It f» said that uce, before the English hart become us> d to the maneuvers of the robbers in India, an officer with a party of horse was chasing a small body “ of Bbeel robliers ami was fast overtak ing them. Suddenly the robbers ran be hind a rock, or some such obstacle, which hid them for a moment, and when the soldiers came up the men had mysteri- ously disappeared.- After an unavailing ^ search, the officer ordered his men to dismount beside a dump of scorched and withered trees, and, the day being very hot, he took off his helmet and hung j it on a branch by which he was etanding. ; The branch in question turned out to be the leg of a llheel, who burst into a scream of laughter and flung the aston ished officer to the ground. The clump of scorched tret*? suddenly became trans formed into men, and the whole party dispersed in different directions before the Englishmen could recover from their surprise, carrying with them the officer's helmet by way of trophy.—Har per's Young People.

WOODS ^ 7W 11 T TNin PROPRIETORS FATHER AND SON Engage in a Fight and the Father is Painfully, but not Dangerously, Cut. On Tuesday of last week Mes srs Joe and John Pipkin, father and son, engaged in a fight in which the former got decidedly the worst of it. The following particulars have been furnished us. The row began in Mr. C. H. Decker’s store in Philadel phia. A clerk in the store re quested the belligerents to step out of the store if they wished to continue the row. Joe Pip- j kin then asked his son to go out with him and finish the row The son proceeded to accept the challenge and as he was leav ing the store picked up a meat knife which was near by. On reaching the back yard the fath er and son began immediately to fight, the son using the meat knife. As a result the father had his hand badly cut, one ear severed almost in two, and he also received a deep gasli across his jaw. Dr. J. P. I’arrottdress ed tho wounds and, while they are very painful, they are not considered s dangerous. Later in the day the son passed by the father’s house and the old man came out and knocked him down with a stick. They were separated, however, before any further damage was done. The Kight Anfiwer. A judge, meeting a countryman, said | to him, “Where are you going?" “How do I know?” was the gruff reply. The judge, taking it for a piece of im pudence, said: “You don’t know, you scamp? I'll teach you better manners. 1 Off to prison with yon!" t T he poor rustic was seized forthwith | and was being hauled off to jail when he turned round and said, “Your wor- sliip can see now that 1 answered cor rectly, for I assure you that 1 didn’t know 1 was going to prison." This reply excited the risibility of the judge, who ordered him to be set at liberty.—Tesoretto. me i-rire ul Church Organs.

Gardner, tl.edrug clerk in Dr. Boyd’s drugstore, spent the Christmas holidays at his old home at Tiller’s Ferry, in Kershaw county. While there he killed, on the Kershaw side of Lynche’s River, a very peculiar kind of duck—a kind that is so uncommon in these parts that even the oldest sports men could not give its name or genus. It was a large blue duck, with brown head and round bill. Anolher peculiarity of the bird was that it had three fish with in its craw. The largest fish was about five inches long. The fish were but partly masticated and the duck had swallowed them whole. TO THE ALLUNCE. Buckler s Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores.
