A Coon Hunt.

Two of our prominent citizens started
out to hunt the playful coons, the other
night. The air was lovely, why shouldn't
it be Everything portended delight
full night. Ambition, hope, determine
ton, belligerency, beamed on their hand
some countenances. Death to eoons,
was their motto A shotgun aimed at
the ground was scientifically carried by
one, and an immense lunch-basket by
the other. Tho coons should be scarce
tho danger was in the air tho heav-
en- and earth should fall-still will we
eat,. oh, Horatio! Two noble dogs fol-
lowed at their delicately -chiseled heels
The party proceeded rapidly to the
scene of disaster, some distance from
town, and having arrived upon the
ground, laid their diabolical plans, and
took some lunch; after Which the elder
Nimrod let the dogs loose, seereted HIM
self behind some bushes, and aeaited Z
while the other carefully deposited HIM
self at some distance from the first, and
also waited. After three hours of watch
ing, the excited banks of the dogs were
heard, and dark form dashed by MIN
rod, Sr. Instantly the report of a gun
broke the stiffness of the night, and, al
most simultaneously with it, two heart
rending yells were heard-one from the
dog, who was somewhat Int, and the
other from Nimrod, Jr., who was not
hit, but who, in agonizing tones, cried
out, "For Gods sake, shoot the other
barrel in the air your shot fell all
around me-" 1t Is unnecessary to add
that the other barrel was not shot into
the air; but subdued murmur Of en-
phatic CALCULATIONS issued from the
bushes where Nimrod, ST., was wrestl-
ing with disOrganlzed shoulder, result
ing from an overloaded gun. However,
matters were soon righted, and, after
short consultation and VOW of secrecy,
and liberal and prolonged indulgence
in ham-saudwiches, thickly coated with
mustard and boiled eggs, which left their
lips in a condition for soap-aftcr al Of
these preparations, the twain returned
to town The conclusions they arrived
at were Tnat Nimrod, Sr., should have
withheld his firing till the dogs had freed
the coon that in case he did fire he
should aim for the armament, so as not
to hit his friend that he should have
put nothing but powder in his gun, in
stead of putting both loads into one
barrel, which mistake it was found he
made that he should have given war
ming to his friend before firing, SO that
the latter could commence 10 say his
prayers that Nimrod, Jr., should not
have been in the way when the gun was
fired that the latter should have kept a
horn-to blow, not take-to warn his
friend of his proximity; that neither, in
case of dislOcatiOn to the ir shoulders or
arms, should use gin-slings as a support
that both should insure their lives if
they should go hunting again; and
finally, in case of the latter event hap
pening, that they leave their guns at
home and take along some salt to put on
the coons tail, as the best method for
capturing the animal in question.

One of the most eminent lawyers in

Farmers will be interested to know
that an agriculturist has discovered an
insect that will destroy the potato-bug.
There is one slight objection to this new
bug, however. 1t bores into the potato
to lie in wait for the other bug. Nat
urally the potato suffers. The agricul-
turist fondly hopes to discover another
bug that will destroy the bug that des-
troys the potato bug.
A colored debating society in Trenton,
Tenn, has just debated the question,
(Which is the most profit to man

was met, however, by the irrepressible
argument that Gift want for money, how

at once decided in favor of money.

AWKWARD ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY
AT about eleven o'clock last evening the
basement Of Lewis drug store, corner
Of Merchants Row and West street, was
burglariously entered by breaking win
dow and entering from the back stairs,
and removing the bar from the inside of
the door. In moving about in the base
ment, or attempting to ascend the stairs
leading to the store, the burglar made so
much noise as to attract the attention of
James Crowley, who has a saloon in the
same block, and he Immediately went 10
reconnoitre, but before he arrived at the
place of entrance the scamp had made
his escape.
If an attempt was made to get into
The store room it failed, as there were
no indications of any person having been
IN there, and the doors and windows
were all fastened as left, except this
window and door in the basement. The
room entered is used as store room for
liquors, paints, oils and medicines, and
The indications of the work done there is
so slight as to be scarcely noticed, ex-
cept from the open door and window.
II the burglar only desired a pleasant
Drink, he could have been accommodate

strength from nitro glycerine to rain

probably scared off before he got enough
