A Big Coon HuSr.-The Belair Hois of 18th

A BIG Coon HUNT.-The Belair Egis of 18th
inst, says: "The lower part of Gunpowder
Neck has lately been infested with raccoons
in such numbers that they have, in some in
stances, nearly destroyed whole fields Of corn.
Accordingly last Saturday Mr.. William Scarf,
an old and experienced coon and fox hunter,
organized an expedition 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 successful
hunt for these varmints has never before been
heard of in this county"

In the California Mail Bag for
August is sketch of the career Of
James Lick, whose extraordinary
disposition Of his immense property
in founding an asylum, an observa>

is well known to our readers. 1t
appears that he was born August 25,
1916, at fredericksburg, Lebanon
county, Pennsylvania, being Of Ger
man descent through his paternal
grandfather. His first occupation
was in an organ factory at Hanover,
in his native State +; afterwards he
obtained employment wiki piano
manufacturer in Baltimore. Short
|ly after the independence Of the
South American republics was de-
clared be embarked for Buenos
Ayres, and for q number Of years in
that country, Chill, and in Peru he
carried on the manufacture and sale
Of pianos chiefly, acquiring q tolera.

landed IN California, where his rea
estate investments in San Francisco
soon made him wealthy, and ended
| in making him millionaire Mr..

length in the Mail Bag, together
with Photographic likenesses Of him>
self and his seven trustees, (includ-
ing the present mayor Of the city
and two cx-mayors,) and Of Leland

Pacific railroad.
Besides the useful institutions
which Mr. Lick proposes 10 found,
it will be remembered that he also
appropriates $4,000 for the cree,
ton Of monument Ia San Francis

HOW sAMBo MADE LAGER BEER
Scars CREEK, Conn Co.,
Sept. Goth, 1874. )

"YE LocAL":--Seeing that you
| are on the rampage for items, send
| you the following as the "latest ago
n.y." and which il true tale.
There rusticates in this vicinity q
gentleman of the colcsed persuasion
who rejoices in the euphonistic cou-
glomeration of Isaac Esaw; though
some of his friends who have de-
cided prediction for calling things
by their right nance have SO tar
modified this as to substitute that
sobriquet of Ike Fatal. He is not
remarkable for his Intelligence or
anything else save the thickness OF
his lips and a physiognomy gotten
up in total disregard of Hogarth's
line of beauty.
Well, few days sipce and Ike
took strange within ihto his GRAMS
UNI. He swore by ALI She gods that
he wanted som ''loggerS beer" and
that he was going "to Maryetter 70
git it" as this was all that would
bring rest to his wear) soul or drive
phantom people sorrslw from his
weary breast. Whether he was
crossed in love and prompted to this
step or merely desired& 'leetle" for
his stomach's sake, our Informant
sayeth not, but we are alone certain
that he wanted some ''logger beer"
/ imagine that just such frenzy as
Ike's, possessed Byron when he
wrote s'Fill the Goble. Again." in
which he says:
"Fill the goblet again, for Lnever before
Felt the glow that gladdens my heart to the
core.
Ike was only pursuaded to give
up his pilgrimage to the shrine of
DutchIand's god, Athe promise
that he should be indoctrinated into
the great secret Of making ''logger
beer" The modus opefandi to be
pursued was to get q green gourd,
remove the greater part Of the vis>
cera and then boil in u Ter until he
had a strong decoctiont1tich on be-
ing supplied with sacsb arine matter
would be ode stuff" Ike got three
gourds, load Of pine 4nots and q
wash pot, and then after a series Of
manipulations according to direc-
lions. he found himself rewarded
with a liquor which "didn't smell
zackIy like logger beer" but con>
| cluded that it would do.
The next thing on the programme
was the guzzling and he got about It
with vim. After gnlping down
about half dozen pints Of this "nec
tar of the gods" the bright idea
struck him to score the number upon
stick, and jus, at this juncture he
received warning from the abdo-
minal regions telling him that "there
was something rotten in Denmark"
This was followed by scene which
would have feigned to make one be-
lieve that young Htaa had burst
forth with all her pent Up fury. To
give likes version, he says that "dat
logger turned gin do nigger's stom-
lex and de next ting dat mis- digger
knowed he didn't know nnffin.
