GRANVILLE MoSTELLE IN A NEW RoLE--
4 gentleman who was recently in Selma,
Ala, informs us that while standing on a
sircet-corner in that city he was surprised to
see near him the notorious Granville Mon
teilc. Recognizing him ut once, for he had
known him before, he accosted him with an
old familiar phrase. The notorious horse
thief, on being thus suddenly addressed,
turned and eyed his questioner with pccu-
liar expression. The gentleman not wishing
to create suspicion. and tlcsirous OF drawne
him into conversation. asked if his name was
not johnson. and If he was not from Ar-
ysista. lie replied "No: my name is Jones,
and am liyin. here" The gentleman still
maintaining his 'ncognsto, finally succeeded
in drawing MoRtele into conversation,
when he found that he had been living
in Selma for some time, and belonged to the
sporting fraternity. Montclle complained of
dull times, hut the numerous rewards for
stock lately stolen in the vicinity Of Selma
was pretty conclusive evidence to the con-
trary. and also indicated that he had not cll-
tircly forsakcn his old pursuits, though
oStcnsiLlv engaged i'll another business.
The Chief of Police Of Selma was In
formed Of these circumstances, and immed:-
ately tclcgraphed to Major Poe, of this city.
for description Of Moutelle, and to know il
any reward was pending for the arrest of
this notorious character. Major Poe an
swercd that no reward was offered, but sent
a description OF the fugitive.
Montelle, who has been styled the Dick
Turpin Of the South, has been at large--cvcr
since he escaped from the Virginia pcni-
| tentiary--for several years; and some of his
adventures are equal to those Of that notori-
ouS outlaw. Virginia has been free from his
raids " for some time and his whereabouts
have been unknown until discovered as we
have related
During his sojourn in Selma he has been
| up before the courts on several occasions to
| answer for swindling at cards, but has al
| ways managed to eude conviction and
| escape. Judging from his past good fortune
in escaping the fate he merits, those who in.
dulge in fatalism arc justified in the belief
that the hemp destined TO hang the fellow is

visit the marsh on the other side Of the
river. While over there. standing in the
marsh near pool Of water. he noticed
that something was goingon in it that one
is not accustomed to see every day. and on
investigating the spla'ter that was being
made in the water, found ihata very large
'I,occasiu and a good sized catfish were
having a terrible fight. The occurrence
was highly interesting to him and he got
as near as possible to see what would
be the end Of it.
The comhatants were fearfu'ly in earn
est and terribly energetic in their effort,
to aunihia'e each other. The catfish
would make daring passes ut the snake
always using his fins to stick his au'apon
isi with. and the snake 90 the other hand
would have to be equally energetic IN
keeping clear of the sharp points of th'
cati.hc's fins The moccasin would throw
himself into striking position, and struck
very fast, 10 order 70 be equal with 'hr
frantic surgcs Of the catfish. At last The
catfish in making pass at the snake
struck his sharp fin somewhere in ten
der part Of the snakes belly, and the moe
casn in turn clinched the catfish in til,
back Of the neck Ia this posilinn' hot'
antagonists c'ung to each other until they
were both dead the poison in both seemed
equal The tight lasted about twenty min
utes, including the last cliuch of the con
testants.
