The Piedmont correspondent of the
Greenville Mountaineer says: "Mr. w.
G. Owens, of Brnshy Creek Township,
Anderson County, came into our der; the
other day, with paste.board box under
his arm, which he said contained some
kind of a monster for which he wanted a
name. On examination We found thft he
had in his possession one of those strange
and curious animals or reptiles called a
chameleon. He had found. it in cotton
patch, on Sam Wilson's plantation in the
above named locality. It was alive and
lively, but how did 1t come in this part of
the world; perhaps the cyclone that drop
ped those Spanish dollars about which the
Daily Neos and the Net0s and Courier
have been bandying words, also dropped
this chameleon.
