiet since the 30th Of Novem-
Der. No more is heard the blast of horn the
musical yelp of dogs or the ringing cry of
the ''drivers" cheering the deer-hounds on
to their prey. Quite number of hunters
from distance were here the last week in
November. Among them were: Judge
Cricher, of Alexandria, Dr. Stewart, of
Washington, ID. g., Mr.. Eichelberger, of
Messrs. Chas. and George Herring, Of
Bridgewater, accompanied by Mrs. George
Herring, Miss Mamie Herring, Miss Lou
Yancey. MI. VIM. Bowles. of Salem bar and
Mr. John Branner, of Rockingham county.
| have noticed in several Stanton papers,
that a fine deer which is exhibited at Brew's
was killed in Highland. AS Deerfield can-
not afford to lose even one honor, l wish to
correct that mistake. The deer was killed
here by Mr.. Kyle at stand known as
"Guy's Salt Ground" Another large deer
which was started at the same time was
killed by Mr.. Guy near his barn. Both of
these deer we're started by pack of hounds
belonging to Mr.. Branner.
A yeung man from your city while hunt
lug here the latter part of the hunting sea-
son, was seized with peculiar kind of
fever known only to hunters. His diagnosis
of the case differs slightly from that of 9TH
ers who were near him at the time. 1t was
a very cold morning and this young man
became tired of standing motionless listen
ing for the dogs SO laying his gun by tree
he began tramping briskly about murmur-
ing to himself, all the bravethings he would
do if a deer should come through his stand.
Suddenly he heard light running foot steps
coming directly toward him. With one wild
bound and an agonized cry for help he was
safely hid behind a tree. As we'll as he
conld hear for the beating of his heart, the
steps came nearly to him, stopped and then
seceded Greatly relieved he peeped out
from his place of refuge to see large deer
bounding from him. Only then did he re-
member that his gun was near at hand and
raising it he fired full load of squirrel
shot after the retreating deer. The young
man left for his home that night reaching
there about O'Clock a. m. to escape being
court martialed and sentenced to pay the
penalty. A wise novel; ~

discoveries with reference to the wheel
