Wild Sports in the Metropolis of GeOrgia.

Yesterday afternoon Decatur street was n
lively scene of disorder This condition of af-
fairs was caused by n crowd Of nearly 100 men
and boys, who were endcavoring to lasso a wild
hog that had escaped from the slaughter pen
near the stockade, aud when pursued ran in the
direction of the city.
The opinion Of the vast army Of pursuers
who were endeavoring to capture the animal,
was that when the hog left the pen il did so for
the purpose of hunting up something TO eat.
Upon all other matters its mind twas quiet and
serene, but the interference Of the pursuers
caused it 10 90 mad. As the animal rushed
down Decatur street the crowd increased. Sew
eral of the pursucrs were mounted, and one or
two boys equipped with lassOs. One plucky in
diyidual who seemed TO have more bravery
than Judgment, upon overtaking the animal,
rushed upon il, and endeavored to throw the
hog down by main force.
No sooner did he throw his arms around the
hId quarters of the hog than the animal turn
cd about, and with his teeth lassOed the adven-
turer by the seat Of his trousers The proceed
ings then assumed great change. The man
let go his hold OH the hog and called in the
assistance of his friends 10 release him from
the seat Of his trousers, IS the hog brought its
teeth together rs If il meant them TO stay.
When the belligerents were separated the hog
was in possession Of section of his assailants
clothing, and the man with the ventilated
trousers took to his heels for the purpose of
hunting a hole in the ground. Soon after this
occurrence one Of the pursuers, who was armed
with a lasso, by a dexterous throw landed the
furious quadruped on his back, and he was
carried back to the slaughter pen. The hog
weighed 800 pounds, and was in splendid fight
ing trim.
