Coon Hunting.

The historian of this affair locates it in
| Sugar Hollow. The heroes are two color
ed men who have been on foray for coons
| and, having expended their powder and
| ardOr without success, are on their return
home in very sick and depressed mood.
During the transit through the Hollow
one of them detected coon perched on
The limb of a way5ide tree. This was a
very fortunate occurrence, butas the party
was without ammunition, it seemed as il
they would nave to take out the chance in
observation and a few desultory remarks
But one of them offered to go up the tree
and shake the coon out, while the other
remained on the ground in charge of the
dog. He accordingly assembled. When he
reached the limb, the coon had gone out
TO its further end, and there awaited the
attack. He moved out on the limb as far
as he dared, and proceeded to shake it.
while thus engaged there was sudden
snap between him and the trunk, and he
just had time to note this and hug to the
limb when he went down, and after being
wrapped against the tree, swung out again
and remained suspended, with the coon
below him. Looking down to see where
the coon was, he was somewhat startled to
find that excellent animal making move
ment upwards.
With hands engaged in keeping himself
from being dashed to pieces, he was no sort
to his companion for help, but that gentle
man was powerless, and being himself in
position of safety, very naturally sug-
gested to the man up tho tree that he pray
Pray" said the victim, to whom the
proposition apparently appeared more sur
prising than comforting. "Of course, -
said the man on the ground, becoming
more confident in the artifice as he more
fully realized his own safety. "What shall
pray?" cried the victim. Anything"
said the Other-"Now 1 lay me down to
sleep" he suggested; and very remark
able and appropriate suggestion it was, too,
to man who was glued TO hanging limb
twenty feet from the earth, and expected
every instant to lose the calf of his leg So
he screamed out, "Now lay me down.
then there was another snap, and he had
just time to add. "Look out for that id
dog, Phineas," when he and the limb and
coon descended, and he went bounding off
the bank and into the road. The dog
escaped, we are glad TO say. But the coon
was secured. And at its discussion as a
potpie the next day, the cause Of its death
lost sight entirely of his precarious condi-
ton and wonderful deliverance.- DanJury

North Carolina CounterreitersI Convicted.

An AsheYille IN. c. letter to the New
York Tribune, of the,17tn, gives the follow
ing result of the counterfeit trials at that
point in the United States Court:
Judge Dick has concluded the labors of
this session of his court ut Asheville, and
last Saturday it was adjourned. The Court
has been employed in trying the persons
charged with issuing and dealing in coun-
terfeit money, and the records of Saturday
night show the following convictions: Da-
vid Frazier, for passing and dealing IN
counterfeit gold coin of the denomination
of $3.50, was sentenced to hard laborin the
penitentiary for three years. Lee Booker,
a resident and planter in West Virginia,
was convicted as q wholesale dealer. ia
son s. Hyde, who was formerly the High
Sheriff of Graham county, was found gull
ty of conspiracy with others to pass and
deal in counterfeit money, and was sem
fenced to hard labor for two years and TO
pay q me of 81 600. The fact came out in
his trial that this man, hitherto trusted
with the execution of the law, has been
for years hand-and-g glove with robbers.
Adam Gable was sentenced for two years at
hard labor and o fine of 81 900. He is q
rich planter of Chewoah, Graham county.
He is one of the most Misunderstanding Of
the gang, but his wealth has enabled him
to shield himself from the consequences of
his numerous crimes. Joel Doving receiv-
ed similar sentence. He has been one of
the most active of the dealers and "shov-
ers" in THE State. h. l.. ID. Burchfield, of
Charleston, Swain county, got the full ben
eft of the law-two years and fine of
81 900. During the war, he was first in the
Confederate service, and then captain in
the Union army. The result of his trial is
a very satisfactory one to the law-abiding
citizens of this State, and reflects the high
est credit upon the brave and most efficient
officers of the secret service of the Govern
ment, whose skill has brought him to his
Just deserts. Mrs. Louisa Pennelly was
only given six months in Jail. She was
arrested in Knoxville. When arrested she
had some 5000 in counterfeit money on her
person. Mrs r. L. d. Burchfeld was con-
victed, but in consideration of sex, and the
fact that she has babe about eight months
old, her sentence was suspended.

Cuban News by Mail,

Capt. Fry's appeal to the Spanish au-
thorities is published. In it he asks no
thing for himself but all for his crew,
many of whom, he says, were entirely ig-
nOrant OF the destination of the Nirginus
when she left Kingston, and for several
equally innocent passengers, he pleaded
strongly. Capt. Fry closes his letter as
follows: "The Consul knows well that l
am not pleading for my life. | have not
prayed to God for it, nor even to the'Bless-
ed Mother / have neither home nor
country, victim of war and prosecutions.
The way of prosperity being closed for me
to such point that | have not been able to
provide bread for my wife and seven chill
dren, who know what it is to suffer for the
necessaries of life. My life is one of suffer-
me as the providence of God. 1t is not for
me, therefore, to ask favors OF any one.
oUTGIvINGs OF A CABINET MEETING.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ola Cabinet min
lister said this evening that whatever the
people who are c!amoring for war in the
streets and the newspapers may think, /
can tell them that those who know most
about it dread war the most.n The Pres
ident, he said, was adverse to war, and
dreaded its consequences. He would eX-
haust all honorable means to maintain
peace, and would regard war as last re-
sort. There were, however, things worse
than war. 1t would not do to let the flag
be insulted or our ambassador to be spurned.
If it comes to war, Phil. Sheridan could
land with ten thousand troops in Cuba
and hold the island. War would result
in annexation, whether we desired Cuba
or not.-SpccidL to the Louisville Courier
Journal.

WEBSTER, GREELEY. CHASE.


The poem contributed by Miss Edna Dean
Proctor on the occasion of the commemorate
of the bicentenuial settlement of the State of
New Hamshire, by the New Hampshire His
torica Society at the State Capital, has just been
published. In the course of the poem three
distinguished sons Of New Hampshire, Mr.
Webster, Mr. Greeley and Chief Justice Chase,
are thus alluded to:
One in the shadow of long kearsarge
Nurtured for power, like the tabled charge
OF the gods, by Peion's woody marge;
SO lofty his eloquence, stately his mien,
That, could he have walked the Olympian plain
The worshiping, wondering crowds had seen
Jove descended DER the feast to reign
And One, with brow as Balders fair
And his life the grandest of love and peace -
Easing the burdens the race must bear,
Toiling for good he might not share,
Till his white soul found its glad release
And One-a tall Corinthian column,
OF the Temple of Justice, prop and pride
The judge unstained, the patriot tried
Gone to the bar supernal, solemn,
Nor left his peer by Themis' side
All when the Old World counts her Kings,
And from splendor of castle and palace brings
The dainty lords her monarchies mold,
Well turn to the hills and say, Behold
Webster and Greeley and Chase for three
Princes of our Democracy ~
