Explanatory,

Our Maryville correspondent thinks the rem
contre in that place last week was not entitled
to be ranked above tsticuff fight. In speak
ing of the fight between Owens and Shelly, he
says the former was not cut, though he was SO
drunk he thought he was.
There CHANGED to be no sheriff or constable
in town, and Esquire Garner Immediately Is
sued warrant and deputized an officer when
the parties were arrested and held in custody
until Monday, when they were dealt with &C
cording to law.
This is simple statement Of facts. Nobody
was knocked down, neither was anybody down
except Owens, who came to the feet of Shelly,
as we are satisfied, from the effects of the liquor
that was in him.

A Snake Story

The interest attaching to snake stories will
probably last for long time yet. Sam Wins
tells the latest, however. The article in the
Post is headed " Attacked by a Coachwhip,'
and if one only read the caption, the inference
would be that some juvenile had got thresh-
ing by some Jehu, only this and nothing more A;
but it seems it was veritable serpent Here it
Is. The scene is laid in McMinn county, near
Athens: A negro boy fourteen or fifteen years
old had an unpleasant encounter last Monday
afternoon with a snake of the species known as
"a coachwhip" The boy says he was out in the
neighborhood Of the Morley Fields, about a
mile from town, gathering up some milk COWS
which frequently Craze in that direction When
first discovered the snake was repoSing at full
length across the road. 1t didn't seem disposed
ty move out of the way, and the boy picked up
little stick and threw at it, hitting 1t two or
three inches below the head. Immediately and
as quick as lightning the snake grabbed It's tail
in It's mouth and rolled towards him like hoop
and before he could wheel to run it straighten-
cd itself and commenced flashing him round the
legs. He broke at once for town at the top Of
his speed, the snake, which seemed to be in
spired by the spirit of an old slave-driver, fol-
lowing and every twenty or thirty yards I'M
hopping itself and popping him, as the boy
termed it. hard and fast. The bow wasn't
much hurt but pretty badly frightened
