A Monster Alligator.

cambridge Ca Democrat.
Reuben Cloud, who lives In the lower
part OF this county, and who, by the
way, is crack shot with his rifle, recently
killed the largest alligator seen in this
section in years. His 'gatorship had been
depredating for long while upon the
cattle and hogs of those farmers living In
the fork of Spring creek and Flint river,
and many had been the rifle balls that
had fattened against his adsmantine
skull to no purpose. He had taken
up his abode in large, deep lagoon
in that locality, and an eventide and in
the early morning his believing could be
heard for miles, almost equaling in terrible
force the roar of the lion. Learning his
haunts, Mr.. Cloud set to work to kill him,
and one day recently, filling his powder
horn with powder and shot-bsg with
bullets, set fourth to hunt him. He
found him summing on a log, and, fearing
that he would become alarmed, shot him
first, at about enc hundred yards,
in the hinder part of the body.
This shot entered the bowels, and
the writings Of the monster were fearful
to behold, and created a commotjon in
| the waSer almost equal to herd Of wild
horses. He soon sought landing, how
ever, and crswled out again upon tree
| top believing like mad bull. Drawing
higher, Mr.. Cloud continued to perforate
his abdominal cavity until no less than a
dozen half-ounce rifle balls were lodged
in him, and he lay still, dead. He was
then drawn out, skinned, and his head
taken off for the tusks and teeth. The
monster measured IL feet inches from
the tip of nose to the end of tail, and c
feet A inches from end to end o. fore feet
across the back, and would have weighed
probably 500 pounds. His skin was
brought to town lind sold on Saturday
Sixty-five Of his teeth and tusks weighed
one and a half pounds. His stomach
contained parts Of the remains of one OIL
more large hogs.

One OF the bloodhounds belonging to
an "Uncle Toms Cabin combination
was seized by the Chief of Police of White
Plains, N. Y, one day last week, as
security for hotel bill. Before the Chief
reached the station house with
his hostage, however, the dog
decided to go bsok to the hotel and
persuaded the Chief to let him have his
own way. On the way thither the dog
dragged the Chief against a lamp post
with such unexpected suddenness that he
let go the rope by which the hound was
leading him and sat down very quickly
upon the sidewalk. The dog went on to
the hotel, while the Chief meandered
slowly homeward and caused the Town
Commissioners to be informed of his adveI
ture. The commissioners agreed that the
Chief would not be of much use on the
force for two weeks to come, and 80 gave
him vacation for that length of time
and advised him to lay in stock o.
