A Moe HUNTING PARrY-on Sunday evening
after tie rain subsided Eve are very sorry to
chronicle the fact, but the truth of history requires
iD par of young gents from town thought to
have a time Of it, by going into the country for q
hunt With fast animals, ammunition guns and
saddle bags containing spiritual comfort, they went
up that institution called the pank-road- running
out of this city to nowhere. After stacking their
guns up in what they hought secure place, they
bethought them to Try the speed of their animals
down the road. They ran against celebrated hunter
from the East, who was just then on the trail of
fox. After receiving benediction from him for
interruptng his sport, in classic and musical pro-
family, they went back to where they had left their
guns and found one Of them missing. The dogs were
put on trail Of the thefa negro man, who they run
through Brookstown back Of DR.. Laycock's planta-
ton, where they cornered him 10 thicket, the dogs
holding him at bay. One Of the party started into
the thicket-it was now quite dark-and as he heard
the cooking of o gun, came ont again in q few
minutes after this the negro fired bis gun killing one
Of the dogs putting the others to flight and making
good his escape. On Monday morning parties went
out in pursuit of the coored individual but as vet he
has not been taken. Baton Rouge Comet.
