illustration of the instinct and en-
DURANGO of dumb animals. Mr. Light
ner resides near the Bath Highland

Knob. perhaps the highest point in
Virginia. In the fall round up twenty
five sheep could not be found, and
were thought to have fallen n prey
either to thieves or wild animals, and
were given up as lost. Last week he
received word that his missing sheep
had been seen struggling for their
existence in the deep snow of the
mountain range. He went to the res
cue and found seventeen of the twenty
five, one of them dead, but the others
living. and twelve of them in fine
condition. How they had managed to
live through the terrible weather OF
January and February is. mystery, |
for the snow was reported to be five /
feet deep at times, with huge drifts, |
under which they must have been

Mr.. w. l.. Trimblc, while returning
from Bath county TO his home near
Monterey, had a thrilling adventure
near Mr.. II. II. Terrys on Tuesday. He
was driving four horses attached to n
load of corn, and, in attempting to
pass a slide in the Jackson's River |
road. the entire outfit went over 81 |
steep embankment at the foot of which |
some thirty feet below-the river
flowed in more or less turbulent
state, owing to heavy thaws and rains.
Tie wagon turned over three times
and lodged against small tree, and
the horses becoming detached, also
stopped short of the river, only one
OF them getting seriously hurt. Mr.,
Trimble himself escaped with a bruised
knee, and the corn, being in bags, was
also recovered. The work of getting
the wreck in shape for moving again
required force of men several hours.
