Y THE ‘BEWITCHED’ ¥ARM. IN TWO CHAPTERS. CHAPTER IL.—THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED. (Continued from No. 94.) £t would be nothing to the present purpose to describe the fox-hunt. At the cover-side we found a strong muster, and among those present were two or three friends of Treddock, who had heard something of the malicious damage done at his farm. They were profuse alike with their sympathy and their suggestions but Tom was not very communicative on the subject, and generally shortened the talk under sdme pretext. After one false scent, we got well off for a merry run, and afterwards a second fox was started and killed but on neither occasion did Treddock or I make a respectable finish at the death. He could have done so, if ho had chosen to leave mig behind, fer, shameful to say, I had a tumble in each run; and the most annnoving part of it was, that I could not make out how or why they should occur. The black mare went like a bird, and took rasping fences with ease; but suddenly she went down like a shot, just as she landed after topping a wall not more than three sect high; and then, the second time, we had a precisely similar mishap in the middle of an open field, where the grass did not reach to her fet locks. They were not falls so much as stumbles that is to say, she did not piunge, but went down with a rocking motion, exactly as they say camels kneel. We both anxiously examined her legs, but she did not seem to turn a hair in the process, and by equal good-luck, I was not so much as bruised; although, the second time, as I was picking myself up, I felt her hot breath on my shoulder, and was startled to find her open jaws within an inch of my face, with a snarling expression, ghewint that she had auite lost temper. "On both occasions, fortunately, Treddock happened to be almost close by my side, and she did not get lvose and away. ‘I can’t understand.it,’ he said, the second time, looking very grave. i “You were riding fair enough. I hope she doesn’t do that often and it is a good job Nell was not on her.’ CHRISTIANSTED, FREDAGEN den Bde DECEMBER 1865. i S By METEOROLOGIGAL REMARKS. _————s3@_—_—- ST.

BOSE Hraßgn Lo The atmosphere during the whole of this month has been beantifully clear and ‘transparent «ith gentle southeasterly and southerly air—cool in the shade while. the Sun’s Rays were fierce and powerfal. With all the beauty of the weather I greatly doubt its salubrity, especially during so many calm nights. Do the medical gentlemen or any others in the Island make any esperi ments to determine occasionally the quantity of Ozone in the atmosphere? 1 have not an appara tus or test paper for the purpose.

In this way il happened that we hoth came off with indifferent ho nour in the hunting-field that day —a matter which again galled "red dock, evidently on my account, not his own. Only for these carious ac: cidents, I should have greatiy enjoyed the sport, for it was a beautiful country Treddock very frequently scrutinised the mare, and when we got into a green lane, as we were riding homewards, made some pretext for changing horses, as if desirous of testing her by his own riding., Things went on well for perhaps a quarter of a mile, when, immedieinfy after we had passed through a gate, and just as Treddock was turning in his saddie to resecure the lateh, down went the mare in exactly the old fashion and being taken unawares, ‘l'reddock got a very ugly fall. ‘Her knees are broken this time he shouted, scramhling up, and, rubbing himself as he went back to her ~No, there tvas not a ‘mark on' either leg! “I never saw a horse fall like that before,” he said, staring’ in fresh wonderment at me, AT I said that I never did, for though I had not witnessed the whole process this time, 1 knew exactly what it was like from my own recent experiences. He remounted, but we had not gone two hundred yards further before precisely the same scene was re-enacted. ‘Stop, Treddock I shouted, and wheeling my“horse round as his animal rose unassisted, I went close up. and with my whip brushed the’ tips of the mare’s ears. I had found out the secret! At the first touch,’ down she went. She was instantly up again; and T repeated the expe: riment, with just the same result. e i-ins ‘Why, it is a trick somebedy has learned her i’ roared Treddock from a half-recumben position in the middle of the road. bk “That is it, certainly, and nothing else,” I answered. ‘I was look ing, and I saw your whip touch her ears; and then it flashed ‘across' me that mine did so when she fell in the field.” o HOg ron SOSEEINC Treddock tried the maneeuvre himself, and as certainly as the whip touched a hair of her ears, so surely the mare rocked forwards, thew backwards, then went down, but somebow seemed te reeover”hersélf, almost, as it appeared, without touching the ground with her knees, can never trust Nell on her back after this,” groaned Treddock ‘and it is quite a providence that we have found it out. But everjfifiij <3 unlucky is coming upon me at ence, I think! T fancied I had a li;g?flis bargain. The veterinary-surgeon fellow that had her in his stable ‘was a thief not to.tell me of it, and he knew she was for a lady’s riding. i% he shall hear about it. I'll put my whip away, to make méid?i!f touch her unknowingly’, he added, “sticking. it into his ‘coat-gocket, ‘and watching the mare’s ears closeély. -7~ the VAB DRREIERANE 9 o Here was another circumstance not to be abmgfly*-"comififintcéfii'. to Mrs. Treddock, for it seemed she had taken a great fancy to the’mére: Tom, however, stated that it would be impossible to break ‘the aniniil of the trick, now it had once acquired it and supposing that we found no ME TD BERJENDTGJORELSE IJI LL AT jeg idag overreiser til St, Thomas, hvor jeg agter at foridive i nogle Dage, og at uuder min Fraværelse herfra Oen DHrr: Gouvernementssecretairer PH.

'T'he creature went right enough so long as her ears were not touched; and at the end of what ought to have been a more pleasant ride, along ficld-paths, and through country lanes, we safely arrived at the Grange between two and three o’clock in the afternoon. Murs. Treddock and all the rest greeted us with bright looks, for there had not been a single mishap, subsequent to the mys terious death of the second dog before we started. As for the old con stable, he had quite rallied, and was again in the very finest possible feather, plainly assuming that it was his authoritative presence as the functionary of law and order which had insured this state of safety. Dinner, of course, had been put off, awaiting our return, and we had brought back with us hunters’ appetites but the enjoyment of the meal was rather spolied by baving, in recounting the morning’s sport, to evade Mrs. Treddock’s inquiries for full details as to the behaviour of her mare. I praised the animal’s easy going and her fine leaps, but did not mention ber falls and for my reticence, Tom Treddock drank to me with his eyes over the rim of his glass in taking embarrassed draughts of porter. My friend and I, soon after dinner, made a complete circuit of the farm, and all was found as it should be the legs of the cows were not broken, no more sheep had been prematurely slanghtered, and poor Bob was still the only horse with a broken head. 'We rambled on down the lane, past the church, into the village, which I found was a pretty an cient-looking place, and underneath its thatched roofs I could hardly bring myself to believe that malice such as that evidently afoot at the Granga could find a dwelling. Everywhere, as I was proud to see, my friend was received with respect and deference. Some of the older pe(j ple talked with him about the injuries done at the farm, and all seemed indignant and sympathetic. He had a short interview, by the gable of Dixon senior’s cottage, with Dixon the younger, the owner of the bull dog which that morning had so strangely come to an untimely end and. as the conversation finished, the chink of money passed between them, and the grinning rustic finished by inquirinr whether he should bring his other dog up to the Grange—seeming quite willing that it, too, should be knocked on the head at the same liberal tariff of compensation. Tred dock, however, decisively answered in the negative. “Dogs are of no use when there are no footsteps,” he vaguely said to me, as we strolled away on our return-walk; and it was easy to see that although, in talking with the villagers, he had pretended to be liave that it was all over, he still had a secret misgiving that the end of the disasters had not yet been reached. This conviction was clearly brought out when in otr chat on the hearth that night, he suggested to bis_ wife that she and the baby should go away by rail on the following morning to her mother’s, some sixty miles away, and should remain there ST.CROLE AVIS. 32 Cents. ved med 3 Maaneders Varsel til at an melde og beviisliggjore deres Krav for un deriegnede Ret som behandlende nævn te Boe.

Mrs. Nelly, however, indignantly scouted the idea of such a thing, when they had a guest in the house; and baby reassuring ly crowed defiance at all dangers. The plan seemed to break down at the outset still, Treddock was not contented. The constable had been set at liberty from further attendance immediately upon our return; but he was determined, he valorously said, to make a finish of the business, and accordingly he himself insisted on remaining at the Grange a second night. The evening wore quietly on, and after supper-time a bed of a malke-shift kind was made up for the constable in the kitchen, and again the stable and the corn-loft had each a guardian occupant. Treddock, as gravely as before, brought the yeomanry carbine to my chamber, ard then marched off with the other double-barrelled weapon to his own room. T'he moonlight poured in through the small panes of my window, making a net-work of shadows on the curtains, which I lay admiringly watching for some time; but following the hounds in the morning is not conducive to wakefulness at night, and when I again opened my eyes, though the window was equally bright, I could distinguish that this time the rays were those of the sun. It was rather late in the morning—for the country, I mean; but Treddock had also some arrears of rest to make up, and I had nearly dressed when he looked in at my room-door. The old constable was awaiting us below in the very highest possible condition of se\§-satisfaction, and was only lingering to receive my friend’s congratulations (with something more substantial, I believe, added), be fo.e setting off for the village, having, as he confidently intimated, clear ed everything up, though, so far a3 any explanation went# things were really left as much a mystery as ever. Nothing further had occurred ihat was all that could be ~aid. But in our content at this, no one was overlogical all seemed only too anxious to conclude that the strange affair had ended; and everybody indefinitely praised the old man, as if he had really been in some way the cause of it. Chuckling loudly as he went, he took hisleave; and Treddock and I, with the lady of the household, who had now joined us, sat down to breakfast in the best of temper. Some ten minutes elapsed, and we were rediscussing the inci dents of the hunt of yesterday, when a yelling shout arose just under neath the window near where we sat, and a dirty hand came beating on the casement outside, so fiercely that a diamond pane shivered out of its lead caseing, and tinkled as it fell inside. Mrs. Treddock gave a scream, and nervously clutched the child to her bosom. ‘Hoo, mestur! Hoo, mestur cried a lad’s terrified voice, as Treddock flung open the window, ‘th’ constable is donma fur; they’ve killed him at the back o’ the little bean-stack g (To be continued.)

THE LIFE BONUS of this Company averaged 46 per cent of the Premiums paid, in some cases rising to £65, 70, and even 75 per cent. Substantial benefits have therefore been conferred on its Assurers, and as the Life Liabilities are valued on the principje of Net Premiums, assuming only 3 per cent. interest— (the autside expenses chargeable to the Lifel‘)’ tment for the Gene ral Management of the Company being mcwmmued ‘afy the Deed of Seitlement to 10 per cent. of the met Life income)—ihere is every rea son to expect equally good Bonuses in the future, HOME AND FOREIGN FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCES AT RATES AS MODERATE AS THOSE OF OTHER FIRST CLASS QFFICES, The Directors invite applications for Agencies.

B%HE undersigned has petitioned the Royal Government to grant him per mission to take extracts from the Tax Lists, which have been returned this year, and to obtain information from the res pective police offices as well as immiura tion commission, in order to furnish sta tistics of the number of laborers on the different estates—stock and cotton estates included—the number of acres of land be longing to each estate and how cultivated —the stock &ec., the number of immigrants that have arrived in the Island since the Ist of Octoberlast and the crops of the sugar estates. It is to be cbserved that as the tax lists were gathered after the 16th Oc tober this year, and as the removals from or to an estate took place on the Ist Octo ber, 1t 1s unnecessary to give an account of the removals last tero. If an account of the births and deaths amonz the rural popula ion here can be obtained for some time before the year 1848 and up to date, the pamphlet will contain that also.
