He caused the heavie laden branch to be carefully ,saw off, and, mounting his horse, rode away into town in the greate t spirits; with the precious treasn over his shoulder. At every way side dwelling as he passedthe youn sters gave a hurrah,. and ran aft while he hurrahed in retur aid as he entered the town the hu rahs were repeated by evety stre arab as he road along. • He was .d lighted beyond measure at this e uberent ex u 1 tation, and he • thoug thatif"coming events cast the shadows before," he was certain of perfect ovation when he reached th exhibition ground.
