the air and nonchalance of bonan.
IA king; bought dry-goods and fam
ily groceries, fancy articles, for all
of whic.: he paid in silver dollars
All night Jones and his new made
friends sat up, smoked cigars, drank
fine whiskey and ate oysters, and had
a rip-roaring time generally. Thurs.
day morning, Mr.. Jones lcpa' ted for
his home on the classic banks of the
Right-hand-chute well supplied with
all the neccssaries of life, and leav-
ing a most favorable Impression on
th.. minds of those whom he had pa
tronizcd. About noon time, when
everybody were waiting for the mail
to be opened, the merchants and sa-
loon keepers who had been the re-
cipients of his patronage began to
compare sales, and by accident were
led to examine some of the large, fat
looking silver dollars which they had
received from him, when their joy
was turned to sadness. Those large
fat looking silver dollars were like
dead sea applcs--a base imitation.
Since the above, and as we go to
press, Jones Sam Jones, ian old
citizen too, but no relation to the
Georgia preacher of that namc) has
been brought back under arrest, on
a warrant issued upon the affidavit
of one of his victims. He is now in
Jail, and will be given an opportuni-
ty to explain how he came in pos
session Of so many counterfeit silver
dollars.

The hunters of the neighbor-
hood, after feasting ON squirrel, tur-
keys, ducks &C., have evidently be-
come tired of shooting such small
game and are now turning their at
tention to larger game. Mr.. Good
man, last Monday, bagged Il Panther,
which measured nine feet in length;
and on Wednesday Mr.. Jules Shcr-
rill aud Mr.. Manchester succeeded
in bagging three bears-a female
and her cubs. Again, ON the same
day, colored man on Carson Lake,
chased Il large bear out of his corn
field and ran it up tree, and hitch
ing his horse under it, to keep the
bear from coming down, went to his
cabin after his gun, and returning
shot it dead. Game of every de-
scription is said to be so plentiful in
the swamps this season, that we
shouldn't be surprised if at any time
we saw some of our crack sportsncn
Juggling in a buffalo, elk, or Rocky
Mountain GRIZZLY.
