A BIG COOK IIUNT.-The lower part of
Gunpowder Neck has lately been infested
with raccoons, in such numbers that they
bavc, In some instances, nearly destroyed
whole fields of corn. Accordingly last Sat
urday Mr. William Scarf, an old and expert
enccd coon and fox hunter organized an expe-
dtion to hunt them The party consisted of
Mr. Scarf John Burrier, John Sweeting and
Mr. Hutton. They had seven dogs About
nine o'clock in the morning the dogs were
let go, and the sport commenced in earnest.
In about three hours they captured no less
than fifteen coons. Besides these three more
were killed by the dogs in the marsh but
could not be gotten out two were run into
the ground, and three freed and escaped from
the dogs. In one place five coons were found
in an eagles nest, one of the party climbing
the tree and throwing them out. Such a
successful hunt for these varmints has never
before been heard of in this county.

AFLAGHAST NU1sANcE.-Compl has been
made to us of a nuisance existing at the cor
ner of Magazine and Toledano streets, OF q
turn table at the head of the Upper Magazine
street car company.
This turn table is situated Immediately in
the middle of the street, surrounded by a
wooden curb Of about six inches IN helght,
which materially interferes with the passing
of any vehicles, compelling them to make
long detour, and take at times another street.
We hope the car company will look to this,
and remedy the evil as soon as they convent
emily can.

A Southern Vendetta.

The Herringtons and the Bowens are neigh
bors, but not friends. They live near the
vayside station of Haddock, on the Macon
and Augusta Railroad, in Georgia. The ha-
tired which exists between the families oriSi-
mated in some trifng quarrel years ago.
There's blood in the prtnway between them
now, and the way for reconciliation is not
open any more. The last act in the warfare
OF the clans took place few days ago. A
number Of persons had gathered at the sta
ton, and old man Thomas Bowen and hi
two sons, James and Blount, of the clan, were
there also David and William Harrington.
Old man Thomas Bowen, for some cause, felt
impelled to call David Harrington a con-
demned coward Of course, this insinuation
was a cdsus beUi and Harrington proposed to
fight it out then and there.
The battle opened. Old man Bowen drew
a pistol and shot David Harrington; in an
other instant one Of the young Bowens fired
also, emptying the contents of double
barrelled shotgun in the already wounded
man, and struck him as he fell with the gun
he had just discharged. The battle then
ragged promiscuously, twenty or thirty shots
were fired, David Harrington was killed out
right, William Harrington, his brother, was
Bowen was shot in the shoulder and his son
James received a shot in the abdomen The
Bowens vowed venegence on the Harrington
clan, and the tragedy created no little excite
ment at Haddock station. David Harrington
was regarded as desperate character, having
only a short time ago taken the life of young
Hardeman. a friend Of the Bowens. He al
| last met a tragic end at the hands of those
upon whom he had warred for several years.
Other lives must be surrendered IN this ter
rible vendetta.

A telegraphc dispatch, dated April
18th, to the N. Y. Sun says: "The f.
naucial policy of the Administration
has ruined the iron producing interest
of Pennsylvania, and to-day it is in a
wretched and stagnated condition. Over
fifty blast furnaces are idle and over a
dozen Of the leading rolling mills and
iron works have suspended. On top of
this dlscouraging situation the puddlers
and workers in the various departments
ofthe trade have determined upon a
strike, and are already pressing their
demands at various establishments in
Reading and at other points in the
.Schuylkill and Lehigh valleys. The
National Union held a secret conference
in Reading few days ago and determ-
ined to ask for the wages paid before
the panic. At that place several estab-
lishInents have ceased operations on
account of the strike, which is expected
to become general before the end of the
week. 1t is estimated that over fifty
thousand hands engaged in the iron
tEade are now idle"

Memphis, April 14.--B. T. johnson,

Tenn, was shot and fatally wounded

London, april ia shocking ex-
ploson occurred to-day in coal mine
at Dunkinfed, near Ashtonrunder-the
Tyne Lancashire. A large number of
miners were killed and injured, many
of the latter being terribly burned.
Thus far thirty bodies have been recov-
cred, and it is feared many more remain
in the mine. A later dispatch from
Ashton, under Tyne, states that forty
six bodies have recovered from mine at
Dunkinfeld, in which the explosion o.
cured to-day. These are believed to
have been all that were killed. One
hundred men, who were left in the
mine alive after the accident, have been
safely rescued. There is intense excite
ment at Dnnkinfeld. The explosion
was caused by the use of naked lights.

A special dispatch, from Washington
to the Boston Post, dated Arril 18TH,
says "a very strong and well organiz-
cd movement is Oh foot to bring about
the immediate recongition of the inde.,
pendence of the Cuban Republic by the
United States. II has been quietly
worked up in high Administration and
Congressional circles during the past
few days. The scheme will be sprung
upon Congress in a. day or two, prob
ably Tomorrow, by leading Radical
Congressman. The reason and neces-
sity assigned for orprompt and immediate
action is the alleged fact that English
agents are known to be actively engag-
ed in endeavors to affect he situation by
the purchase by Great Britan;of the
Island of Cuba, and this lively agitation
of the subject here has for its object the
circumventlon of the English schemers. 1"

The Hon. Robert b. ElIott's eulogy

was an eloquent and feeling tribute,
and was listened To with absorbing at
tention throughout. The following was
the orators peroration;
To have lived such life were glory
enough. Success was not needed to per.

but success cane. What amazing CON
trasts did his life witnessl lie heard the
hundred guns which Boston fired for the
passage OF the Fugitive Slave act, and
lie saw Boston sending forth with
honors and blessings a regimeut of fug-
tive slaves to save that Dglop which the
crime Of her Webster had imperilled
He saw Franklin Pierce employing the
power OF the nation TO force back one
helpless fugitive to the hell of slavery,
and lie saw Abraham Lincoln write the
edlct OF emancipation. He heard Taney
declare that "the black man had no
rights which the white man was bound
70 respect" and he welcomed Reyels to
his seat as Senator of the United
States. But AS defeat could not dam
pen his aidor, sosuccess could not abate
his zeal. lie fell while bearing aloit the
same bapper of human rights which Is
years before he had unfprled and lifted
