A party Of West Chester hunters con :
sisting q. q. Trautmann and Howard
johnson and George Thompson waile on
hunting expedition encountered col
ored monarch Of the woods near WolleY
Hollow, West Goshen, Tuesday. The
men were rabbit hunting, when one OF
them came across a hut rudely impro-
vised and consisting of a number Of rails
placed on end, and laid slantingly against
tree, and covered on top by an old rub
Der coat. He called the attention Of
the others to the matter, and asked them
to make Investigations. On entering
the hut, they discovered a large col
ored man seated against the tree, over
a small fire at which he was warming
himself The man had neither hat,
shoes, nor stockings His feet was
bleeding and his trousers muddy, which
gave the impression that he had walked
long distance through mud and bushes.
When accosted he refused to answer and
kept his head bent between his hands.
The hunters talked with him for some
time, bub he refused to give them any
information respecting himself. They
finally left him having the impression
/ that he was demented.
