Wild BEAsrs IN ILIISors-KlLIrSo OF a
LySx.-Between six and seven o'clock Sat
urday evening, Mrs. Robinson, wife Of Mr..
John Robinson, who lives on the banks Of
the kickapoo, about two miles and half
southwest Of town, on the Jobnstown road.
observed q strange animal standing and
quietly eyeing the children in the yard
through the fence. At FIRST she thought It
was dog, but on a close observation she
saw it was some animal she had never seen
before. She called her husband, who was
near by, who came and set his dog on the
strange animal, which bounded off, and after
running some two or three hundred yards,
iesped about five feet up small tree, and
took refuge in its branches Mr. Robinson
called to Mr.. John Shoemate, who lives near
by, to bring his rife. Mr.. s. did so, took
aim, and fred, the ball taking effect in the
left eye, severely wounding it. but yet failing
to bring it down. A long pole was then pro
cured, and the animal forced to come down
by means Of that. The dog, which was Of
the shepherd breed, then clinched it, but was
soon whipped, aud the animal was knocked
In the head with a club, and killed by Mr..
Robinson.
1t proved to be the North American lynx,
q rare animal, aud measured about FIVE feet
in length, and between two feet and half
and three feet in height. 1t is about the
color of the prairie wolf, and its body and
limbs also clearly resemble those of the wolf.
It's head is a good deal like that of the
common cat. only much larger, with long
erect ears. Charleston Courier.

moment James Stephens having been de-

Parties In the South
Two distinct parties are at7work in every
Southern State to organize conventions un-

disqualitications of the Reconstruction bill
are not comprehensive enough to insure the
safety of the Union cause, as many men
now in office will be abe to take the pre-
scribed oath and secure reelection. In
Georgia there is thorough organization of

Wine CuIfMrR.

A writer in the London Medical Times and
Gazette shows that there is no lack of a
plentiful supply of wine from France and
other countries of Europe, and asserts that
there is wine enough in the world for all.
From this we learn that there are 100000
proprietors of vineyards in France, 1000
varieties of wine cultivated, 5,435,000 acres
of land devoted to vineyards, and crop in
1864 of I $40, ,000O00 gallons of wine, worth
500. .000,0G0. 1t is one popularity of the vine
culture that it has, as it were, its own zone,
and intrudes on nothing else. ''See," as a
Burgundian once said of his country, ''the
hills nouriSh the Vine,. whilst the arabic
fields below them yield corn for bread,
and the meadows on the river banks are
pastured by fat beeyes." If we extend our
view from France to the Rhine, SWitZer--
land, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Greece,
Spain and Portugal, we find vast quantities
of land fitted for vine culture. Ezr-a1 =
In wine countries the value of new wine
in good seasons is the value of the
cask that holds it. Two wini s
from the department J. HerduH, which
alone produces twice as much as the
whole kingdom of Portugal, are offered for
sale in London at very low rate. The first
is sold in casks at the rate of fifteen cents a
bottle, and the second at six cents the bot
tie. One of these is described as "a stout,
rough, new wine, adapted for family use."
before 1oLS Tie nome supply OF Wine In
the United States will be sufficient to meet
all the wants of the inhabitants. The two
States of California and Ohio yielded in
1860 upwards of amillion of gallons Ken
lucky, the third on the list, gave a return
of nearly 10000 gallons; next, Indiana,
$4,000, and then New York, 81 900; North
Carolina, $4,000; Illinois $4,000; Connecti-
cut $4,000; Virginia 10000, and Pennsyl-
vania, $4,000, sc.
THE Coshocton paper mill was sold on the
2Sth ultimo at public sale, for $S,OOO.-
Messrs. A. j. Wilkin, Houston Hay, E. T. q
A. II. Spangler were the purchasers. We
understand the new proprietors intend put
ting the mill in operation soon.

NEW YORK, March pa dispatch re-
ceived by the Southern Relief committee
from Washington states, on the authority
of Gen.. Howard, that although the pro-
posed Congressional appropriation of ST.
100000 for the relief of the suffering poor
in the South will be passed, private con-
tributions should not be curtaiIed. Gen.
Howard says: In addition 10 the million
dollars from Congress, $500000 should be
raised by the people. Governor Jenkins
telegraphs that the destitutiOn in
Georgia number 600 900 whites and 10000
blacks, which is largely in excess of How
ards former estimate, and it is believed the
real destitution in South Carolina is even
larger than Georgia. Government has
given the Relief Committee free use of the

week with full cargo of corn. Her ca
pacity is about 25,GO0 bushels. The COM
mittee hope to be able to obtain another
