Bainbridge Democrat: In the old days of camp-inoetings, a horn was blown to wake the congregation in the mornings. The instrument hung near tho stand, and was generally sounded by some of the reverend brethren. Of course a camp-meeting is a great place for practical jokes, and one to this effect was played on a brother nt Bear Spring “beforo the war.” A rascally fellow filled the horn with soft soap. Brother A. and B. went down to the arbor soon in the morning to sound the horn. Brother A. took it, and standing in front of Brother B., proceeded to blow a blast. Of course Brother B.’s slicx face was sicxlicd over with the pale coat of soft soap. As soon as he could prevent strangulation, he spoke out something to this effect: “I have been a Methodist preacher for fifty years. In all that time I have nover sworn an oath, but I’ll just lie cot - essentially smothered if I can’t whip the son of a gun. that soaped that horn,” genial cditoi, no doubt, that the Headlight was a dollar paper.

Boon, of Hawkins- viUe, went out into tho woods with his gun to hunt squirrels on Monday morn ing. The little fellow soon found a squirrel in a tree, and began, walking backward to get a good shot. He was so excited that he never looked behind him, and he walked backward into a well sixty feet deep. There were some brush and pieces of wood in the well, and the little fellow Kept above the water, while his gun went to the bot tom. He shouted until his voice wns ing around for awhile they found the well and saw the little boy bravely holding to the pieces of wood. More help was soon obtained and a rope was let down, and Jimmy tied himself around the waist. He was drawn up about half way, and the rope slipped and he fell back to the bottom, bruis ing himself and spraining his ankles. Yet his courage never failed. He again fastened the rope around his body, and this time he was brought safely above the earth. His escape from death was miraculous. On Friday, August 12, Engineer An drew J.
