treal inspection of pork ever found its way
into the interior of New York State. We
traveled all day Friday up the unknown
creek, which kept its general course to the
south of west, crossing it about noon on a
floating log—and striking, on its southern
bank, a **biased" track, which led us up to
a deserted tinder road, lying ; on the oppo
site side from a large lumbenug shanty.—
We holed one of the lumber roads might

the wilderness, we oracluded to cross the
creek to the shanty, and stay in it all night.

let me into the stream. i sulk in all met.,
and swain out, though it rtspiired all my
str e ngth to d o s o, and on reaching the
bank I found myself so °billed as scarcely
to be aide to stand. I took off my clothes,
wrung them, and we proceeded to the
shanty, where we found plenty of refuse
straw, but it was dry, and under a pile of
it we crawled—pulling it over our heads
and faces in the hope that, our breath
might aid in warming our chilled bodies.
I think the most. revengeful, stony heart
would have pitied our condition then.—
The weary hours of night at last wore
away, and we held a new council.
It was evident, we reasoned, that, the
creek we wore upon was used for "driving"
logs in the Spring season. If, then, we
followed it to its confluence with the Otta
wa or some stream which emptied into the
Ottawas, we would in time get out the same
way the timber went out. The roof of the
shanty was covered with the halvesof lop,
scooped out in a manner familiar to all
woodmen. These were light pal dry, and
would form an excellent raft. Why not,
then, take four of these, tie them to cross
pieoes by wythes and such old things as we
could find around the shanty, and pole the
structure down to that civilisation which a
saw log ought to be able to reach. Such was
the course we adopted. Wedragged the
lop down to the creek, and LalLountain
tied them together, as he was evidently
more of a sailor than myself. We got un

ourselves an much exhausted, that )(promo

go back, and it - we could get the raft dm a
s piece at a time, we would go on with her
—tf not, we would build MS good a place
as possible to crawl into, and prepare for

We went back, and after examining the
strewn attentively, concluded to try to get
the raft down. We at once commenced,
and I freely confess this the most trying
and laborious word of a life of labor. The
pieces would not Boat over a rod at. a time,
before they would stick on some stone
which the low water left above the surface,
and then you mustiryr it over in some way,
and pass it along to the nest obstruction.
We were obliged tO get into the stream,
often up to the tuiddle, and there I several
times fell headlong—completely using up
our compass, which now frantically point
ed in any direction its addled head tho't,
desirable. The water had unglued the
ease and it was ruined. After long
hoursof such labors, we got the raft
down, and La Mountain again tied it to
gether. Passing on, in about an hour
we came to a large lake—ten miles long,
ant/ six miles ()road. Around it, we must,
of course, leans until we could find the nut

presseil on with as much resolution a...could
be expected. To-day we found ono clam,
which I insisted La Mountain should cat,
as he era weaker than myself, and had eat
little or nothing ou the day we went up.—
Around we went. into all the indention.; of
the shore, keeping always in shallow water.
At last we stopped at a place we thought

It had now been four full ilayi since we

too, was paddling down an unknown stream
—but never believed we could stand half
the amount of suffering he did. Besides
he had means to make n fire—we had
none.
lie was upon a stream which he knew
would lead to the sea and safety—we wore
upon waters whose flow we knew really
nothing . of, and we were as much lost as
though in the Mountains of the Moon.—
But we "could not give it up so," and
took fresh ()outage as troubles appeared to
thicken.
Well, we turned the raft around, and
poled her back towards the place where
we had entered this last lake. We had
gone about a mile when we heard the
sound of a gun, quickly followed by a
second report. No sound was ever so
sweet to me as that. We hallooed as loud
as we could I a good many times, but could
get no response. We kept oar poles going.
and had gone about half a mile when I
called La Mountain's attention to what I
thought was a smoke curling up among the
trees on the side of a hill. My own eye-

that I could not depend upon it when a

At Ogdenaburgh, and all along the line

Several general conclusions and remarks
shall terminate this 'narrative, already too
long, "Why did you permit yourselves to
go solar," willnattinilly ',casket!. To which
we can only repl) —that the wind was ex
ceedingly light when we ascentiett---thist we
were very soon among the clouds, and
consequently unable to take any cognizance
of our course, nr to judge how fast we were
traveling. Perhaps it is well here to re
mark that when you are sailing in a balloon
you are utterly unconsiout of motion, unless
you cam see the earth. 'Nor eati you tell
by a eourvisr.., in which direction you
. are
travelling. unless you are. sufficient of- an
astronomer to Judge from the shifting
angles formed by oertaiit stars. in a word,
if you cannot see the earth you cannot tell
LIQW fast. nor in which direction you more.
This will, i.erharks, explain why we uncon

NUMBER 19
After a well known Georgia Solicitor
loners' bad administered the usual oath
o the grand and petit juries and bailiffs,
it turned to the presiding Judge and re
narked:
Sol.—May it please your (honor. 1.. do
not remember any form of an oath admin
istered to the lobby bailiffs, but by your
permission; I think I can frame one that
wilt hi Itatinfactory to the Court.
.1 tit ige.—Proceed. Mr. Solicitor.
Sol. —Put your hand on the book : -
whereupon t► tall, lean, vinegar faced ion
of Mink stepped up and promptly grabbed
the book.
Sol.—You do solemnly swear, in presenoe
of this Court, and ns lawyers, that you will
take your position in the lobby, and than
remain with your eyes skinned during the
entire session of this court. That you will
not suffer any one to speak above a low
whisper, and if any one shall dare to do so
in presence of your royal highness you will
vociferously exclaim, "Milence in the; lob
by !" and if order Is not immediately re
stored, yen further swear that you will, by
one ponderous blow of your fist, planted
between the peepers of the offender, knock
him down. All of this you will do to the
best ol your skill and knowledge.
The isoliff took the posilepu assigned
1 • , and immediately aft tle Ate court was
organized, Tom Diggers, who POO k ed as
green as- young gourds, walked into the
room wearing brogans, No. lls, and his
hands thrust deep in his pockets, and in
, uired.
"Hallo, fellows, where in thunchw le Jim
*l.:Hence in the lobby!" roared the en
raged official.
Brogans.—You must be an unfired tarns]
fool, and of ye jist open that bread-trap of
your'n agin, your mammy won't know ye.
Whereupon Jim Jarvis, the bailiff, let
fly the dogs of war, and greeny fell Sat on
his back, with his pedestals at an angle of
forty degrees in the air. He grabbed greeny
bk the seat of his frowners, and dragged
him wrong end foremost into the presence
of his Honor, the - presiding Ju dge , and
mkt,
"Mr. Judge, here's that infernal Tom
Diggers, that wan't never in a Court Rouse
afore, and he undertook to run over this
chicken ; but 'eordin' to my oath I fetched
the tarnal critter up stooding, by giving
bun a jerk atween the eyes 'cordia to. law,
and now isay the word, audi I'll maul the
dogwood juice outer him afore you kin wink
yer eyes twice."
Judge.—Turn him loose, Mr. Bailiff, and
accept the thanks of the G?urt for the
prompt discharge of your official duty.

A Discornte as ro Brrres.--A New
Yorker in the oountrg writes thus to the
New York TriLane, of his emcees in inces-
tigating the, to hitn, mysteries of butter
making
It always used to bother us whe-e butter
came from. Our idea waa tha_ it mutt
have come from a salt mine, mixed up in
some inscrutable way with tubs. But. It
appears that butter is made by - - omen.—
We happened one day to be out. in a place
called the "wood-house," where a very sing
ular occurrence took place. A woman
who was there put on an apron, and then
proceeded towards a singular-looking insti
tution with a stick in it. Taking hold of
the stick, she began working it up and
down as thcaigh her very life depended on
the operation. "What in the name of won
der are you doing there f" said we. "Mak
ing butter, you fool." Being in pursuit of
knowledge, we disregarded the superfluous
appdlatien, and mildly asked her tthe
ationale of the process. when, to our isti
