Intact, It turns sci faet that, to those ; wtio do not know of the existing teeth, it ( looks very innocent. While In its anxiety i for the approach of the end of a lou ihrouuit which it might wade, it turns playfully on its j-xes at. a speed inconcoivsti?Iy * great, and hunts a cheerful tunc all its own, and wliiel: Is not to he mistaken for the notes ol an or liiifirv txnvlc I,(i?. White flit* sm' was thus idling away a spare moment lust Moiuliiy Mr. Sinith was busily engaged shoveling lust out of the saw pit. Suddenly and without any premonitory no'iceonc tooth of the Waw reached down at his head, taking otr siMic hair and removing tin* tlesli from the skull, catching nu Mr. Smith's hat, which stuck between thetecth of the saw and tlew around ata nipid rati* until It was torn to pieces. It is pr-sitincd thai Mr. Smith moved away from that particul ir locality In an ox- i celling short timent'ter being hit, as in- was out of the way of the next tooth which fol- i lowed very close to the tooth which did g?t Ills scalp. Mr. Smith came to town immediately, when I):-. Mahry at once made all . the necessary niechanical repairs, leaving vn tare to do the greater part of the job Its. leisure. Seriously, we presume Mr. S-ni t was as nearly kll.ed, as any mail could he not to he k>lle<l. We congratulate him on his escapelroin instant death. We hope that he may; never be In as perilous a position aga'n, audi ppe-siiuie It Is nil it -cv's iry to speak of thead-| visibility of stopping the saw licrealtcr when ( I he saw pit is to t>e elcanod out. Til? It.uclielor Who Employe;! the "BrgNtfr" to Help llim to n Wife, i This gentleman was in town I i*t Saturday. I and it is supposed that lie called at the post ?>lH<*e for any letters which might be addressed to Mr. "Amsden." Whether he received any oilier letters or not, we are not informed, but certain it Is that a *12.00 bill for advertising in the /icQis'cr was received, ami which , oy one of those unaccountable accidents, he . dropped in one of our stores, and which acci-! dent revealed the true name of Mr. "Amsden*' ?and It is not "Ainsdeii," by a long shot.: The bachelor w ho is in search of a wife will Siodoubt forward the amount to the H-'jistcr. i whether the advertising in that paper shall help him to a wife or not. Mr. "Amsden" is h gt nultie bachelor, who no doubt mourns his lonely condition, and whose hungering heart lias never found the love I- seeks. Though1 the cupboard Is full 01" the choicest of earth's I luxuries, yet his hungry heart is pining still. J Neither Is there any doubt as to the sincerity In his expres-ion of a longing desire to meetj some good arigcl who may lie willing to con- J descend to marry a worthy bachelor. In this : desire we presume Mr Amsden is not singular. Mr. Amsden, however, nia-Je at least one ' great mistake in his advertisement. H?*? f-lion Id have put his real name to the ad If lie had done this, his handsome person, his intelligence and his sterling worth would 1 possibly have secured a score of applicants to till the lonely nictie in a bachelors heart. If , lie had only put a line In one of the lor il pa- j' per*. urnioniii^ ins m-Micii, ?i v r v , Jli.it m:iny lovely maidens would lisive won-> dcrcd why he look ihis course lollnd a wife, j IJcntli or .Mrs. It.
