six miles from this city, by a party of hunters
who went in pursuit of him. He had rendered
himself notorious by his numerous depredations,
and was the terror of all the negroes in The sur.
rounding neghborhood. party of men, nc
companied by number of dogs, started in pur-
suit of him on Thursday morning, and succeeded
in bringing him to bay. A desperate fight soon
took place between the dogs and the boar
Three of the dogs were killed in few moments

from his body by single stroke of the boar

in thickness, and his tusks were u inches in
length. He measured three feet across his
shoulders We give the description OF this mon

Your obedient servant,

"Franklin or somebody else says, take care
of the cents, and the dollars will take care of
themselves" If by any means we can induce
our youth instead of spending their cents in
what is worse than useless, to deposit them in
a penny saving, bank, it would tend to cultivate
habits of frugality and economy, and ultimately
teach them the value of money, as well as its
proper use. BETA.
