The people thereabouts read this paper
with avidity, and they like it. They
are also good hunters. Some are born
that way, and require no teaching TO
become adopts, but are SO from the
time they can toddle. They are not,
however, wholly used to the kind of
game that has recently infested their
neighborhood. Beaver, black bear,
'possum, coons and smaller animals
are all right, water fowl are Pie, but
panther is something they are not
used to.
1t is about the carnivorous panther
that this item had its origin. A couple
of the varmints were seen the other
day on plantation near Olive Branch,
and they created a sensation. The
entire population turned out to
slay the animals; shotguns, bowie
knives, cane cutters, scythes,
everything in the shape of
weapons were brought into requisi.
ton, and from early dawn to the dusk
of day during the past week, the
woods have been secured. Up to
last accounts the animals had not
been captured or slaughtered, but the
populace are bent on Kidding their
country of such unwelcome assOcia-
tions. Not darky has been known
to stalk forth after night-fall since
the panthers were first seen, and
every chicken roasted secure and un-
molested, while meeting houses are
empty and are likely to remain SO
until panthers are no more.
In this connection it may be we'll
to relate that a geneine hunter from
old "Kentuck" was in the city,
straight from the COldwater swampS,
and not very far from Olive Branch.
He had the forefoot of a panther as
a trophy. BE shot it through the
body, up a tree, and carried its hide
aud paw off as evidence Of the fact.
The same hunter relates his expe.
rience with black bear down in the
Coldwater canebrakes thus wise: He
says, upon first going to that vicinity
six weeks ago, he mounted a
mule and rode out for exercise,
forgetting to take gun along. Going
mile or two out, and near
the swamps he espied a bear up a
tree" He rode quickly to the spot,
yelled at the top Of his voice for some
one to fetch a gun, took his hat of
and shook it at Bruin to scare him
farther up the limb, but it didu't
work. The beast began to come down
backward. Getting within ten feet Of
the earth the bear threw his head
back, cast an eye downward and
growled rather ominously, as much as
to say, "Get away from that" Their
he let go all holds and dropped tc
earth. Then the mule, at one leap
cleared dozen feet Or more, throwiui
the rider. He tumbled directly on the
back of the bear, and to this moment
| he isn't certain whetb6r the bear OF

a Much Marrying Man.

In the town Of West Alexander, Pa,
twelve miles from the. Ohio and two
miles from the West Virginia line,
lives Il magistrate who is reported to
have married 1900 couples within two
years, and to have built a fine house
with his wedding fees. His popularity
arises from the fact that the laws of
Pennsylvania do not require a marriage
license, while those of the neighboring
states do. lie will marry a couple
without their leaving their carriage, or
he will allow them to remain all night
and take breakfast with him, charging
jndiciously for board and lodging. His
regular charge for marrying a couple is
50. lie sometimes has from three to
five couples at a time waiting to be
made one, and all in n hurry, from fear
lest those who pursue will catch up in
time to forbid the banns. Sometimes
an outraged father, or terrible big
brother of the bride, arrives after the
ceremony is over, and proceeds u vent
his rage on the winds and make dire
threatenings, and wen offer violence.
In an emergency such as this, the mag
istrate's son, who is his fathers consta-
BILE, lays the serious charge of disorderly
conduct against them. AT one time a
relative in pursuit of a bride was so
violent that il became impossible for
the constable to arrest him, when the
whole town rose en- masse and put the
offender in Jail. The place is properly
known as "Hardscrabble," and when
John Norris, a detective of Springfield,
Ohio, from whom the Cincinnati Gazette
got the facts, inquired the reason, he
was told by an inhabitant that it was
because it was such a hard scrabble
for runaway couples to get there before
their parents caught up.n.

herds from Australia, believing that
wool can be grown as eheaplyAere, with
the added advantage Of q much better
market.
John l. Hayes, president of the na-
tional association Of wool manufaetuI-
ers, read a paper on the products re
quired By looms and the best modes OF
producing them in the United States.
He attributed the falling cf in the pro-
duetion of fine woods to the fact that
the manufacturers will not pay high
prices for fine woods, because the pres
ent fashions created a demand for
coarse wool clothes.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed: That it is advisable that the de-
partment of agriculture institute a reg
lister of the different breeds of sheep
and cattle in the United Staten; that
the convention urgently urge upon con-
gress the Importance Of establishing in
the district of Columbia an expert
mental farm, TO be maintained at the
expense of the government, for the pur-
pose of acquiring and maintaining the
best species Of domesticated animals,
and especially of sheep and cattle, for
distribution among the states.

Dispatches from London, Jan. 10th,
give the following news: The Holly
head mail arrived IL hours late in Lon
don. Twelve inches Of snow stopped
all traffic at 10 O'Clock in the morning.
Trains ceased running at IL, omnibuses
at noon; cabs and hansomes being the
only vehicles left since then. Business
Is practically suspended. Londoners do
not remember such total stoppage of
busy life. Travellers arriving had to
stay at the nearest hotels. Theaters
are deserted. AT her majesty's scarcely
100 persons were present, only four per-
sons occupying stalls; Booth, at the
Princess, made his first appearance as
Iago, before a scanty audience. Be-
tween 10 and IL o'clock at night the
only vehicle seen in Fleet street was a
solitary hansome, with an extra horse
attached 60 draw a single occupant.
Curious silence prevails. The recent
frost having frozen the water pipes, the
unusual sight is seen on the streets of
water being offered for sale to supply
Londoners with b. -.kfast and tea.
