a Remarkable Hunter.


Wilburn Waters is the name OF a remarka-
bic man, known as the hermit of the White
Top, and the greatest hunter Of the age. The
Abingdon ViTginidn says of him.
after an absence of two years, during
which time he has been wandering through the
peaks and spurs of the Blue Ridge killing
bears and wolves, he returnedto his cabin on
Saturday last, when we had the pleasure Of
meeting him an hour or two after his arrival
He is now 55 years old, and has spent about
so years of his life alone, devoting his time to
hunting and trapping. He informed US on
Saturday that he had, during his hermit life,
killed 100 bears, IS wolves, more than 400
deer, and a number of wildcats or catamOunts,
having killed some 90 Of the latter during the
last year.
Altogether, Wilbum is remarkable man,
and withal an humble christian. He starts
again on a trapping tour in Mitchell County,
n. c., but expects to be back at the White Top,
at the time Of the rally on the last day of
August"

not get at his gun for the panther. But ia
the very energy and frenzy Of despair, he start

An old farmer communicates TO US the fol-
lowing receipt to prevent wheat from moldins
in bins " In piling up your wheat after it has
been cleaned with the fan, to every three bush
els put in a good hard brick, dried by the sun,
and be sure it is perfectly dry at the same timo
you Use it. The brick absorbs the moisture
that naturally accumulates in the grain, and
causes the wheat to become hard and iinty.
