new pin since its recent renovation. Not

One day this week Mr.. Samuel b. Foard |
of this town while out exercising favorite
bird dog, flushed in field near the town a
small covey Of cartridges all grown birds.
AS the last bird rose close at his feet, he
struck at it with short stick, which he |
held in his hand, and to his surprise knock
ed it down, the bird falling wing broken. |
After some trouble he found the bird and |
brought il home, his friends now asserting |
with gun. The only case we can recall |
in this vicinity, that excels Mr. Ford's feat,
was that of Harry Howard of R4ndalia who |
few years ago, just at dusk, brought down |
with club one of two wild geese that were |
flying very low over his head.
On Friday night of last week Mark |
Cannon who is employed by Malvern Jones |
as hand on the farm of DR.. Mackall at |
Elk Landing, and who was sleeping in the |
barn, was aroused by the sound of voices, to |
find two men near him in conversation. One !
he took to be a white man the other a negro. |
The predatory gentlemen were evidently |
under the impression that the barn was oc-
cupied only by quadrupeds, FIR they were |
certainly planning a nice little scheme to |
run off horse or two without the consent |
of the owner. A word from Mark however
put them 20 flight, and by the time he had |
returned with a comrade, the unexpected |
visitors had decamped. That they had de- |
parted hastily was shown by the foot prints
they left in the soft earth outside the barn. |
