Last Friday Samuel Farley killed one Of
the largest catamounts ever seen in the
county. The cat had been killing sheep
in the neighborhood, and Mr.. Farley,
with two hounds, got on his track. The
dogs ran the cat about ten miles, and 1t
at last ran up tree. Mr.. Farley coming
I'D shot him out, bnt the cat after being
shot through whipped the two dogs,
| which are said TO be the best in the
county, and would have got away but
for Mr.. Farley and good club. A few
nights after this Mr.. Farley caught
four large coons. and a few nights after
that he caught ten more, making four
teen coons in two nights. Mr.. Farley
and his dogs are almost equal 10 Nlmrod
Of old.
A young Mr.. Barley, raised by Mr..
Chris. Carlisle, of Monroe county, was
accidentally shot in the postofiice at AL
derson about o'clock Tuesday evening
last. by pistol in the hands OF young
Mr.. Alt. Elmore. Barley had made
some jocular remark to Gilmore, and in
response. the latter took down an old
revolver that had lain on the mantel for
months unused, and aimed it at his
friend. when TO his horror. it was dis
charged. The bullet, which was OF Il
30 calibre, struck Barley in the mouth,
knocking out two teeth and lodging In
the roof OF his mouth, from whence IL
has since been extracted. No serious
results from the wound are now APP
pretended. The escape was a narrow
one.
Ira Bartlett, son Of Postmaster
y. l.. Bartlett, and lately promoted TO
freight conductor on the Fourth divs-
ion, made desperately narrow escape
from horrible and, perhaps, fatal acct
dent last Friday night, near Littleton.
BY some means he was thrown down
alongside the track and with the thigh
of his left leg Immediately across the
rail in front of moving wheel. .Fortu-
natey, however, the heel OF his right
boot rested on the rail and the flange
catching the heavy boot heel so far pro-
tected the leg over the rail as to throw
the great weight of the car from the
limb and thus saved the bone. The
flesh, however. was badly cut and lac
Grated.
Capt John d, Martin, of the steamer
VIM. Wagner, met with singular acct
dent at Charleston Il few days ago. He
had bottle of oil on his boat which got
too close to the boiler and exploded.
The fragments of the bottle were blown
into his hand and wrist and cut an ar
terry in his wrist. 1t blcd very freely
and he soon tainted from loss OF blood.
Medical assistance was soon called, how
ever. and he was restored TO conscious
ness and the flow of blood stopped. He
was still very weak from the loss OF
blood and had to be taken home to re-
cuperata.

Is years of age, was brought To the AL
