A srRAFEGIC COON.

We witnessed an amusing incident on
one of our suburban streets last Saturday.
A fashionable young lady, got up in the
highest style of the milhner's art. and array
ed in the glory of five dollars a ward silk.
q twenty dollar bonnet, and three hundred
dollar shaw, was majestically sweeping
along in the direction of the Fair Ground.
while just behind, a little boy was leading
a pet coon. A countryman in a brown
slOuched hat and lnsey-woolsey ''warmusn
came along, followed by ''yallahn dog.
whose nose was Scared diagonaIly, trans
eversely and laterally with the scars ofmany
fiercely contested battle with the mem
bers OF the raceoon family. 'Tige" DO
sooner saw the ring-tailed representative of
his ancient enemy than he made frantic
dive for him, accompanied by a furious
bark. Coony eomprehended the situation
at the glance, bolted incontinently, and
sought sanctuary, beneath the ample cir
eumference of the lady's crinoline. The
young lady screamed while the dog made
rapid circles, snufing the air, and evident
ly bewildered to know what had become
OF the coon. The situation of the young
lady was critical and embarrassing. She
was afraid to move for fear the coon would
bite, and the coon declined to leave his re-
treat until the dog had retired. Finally
the dog was stoned of, the boy dragged
the coon from his hiding place, and the
young lady went on her way, with lively
consciousness of having experienced a new
sensation. Asfor the coon, he was instant
ly killed. He had seen too much to live.
