And before you would be able to speak a sentence, the water was dashed out of the cask and stealing down the acid soil, and I was in the barrel, and the woman dropping atub half filled with water in at the top as a cover, She had barely time to enter the house, thedoor of which, fortunately, opened on the side away from the meon, when a rattling vehicle drew up ut the door, and I heard a hoarse voice raving and ' gwearing at the woman for something done or undone, and then from the bunghole, the plug having been dislodged iu the upsetting of the cask, I saw the furious return of the three rene. gades, There was a good deal of loud talking, and explanations and oaths, and stirring up of hot nectar, and rough remarks about the oysters in the corner ; Tut both Dick and the woman seemed sore about the matter, and the woman refused to join the hunt becuse of the coffin, * Well, youre going our way a piece,' said Wolf, ¢ likey enough you'll have the fun of (From Peterson's Journal.) I had ridden hard and fast and was aston- ished to find myself coming into a straggling settlement. On the course which I should have taken there was nothing of the sort.-- Somewhere I had crossed the right trail and taken the wrong one. Almost ¢ any traveller in the border sections would have been glad to thus stumble upon a place for food and refreshments, Not so with myself. In the breast pocket of my coat I carried 5,393 United States money, I had received this amount from Major-Gen, T, M. Lacy, and it was to be carried through to Fort L----, an plaged in the hands of Col, Asa F. Souf to defray the necessary army expenses, ¢ Get through at. your best gait, Carnes,' said the Major, * the money fis lon y over-due,. and Southard's rather faihsy temper must have been tried to the utmost. You know how the soldiers get to growling if we are at all delinquent in paying up.-- I don't think any one dreams of the arrival of this money--save, of coJrse, the mail agent and the clerk who delivered me the packages, I was directed over an unfamiliar section hence my losing of the route. I considered it my safest plan, so long as IT had blunder. ed upon the verge of the settlement, to bold- ly enter and rest as an ordinary tra' eler would do. Should I push hurriedly on 1 might by that act excite suspicion. There were only two men in the barroom when I entered, the landlord and the hos- tler, Under tuis familiar cordiality the landlord furtively eyed me in a manner that made me wish I was well done with my job; but I reassured myself with the thought that it was the consciousness of the re sponsibility reposing upon me that caused his glance to disturb me. Before I bad finished my sup- per two more travellers rode up, called out for the hostler, and ordered drinks, or rather, one of them came in*with the orders, and the other threw himself down on the bench out-- side and began loading a huge pipe, Stroll. { seeing us wing the turkey. ing carelessly around the room, 1 fuanaged| The conversation was distressingly per- fo glance out of the window, My heart | sonal, 'made acutely so by Dick asking-- leaped into my throat, for in the man outside I recognized--from the description of him-- Bill Wolf, one of the most desperate charac.

Iwas behind the cask when Dick came to the door, and chirruped his beast up to drink, «I'll go with you as far as the forks,' the said, as two of them came out with the coffin and slid it into the body of the wagon. -- They then stepped back, probably to call the others. At that moment a wild and desperate plan entered my brain, but feeling for my knife, I found that it wus missing along with' the belt to which it was attached. In the sud- den jostle which the falling steed had given me, the girdle had been snapped and lost without my knowledge. The horses of the fthree renegades--my own, which had been returned by the hostler at the in, among them--were hitched on the farther side of of the door, where the moonlight, striking by the end of the cabin, rested fully upon them, It was suicide to attempt to seize one of them ; but as the woman with some purpose in her mind safg out to the men to come back and get the last dipperful of lig- uer which she had mixed, 1 sgized the old [alternative ; 1s prang lightly into the wag- on, lifted the oy lid, and again crawled into the long, narrow prison.

Parties were engaged in threshing grain. and at the time of the accident were threshing loose oats, and Theodore Bodine was feed- ing the machine." In some unex- plained way a coil of fence wire had been brought in with the grain un= seen by the pitcher, and was pitched upon the platform, and shov- od into the machine with the oats.-- One end of the coil was caught by the revolving eylinder, and the other end in a very mysterious way wound around Mr Bodine's neck, and ina shorter space of time than it is pos-- sible to conceive, the untortunate man's head was drawn into the ma-- chine, torn into atoms, and earried out with the stuaw, while portions of the brain passed through the seper- ator, and came outin the spout be- low with the grain. It was some time before the other workmen real- ized the nature of the dreaded acei- dent, Mr. Bodine was seen leaning er the platform in front of him, but his position being somewhat el- evated it was not discovered that his head sas in the machine, and it was only when blood and brains was seen coming out of the spout: with the threshed grain that the man attend- ing to that part of the work, called the attention of others to the fact that something awful had taken place. , Boots in Water. x A correspondent of the Indiana Farmer writes: --' I have stood in mud and water two or three inchés deep, for ten hours a day for a week without feeling any dampnes or hav- ing any diffi ulty in getting them hs off.
