A fellow at the basket meeting, last Sunday, met with rather a curious accident, lie was wearing one of those 30cent blue neckties, which circle aroupd the neck and fastened in front with a bow-knot, all dotted with white lumps of floss, which gave it a very nobby appearance. He was meandering through the grove with his girl when this same nobby necktie slipped up over his standup collar, just under the back of his cranium, and there lav, giving the wearer very much the same appearance as a yearling colt with the second premium round his neck. But when that playful band caught on a crab apple tree and the youth was swung off ,his feet, with his “darlint” frantically endeavoring to undo the slip-knot in front, it presented a picture to which T. 11. Nast could never do justice, The knot slipped, and with a gurgling sound the young “sand-1 apper” sank to the ground, and watched anxiously for the “wind to rise.”—” Remington Record.
