Two young men, on their way from Co

in a buggy, met with quite a series of ad
ventuies and mishaps. Arriving in the
vicinity of Rattlesnake creek, on the county
road, and having no adequate conception
of the depth of the water, the first thing
they knew Ihey were floundering about in
the swamp, tbe road, bridge and everything
at that-point being completely under wa
ter. Their struggles to extricate their vehicle
and themselves from the trouble only served
to increase their perplexities,, and they
finally bad to get out of their buggy into
the water, relieve the horsea from the
incumbrance, and manage the best way
they could to get across, during which the
horse . came near drowning, and one
of the young gentlemen made a nar
row escape. At Hood's creek, about a
half a mile ' distant, they encountered
the same : obstacles to their progress)
which necessitated their swimming their
horse across tbe creek at the county road
and dragging their buggy across tbe Hood'4
Creek trestle,' on the railroad.' After they
got into the first scrape' they procured a
mule and substituted 'him for the horse
but found that he did not help the matter
much. . , Tbey arrived at Wilmington . late
