Lion Killed in Mississippi.

From a gentleman of our city, who
couversed with a person tha, knows
of what he speaks, we obtain iufOr.
formation of an extraordinary even {
occurring in Monroe county last week
Mr.. George Coleman. a young man
OF twenty three or twenty.four, living
three miles from Prairie Station, was
informed one day last week by a SER
want girl that she had just seen a
"bear as big as COW in the edge of
the woods" a short distance from
Mr.. Colcman's place. Ilor excited
manner ut once reused his curiosity
aud armiug himself with his Spencer
rifle, loaded with twelve balls, he
started out in search of the monster.
He was accompanied by servant and
large aud very fierce bull dog.
Arriving at the spot, a brief survey
soon discovered to him tho object Of
his search in the shape Of genuine
lion.
The beast at the sight Of the man,
Sprang into the branches Of dead
tree, aud there waited further devel,
opmeut. Mr.. Coleman, who is des
cribed as very cool aud daring, did
not allow him to wait long, for ele-
ylting his rife, be at cnce discharg.
ed several loads at him, which caused
the beast to spring from his position
on his foe. Quick as thought, Mr..
Coleman continued e ing till he had
exhausted all his charges, the second
shot, as he afterward discovered.
passing clear through the body of
the beast without disabling him. And
now came the tug of war. Tho lion,
infuriated with his wound, and with
glaring eyes, reached the ground near
Mr.. Coleman at the first leap, and
made second spring a moment af.
tcrward. Nothing but the courage
of his dog saved Mr.. c. from instant
destruction. The noble animal
threw himself on the king of beasts
ere he reached his victim, and seizing
him by the nose, though Knocked
about as feather, fought him so
tenaciously that the lion abandoned
Ills purpose, and, by a single bound,
seated himself on the lower limb Of u
treo about twelve feet from the
ground.
At this moment Mr.. Colemau's
servant handed him double barrclled
gun, which he had brought along
he advanced almost Immediately un.
der the beast, took an aim that was
to seal his own fate for lite or death,
fred both barrels, and brought the
lion dying to the ground.
On measurement the lion was found
to be nearly nine feet in length, aud
to weigh ono hundred and eighty
pounds. lie had white spot on his
breast, was a twany color, aud showed
al In. -s.a>.k as ,s.-.A------i----ii---.
DR.. Hurd Of Monroe, who is c0Ssid-
crably skilled in natural history, says
there is no doubt of his species, and
has his head for preservation. Our
readers are assured there is no hum
bug about the affair. The only way
VIC can account for the presence of a
lion in this country is to identify
this one with the animal that es.
capped from the mapagerie at Forrest,
Mississippi, about two weeks since.
Both are described as males, and of
ferocious temper.-C Columbus ( Miss }

When Emancipation Took Place.
Not at date Of Proclamation, January 1st,
1863-Decision Of the Supreme Court OF
North Carolina
In the case of Harrell VS.. Watson, from
Hartford county, Chief Justice Pearson
delivered the following opinion on Monday
last, all the Justices cOncurring:
We listened with pleasure to the argu-
ment of Mr.. Yates. He was candid, and
seems to have investigated the subject with
much diligence but we cannot concur in
his conclusions.
He says, the bond is void for want of a
consideration. The reply is: LIST. A bond
needs no consideration. The solemn act
of sealing and delivering is a decd, thing
done, which, by the rule Of the common
law, has full force and effect, without any
consideration. N<o'una paci,tn, applies only
to simple contracts-deeds need no consid-
Grafton except such as take effect under the
doctrine of uses, or such as are made void
by tho statutes of Elizabeth as against
creditors and purchasers for valuable con-
sideration, but are valid as to common law
between the parties.
This is a misapprehension of the law in
to which many of the profession seem to
have fallen by reason of inaccuracy in
Blackstones Commentaries, who, we take
occasion to say, is popular, and not an
accurate text writer like Coke or Team
For instance. Blackstone adopts the defni-
ton given by Coke of deed-"an instru-
ment of writing on parchment or paper
sealed and delivered"-and yet he after
wards goes on to say, "a deed must be sup
ported by q sufficient consideration. His
remark is evidently to be understood, as
having reference to deeds taking effect I'M
der the doctrine of use, and to the statutes
of Elizabeth. For, beyond all question, a
deed is binding between the parties with
out any consideration.
I'd. There was, in our case, valuable
consideration. The slave bargalned for
was delivered to the defendant at the date
of sale in September 1864 and he had his
services until 1866, and upon the suppose
ton that the thing sold, to wit, the negro,
was in fact q freeman and not the subject
of sale from and after the proclamation of
January /, 1868. The defendant had notice
of this fact, as we'll as the plaintiff, and &C.
cording to the rule of law and of equity and
of justice in its ordinary sense, she who is
to have the gain should bear the loss" as
is said, Rain vs.. Parker, 63 NC, 13l.-
The matter depended upon future contln-
eencies, and the defendant gave his word
for the price and took the chances.
The reference made by Mr.. Yates to the
law authorizing an inquiry in regard to
contracts payable expressly or implicitly in
currency. and allowing jury to fix the
value thereof, has no application to our
case, for it turns not on the value, but on
the validity of the obligation sued upon.
In the second place, Mr.. Yates took the
position that the bond was void as against
the policy of the law, in this, by the proc
lamation of the President of January LIST.
