special says: a conference between Gene
rails Palacias and Cortina and the Govern
ment treasurer resulted in a call 1lnon the
merchants for u loan of 800, 900. but the NOR.
chahtS refused TO subscribe. Cortina is s,,-

ana serious trouble Is apprchendcd. Gene
raj Paaclas is almost isolated. 1t is rllmored
that Tllla has pronounced in favor of Diaz,
which, if true, stops the only road open
hence TO the capital. General Quiroga has
left Monterey for Micr with number of
cavalry, and may reach the latter place in
two days. General Trcvino will follow with
n portion of his army, and it is expected he
will try to reach this place"

A Desperate Race.

Some years ago a convivial party met
in the principal hotel of the capitol OF
the old Buckley State (Ohio). Many
were the stories and adventures told by
the company. One man in particular
had Just finished narritive which was
regarded by his auditors as being lit
lie more than marvellous, when a Sena-
tor, who happened to be one of the
party, cody remarked that the story
lust told was all very well, but it did not
begin to compare with an adventure he
himself had few years before. OF
course all were eager to hear the story,
more especially because it was true, and
the Senator prefaced his remarks with
saving that what he was about to relate
he would most solemnly proclaim to be
the truth, except, Of course, those mat
ters therein stated on information and
belief. The company, however, inter
rupted him, and insisted that he should
go on.
FWell, gentlemen, many years ago !
came down the Ohio river, and settled
near the present site of Cincinnati. 1t
was very wild in that region then, for
Cincinnati was only small settlement,
and the blasted redskins were almost as
thick as trees in the forest. Well, to
come at once to my adventure: | started
off one morning pretty early to take a
hunt, and travelled long way down the
river over the hills, but could not find
bear or deer. About four o clock in the
afternoon made tracks for home. By
and by / sees a buck just ahead of me
walking leisurely down the river. i
slipped up with my faithful old dog close
in my rear, to within clever shooting dis
tance, and Just as the buck stuck his nose
down to drink, l drew bead upon his
top-knot, and over he went, whenI came
up and relieved him by cutting his
throat.
"Well, but what had that to do with
an adventure" )" they asked.
"a great deal, by Joye. For while |
was busy skinning the hind quarters of
the buck and slowing away the kidney
fat in my hunting shirt, l heard noise,
made, no doubt, by moccasin; my dog
also heard it, and started up to recon-
noitre, and lost no time in reloading
my rifle. ! had hardly got my priming
out before my dog raised how, and
broke through the brush with his tail
down, as he was not used to doing, un-

NEW PROvIDENcE. TENN. July Ii, 1871.
Editors Tobacco Leaf:
About nine o'clock this morning our
quiet little city was thrown into a state
Of wild excitement, occasioned by the
discovery of huge reptile in the pond
lying Immediately in rear Of Trahern &
CARROTS store. Mr.. W. H. Smith, who
was engaged in prizing tobacco in the
basement room adjacent to the pond,
was attracted by an unusual noise in the
water and upon going out to ascertain
the cause, discovered the monster cir
cling around the pond with its head
some four feet above the surface of the
water and occasionally, with its tail,
throwing the water some fifteen feet in
hight, or in the language of Mr.. Smith,
" literally knocking the bottom out of
the pond"
Mr.. Smith hurried to the store, gave
the alarm, and seizing douhle-barrel
shotgun and couple. of navy pistols,
returned and fred tweve shots at the
monster, without seeming effect. The
excitement spread rapidly, and by this
time quite a regiment Of citizens had
drawn themselves up in line Of battle in
front of the enemy, and others were
fastening forward, armed with sticks,
fence rails, rocks, hay forks and ice
hooks, and in fact any kind of instru-
ment Of destruction that came to hand,
and a brisk firing was commenced and
kept up for some time. But all efforts
to extinguish the hideous reptile seemed
in vain, whilst his anger and struggles in
the water grew more violent under the
showering missiles of various kinds. The
pond was now pretty well surrounded by
the crowd, who we're careful to keep at a
respectful distance lest the monster
should at any time attempt to escape from
the water, which it finally did upon a lot
of old barrels being rolled down the hill
into the pond, and put all hands to
fight and turned the tide of battle in
the snakes favor. In the pell-mell rush
of the crowd, one little boy was knocked
