A Night's Experience tn tho Lumbci lierions of Aluino. ??In rebru.iry. 18-10," said Capt. H. L. Zoby, of Cntonlown, "I had au interest ri soino lutnber way up in tia; Pisonia* quis reglen, and I bad to go up tiaro and eeo how things wi n; getting along, lt was a long journey, bul tho sleighing was liko glass, nod l bad ono of tho best horses that over stood inside tho Hulls. On my Bccon i diw-out tho theriutuioter etoo I at 20 dogs, below, and war; Inclined to K" lower. I know I would reach ono of those queer litllo villages common to tho Maine backwoods oarly in tho even ing. Thora I int 'tided to stay ali night, nud drive on next morning to the houso of th.' agent of tho hunier property, twelve mil. s further along. 1 roached the villa ,.. ami found that there waa no tavern lhere. .'This, of course, upset my plans. So I atc RU| per in the village and started on. Intending to proceed to tho agent's tho Kaine night, lt was a Starlight night, but tho air was filled with that peculiar frozen mid frequently noticeable on very cold ni els. As WO neared thc river this haze lieeamo densor, until tinnily it was with diUieulty 1 could seo anything aho.nl of mo. lt was like passing through a storm of scaly ice. Suddenly, as I wes thinking that we must bc almost on tho margin of the river, there dhmo a crack ling sutmd, a loud splash of water, nnd tho next second my horse was flounder ing about in waler, which also covered tho sleigh, the robes and myself up to my waist. "Tho water splashed about soon drenched tho rest of me, nnd In loss time than I can tell it I was coated with a rapidly thickening arima' of ice. I guess my noble l.ea^t must have floun dered nt least a minute m that hole before be knew exactly what had happened. When tho situation did come to him ho beeline quiet, threw his fore feet up, and lodged diem both ui tho leo willi n eon C< ried blow liko a trip hammer. Tile ico was thick, but beneath that blow an im mense e.TKO was broken off and was car ried down in under tho edge of tho ice below. The horso swam onward, drag ging thy sleigh with it through Iii" rap idly freezing slush. Once nus.! bo pounded tho leo ahead of bim with his t powerful foro feet, and again the ico yielded. "During all this time I was shouting , for help. 1 might, at tho first break, I have turned and leaped back to shore, but ? had not collected myself in time, ll was now too late, and oren if it had not been I wasi i stiifcued by tho casing of leo that 1 couldn't havo moved lo save myself from death. Tho horse kept oil, and, strange as tin? atory scorns, broke a chan nel hs- fifty fe? t across that river, and drew tho sleigh out safely on the other Hide. And bc didn't tarry when he got lhere, bul started off at the lop of his speed toward our destination. Ile soon struck tho road and away Wo went. I know (hat although one danger was es caped, a greater was before us, and I urge i tho iior.se on with my voice. My rohes and clothing had frozen so solid that if I had been encased in iron 1 could not have been more motionless. My li ns?' was a jet black, but his icy co iling nia<,le him stand out, even in that frozen mist, like a sjieotcr horne. ? could not move oven my hands. We wore liol yet half way to Ibo agent's house w hen I found myself growing drowsy, l could no longer use my veice. Tho clavier of thv' horses' boals and the creaking ?d' tho runnels oil tho leo sounded to mo Uko Cnmder claps mid w eird, hideous cries. I knew that 1 was freezing, but 1 labored hard lo rouse my will and light with it against iny fate. Ibo stars looked Uko great coals of Aro, although before they could bo scon I mt dimly through tho peculiar haze. The tl'CCS, with their branches covered with snow, took on the Bhapes of gigantic ghosts. Still I pre served all my powers of reasoning. Finally I fell myself growing deliciously warm. A languor, such as Do Quincy might havo described, with attending visions of loveliness, took p ?session of mo. 1 heard tho most delightful music. Still I made one mental effort tc shako off this fatal spell, and that was all. "I don'l kuow how far 1 was from tho agent's houso wdicn I froze to death, hut tho next Hiing 1 remembered I was suf fering such tortures as a victim of tho rack might feel. Ho never felt worse. Suddenly, at uiy feet, the pricking of a million needles assaulted my flesh, Tor turing mo tit that spot a moment, until I writhed in agony, it. da.-.lied quickly np my le;.-, stopped an instant, as if gio;.lim'; in my misery, and ?hen crawled with that awful pain (-lowly upward, until it seemed Hint tiny jets of tho fiercest Haine were being blown into my body, heart and brain. Ibo intensity of this agony w;.s not constant. If il had been I would hav e died again in a short limo, lt carno in waves, so to speak. Fach wave was n little less furious than its predecessor, until al last the storm was passed, and I found myself a weak, speechless, limp and helpless mortal, lying on a rolni Ixj foro the fireplace of my friend, tho agent. He had brought uio hack to life. "When I was strong enough to hear it, ho told nie that ho was awakened in tho night hy tho peculiar and loud neighing of a I IO rsc. He looked out of tho window nnd saw a sight that startled bini-a ghostly horse ami sleigh and driver in the road before his door. He recovered him self and went dow n. Then ho discovered that tho driver waa dead. Ho quickly carried tho driver Into thc house, laid him on the floor liefere the fireplace, and recognized me. Knowing that even if I was not beyond all aid, nothing could l>o done for nie until the robe and clothing were thawed, ho made the fire hinze and hurried to tho rescue of Hie faithful and intelligent horse that had reasoned with itself that it must stop at tho first houso it t aino to on that terrible night, and that life and death depended on it. Hy tho timo tho horso was cared for I was in i.ha|M' to Ixi resuscitated in case any mich thing could bo done. I was stripped and rublied briskly with snow and snow water for more than an hom liefere I gavo any Ovidence that 1 might l>o called hack. Then another hour was sjient in tho samo treatment, when a spoonful of brandy was poured down my throat. After that tho circulation was started, and my agony began. That suffering lasted for an hour, and -well, I can lay this: Freeze lo death if you want. You'll like it. But don't lot anybody fetch you to again."-Kow York Sun. PLAYS AND ACTORS.
