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 tures in Snath Africa. 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” Is not this an illustration of Sammy Wel ler’s exhortation “ to beware of vidders” ?

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.” All Sorts of Paragraphs.

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.

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!

Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849. 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.

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. Read and. bn Convinced. 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.” Read Further a Ecu ?

The editor said, No vember iMth r “Y\ e again call attention to the removal of the German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the sale of Dr. Hoofiand's German Hitters, from 27S Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.- 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 doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the Liver and Bowels. A. stubborn case of Chronic Diarrhoea has come under our notice, wherein the patient had exhausted the Materia Medicasof different schools of fnedicine-with no apparent bonoH He was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles! of them have ‘litiroly cured him.

Dr. Jackson possesses the original unpublished receipt of Dr. Jloofland, and he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or see that his name 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!
