Miss Huy worth luts been engaged to teach a term of school near Mr. Coffee's, in the Bodarc settlement, und exsHts to commeuce her school about tbe Slh of April. So many things happened last Thurs day. Among the lia,peniiig is an ac count of Mrs. Garton and little girt und Elsie Merriain, friends of long standing having a fulling out. It seems these ieople started out from home, drividg a sfian of ponies that liked to travel up hill or down just as fast or slow as they pleased. They were going to Knd I fie day with Mrs. Priddy. They had jlist passed the place where Mr. Keel was tak ing the wire down, and were driving down into the gulch. Tlie road is wide enough, but none too wide. Mrs. Gar ton was iry.rg to hold the ponies back from going at a break neck s)eed, when the horse on tlie right side crowded over to tbe left. This caused tlie two wheels on tlie left side of the buggy, to rim up on a bank. Mrs. Oortan was on tbe down hill side, and before any of them had time to get scared or to think of dauber, over went tlie boggy snap went the reach und they were all on the ground, and away went the horses on a dead run with a piece of the reach and tlut two (root w bee Is spinning along after them at a one forty rale. They picked tliemselves up just as the horses disappeared over the hill an the opposite sida of tlie gulch. They were so glad to find themselves alive and unhurt they just looked from tlte flying horses to tlie broken buggy and then at one anothar nnd grinned. - A minnit or two later Mr. Keel came down the hill, after them, leading his horse, and inquired if any one was hurt. No they said but the buggy was brole and the horses gone. "Oh (logon tliebuigy oou saiu, -ii no one is nun, i n try ana get tlie horses back for you." . So onto his horse and away he went. Tlie po nies had got quite a start, but Mr. Keel cut across Mr. Biehle's pasture and al most sucdeeded in catching litem but missed tliem. But one of the Zerbst ami one ofjthe Wills boys were over that way and saw the horses running and caught litem. They Itad ran about a mile aod a half at full ed, and Mr. Keel brought them back on double quick time and they did not seem to want to run any mora. They had lost a part of tits portion of tits buffgy they started out with, so ttw bug gy could not be fixed; Mrs. Garton and Miss Marrktfii war determined not to miss their visit nsvsrUialesa. Ho they Isft what was left of the busry down la tba gulch and want to Mr. Biahla's and ' bor- rowad tlieir l ugiry w!

In tho evtu.ug as they came IsMiie tltey gulltered up tlw missing pieces of their buggy and after returning tlie borrowed buggy to Mr. Biehle'a, they went down to the srene of the morning smash up and surveyed the wreck. T)n tlie buggy was turned around and fastened securely topetlter once more with the aid of a piece of wires couple of halter ro and a green wood pole, then the buggy box was put in place and every thing boded into it, lite horses hitclied io their places and away they went home, winch ph-u-e was mulj wjtM,ut any furtlrer accident. Just as 1 linisiied ttiat last long ac count of how three friends had a fulling out a vision of a waste-basket of enoi uious size and w ith wide extended jaws ready to '.wallow anything and every thing Unit came near it, loomed up te- j fore my startled eyes and gave me such : a shock that I droped my jn n in a hurry j after suliscribing my name and conclud- j ed it was the safest not to write any j more items for tlie 1st of April -i-iper. j We meant to have sent the Warblings of ' this precioct in last Tuesday March 3Uth, hut on account of so much rain and snow i the mail earner for thi week was detain wn1 ainfr A,,ri 3l,i i,v 'oxw o( our j ne.u,, wl is obliged to go to. ed at home, and so Mr. Editor, 1 II just ' I town tomorrow for flour, otherwise if i this weather should continue, 1 dont i know wlien the readers of THK JRVM. would again liave tlie uneakable pleas ure of hearing from the Echo.
