A DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A
COON,

Little Henry Cooper, while fishing in
the Alapaha river few days ago, had
his attention attracted, and on looking
around him discovered large coon sp.
preaching stealthily with his ears turned
back. Before he had time to consider
the situation, he coon sprang at him and
seized him by the leg, and began biting
and squalling at a terrible rate. The boy
was being badly hurt as well as fright.
ened, and set up tremendous squall
himself, at the same time making all the
resistance possible against his unwsl.
come visitor. He first seized the intru.
der with his hand, Whereupon the coon
bit him severely in the arm. The fight
was kept up some little time, during
which the coon got in his work of lac
Grafton on the arms; hands and legs al
ternately until the boys mother, who
happened to be about one hundred
yards from the interesting scene, arrived.
The anxious mother, in order to relieve
the boy, seized the coon with her hands,
whereupon he fastened his teeth in her
wrist and for a little while the contest
was lively between the three. The des
perate coon in the meantime seized upon
the boys arm again, whereupon the
mother took from the boys pocket his
knife, and after disemboweling the coon
he sill held on firmly and not until his
throat was cut did he relax his hold

THE JEWS IN SPAIN.

Cour ged 80 terrible fate, is an incioent
of more than passing interest, 1t is evi
dent that the prest Mt ru ers OF Spain, In
reading the history Of their native land,
have not failed to dwell upon that trsg
episode, when all belonged TO the faith Of
Israel, including many who were among
the m ost gifted and patriotic Of Spanish
subj 4Cts, wer1 driven forth amid accom-.
paniments of tx leme cruelty and untold
suffering. And nov the luCkless de-
scendants of the exile Hebrews OF the
fifteenth century, many of whom ulti.
mately fund their way to Poland and
Russia, are welcomed back and offered
an asylum and hCme. This is a mark
of pro. ress that is invested by the asso
Citations it recalls, with eloquent impr ss.
ivene.s, and that will be hailed with
hopefu,ness and satisfaction by the civ.
iliz9d world
That some of the leading families of

The distinguished Spanish noble, whose

A Possible Colleague FOR Some OF the NObby
Senators.
George Avery was, at one time, very
notorious character in northern Penn
sylvania, and will be remembered by
many in that section. In 1870, he was
charged with the murder of James Hay es
Of Rowlands, Pennsylvania, and was
tried for the crime, but by some means
succeeded in getting acquitted, While
being brought to Milford, the county seat
of Pike county, the officer who had nim
in charge got blind drunk, and Av Try
took care Of him, took him to hotel
and finally brought him safely to Mil.
ford, and, while the officer was yet in a
drunken stupor, Avery went to the Jail
keeper and delivered himself up. He
was confined in Jail until after he was
tried and acquitted OF murder. Then he
was arrested and convicted Of burglary
and SO ltenCed to two YEARS in the peni-
tentiary. He served his term, reading
law during that time. After being dis
charged he came back to his old home;
had several persons who had testified
against him arrested for perjury, fAi ed
to make out his case and had to pay the
costs. He had no money, 30 he went to
Jail till his friends could scrape together
enough n oney to get him out. Burgla.
ries were numer lus then, and many
times was he charged with crimes. but
there never was enough evidence to con.
vict him. Finally, he moved to Oil City,
Pennsylvania, started in business as a
lawyer, made money rapidly but, get.
ting caught in forging notes, he as sent
to the Western penitentiary for two
years. While there he fell in love with
the keepers daughter, and she offered to
assist him to escape, but he refused
point blank, aud, upon being discharged
about two years ago, went West, where
he speCulated in mines and ran law
office.
The Port JerVis Gazette says that
news has been received there of his mar
riage and sudden acquisition of wealth.
A few months ago he Struck it rich"
and ia now worth several hundred thou.
sand dollars. He sent for the prison
