The Yacht Bare at lala sf The regatta which took place at lal* Hope yesterday was marred somewhat Its Interval by a heavy shower of rain, a the sudden subsidence of the wind. The morning gave promise of a still breexe. and the lovers of aquatic sports ware hopeful of an exciting day. The citizens of Isle Hope and the management of I 8a van nab, Skids way and Seaboard Railroad had united in arrangements for a grand time, and nothing omitted on their part to add to the pie of the r lid tors. The Guards hand wa gaged, and previous to the departure of the ten and twelve o'clock trains made trips down Whitaker and Abercorn streets on the ears playing sweet airs. The early train carried out to the Isle a fair number of per sons, and*to which considerable addition: were made by the later trains, the band coming out ou the 1'2 m. train and remaining. The race was under the auspices of the Savannah Yacht Club, and a very comfort able bouse for headquarters was placed at the disposal of the officers and members by the President and Superintendent of the railroad, who had also provided a bountiful collation, “with the trimmings," and open- handed hospitality was the spirit of the About half-past twelve o'clock, just as the second train arrived from the city, a very vigorous shower sprung up and the rain fell lively for over half an hour, many fearing the race would have to be a ban dotted. By shortly after one o’clock, however, the rain hod cleared away, the sun shone out, ami although there was scarcelv a ripple it breeze, arrangements were mode for the darting of the race. The " little barker was placed on the platform and primed for tiring. Contrary to usual custom, the boats in the fifth class were sent off first. There were three entries in the first class, but only- one put iu an appearance to start. This was “ie *• Ware,” entered by Mr. F. C. Wrllr- The start was made in flue style, tl course for the first, second and third class boats being from the stake boat, opposili the grand platform to Whiting's Point, retain and, thence to buoy at Martin’ Reach and then back to Isle of Hope. The course for the other boats was only to Whi. ting's Point and return. In consequence of there being no breeze it was known that the race would be slow, and this diminished the interest in great measure. The spectators, however, felt well repaid by the sight presented of the fleet as it passed along in front of bluff, an<i the knowledge that good seamanship would have to be dis played. There being no competitor in the first clans the Wave determined to have a oik around," so to speak, and at the firing of the pistol shook her satis and start ed off beautifully, makiug the course in four hours forty aud a half minutes.

The steamer Die- r left a! ».&' \r\ the morning on her first trip with a large crowd, a«us inched Tybce in good time. The majority of the emu, itiisls remained on this side of th j island, ttiough many availed themselves of the tramway anu Cl&d“ the trip to the Ocean House. Tlie steamer /gt'Jrned to the city and made a second trip, carrying a goodly number who were unable to go in the mwru- is.g. The efficient committee had made all arrangements for a pleasant time, and we think w e err uot in saving that every one en joyed It. According to promise, the stcaw.c." left Tybee wharf at 6:30 p. m. and reached the city shortly after eight o'clock with a well pleased crowd.

This college though under the con trol of the Grand Iaidge of the 8tate, and originally instituted for the education the daughters of Masons, is and has been for a iiutuhi-r of years open to all classes of our citlzeps, aud those who contemplate sending their daughters away to complete their education might avail tbciUMMvv* ot Dr. Bradshaw 's stay in the city to leaiu uf the merits of this college.

On Monday, June 17th, our party, consist tng of Messrs. C r, M n, P d, C m, M s, and the two brothers W 1. wit h Masters C n, C r,C m, and two servants, left Savannah at 4:15 p. m. for Live Oak. We were well provided against ever}* contingency that m ~ht arise upon occasions of that character, and in ad dition to the heavy stock of provbioos and liquids i the latter to be used only in case of snake bite) we were also fortified with a good medicine chest, which fortunately we hod no occasion to open. Through the courtesy of that efficient officer. Superinten dent H. 8. Haines, of the Gulf Road, we were granted excursion rates to and from Live Oak, and our entire luggage, Including hound dogs, etc., which nearly filled one baggage car, were transported without charge. At Dupont we were joined by Mr. F g. with hi* fifteen-year-old hound pup “Cora," and at 3:30 a. m., when we reached Live Oak, we found awaiting us “Uncle” Wil liam H s. his two sons Will and “Tinny," and his brother, "Uncle Bethel.” who were to guide us to the hunting regions. We could not have had better men if the whole of Florida had been searched through.

With such meu as companions, time could uot haug heavy upon us, nor camp life ever grow* dull. But w e are only at Live Oak yet, and forty-four miles ia wagon* is still to be compl’isbed before our destination eat reached. Our wagons were ready, and . roc ceded to pack them as best we could, aud after an hour's delay we started ot: the journey across the country. After traversing about five miles, we stopped by the side of a limestone sink, which abound throughout the country, to water our stock and cook breakfast. At diuner time we hsd reached the banks of the memorable “Suwan nee,” and befbre taking the ferry we con cluded to cook dinner. Setting upon banks of that dark and turbid stream, the words of that beautiful old hat from bis bead sod tjirew it behind him In the water.

After hunting in the palmetto for a while, without success, the old man “blazed" a pine, and. as the lightw ood was nearly out, they struck out for dry land to replenish. Two more pair of eve* were “ shiueu ” aud two more shots at them, but nothiug to show far it; and as the moon had now risen the two hunters returned to comp.

The dredging steamer Henry Burden hich for several seasons has been engaged „» work in the Savannah river, has been or dered to Jacksonville, Fla., to dredge the St. John's river bar.

Bishop Gross U at present in Augusta, and will perform the interesting ceremony, next Sunday aflRruoon at six o’clock, of blessing a bell presented to the Sacred Heart Church by Captain M. J.

We hear that a movement is on foot by i the “ Way down upon the Suwannee river, were recalled, and the writer wondered w uat in the world could have made the “old darky’s” heart turn to that stream. It Is true that “dar’s wbar the old folks stayed,” but as I gazed upon it and the surroundings, 1 soliloquized that it would take a good deal to make me stay at home with the old folks in that rountry. We ciossed the river in a heavy rain storm which drenched nearly the entire party, aud after stopping long enough on the opposite bank to take in a “counter irritant,” we pressed on for “Cook’s Hammock,”whert* we intended to spend the night, within five miles of that spot an accident happened to oue of our wagons which delayed us a little, but at the same time afforded the party some amusement. Juat In front ot a house by the roadside the front wagon had ruu over a log across the road, and to warn those that were some distance behind, the leading par ty bad stopped, and with torches were await ing our approach. As the party united the log as removed and we i* ere again start jug when ie front axle of the rear waaon broke off short and prool pita tod the entire load to the grout d. Upon this wagou the three little boys were sleeping, and in the fall Charlie C. was throwu against the cask of ice and hi* face was badly bruised, but he bore it bravely and soon recovered. The fun was aused by the teamster, a man bv the name of A », who was badly afflicted hair lip, and on account of being obliged to talk through his nose, it was al most impossible to understand wtjat he said, but upon this occasion auger seemed to have given him the power of making him self understood, and whilst sympathizing ith him for the unfortunate accident, the entire party were obliged to laugh at his expressions, delivered In his own peculiar way. “What’s the matter, Mr. A——a?” asked P d, as he reached the scene with the balance of the party. Throwing his arms akimbo, whilst be gazed upon the broken wagon and scattered con tents, be exclaims : "This is a hell of a fix * be in, oruf t.li<,rq)r,,r,Cqming. a$ this leech did, by a circuitous route through lie nose, its effect can better be imagined Ilian described. We left the broken wagon and contents where It was, and, proceeding on our way, reached the “Cook’s Ham mock" church, where we were to stay that night. After unloading we dispatched a wagon back for the contents of the broken one, ana in s* fuv hours vro Ijzd everything safe at camp. Starting a lire, bur efficient ■nanto, Gabe and Andrew, soon had us a ikm] supper, which every one in the party ijnnyt. after which " c spread our blanket- I upoti the floor and benches in the church anil proceeded to spend our find ni-'ht )r the woods of Florida. Whilst we were ar ranging to make ourselves comfortable in the church the question was raised by some one iu the party as to whether we were uot desecrating the building by using it lu the manner that we did, but as it was ruining quite hard outside we all agreed that God's house could be appropriately used to shelter the body ffom the storms of this life, as w ell as eulighteu the soul and prepare It for the life to come. This opinion was unani mous,and we all went quietly to bed and to sleep. At daylight next morning we secured the services of a honied-horse wagon and pro ceeded on our way for our final destination, on the banks of the Steinhatchle. This we reached at 1:30 p. m., aud we at once began to put everything in order. Tents were put up, flys stretched and the contents of the wagons stored away. Whilst a portion of the party were thus engaged, “Uncle Wil liam’' had suddenly disappeared, and in a half hour he reappeared with a fine string of bream, perch and trout from the river, which we had for dinner. After dinner we wandered about the grounds and had an op portunity of getting at our surroundings. We were camped directly upon what is called “Eight Mile Creek,” and within one hundred and fifty yards from its junction with the “Steinhatchle.” Within thirty yards of our tents wa* a rocky basiu in the creek, which we patronized morning ai * evening, and as often as we came fatigui and dusty from the hunt. We found oi selves delightfully situated in a group of oaks, and as the place had been used before for similar purposes, we had nothing to do but make ourselves comfortable. At night a fire-hunt was proposed, and aa the party were pretty well fogged out, there was no opposition to Messrs. P d and C r, when those two enthusiastic hunters vol unteered to accompany—the former “Uncle Bethel” and the latter to do the shooting whilst “Uncle William” shined the eyes. We’ll follow “Uncle Bethel,’ for his party had all the luck, although C r did not lack for a shot, but on ac count of distance did not get his meat. Lightwood was gathered before dark, and about S o'clock the hunters left camp to gether, but going in different directions, l^t's take our time,” says Uncle Bethel, the deer are not feeding yet, because we cau’tbearan owl stirring.” P—-d wondered at the connection between the hoot of the owl and the feeding of deer, but said noth ing, and followed the old huuter in silence. Reaching the bridge across the creek the Ited and proposed to “wait for the owls," which bis companion was glad enough to do, as the load of lightwood and the hatchet, besides his gun, which P d was carrying, mode the stoppage a thing “much to be desired." Pretty soon an qwl in the swamp near at hand startled the amateur hunter, and springing to his feet, fs at his ” palmettos, quite Proceeding to camp, P d deposited the animal, and hearing the dogs in full cry across the river seized his gun and hastened to join the slanders on the other side. Three shots were heard in raplJ succession, and the blowliigof horns soon brought the party together. Two deer had been killed. Oue by Mr. J. (J. W 1 and the other (his first) by Mr. M s. “We’ll have (otnefun now, boys,” F g remarked, aa the party pro ceeded toward the spot where “Lucie Bethel" and young M s (fere engaged in skinning the deer he had just killed. “As the oldest hunter in the party,” says Uncle William, "1 claim the right of performing this operation.” “No,” chimed in Uncle Bethel, “I Was with him when he killed it, and he says that be would rather have me do it, besides I have had all the trouble of skinning and fixing it up for the occasion.” “All right,” replied "Uncle William,” but if the crowd only knew what was in store for them they would have insisted u|>on the strict observance of the rule among hunters, which would have giv en the preference to “Uncle William,” the oldest hunter of the party. But so M s got bloodied, the crowd did not care much who did it, and quietly allowed “Uncle Bethel” to proceed with his arrangements. We were all seated and lying in close prox imity to the- deer, aod wheu "Uncle Bethel" said, “Come here, ’AI,' and let me show you where your shot went,” there was a general closing In of the crowd to see the thiug well (lone. M s quickly advanced and, for a fellow aliout to undergo such « trial, there was a peculiar look of triumph upon his face, which we all attributed to the pleasure he experienced at killing his first deer ; but that smile was prompted by a dif ferent feeling, as you shall soon see. Every thing superfluous had bueu removed from the deer, to carry it more easily to camp, and as M s‘ bent down to look at the shot huUa, “Uncle Bethel” opened the carcass to give him a good look at the inside. Thrusting both band.* in the deer before any of us had time to catch his object, M s scattered blood over the crowd by the handful, and would have been master of the situ uiott bad not “Uncle Bethel” carelessly allowed "Tinny” to get hold of lh<. inside trappings, aud with these be brought M s a hall dozen raps over the head, which placed him completely hnr* •in combat. M n at the same time caught him by the foot and, tripping him, was about to shove his head Inside of the deer, when “Uncle Bethel” came to bis rescue and stopped the fight. Every one in the crowd bqro Llooijy raarl^s or the conflict, and it was hard to recognize the features of M——s os ho stood before us. We hod fun enough for this day, aud, proceeding to camp, spent the rest of daylight in skinning and cutting up our game. At night C r and “Uncle William" started again on a tire hunt, and from his experience of the previous night C r took up the idea that a rifle ball aimed directly at the eyes was the thing to bring down deer with; bis footing on the log and fell to the ground, whilst W 1 had fired his first barrel and missed. It looked as If the animal was ruing to get away. P d sprang to his Feet, and taking delUmrate aim snapped his second barrel at the same Instant that W 1 fired bis remaining charge, which fortunately took effect, and after running about eevcnty-Ilve yards, the deer fell death That night M n and P J followed Uncle Bethel on a pan hunt, whilst C m, who bad not yet burned his powder, accom- f ianled Uncle William. The latter had no uek. but the larger party had a good night of It, and we’ll hear their account of what they saw and did. Starting from camp early so as to get fat lightwood, the party built a lire, and whilst ‘‘Uncle Bethel’' told Indian and bear stories, they quietly waited for dark to come and the owls to hoot. The latter gave the signal and they started— “Uncle Bethel" ahead, M n, who was to shoot Aral, directly behind him, and P d bringing up the rear with the bag of lightwood and hatchet. After hunting for about an hour a pair of eyes w ere shined, and M n blazed away. “I think you got that one,” says Unde B.. but after searching unsuccessfully for a while a tree was marked and the party were about proceeding (P d changing places with M n), when a hound was heard coming toward us in full cry. “ Confound that dog." says Uncle B., “ our bunt is spoiled." “If’ he cornea near enough 1 am going to give him a load of shot, ’ savs M n. “ Don't you think he may be chasing a deer?” put in P d. "No!" answered Uncle B., “ he is on the track of the one M n has just shot at but, before he fired, nearer and nearer came the dog, in full tougue, and, just as he reached the little bay in which we were standing, a magnificent doe swept by us, witbiu ten yards. Not expecting anything but the dog, they were, of course, unpre pared for the deer, aud not until the animal had passed and disappeared hi the gloom did they realize the chance that they had lost. P U fired as the deer and dog went past him, but It was a snap shot, aud made without the opportunity for aim, aud, it is supposed, was perfectly harmless. The dog (which belonged to a man living about two miles from the camp—-the same at whose house M s had stayed when lost i at once took up the trail of the wuunded deer M n had shot, aud ran it out of hearing. About half an hour later, P—<1 got a shot at a tremendous old buck and -‘downed him,” but did not get him until next morning, wden be was found with a part oi one hind quarter eaten off by the same dog that M n had threatened to shoot. This was the largest deer killed on the trip. He had a fine head of horns, which, being "in velvet," could noUw saved. Soon after shooting this deer, and on the way back home, the dog was heard coming towards them with M n’s wounded one under chase. He ran it into a large pond, and from their position on the outside they could distinctly hear the dog swimming and the deer jumping, with a $ruk*-n Uy, in the water. Gettting a good light in the pan, Wa good light in the pan, they went iu. Waist deep was the water, and occasionally an alligator hole would be struck which would have carried them out of sight; but, proceeding cautiously, they ru&naged to keep out of these, and finaily got within fifteen steps of wh r * the deer was, but owing to the miek shrubbery they were unable tS sec It. If au artist could have sketched the party os they stood at tliis point, with all their surroundings,: had wandered off in the direction that the sound was heard from on the previous night, gave a loud yeU. “Here's your deer, Mac, and a fine buck he Is.” Every one came up on the run, and there, In the palmettos, lay a fine three year at, com pletely riddled with buckshot. I can’t describe M n’s looks upou beholding this fresh evidence of his skill. It was the biggest game that had been killed, for the animal had swelled during the night to twice its original proportions, and while the laugh was going around M n was silently bending over and find ing his shot holes. Nearly every shot had struck. We let the ox lie where he fell, took a memorandum of the marks, and finding out the owner, sent him fifteen dol lars, which was five dollars more than the animal was worth In that county, but M u said he wanted him to feel that we did not come to go cattle hunting, and the price would prove that the shooting was acel dental. We returned to camp and commenced to make preparations for the return trip. Be fore striking tents, the party were all called together, and C r asked " Uncle Bethel ” and “ Uncle William " to tell all the secrets of the hunt which had been confided to them by different members of the party. Each hud something to tell which the party- had never heard before. How this one had got the credit for killing a deer when be had missed it entirely, or never shot at it at all, and but for the difference in the sis** of the shot,no one would have knowu better. After this we began to sum up the quantity and va riety of game which had been killed and found that we had brought to camp IN deer, 2 wrild turkeys, 1 wild cat. 10 rac coons, 1 ’possum, 10 alligators, 1 rabbit, and :U alligator eggs. The best shooting was done by little Hugh C r, who brougnt down four raccoon* with two barrels. He missed with the first, or rather expended that to get the range, as the riflemen would say, and with the next shot he “rained" down four. At one o’clock we broke camp and started for Live Oak, which we reached at G:30 p. m. the next afternoon, and at 8.-40 the next (Sunday) morning the party were safe in Savannah after an absence of just two weeks in a country which for quant iti and variety of game surpassed any that 1 had before visited. The climate, too, was fine, aud at night we slept under blankets aud sat conifotRably around a large canju fire. Every one had his full share of enjoyment, and we returned to our homes with minds made up to again visit the Steinhatchle and roam along its beautiful banks with those old veteran hunter# who upon this occasiou contributed so much to our pleasure and comfort. Burglary. Some time during Wednesday nigh* or early Thursday morning, the store of Mrs. Catherine Myers, corner of Price and Charl ton streets, was entered by burglars who forced open the window. They only car ried off a few bottles of brandy and some cigars aud Lroke open the money drawer but obtained IRtle for their pain's. They succeeded In making their escape with the booty and no clue as to w ho they were ha* been obtained. Hotel Arrivals. 1-I.Z.VTXHS Hi mu—G. A. Upchurch. Brighton, 8. C.: M.

A few erenlugs since a party of fovaunah gentlemen, aiming whom was a well known city official, in returning from a pleasure cruise, encountered off Tybee a yacht schooner, containing two men, w ho hailed them and made some inquiry in regard to their course. They stated they wore from Cleveland, Ohio, and were on their way to the Eastern lakes. Only a few words were interchanged, aud the yachts parted, the strangers moving off in a northeasterly direction. The gentlemen on reaching the city mentioned the circumstance of two men making such a journey as rather singular. The mystery concerning them, however, is explained by the following paragraph, which we And iu the Charleston A<w and Courier ot Thurs day, 1st : The yacht schooner Okaresta, Capt. F. ...

Cut am aod he gathered the articles at his aide and pro ceeded to follow Uncle B., who had risen from the log, and shouldering h|s pan of* fire, was moving along the edge of the swamp. Not a word was spoken for over half an hour, when, by the light of the pan, P. saw a small animal winding its way through the grass aboat ten yards to their left. " What's that to your left, Uncle Bethel?" Turning the light fuli upon it, the old man exclaimed: “Hold on ! that's a pole cat. If you get afoul of that fellow the boys won’t let us into camp to night,” and as the little animal neared us, the old hunter proceeded to make a retro grade movement until he lost sight of It. Takiog a different course, in a few moments they came upon one qf the numerous bays which run parallel to the swamp along which they were bunting, and suddeuly the old mau stopped, P -d, about three yards behind nim. his head bent to the ground, and trudglug along with the load of lightwood, did do 1 notice qntil too lato his guide had stopped, and only until be brought up all standing against the hot fire pan did he realise the fact! The ex clamation which Re started to qtter waacqt short by the old man, who #oftiv said: “Put down the bag and follow me close.” About ten yards he walked and stopped, and P d noiselessly gliding under his arm, stood di rectly in front of him. “There's a big fel low lying down,” says Unde B.. “but wait a moment until I put on a piece of light wood." As the light blazed up, about siyt* yards off P d saw X pair of eyes on tbl ground, and by direction of “Uncle B.” pro cceded to take aim about eightecu inches under the eyes. At the crack of the gffh tRe eves disappeared, and not bearing any sound, P—.4 supposed that he bad killed the deer, but the old man knew differently, and quietly said, “You overshot him; load up quick. About a quarter of a mile fur ther on a pond was reached--the water, a little ovrr ankle deep, was no obstacle, and the hunters quietly proceeded to wade through It. About the middle of tt the old man again halted, and without a word, as he peered In the darkness, took hla bead./killing thei ngt5 #,y*. OU §, ouu of that shot. Next day an amusing episode occurred, which foi awhile, before the final result was known, filled u* with uneasiness. We ha.' ail been hunting across the river and th' deer had passed out In easy gunshot of little H n C n, who was too much strut*' with admiration for the beautiful animal a he came bounding past him to shoot, and, clapping his hands, yelled out “Here he goes !” “Here he goes !” w hich, of course, had the effect of turning the deer into the swamp and no one got a shot. The dogs, of course, followed, aud for the next tw hours we were without any hunting. 1. was during thfs dull period that young M s, w ho had become quite tired and warm, left bis staud and attempted to regain the camp. When the “huutcr's call" was blown and we all begau to assemble at the appointed rendezvous, 51 s did not make his appearance, and after waiting a short while we supposed that he had taken a different route to camp, and wc all started in the same direction. We found that he had not arrived, and after waiting about four hours for hlui to “turn up” the entire party began to get alarmed, and boms were blown and guns shot off in hopes of drawing some response from him, but none came, and a party, consisting of M n, P——-d and “Uncle Bethel,” started out to search for him. It was wonderful to notice the man ner in which that old hunter tracked him through the woods. We first started to go to his stand, but when near it his track was discovered in a wet place in the road, and for over two miles the party followed it until a house was reached, and there the young gentleman was found. Perfectly “a home” he had made himself, in the absenc of all of the occupaut* on a picnic at or nea Dead man's Bay, and I really believe that In regretted being obliged to return to camp just at that time. He bad goue in the house, w hich was found open, and whilst in search of something to eat had stumbled on the milk pantry, and it is uuuecessary to de scribe how effectually he went through It. Wheu fouud he had a bucket going towards the cow-pen Ho get some fresh milk. Of course there was great joy in camp when we brought the lost one in. Next morning M s had another mis hap, which caused us some merriment. We were crossing the river on a tree which had been cut and thrown across, and when about the middle of the stream, those who were In advance heard a splash, and upon looking round found thatM s had fallen. gun and all, In the river. We fished him out and sent him back to camp, where he stayed for the rest of the day, but when night came be was ready for a fire hunt, and finally induced “Tinny” to take him out. Whilst M s was cutting up the was cutting up the llghtwoqd there was a nice little conspiracy being worked up against him. We soon corrupted “Tinny” and brought him over to our cause, and the thing was fixed. Taking the head of a fine buck which been killed that morning, we sent it „ , certain spot about a quarter of a mile from camp am] set it up on a stump. It was then arranged that “Tinny” should hunt M s around for a while and then bring him up on this deer head and make him shoot t it. The scheme worked beautifully. Tinny” sbined the eyes and M s. stand - ing in front of the pan, poured flee lootl* of buckshot into the stump. At the sixth shot be knocked the head down, and, rush ing forward, fully expected to find his game dead before Mm, but “Tinny,” in follow ing him, purposely fell down and put the light out. So, when be reached the stump he was obliged to fed about to find his deer. Directly he struck the bead. “Here he i#,” he shouted, as, seizing it by one ear be held the head aloft. It would be Impossible for me to describe M—- a looks and feelings when that bead can* nf. Whether be really thought that his shot had severed body and head, or whether he realized at once the oke that had been perpetrated upon him, am not aide to say, but he had not long to ?udy over the matter for a loud shout and laugh from “Tinny” soon brought him to understand that a pretty heavy trick had been played on him. That ended his hunt for the night, and they returned at once to camp, where their presence with the deer's head wa* the signal for renewed laughter The report of the gun* had “'en plainly bwd,. and .ILnvV’ shout bad been c< -^eu back by all of us, who were anxiously waiting for tt. Next day being rather warm we only took a short drive across the river, when W 1 got a shot and killed his first deer on the hunt, p d and himself were in the drive, and after going through it, had stopped cm an old dead pine log whilst the •tenders were coming up. After consult* tion it was determined to take another drive just ahead, and the party bad just left to take up new positions i P d and W 1 remaining to take the drive) when one of the dogs jumped a fine yearling fcflick out of the palmettos within ten stejis of where they were sitting. P d, who was standing on the log at the time, reached down and seized his gun, bat just as he pulled trigger, lost, engaged by other <(f lhe party ‘ “ an ” n agreed to “go it alone.” . d, who was considered somewhat of a woodsman, on account ot his suceoss in finding his dead deer the morning after his first fire hunt, was tocarry the pan and shine the eyes, whilst the shooting was to be done in turn. The pan was fixed and prepara tions made iu the camp under a general Ore of ridicule from the entire party. “Take two days’ rations with you, boys,” said one. “We’ll come in search of you soon after daylight,” remarked another. “As soon as you find that you are lost, stop where you are and build a fire, and when day breaks I’ll find you,” put in “Uncle Bethel.” Bets were freely offered and taken that they would not reach camp again that night, but despite all opposition they started. Besides the usual compliuncnt of guns, lightwood, etc., each had a pocket compass, and before they got through w ith the hunt the reader can judge how well it served them. They went out about an hour by sun, and after getting their supply of lightwood sat quietly down and waited for-dark to Conte. "Before we start,” savs P., “let’s set fire to this lightwood stump and it will serve as a beacon if wc get lost.” “That’s a good idea,’’.answered M n, and just before set ting out a pile of lightwood logs were set on fire, and by the light they took their course. Skirting along the edge of a swamp with their beacon blazing brightly behind them, everything seemed to have begun all right, and they laughed with themsidves at the prospect of disappointing their friends in camp. But this bright state of affairs did not last long. They had been hunting only about an hour or so when the heavens became overcast and not a star was visible. The beacon, too, had disappeared, and only by the light of their pan did they now work long. Stopping in a pond of clear water > take a drink P -d suddenly saw, within few feet, something that glitteAd like a piece of gold, and ealledJM n’s attention to it. “It’s a’gator,” says M n; "hold on uutil I shoot him,” and at the report of the gun Mr. ’Gator was seen and heard to throw bis tail in the air, strike the water aud then disappear. “That’s first blood," says P—d as they proceeded. It now be- S m to look very threatening overhead and e hunters agreed to start for camp. “Let’s go around this swamp and we'll then head for home,” said P d. It would have been better for them if they had not at tempted this, for before they knew it they were in the heart of “Otter Creek ” swamp and sloshing around in the mud and water, which in some places was nearly waist deep, hiding cypress knees, over which they stumbled and fell. Up to this point the compass had not beeu used, but it was now necessary, and loading M « down with the guns, lightwood and axe, P d took the compass lu one hand and the fire pan in the other and headed in an easterly course. For over three hours they trudged along in . _ _ sionall v to rest and breathe. At one point, where high ground was reached, M n wanted to stop and camp, but P——*d would not hear to it, and stoutly declared his ability to reach camp that night. After a few moments rest and talk they set out again, aud after fording two branches uf the same creek, to "carry -ut the course,” asP -dsaid, they reached road. “Thank God I” said M n, “this road leads somewhere and I don’t intend to leave it again.” Consulting the compass so as to determine what end of it to take, they set out in a southerly direction, and after going about a mile saw their beacon fire shining through the trees and made for it. From this point they supposed it “plain sailing'’ ana did not even consult the com pass. The consequence wtv; ;ha» they got lost twice more before reaching camp. Within a half mile of* home, walking silently along, P——d suddeuly stopped and whispered M n suddenly to 'the front. There, within thirty steps, were three pair of eyes. Two of the ani mals stood together and could proba bly have been killed with tRe same oarrel, but about a yard to the right were a pair of -ves which, by their size and the distance icy showed above the others, showed that they belonged to a large aulntol. “I am going to shoot those two, ’ whispered M n. “Oh, no,” replied P d, “take that fellow on the right, he's bigger, and don't be in a hurry; take good aim." M n took his time aud his aim was fine, for at the ermefi 0 f the gun the animal was ~eard to run about fifty yards am) then fall iu some palmettos, where, after flounder ing a few moments, all was still.* “You got him, Mac. but it won't do to go out of this path in search of him, for we’ll get lost again. Let him remain until morning, and we'll bring out the whole camp to see your buck." They then proceeded to camp, which they reached at one o’clock a. m., having been out just seven hours. Every one was, of course, surprised, but very glad to see them aud learn or their success. At six o'clock next morning the entire camp went out, hoys and all, to see the deer M n had killed. P d piloted them to the spot, and by the blazed tree showed the exact place that the deer stood. It was noticed that the dogs took no trail, although they rambled considerably, and the crowd began to think that a joke had boon played on them, when P——d, who Narrow Kscape Irom Drowning— Heroic Conduct of a Young Lady. Yesterday morning about ten o’clock a party of ladies from the city, on a visit to Thunderbolt, concluded to take advantage of the fine tide and indulge in the luxury of a salt bath. They proceeded to the plat form of the railroad company, at the lower end of the bluff, beneath which are con structed neat bath houses, but the water looked so tempting that they determined to venture outside the bouses. Among the par ty were Mrs. Thomas and Miss Fennell, the latter fortunately, fur after events, being a tine swimmer. i-Mr*. Thomas was unable to swim, but not being aware that the water was over her head jumped from the platform into the river, and at once sank, and for a few sec onds did not rise. Miss Fennell, perceiving the danger of her friend, sprang into* the water and dove for her, but was not success ful in reaching her. A second time she dove with better result, coming close under the water to Mrs. Thomas, who immediately grabbed her with the tenacity of a drowning person, thereby impeding her movements. Miss F., by hard effort succeeded, however, in bring ing her nearly drowned friend to the sur face, when, by assistance from those on shore, both were drawn out in an exhausted con dition. The escape of Mrs. Thomas from drowning was really marvelous, and, from what we hear, she would have beeu lost but for the heroic conduct of the young lady mentioned.
