IVIES. (From Porueory's Democrat.) It was a cool, bracing day in autumn. A traveller in a gray overcoat and a black felt hat was walking along with- a full, free stride, as if he had someim- portaut business and felt like attending to it. A heavy growth of pine timber. lined the rough road on both sides. It was it period of time when Michigan could boast of but fewtown or villages, and these lay widely apart, separated by dense forests, with here and there it smooth place where the trees had been cut down and formed a clearing. From one of these villages to the 1.101:1 it serpentine road wound through the. dense woods. • These roads didvery well when the' trayeller bestrode a pow- erful sure-footeil • horse, but try the experiment of jurneyirg over them in a carriage ! One 'moment slipping to the right, as the wheels en that side roll into a deep gutter; now thrown maliciously to the lettby the righteniug of the vehicle; again a quick succession of humps, making ono feel as if s ruck by lightning in every nerve. Under 3111 ch circumstances travellers quite of- ten chose to go afoot over these rough roads. ' It was near the middle of the day when the man in the gray overcoat p159 - sed through it small village, tarrying on the outskirts to get him it bit of lunch: After hastily' eating -a portion of this he deposited the remainder in his pocket and continued on his • way.

Every muscle was strained. by the flight; but what could he do ? His pursuers doubtless 11111llbe2ed it half dezen or more. • Theinstinct of flight alone remained in his horror and despair. Night was now close at band, and he bad it faint hope time he might elude. them in the darkness and the woods. Ha 1 What is that opening ahead in the woods ? A clearing. It would never do to pass that, for in so doing he would have fresh pursuers on his trial. He thought rapidly. He did not like to take to the woods for fear of losing his way, but sooner or later he mastd° so. As he gained the rise of the slight knoll, in clbSe proximity to the clear- ing, be glanced bade over his shoulder. •Through the fast gathering daaktese he descried several horsemen, sparring rapidly forward. Instantly he sprang forward the loud report of several guns echoed through the woods, and the man fellforward. The next inetant, how- ever, be gained his footing and disap- peared in tbe forest. " My God! 1 rim wounded!" he cried, dapping his hand to his thigh, from which the blood was running free- ly. "What will I do now ?I can elude them to -night, but what 'd to -morrow? I will be hunted down and bung up to the first tree 1" He kept running forwaael deeper into the woods, as fast as his wounded limb wonld permit. - His pursaers dashed into the woods after him; but the night was fairly down, in the woods,and they soon lost all trace of the fugitive. Wearied out and completely at a loss, they concluded to go to the settler's house in the clear- ing aud wait :till morning, when they would renew their pursuit. When all signs of pus sit had died out, theevounded man cautieusly worked his way thrtingh the woods totho edge of the clearing. Here be paused to rec- onnoitre the promises. heeAatisfied that the inmates of the settler's eithin were abed, he stole up to the logsteble, and leadiug out the only horse it contained, he mounted him without either saddle erbridle, walking carefully entil a safe distance, and thee strieing hit° a recklees gallop. He rode all night, eutering the ,town of his destination tut about daylight. Immediately proceeding to his home he put up the horse he had ridden so reeklessly, and then going to the house ho chauged: his coat and hat, biding these 'nearly fatal clothes in a secure place in the cellar. He'examined his wound, which he. f011eld Willi not so bad as he hail feared. Being a flesh wouud it IVILS not 80 pain- ful but Unit he could walk very well but limped perceptibly. Ile now proceeded to his business partner and confided to him his pre- dicament, when after some discussion they both Millie to the conclusion that' they had hest send the horse back to its otvuer, with ten dollars as pay for the involuntary 'theft,. , The maa that took the horse back was instructed not to tell anything about how it came about. - The real burglar in this case wee af- terward capturod and duly punished. The man that carne so near losing hie life by the similarity of his dress to that of the burglar thought seriously upon this coincidence, and was inclined to condemn eirournstancial evidence in any case ; for had ho • been captured that night, the similarity f drees and of size words/ have probably hanged hiin in less' than twenty-four hours. • ' He was constitutionally a brave man, but he never spoke of his elan' for life and narrow escape froan murder '-with- out it shudder and it fervent feeling • of thankfulness to'God for his'miraculous preservation from death.

Judge Pitman was chairman of the committee on rams, and he manifested the deepest interest in Johnson's ram ; indicating clearly that if any sheep ought to take a prize that oue ought to. Johnston's ram was by itself in a pen -with a !sigh board fence, and betore adjudica- ing tile prizes the judge though he had better go in and make a close examine - tion of the animal for the purpose of ascertaining the fineness of its wool, etc. As soon as the judge reached the interior he walked towards ,the ram, whereupon the ram began to lower his head and to -shake it ominously. Just as the judge was about to feel the fleece the ram leaped forward aud. plant- ed its head in the judge's stomach, relied him over on the ground. Be- fore thej ledge had time to realize, what had happened the ram came at him again and began a series of promiscu- ous butts, each givenwith the precision and. force of a • pile-driver. It butted the judge on the back, 'on the ribs, on his rams, on his shoulder blades, on the bald place • on his head, • on his breast, on his shins; it butted his nose, it butted his watch into a mass of loosq cog -wheels, it butted his spec- tacles off, it butted laisliigh hitt 'into black -silk. chaos; it butted him over in- to the corner and op 'against the fence then it hutted four boards ont of the fence, butted down another of the com- mittee, butted three small boys;into fits, butted the money -taker' at the gate, and ,then fled out into ths country, but- ting harmlessly at the fresh air.

My horse was also bit in several places, and plung- ing blindly into a cany hollow, fell with a crash, hurling me several yards be- yond.
