would come in sight it would jump
out among the dogs, and if one was
in the way seize it and tear it
terribly and bound away before the
others could reach it. But toward
evening it became tired and finally
took refuge in a tree, where it re-
manned until the hunters could ap-
proach near enough to get a shot.
They shot seven balls into it before
it fell from the tree. When it fell
it seized Dog, and in
its dying struggles tore
it horribly until it died. The hun

about in its dying struggles, causing

KINGSTON, March 20, 1879.

KINGSTON, March 20, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: There was killed
near Obcds river, Morgan county,
on last Thursday, one of the largest
panthers ever killed in this section.
Several times last winter and fall it
was seen and heard in the neighbor-
hood where it was killed. Il had
killed a great many sheep and hogs,
but one had been able to get close
enough to have shot at it. On
last Tuesday news came to town
that it had been seen deYouring a
sheep in a wild region where Dad
dy's creek enters into Obeds river,
in Morgan county, fourteen miles
from Kingston. Two of our veteran
hunters, Mr.. J. M. Sturges and
Col. Sam. Ladd, determined to go
out and see if they could not secure
its skin. They took with them
half dozen good hounds, three of
which were destined never to come
back alive. On last Thursday

EAST TENNESSEE WESLEYAN
UNIVERSITY,
Public Entertainment by The Phi
lOmathean Literary Society.
From our Occasional Correspondent

rom our occasional correspondent
ATHENS, March 20, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: An:unusualIy large
audience, completely filing the
capacious chapel Of the University,
assembled this evening to witness
a public exhibition given by the
Philomathean Literary Society.
The exercises were commenced BY
an inspiring piece Of music, excel
lently rendered by the University
orchestra, followed by declama-
ton by ". L. Davis. This selec-
ton, "The Drunkard's Death"
from Dickens, was rendered in q
very appropriate and creditable
manner. II. G. Hitchcock, editor
Of Tile PHjLomatheGn, next read the
current number Of that periodical,
which was uncommonly well pre-
pared, containing a great variety Of
entertaining and instructive matter,
and was read in manner which
added not little to its interest. |
The debate, which came after the /.
paper, was one Of the most inter
esting features Of the entertain
ment. The question was the old
and yeXed one Of the Protective .
Tariff, and was discussed in q
remarkably able manner by the cons
te8tants, r. G. Bramlett, for free
trade, aud r D. WhittIe, in favor
of the tariff.
J. II. Hurley next appeared,
with a very comic defamation, even
more comically delivered. This eff
fort was, Of its kind. a decided
success, and repeatedly brought
down the house.
An essay, by Douglas Caulkins,
with the unique title, "The Two
Stringed Harp" followed. The
"strings" of Mr.. Caulkins' "harp"
were the soul Of nature and the soul
of man; and his essay was exceed /
ingly well-written, and read very
clearly and distinctly /
An Grafton upon 1.-The Survival
of the Fitte8t," by R. J. Cooke, was
next in order. This was one Of the
most th6ughtfully prepared produce
tions to Which we have for long
time had the pleasure Of listening.
In happiness of conception, ele-
gance of expression and excellence
of delivery, it alike excelled.
L. II. Massey, the President Of
the Society, then addressed few
eminently appropriate and we'll
chosen closing remarks, after which
the audience dispersed. /
We think the society has just
reason to feel proud of the
success attained by every particip-
ant in this exhibition. The enter,
as a whole, was even a /
little above the average Philoma-
thean standard, and this the past 6
has proven to be one not easily ex-
;elled.
The music, for its excellence, de,
serves especial mention. An ele-
5ant and beautiful new banner,
which the society has recently pur~
chased, occupied a prominent posi-
ion in front Of the stage, and was
he object Of universal admiration.

A Singular Cat Story.

A queer cat story comes from Preston,
Connecticut. A farmer had been troub-
led with rats for some time, and finally
purchased a cat that was recommended
as good mouser. The cat sustained its
reputation, and rats were soon unknown
in the house, and the farmer congratu-
lated himself greatly. His dreams of
freedom were dispelled one day, hOwev-
er, by the cries of the servant girl, who
said that on going down cellar where
the eat was indulging in its noon
lay repast she saw large rat eating at
the tame dish with the cat, and solemn
ly averred that when she went toward
them the rat chased her and made her
run up stairs. The cat, she said, seemed
to enjoy his company, and seemed as if
charmed by the rat just as a snake
charms bird. The farmer would not
credit the story until he saw the same
thing a day or two afterward. He al
lowed the strange friendship to exist for
several days, the rat coming regularly
to partake of meals with the cat. FL
nally the farmer decided to put an end
to the singular friendship, and taking a
gun went to the cellar. No sooner, how
ever, had he fired at and missed it than
the cat jumped upon the rat and killed
it. Now the farmer wants to know why
the cat did not kill the rat before.

THE sequel of the Yazoo affair is CIV
en- in a special dispatch this morning.
Captain Henry N. Dixon, who on the
25th of July, was waited upon by dep
utation of Democrats, and persuaded to
withdraw his name as an Independent
candidate for Sheriff, and made to
pledge himself not to raise "the race
issue again." which he did, as he stated
in his card at the time, out of consider
alton for his friends and family. was as
sassinated yesterday. The dispatch says
the affair is "shrouded in mystery" Of
course it is. His cowardly assassins
simply waited for an opportunity to kill
him when no troublesome witnesses were
about But with all the facts before
them, our readers will not be at all puz-
zled to understand why he was murder
ed. His simple Offense was in present
ing himself to the voters of Yazoo coun-
ty as candidate for office against the
regular nominee of the Democratic
County Convention. 1t was necessary

How 10 Pack a Trunk.

Detroit Free Press.
Mr.. B0werman and wife left for the
country yesterday. One could tell that
their trunks were not over half full, as
they were pitched into the baggage car
with crash. They began packing a
week ago. When the subject was broach-
ed he said he preferred to pack his own
trunk, and he didn't propose to take a
whole month to it either. All he intend
ed to take along was an extra suit, and
he could throw that in most any way.
Night before last he began work. 1t
struck him that he had better put in an
extra pair of boots as foundation, and
he flung 'em in and braced 'em in the
corners with his clean shirts. The shirts
didn't seem to ride very well, which he
braced with two pairs of trousers. Then
he stuffed his Sunday coat pockets with
collars and cuffs, and found place for
it, used his white vests for "chinking,"
and the balance of his clothing Just fit
ted in nicely.

THE Missionaries in Japan are greatly
annoyed by the way in which they are
compelled to procure passports for trav-
ell. They are issued for each journey,
and must be renewed when another trip
is to be taken. A missionary travelling
without one is in danger of having his
head chopped off. The missionaries and
other foreign residents have now petit
toned the Government for the issue of
yearly passports, which shall be good in
all parts of the Empire. But the Japs,
with all their love for modern improve
ment, have still some relics of barbaric
fogyism, and there is much opposition
to the granting of what seems to US a
reasonable request.
