BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
Four Young Ladies' Have an Excit-
ing Adventure with a Boar.

Four Young Ladies' Have an Excit-
ing Adventure with a Boar.
Not many days ago. says the Monticello
Ola. Constitution, Miss Ivie Patterson,
of Savannah, Ga, who is on a visit here to
relatives, in company with Mrs. John l..
Taylor, spent the day at the latter's
father-in-law, Mr.. G. I. Taylor, ST., who
resides few miles east of Monticello. 1t
rained nearly all the morning OF the day
of hervisit, and in the afternoon the young
ladies, accompanied by Misses Maggie and
Lily Taylor, concluded to take a stroll
toward the watermelon patch, which is
located near large, dense swamp about
a half mile from the house. They took
with them light dOuble-barrel shot gun
with which to shoot any small game or
ugly snake that might come their way.
a negro man also left the house about the
same time the young ladies did, to 20 in
the humm0ck, bordering the swamp re-
ferred to above, for a load of wood.
They arrived at the watermelon patch,
and, as customary, Immediately began a
humping contest, and when there was
any doubt as TO the ripeness of the fruit,
would stand upon it to see if they could
hear it crush, and if so, 1t was plucked,
cut, and the jolly four, who were enjoying
| themselves as only girls can when there
dI6 none vi Iu6 OOyS aTOuuu 10 place u
restraint upon them, would draw up a
large melon (pulled to carry to the
house on the wagon) and use it for a
chair. Little did they think how soon
that scene Of mirth and jollity was to be
turned into one of fright aud confusion.
The colored man had not placed many
sticks of wood upon his wagon before the
noise startled large bear from his lair.
which passed near enough to the mules
to make them snort and attempt to run
away. The bear came out of the woods
near the watermelon patch, and the I'M
suspecting four were laughing and
chatting merrily over their feast of melon
and the good time they we're having gen
orally. One of them discovered bruins
approach, and then there ensued q scene
of fright and confusion. With a jerk,
jump and a scream Miss 1vie and Miss
Lily started in a run for the house. Mrs.
Taylor and Miss Maggie made grab for
the gun, whichw secured by one Of them,
and brought it to bear upon the APP
preaching brute. There was cannon
like report, and--what else? Bruin
changed his course, the gun was picked
up with the muzzle pointing the opposite
direction from the approach of the bear,
and somebody was In a terrible plight.
The gun had been charged to shoot an
alligator. Who will say there's no danger
in q girl ?

The Melon Grower.

FROM tNe DHIcaOW lUds) 0eiC9.
The farmer that raises melons for mar.
ket has bis trials and difficulties as well
as the farmer that makes cotton. In the
spring season, when everything is favor
able for crop, and the vines are looking
healthy and luxuriant and the little mel
ons begin to show their shapes and every
promise for a good yield, and buoyed up
with the hope OF goOd prices, he can feast
on the beautiful panorama that is spread
out before him.
There is no crop that is 80 beautiful 70

melon vines, dotted here and there with a
twenty or forty-pound melon, and every

The scene changes, the melons are
ripening, the best market is being sought

A Drummer Sues Pensacola.

From the Pensacola (F1a.) Aaodnce Gasette.
Last Saturday morning, representing
himself as j. 5. Schuck, a drummer for
the house of Forch & Bro, Baltimore,
came to the Advance-Gazette office and
stated that he had been arrested by the po-
lice for selling goods without license !;
that be was arrested at night and put in
jail, tried before the Municipal court the
next morning and fined s25; on his failure
to pay the fine he was remanded TO Jail and
kept there for thirty.six hours and was
then released and told to go. After his
release Schuck says he consulted William
Fisher, ESQ.,, member Of the Pensacola
bar, and employed him to bring suit for
S., 900 damages.
Hutchinson and from him got the follow
ing: Schuck was arrested by the police,
but 1t was on charge of vagrancy or as
being suspicious character, he having
in several instances visited small stores
and groceries, and representing himself
as drummer for the Baltimore house,
would take orders for goods, after
which he would invariably try to get
q check for $40 dashed. This
aroused the suspicious of his prospective
customers, several of whom reported the
case to the police, when the arrest was
made. The case was tried before Presi-
dent Hutchinson next morning, when
Schuck produced kilograms corroborating
his story of being in the employ OF Torsch
81 Bro. The charge OF vagrancy was dis
missed, but the President ind him $25 for
drumming without a license. President
Hutchinson subsequently found that
the municipality could not legally col
lect a license or fine drummer for
falling to get a license, and thereupon he
ordered the immediate release OF the
prisoner. President Hutchinson knew
nothing ofthe damage suit, but said that
he released the man as soon as he found
that he was not subject TO fine before
the Municipal Court.
Schuck's suspicious conduct was the
cause Of his arrest, though ii the te le-
grams were true be was really drumming
for the house. yet his appearance was not
calculated TO inspire very high estim ate
OF himself or his house.

FOR THE FRONTIER,
The Military Spirit of Rome Aroused
Over the Mexican Trouble.
From Che Rome tGaJ Courier.

From The Rome tGd.I Courier.
Since the first publications of the trouble
on the frontier have been made the young
men of Rome have been greatly inter-
ested, and the columns OF the newspapers
have been day after day closely scanned
for any new development. Every men,
ton Of the trouble added additional In
terest, until now it may be trnthfully
said that the military spirit OF
Rome Is fully aroused. The ambi-
tious youths of this city dream by night
and think by day of fights with the
Greasers, and, should troops be ordered
to the frontier, it Is possible that Rome
will furnish one or more comDanles. Sew
eral of the members of the Hill City Ca
diets are in for going, and there are num-
Der of young men ready to volunteer
to go with them. 1t is even gravely
limited that some of our Oldest citi-
Zens are talking about showing the
boys the way they SIT enduring the
late war" and it wouldn't be surprising if
a company Of them didn't go to drilling on
back street in few days. There are
some scramble over the positions in the
companies among some of the most am
bilious. There will be good many can
didates for the captaincies, and. strange
to say. several are hankering for the COM
missary. But be this as 1t may, there
will be plenty of privates to fill the ranks.

That Telegram.

From the DdtosOB (Gd.l R6qos.
One day last week Capt. Laing, OF the
Dawson Guards, received a bogus tele-
gram from the Adjutant General telling
him TO hold his company in readiness TO
90 to Mexico. When the telegram was
being shown around there was great ex-
citemeut among our citizens. Especially
were some OF the military company in
great distress. One young man, when told
OF the trouble, said that he had written his
resignation out three weeks previous and
had 1t ready TO send up for the company
to act on, and besides, said he, can't
leave my business. Several OF the boys
bad their excuses, all of whom we can
forgive, but there is one Of whom IL pains
our heart to speak. The very man In the
military company who ought TO have
shown hie valor and love and respect for
the press Of America, hardened his
heart and refused TO 40 to tue rescue OF
our brother editor incarcerated Dv stran-
gers In a foreign land. We speak OF
Brother Rainy, OF the Journal, who, when
told that he must go TO Mexico, said that
he did not vote for Gordon. Let the war
horse be trotted out first. That may be a
good excuse, friend. but the press was ex-
pecting better things Of you.

Our NEXT states Attorney,

Hosea Mann, jr., is an upright high-minded
young man of excellent natural abilities, and
is well-read lawyer but without experience
in practice. He is said to have passed good
examination on his admission to the bar in
1882, but was diverted from the pursuit of
hia profession by the duties of the treasurer
ship of the Wilmington savings bank, to
which he received an election before he had
attained his majority-whioh shows what
confidence the people in his section of the
county have placed in him. He resigned that
office about year ago in order to study and
qualify himself for the practice of law, filling
in his leisure time by placing loans on west
ern mortgages, in which business be has been
successful. In the natural course of things
his official duties will be light until the next
March term of county court, when he will
not be found wanting in qualifications for his
office.

MoNTrELIER, June II, 1856.
Editor Rurd IeTm0Ater:
Allow me to correct the impression that is
said to exist among the soldiers of our state,
that S,nator Edmunds is unfrtndly and in
different to the soldiers claims and rights
It is a rule OF Senator Eimunds's life to an
swer every letter received by him. In prose-
cutting soldiers claims for bounties, pensions,
etc, have no doubt written hundreds of
letters asking his assistance in various ways
to hasten decisions IN delayed claims. Ihaye
received his advice and assistance promptly
and cheerfully in every instance. Whatever
he does is always done in a mastery and sat
isfactory manner. Soldiers themselves have
often written him concerning their claims,
and l should be surprised to learn of a single
case where Mr.. Edmunds received such re-
quest that he neglected to answer it or give
il due attention. His knowledge OF the pen
sion law is not surpassed by any senator ex-
cept, perhaps, Mr.. Teller. Such knowledge
makes his assistance always valuable. He
would not be likely, as did member of the
house Of representatives recently, to intro
duce a private bill to pension woman as
mother of a soldier when she could hardly
be called a step mother, not marrying the
soldiers father until after the death OF the
soldier. 1t has also been reported that Sena-
tor Edmunds discourages the prosecution of
Vermonts war claim against the United
States. Before the last session of the legisla-
ture received a letter from him on this sub
| ject in which he expressed different opinion
and said he thought it well for the state audi
tor to make an examination Of the claims
with the view of having a part or all pre-
scented to the general government for payment.
1t was with his assistance and influence that,
some years ago, Vermont was paid about
| 500, 600 on such claims. Day after day he
appeared before the treasury department al
Washington with the state auditor and advo
Gated the cause of Vermont. Such actions in
behalf Of the soldiers and the state are notneV
with him, but are in accord with his uniform
course from the beginning. 1t would be 6
calamity TO the interest of the soldiers as vel
as to the state to retire Senator Edmunds.
