THE COON HUNT;
OR, A FENCY COUNTRY.
’Tis reallv Astonishing what a monstrus
sight of mischief there is in a pint of rum. If
one of’em was to be submitted to a anali
zntinn, as the doctors call it, it would be
found to contain all manner of devilment that
ever entered the head of man, from cursin i
and stealin up to murder, and whippin his ,
own mother, and nonsense cnnff to torn all i
the world out of their senses. It a man’s got
any badness in him, it’ll bring it out just as
sassafras tea does the measles, and it he’s a
good for nuthing sort of a feller,without no bad
traits in perticuler, it’ll bring out all his green- :
ness. It affects different people in different ;
wavs—it makes some men monstrus brave j
and full of fight, and some it makes cowards j
—some it makes rich and happy, and some j
poor and miserable; and it has a different es- j
feet on different people’s eyes—some it makes
sec double and some it makes so blind that
they can’t tell themselves from a side of ba
con. One of the worst cases of rum-foolery )
that I’ve heard of fora longtime, tuk place in
l’ineville last Fall.
Bill Sweny and Tom Culpepper is the two
greatest old coveys in our settlement for coon
imritin. The fact is, they don’t do much of
anything else, and when they can’t ketch
nothin, you may depend coons is scarce. —
Well, one night they had everything ready
fora regular hunt, but owin to some extra!
good fortin, Tom bad got a pocket-pistol, as
lie called it, of regular old Jimmakey, to keep
off the rumatios. After takin a good startin
born, they went out on their hunt, with their
lite-wood torch a hlaz.in, and the dogs barkin
and yelping like forty thousand. Every now
and then stoppin to wait for the dogs, they
would drink one another’s healths till they be
gan to feel very comfortable, and chatted- :
away about one thing and another, without j
ntindin much which way they were gwine.— j
Bimeby they cum to a fence. Well, over j
they got, ’thout much difficulty.
“ Who’s fence is this i” ses Bill.
“Taint no matter,” ses Tom, “let's take i
su’thin to drink.”
After takin a drink they went bn, wonder
ing what on yearth cum of the dogs. Next
thing they cum to was a terrible muddy:
branch. After pullin through the briers, and
gettiu on tother side,they tuck another drink,
and after gwine a little further they cum to
another fence—a monstrus high one this
time.
“ W hat upon yearth is we got too, Culpep
_pyr j” ses Bill, “ j never seed such a heap of
branches audiences in these parts.”
“ Tom, “it’s all old Sturlin’s do
ins—you know he is always buifdin fences
and making infernal improvements, as he calls
’em. But never mind—we’s through them
now.”
“ Guess we is,” ses Bill; “ here’s the alfired
est tall fences yet.”
Shure emiff, they was right agin another
fence. By this time, they begun to be con
siderable tired and limber in thejints,and it was
such a terrible high fence—Tom drapped the
last piece of the torch, and thar they was in
the dark.
“ Now you is done it,” says Bill.
Tom know’d he had, but lie thought it was
no use to grieve over spilled milk, so said he,
“ Never mind, old boss—cum ahead, and I’ll
take you out,” and the next minit kerslash he
went into the water.
Bill hung on to the fence with both hands
like he thought if was slewin round to throw
him off.
“I Icllow,Tom,”seshe,“ whar in the world
is you got to?”
“ Hero I is,” ses Tom, spouting the water
out of his mouth, and coffin like he’d swallow
ed something. “ Look out, thar is another
branch here.”
“ Name o’ sense whar is we ?” ses Bill.—
“If this isn't a fency country, dad fetch my
buttons.”
“ Yes, and a branchy one too !” ses Tom;
“ and the highest and thickest that I ever seed
in my born days.”
“ \\ hich way is you ?” ses Bill.
“ Here, rite over the branch.”
The next minit in Bill went up to his mid
dle in the branch.
“ Cum ahead,” ses Tom. “let’s go home.”
“Gum thunder! in such a place as this,
whar a man hain’t more’ll got his cote tail un
hitched from a fence, fore he’s over his head
and ears in the water.”
After gottin out and feel in about in the
dark a little, they got together again. After
takin another drink, thov sot out for home, j
“denouncing the fences and the branches, and j
hoi pin one another up now and then ; lmt they
hadn’t got more’n twenty yards fore they
lining up all standin in the middle of another
branch. After gettin through the branch
and gwine about ten stops, they were lining
to a bait by another fence. “ Dad blame inv
picture,” ses Bill, “if I don’t think we is be- j
witched. \\ ho upon yearth would build fen
ces all over creation this way ?”
It washout a hour's job to get over this one,
hut after they got on the top they found the
ground on tother side ’thout much trouble.—
H his time the bottle was broken, and they
cum monstrus near bavin a fight about the
catastrofy. But it was a very good tiling, it
was, tor crossin two or three more bran
ches. and elimbin as many more fences, it
got to lie daylight, and they found out that
they had been elimbin the .fame fence all j
Tt'aht, not more’n a hundred yards from whar j
they first come to it.
Bill Swenv ses he can’t account for it in
no other way but that the licker sort o’ turn
ed (heir beds, and he ses he does reel v be
lieve if it hadn’t gin out they’ll been elimbin
that same fence, and wadin that same branch
till yet. Bill promised his wife to jine the
1 emperance society, it she won’t never say *
no more bout the Coon Hunt.
> An Appalling Tragedy.
Suddenly the appalling and murderous voice
of an angry, blood-thirsty lion hurst upon lin
ear. within a few yards of us, followed by the
shrieking of the Hottentots. Again and i
again the murderous roar of attack was repeat
ed.
We heard John and Ruytor shriek—“ The
lion ! the lion ! ’ still tor a few moments we I
thought ho was hut chasing one of the dogs ‘
round the kraal; hut the next instant, John
Stofolus rushed into the midst of us, almost
speechless with terror, his eyes bursting from
their sockets, and shrieked out—
“ The lion! the lion! He has got Hend
rick ! he dragged him away from the fire be
side. I struck him with the burning brand
upon his head, hut lie would not let go his
hold. Oh, God! Hendrick is dead! Let
us take fire and seek him.”
The rest of my people rushed about, shriek
ing and yelling as if they were mad. 1 was
angry at them for their lolly, and told them
that if they did not stand still and keep quiet,
the lion would have another of us ; and that
very likely, there was a troop of them.
I ordered the dogs, which were nearlv all !
fast, to be made loose, and the fire increased
ns far as could he. I then shouted fiend- ■
rick’s name, but all was still. 1 t>*li my men
that Hendrick was dead, and that a regiment
of soldiers could not now help him, and limit- j
ing my dogs forward, I had everything i
! brought within the cattle kraal, when we !
lighted our fire and closed the entrance as j
| well as we could.
My terrified people sat round the fire with j
guns in their hands till the day broke, stiil
j fancying that every moment, the lion would
return and spring again into the midst of
I U: ’- _ . |
! \\ hen the dogs were first let go, the stupid j
brutes, as dogs often prove, when most re
quired, instead of g"ing at the lion, rushed i
fiercely on one another, and fought desperate- ;
ly for some minutes.
After this, they got his wind, and going at
1 him disclosed to us his position; they kept up a
i continual barking until the day dawned, the
j lion occasionally springing after them, and
! driving them in upon the kraal.
The horrible monster lay all night within j
forty yards of us, consuming the wretched
man whom lie had chosen for iiis prey. He
| then dragged him into a little hpllow at the
back of the thick bush, beside which the fire |
was kindled, and there he remained till the
day dawned, careless of our proximity.
It appeared that when the unfortunate j
Hendrick rose to drive in the oxen, the lion j
had watched him to his fireside, and he had .
scarcely lain down, when the animal rushed
upon him and Ruyter—for both lay under
| one blanket—with his appalling, murderous
roar, and roaring as he lay, grappled him
with his fearful elaws, and kept biting him on
the breast and shoulder, all the while feeling
for bis neck; having got hold of which, he at
once dragged him away backwards round the
bush into the dense shade.
As the lion lay upon the unfortunate man
he faintly cried—“ Help me, help me! Oh
: God, help me !”
After which the fearful beast got a hold of
! the neck, and then all was still, except that
I his comrades heard hones of his neck crack
j ing between the teeth of the lion.
John Stofolus had lain his back to the fire
i on the opposite side, and on hearing the lion
iie sprang up, and seizing a large flaming
brand lie had belabored him on the head with j
the burning wood; but the brute did not take ,
any notice of him. The bushman had a nar
row escape: he was not altogether scath
less, the lion having inflicted two gashes on
his seat, with his claws. —Five Years’ Ad ven

Susceptible Landlord.
“ I’ll let you the house,” said a landlord,
somewhat advanced in years, and a widower,
to a gentleman, a few days since, “on one
condition.”
“ What may that he ?”
“ That you will never allow your wife to
ask me for repairs !” •
“ Very singular request, sir.”
“ That may he, but I know. I have let the
house for twenty years, and I know.”
“ But, for what reason do you ask this con
dition ?”
“ I can never get away from these women
folks, without doing all they wish. Why,
sir, I let a little house to a widow lady, and
one day she met me and said, * Mr. , my
sink wants painting, and l think it will be
economy for you to have it done.’ I thought
so too, and I sent a painter; what do you
think? before I got out of the house, she had
so coaxed and bedeviled mA with reasons
and entreaties, that I gave an order to paint
the house from top to bottom. Agree to the
condition, and have it put in the lease, and
the house is yours as long as you want it”

ler’s exhortation “ to beware of vidders” ?

Physiological Fact.
A surgeon in the U. S. Army, recently de
sired to know the most common cause of en
listments. By permission of the captain of
a company, containing fifty-five, on a
pledge never to disclose the name of any offi- !
cer or private, except as a physical or meta
physical fact, the true* history was obtained
of every man. On investigation, it appeared
that nine-tenths enlisted on account of some
female difficulty; thirteen of them had
changed their names, and forty-three wore
either drunk, or partially so, at the time of!
their enlistment. Most of them were men of j
fine talents and learning, and about one-third
had once been in elevated stations in life.
Four had been lawyers, three doctors, and
three ministers. The experimenter believes,
it it were not for bis pledge of secrecy, that
this would be as interesting a history, and
would exhibit the frailtv of human nature as !
fully, as any experiments ever made on the
subject of the passions.
The True Christian.
The man of mere morality, is a stranger
to all the delicate and refined pleasures of
devotion. In works of beneficence and j
mercy, he may enjoy satisfaction. But his i
satisfaction is destitute of that glow of affec- j
tion, which enlivens the feelings of one who i
lilts his heart at the same time to the Father
ot the universe, and considers himself as imi
tating God. The man, again, who rests sole
ly in devotion, if that devotion opened not
his heart to humanity, not only remains a
stranger to the pleasures of beneficence, but
must often undergo the pain arising from had
passions. But when beneficence aiid devo
tion are united, they pour upon the man in
whom they meet, the full pleasures of a good
ami pure heart. His alms connect him with j
men: his prayers with God. He looks
\\ ithout dismay on both worlds. All nature
has. to him, a benign aspect. If engaged in
active life, lie is the friend of men; and he is
happy in the exertions of that friendship. If 1
lett in retirement, he walks among the works I
ot nature, as with God. Evers’ object is en- !
livened to him by the sense ot the Divine pres- !
once. Every where he traces the beneficent j
hand ot the Author of nature; and every
where, with glowing heart, ho hears and an
swers His'secret voice. ‘When he looks up j
to heaven, he rejoices in the thought that !
there dwells that God whom he serves and i
honors; that Saviour in whom he trusts; I
t.iat Spirit of grace from whose inspiration his 1
piety and his charity flow. When he looks j
around him on the world, he is soothed with
tne pleasing remembrance of good offices ‘
u hich he has done, or at least iias studied to
do, to many who dwell there. How comfor- I
table the reflection, that him no poor man !
can upbraid for having withheld his due;!
him no unfortunate man can reproach for 1
i having seen andff^^HS^m^sorrows; but
j that on his bead are descending the prayers
I of the needy and tlie aged, and that the
! hands of those whom his protection has sup
| ported, or his bounty lias fed, are lifted up in
j secret to bless him !
Life, pi ssed under the influence of such
dispositions, naturally leads to a happy end.
It is not enough to say, that faith and piety,
joined with active virtue, constitute the re
j quisitc preparation for heaven. They, in
! truth, begin the enjoyment of heaven. In
I every state of our existence, they form the
j chief ingredients of felicity. Hence they are
j the great marks of Christian regeneration,
j They are the signatures of that Holy Spirit
by which good men are said to be “ sealed
unto the day of redemption.”

CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT,
lx introducing: this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit
! the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, its diseov
! erer and inventor:
| The undersigned frankly states that he has proscribed
. this medicine for the la>r twenty-two years, in all forms
! of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success nh
paralleled in the annals of medicine : and lie lias no hes
itation in saying., that it is decidedly the most valuable
| remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain
! liil and distressing malady.
His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ea
ses, in which it has been used within the above named
! period,and in no single instance has it come to hisknowl
j edge, of its having tailed to effect a cure when perscreved
| in. Many of the eases were from four to ten years stand
i ing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex
j traordinary.is. that when the patient has beenonce re
i lieved. the disease i a permanently rural. remains so, not
I a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re- }
i turn.
All he would ask for this remedy is - a fair, impar
tial and patient trial, for tiie results he entertains no ap
prehension.
j Up to the time ot this discovery, the undersigned had
\ well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis
I ease,and is well assured, had consulted every author on
! its treatment, who had written or been translated into
j the English language, and had used all the remedies of
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with
however, very rarely any relief to poor sutiering hu
manity.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other
country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers have failed, und that heshall have been an humble in
strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human
family of a vast amount ofsuffering.

Col. A. B. Hasan —Sir,: It a fiords me great pleasure
to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy ana virtues
j of Dr. de Graffenrieds Rheumatic, Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with,
; what I believed to be. and what eminent Physicians of
this city pronounced. Rheumatic gout,for several winters
past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all
; the time. In January last, f had an attack as violent if
; not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about
three weeks; on your rcccorninendation I commenced
the use of this Liniment. (With l must confess but little
faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene
ficial from its first application. Jn a few days my back,
wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin
ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced,
with the use of less than one bottle. 1 have been in the
discharge of my ordinary business ever since.
I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most
efficacious remedy for this disease which I have ever met
with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all
who may be afflicted with it.

Dr. de Graffenried —Dear Sir. For the last twelve
years 1 have suffered very severely with the-Rheumatism,
having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to
my bed by it. 1 have had the best medical aid to he
found in various cities in the United States, with little
or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly
recommended remedies, which have failed to effect it
cure. 1 spent the bust summer at the White Sulphur and
Hot Springs in Virginia, to little pnrpi >se. After my return
home, Iso far recovered,as to he able to walk about a lit
tle. About six weeks since, I had a very severe attack
which again confined me to *uy bed, I was in great pain
andscarely able to move my limbs, witen a friend of
mine called and informed tne that you had discovered
an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst
them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from
him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu
matic Linament, and take pleasure in informinig you that
in less than twenty four hours from rfce first application
1 was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to
this time. lam now able to attend to business, and
fondly hope all those afflicted, as 1 have, been, may bp as

Dr. De Graffenried—Dearsir: I take pleasure in giv
j ing you the particulars ofmy affliction bv, and relieffrom
| Rheumatism. During the spring 0f1844 I was afflicted
with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism.
I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known
and used in similar cases, aided by medical advice, until
September. 1843, with no satisfactory result whatever.
1 was then induced, by a rheumatic, acquaintance, to trv
your Liniment, as something new, arid which had cured
him : and in one month, from the time I commenced the
application, I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as
I ever was, and have continued so to this time.

Columbus, October 30, 1319.
Dear Fir—About the first of April last, I came to Co
lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to
on you, as having a remedy that would afford tne
speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with
a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints
so badly, that I could not pull ofmy shoes without aid ;
nor could f ascend or descend steps, or pull off my
clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand
were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen;
the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not
bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu
matic Liniment uiv limbs three times, and was the next
morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with
out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room —I could
also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which
the previous day, I could not have clone if my life had de
pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bend my ling
ers, wich was an imbossibiJity the day before. I rose in
the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I
used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu
matic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I
i would not have been in the condition which I had been,
j ten days before I called on you, for any amout of money
which could he given me: for what is life worth when
lin constant pain and misery! I consider your Rheumat
ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I
am, dear sir, your friend.

DearSir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a I
stiltl neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or i
seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the
body! I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Lin
iment, which was applied in August or September of

Dr. and Graflenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted,
lor some time past, with a revere attack of Rheumatism,
and having heard of the wonderful effect? of your Rheu
matic Liniment, 1 was induced to try a bottle of it; and
after three days. I was so much relieved as to be able to
leave the house and attend to business 1 have perfect
ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re
commend the Liniment to all those who are. afflicted,

Dr. E. L. de Graflenried—Dear sir: Agreeable to
your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of
your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at
tacked in one joint ofmy linger, last winter, with acute
Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered
prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made
application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am
happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re
commend its use to all persons affected in like manner.
Von- respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN.
I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenred’s
Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, i
as it ‘name under my immediate observation.
October 13,1849, R. A. WARE, M. D.
Dearsir—sometime in January last, Mrs. McKee was
taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her
shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and arm, j
which disabled her from using her arm almost entirelv ;
and from the pain, want of sleep, and great restlessness,
for not less than six weeks,l was induced by my friend, !
Mr, Luke Reed, to call on you lor a bottle of your i
Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she was entirely
K’ieved, and the relief was manifest or sensible after
three or four rubbings. lam of opinion, it is one of the
most valuable remedies that has ever been discovered, I
for Rheumatism : that is, from my own knowledge, and
that which I have heard from others.
Dr. E. L. tjeGraflonried. 11. C. McKEE.

Dr. deGraffenried—Dear sir: I take pleasure in say
ing, I have a boy who war so badly afflicted with Rheu
matism, that ho could not raise his hand to his head, and
had nearly lost the use of his arm. I used the fourth of i
a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved
him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy ior
the cure of Rheumatism.

Thrir poirer over the above diseases is not excell
ed. if equalled , by any other preparation in the
United Slates, as the cures attest , in many cases
after skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters arc worthy ttie attention of invalids.—
Possessing great virtues in the rectification of diseases of
the Liver and lesser glands, exercising the mogf search
ing powers in weakness and affections of the digestive
organs, they are, withal,safe, certain and pleasant.

Ohas. Robinson, Esq., Easton, Md.,in a letter to Dr.
Jackson, Jan. 3, 1850, said—
“My wile and myself have received more henfit from
your medicine than any ether we have ever taken for the
Dyspepsia and Liver disease .”
“The Tenth Legion,” published at Woodstock, Va.,
January 10, 1850, said
“A Great Medicine.”
“We have uniformly retrained from recommending to
the public any of the various patent medicines of the
day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value.—
Among those we consider worthy of notice is the
German- Bitters, invented hy Hr. HOorland, and
prepared hy Dr. Jackson, in Philadelphia. One in
stance in particular, in which the superior virtues
of this medicine have been tested, lias&llcn under
our observation. During the.last sumn*r,a son of
Mr. Abraham Crahjll, of-this county, was very se
riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying
in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the
Hitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of
his distressing malady, that he procured another bot
tle, and is restored entirely to health.”

“Y\ e again call attention to the removal of the

Owing to the increased demand for this medicine,
and for the accommodation of his numerous- patients,
Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger
store. We wish him sueoiss in his new quarters;
lie is deserving it The Hitters Mixture is without

he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur

is written upon the wrapper outside, and blown in the
bottle, as imitations of good articles arc common."’
Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci
entific and literary attainments, said in his “New
York Weekly Messenger,” January 0, 1850:
u Dr. Hoof and.’ s German Bitters. —] lore is a pre
paration which the leading presses in the Union ap
pear to be unanimous in recomending, and the rea
son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished
by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern
times, the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Hoofland,
Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician
to the Kingof Prussia, and one of the greatest medi
cal writers Germany has ever produced. He was
emphatically the enemy of humbug , and therefore a
medicine of which lie was the inventor and endorser
may be perfectly relied on. He specially recommend
ed it in Liver Complaint,Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertig9[
Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com
plaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Phila
delphia papers express their conviction of jts excel
lence, and several of the editors speak of its effects
from their own individual experience. Under these
circumstances, we feel warranted not only in calling
the attention of our readers to the present proprietor's
(Dr. C. M. Jackson's) preparation, but in recom
mending the article to all afflicted.”
Afore Evidence.
The “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the best
family newspaper published in the United States, the
editor says of
DR. HOOPLA.WS GERMAN BITTERS, i
u [t is seldom tliat we recommend what are termed!
Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage ofl
our readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr I
Hoofiand's German Bitters, vve wish it to he distinct!
ly understood that we are not speaking of the nosfl
trams of the day that are noised about for a brief peritn
and then forgotten after they have done their guilitß
race of mischief, but of a medicine long estabiislu
universally prized, and which has met the hen ty afl
proval of the Faculty itself.’’
Evidence upon evidence has been received
the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the
three years, ami the strongest, testimony in its

regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other
trums combined, a fact that can cask • be
