After listening to the good news of Salvation as it was being expounded to the people. in our chapel, one of our leading sports gave the word of command and with- f out a moment's hesitation the most deter- mined and nelv arrayed troop that ever showed front in this neighborhood, set off. As they prrceeded up the 13th line all went A. well and. the object of their pursuit was graduallybeing overtaken when, as it were, in a moment the cup was dashed from their lips. It appears that the new act controlling : such sports is very strict compared with that in force when these veterans of the chase first commenced their exhilarating outings, and this of course partly accounts for the un- successful issueof the race. a After proceed- ing` over summer fallows, turnip patches, barley elds, &c , when the hands of the braves were almost on the apple of their eye, lo_! a ghastly spectacle presented itself. On nearin a fence which happened to surround ' an orc ard, the leading followers of the Lamb observed pointing through the fence and almost in.their faces the muzzle of a gun. Upon making enquiry we found that this gun was in the hands of a person who was watching for coons and other pests of the night that have from time to time been in the habit of making raids on his turnip patch and orchard and carrying of!` his most valu- able turnips andfruit. The actions of these unfortunate creatures in the midst of their amazement and urry on nding such a for- midable enemy to contend with can be more readily imagined than described. What little care had been taken of their riding boots and pants on the outset was all cast aaide in the midst of the unnecessary confu- sion of the moment ; turnip tops, apple cores and` barley awns are to be seen on every hand, and evidences of a terrible struggle are visible to the most unobserviug person. Al- though we are quite in sympathy with our unfortunatefriends in their unsuccessful out- ing, yet we think that a ;little more pres .~nce of .mind might have been exercised in the midst of only apparent danger. We would also recommend that a better day than the Sabbath be `chosen for such purposes, and that they do not in future act upon the adage, The better day the better deed.
