Taking two guns, he repaired with his

position, and should the t=quad dismount

swearing vengeance upon the resi&tants.—
Before they had escaped beyoud the reach
he fired a second
-shot at the "fleeing foe, but with what result
he could not tell. The rebel at whom he
aimed fell forward on his horse, evidently
wounded, but he managed to get away.
Mr. Blessing's neighbors, learning w'.a'

every argument they cou'd advance, en

to stand his ground. They tried to prevail
upon him to leavj the vicinity and seek
refuge from tho infuriated rebe's who would
return with reinfocements and not only de
stroy his property but would murder him
and his son. The brave old patriot was
immovable ir. his purpose to defend his

The "Law nnd Manners on the Road.
All of us have ideas more or less correct, in
regard to the law which regulates our use of
the highways and, at any rate, good sense
and good nature arc usually very safe
guides. A few words on the subject, how
ever, may not bo amiss.
It is commonly said that every one has a
rishlto half the road. This is practically (substance. When the
true, and comes a',out in this wise Youwalked
and I snoot upon the road—our legal rights
are exactly equal, and both have a right to
go our several ways without obstruction
so popularly wo say I own half and youHe
half. Tho law steps in to faciiiate matters,
and directs e»ch to turn towares his right
hand. The road should bo worked wide
enough for two teams abreast, then eachto
man has a cleir title to a passage on his
right hand side of tho way nd no oneiand
has aright to obstruct another while on hisinvitation
proper track. Tl-.is is truo whatever tho

rebel horde appeared in front of llargers
town, one of its principal citizens undertook
a measure to which he looked for the pre

full of grain, his pastures were dotted with
sheep and cattle, and forty well fed swine
were gathered in the rear of h:s eirn-tiibs

as follows.:—Djlyou^thm¥ M*rjr,.yoii could
