The
MY FIRST TIGER HUNT.
In the month of January, somti few
years ago, I was the guest of a hofipitable
feast India coffee .planter, whose estate
lay in the bamboo country of Cgorg,
some distance from the village of Veerin-
derpett, and thirty miles from the pretty
hill-station of Mercaro. He had again
and again pressed me to visit him, and,
at las?, I had accepted his invitation, in
the vague hope that I might, perhaps,
for the first time in my life, find myself
taking part in a tiger hunt Do not
suppose for a moment that I was over
anxious to indulge in that perilous sport
Had I been invited for the express pur
pose of taking part in it, I should in all
probability have promptly declined the
proffered honor; for, added to a whole
some dread of every kind of savage beast,
I have a particular horror of the tiger
tribe. At the same time.I considered it
to he the thing to have had experience
in tiger shooting, and I think I ; had a
floating notion that if I could by any
possibility be drawn into the sport una
wares, I should be relieved of all respon
sibility as to consequences, and rather en
joy itthan otherwise. As it so fell out,
fate uvored the half-formed wish. One
of tke estate dogs had disappeared the
week before, leaving a trail of blood, and
abkllock had been killed on the road to
Buctlawaddy. Our friend Fare field’s
opinion that there was “big game” in the
ndghborhood seemed to be well founded.
Ji'pon the strength of this opinion, he des
patched a messenger to ask a neighbor
seven miles off to join us with any hands
he could spare, and such shikarees or
hunters as were in his locality, to assist
in beating the jungle.
In two days, Mr. Blank, of. Kuttlnko-
da, arrived with a dozen beaters,. and
three shikarees. The latter had seen
footprints near Buttlawaddy, but were
uncertain how far the beast had advanced
in the jungle. Directing them to take up
the trail, and to report progress early,
Mr. Blank joined us for the rest of the
day in discussing the best mode of war
fare to be pursued, should the shikarees
be lucky enough to spot a tiger’s lair.
He, like Mr. Fairfield, was a strong, able
man, a good shot, and experienced in
hunting. Three rifles charged with ball,
and three smooth-bores with slugs, were
laid aside ready for use, with spare charges
and belts, to which were attached long
Coorg knives;—curved broad bladed
weapons, of the’most formidable descrip
tion—and the minor requirements of the
chase. As far as weapons went, we felt
equal to any occasion, if not separated or
surprised, and hoped for the best, what
ever might take place.
It was not until the afternoon of the
next day that the scouts returned, bring
ing the intelligence that a tigress had
been seen by a party of estate coolies en
tering a gap below the summit of a hill
about five miles off, and on examination
of the locality, were certain that tae brute,
with her young, lay concealed where the
coolies had pointed out. No time was
lost in getting the beaters together and
starting for the spot.
The jungle was very thick, and, for the
greater part of the way we had to walk
in Indian. file. The low ground was
swampy; and covered with bamboo leaves,
and the higher rockvand uncertain. But
spite of an occasional stumble, to say
nothing of tears and scratches, we got on
in moderately good spirits, the shikarees
leading, and Fairfield in the rear. It
was a relief at last to come to the open,
although some little distance had yet to
he traversed. At a quickened pace we
trudged along in the direction of a hill
side, where it was supposed the game lay,
and after again enduring a tussle with
branches ana prickly vegetables general
ly, reached the spot just as the moon had
risen, as if favoring our movements at the
wished-for hour.
A little way above where we were the
ground was very rocky, and looked dan
gerous. The gap pointed out by the
coolies below the summit of the hill seem
ed covered with stones, tall grass, thick
bushes, and stumpy trees, and on inspect
ing closer, we could just see a cave mouth,
in front of which a huge boulder from
above had apparently fallen, and break
ing in ttfain, formed an admirable de
fence from without. So narrow was the
passage, indeed, that before one could
have wound himself in it, a stroke from
the inmatels paw, had she been there,
would have laid him silent for ever. A
few yards off was another mass of rock,
f illed high up on the right, and in front
ay the jungle. The ground was not to
say steep, but stony and uneven, sufficient
ly so as to make our footing uncertain.
To face our prey in the narrow limits
of the den was not to be thought of.
Setting the bearers to watch below, we
warily ascended the hill-side until within
twenty paces of the cave, when crouching
behind the huge boulder that lay near
the entrance, we waited with pieces point
ing in its direction, while one of the shik
arees imitated the cry of a kid—faintly
at first, but gradually louder, as though
the little animal was straying close at
hand, and innocent of danger, was offer
ing itself as a tempting mouthful to what
ever savage beast might pass that way.
It was to no purpose; the tiger was eith
er away, or fay asleep gorged with food
in some dark recess of the cave.
We must have spent an hour in trying
to frighten or coax her out, with no suc
cess. At last, Fairfield declared he
would go forward, if a look-out was kept
to prevent surprise from behind. Blank
engaged to see to this, and I elected to
join Fairfield. Advancing cautiously,
and in readiness to fire, we crept behind
the plants over the rocks at the entrance
of the cave, and for a moment listened, to
detect if possible in which direction the
inmates lay, but nothing could be heard.
In stepping forward Fairfield slipt, and
caused a lew loose stones to roll inside
the den, the sound of which was followed
by a low whine and scratching of the
earth, indicating the proximity of some-
thing which, I confess, made me for a
moment wish myself miles away—a feel
ing which I did not overcome until the
excitement of-penetrating the cave still
further rendered me more careless of con
sequence than I think I had ever been
before. From a fissure at the upper end,
there came the sound of distant breath-
ing, though scarcely such as a large beast
would have made. It was too dark to
see at the distance, bo going forward
about six yards and taking a position
right in front of the passage, we waited
until one of the shikarees, under cover
°**j Ur § une ’ cre P^ a little way forward,
and endeavored to ascertain what was
really within.
“Baghan nahin, Sahib, bachcha hai,”
(tigress gone, sir, but the young is here,)

said, two cubs about six weeks oldj Being

Died, in Twine county, October 13,1868, DANIEL
W. SHINE, Esq., aged 82 years.
Ha wu born July 30.1796, in Jonec oonnty, North
Carolina, and emigrated to Georgia about the year
1810. settling in Pulaski county, then on the Indian
frontier. In tha war pf 1812-14 be held the commis
sion of Lieutenant in the command of tbe late Gen.
David Black shear, as may be seen by the published
muster-roll. His father, John Shine, was a soldier oi
the Revolution, whose services at the battle near
Camden, S. C., ‘in 1780, are referred to in White’#
“Historical Collections of. Georgia;” p. 656.
At the close of the war in 1818, D. W. Shine opened
a store in Twiggs county, and for ten or fifteen years
pursued the trade of a merchant, in which he was
eminently successful.' Retiring from business more
than thirty yean ago, be devoted himself to his largo
planting interests, and to the education and settle,
mentof his children. For several yean he was a
Representative in the Legislature. About his fiftieth
_ In all tbe relations of life he was exemplary and
upright. Hi3 personal piety, his kind and obliging
disposition secured, him the respect and confidence of
all who knew him. The great losses he sustained by
the war provoked no complaint, all was resignation
to the will of God.' In February, 1864, he was smit
ten with total blindness, from which he has never
been relieved until a brighter world burst upon his
vision after death had closed his earthly prilgrimage.
Thus lived and died a venerable man whose mem
ory is dear to his children, to his many relatives, to
his brethren of the Church, and to the community in
which ho passed more than fifty years of his useful
and honorable life. M.
Callssya Bark.—It Is said tbat Messrs.
Drake k Co., (proprietors of the Plantation Bit

this country, and that, with tbe exception of an occa
sional sale, all they import is used iu the compound
ing of their celebrated Plantation Bitters—to
which they undoubtedly are indebted for their won
derful health-restoring properties. Ai a Tonic and
Appetiser they are not surpassed, and we cheerfully
recommend them. All first-class Druggists keep them

Prevent and Repent I—When health has been
sacrificed for want of the care ncce;sary to protect itj
regrets are unavailing. It is better to prevent than
to repent. The most inclement season of the year is
at hand, and its cold and damp are the source of in
numerable distressing ai’mtnts. The best means of
escaping them is to keep the outward surface of the
body comfortably warm with suitable clothing, and
the internal organs in a vigorous condition by the oc
casional use of a healthful tonic end corrective. Win
ter make3 tremendous drafts upon the vital forces,
and therefore it is a season when a pure vegetable
stimulant and invigoranl like HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS is of infinite use, especially to
the weak and feeble. It gives stamina to the system,
and thereby enables it to withstand theshocks of cold
which produce cough, bronchitis, catarrh, and other
diseases of the organs of respiration. Dyspepsia and
every species of indigestion are also aggravated by
cold, damp weather, and for these complaints the
BITTERS are an acknowledged specific. There is no
fact better known in this country, and,.indeed,
throughout the civilized portions cf the Western
hemisphere, than that this genial preparation is a
swift and certain remedy for all ordinary diseases of
the stomach and liver.

parting not many hours before. To drag
the little heastg out aud leave the pUci
before the mother returned, was the next
move, which was accomplished satisfacto-
n 7> although the whelps struggled,
scratched and bit with a fury which aston
ished me. The shikarees took them in
charge, and placing them in a hollow
further up the hill, again prepared them
selves to receive the, mother on her re
turn expedition.
Our intention was to give her a dead
ly welcome before she discovered her loss,
which we knew would drive her into a
reckless frenzy, and perhaps lead her to
charge in the direction of the coolies, and,
despite consequences, seize and crush
whoever came first. These ooolies inffm- ^ 1 ,
bered twenty, and were directed to pro- ejected C fi urch -
ceed to a portion of the jungle some dis
tance oil) where one of the hunters thought
it likely the tigress lay in wait. They
were then to beat in the direction of the
the cave until the beast was seen or heard
returning, when they might desist; but
on no account were they to lose sight of
the trail. One of the shikarees headed
the party to examine the ground, and to
warn'us if the game was discovered.
As the cave led probably to some sub
terranean passage opening out in another
direction, as is the case with several of
these hills, it was advisable to cut of this
way of escape, as well as to prevent a re
treat to the jungle, where the odds would
he against capture', dead or alive. To
attain these ends, Fairfiejd and one of
the hunters stationed themselves at the
entrance, behind a boulder, ready to fire
on the first sight of the animal’s head;
while Blank and I, with the other shika
ree, remained a few yards to the left, fac
ing the direction in which, if frightened
by the beaters, the tigress would approach.
And there we sat watching. It was a
full hour before the sound of the heaters
was heard. For a little while it was taint
and irregular, manifesting uncertainty
as to proceedure, but suddenly the “tom-
toming” grew louder and louder, denoting
success, and continued for, I should say,
half an hour in unabated vigor, when
the sharp crack of a rifle sounded through
the jungle—either the warning signal,
or a rash attempt to bring the game
down prematurely. We had all been on
the alert, and were now doubly so, as the
crisis, apparently, was close at hand. In
a few moments the keen ear of the
shikaree caught the sound of a rapid
movement in front of us, and as he spoke,
I could myself hear the approach of a
heavy body forcing its way through the
jungle. Then there was a rush and a
crash of branches, and a gigantic tigress
sprang on to the rock at the cave’s mouth.
In a second three barrels were discharg
ed, and sent her reeling back from the
entrance with an appalling roar. A vol
ley of slugs followed. Though staggered,
however, the lithe beast was by no means
brought down. Recovering herself in an
instant, she turned to bay, and with
flaming eyes and gleaming jaws, was
rushing straight upon us, when she was
sent roaring and reeling back again, with
the contents of the remaining barrels in
her body. Not yet discomfitted, she
turned, to the cave mouth, when her
quick eye detected Fairfield and tue shik
aree behind the boulder, and with a wild
shriek of pain and passion, she fell upon
them.
To rush in with knives and axes was
the work of a moment, but already the
planter had been seized, and was borne
down in the brute’s grip, while his com
panion, blind with blood and fury, had
thrown himself on the tigress, and dealt
blow after blow with his broad Coorg
knife, wherever it would pierce. We
joined him, but it was long doubtful who
had the mastery. The brute turned now
upon one, now npon the other, and in the
meantime was being stabbed and lacer
ated in all directions. We almost wal
lowed in blood. How long it lasted
know not, but there came a pause, and
the struggle was over.
Fairfield lay motionless, with torn
arms, and his light hair and face thickly
coated with gore; a huge paw fixed to
his shoulder, his hands mangled, and one
leg under the .carcass. Across the body
lay the shikaree, still clutching the han
dle of his knife, which was buried to the
hilt in flesh. An axe was deep in the
brute’s skull—the work of Blank, who,
with the others, sat, breathless, by the
body, looking terror stricken and speech
less at the hideous heap that lay there.
On recovering from the shock, we . ex
tricated Fairfield, and as gently as possi
ble laid him on a bed hastily prepared
with every garment we could spare.
. The insensible shikaree was then laid
at his side, and the others set out for as
sistance. Blank was not much hurt,
neither was I; but, as far as we could
judge, Fairfield and his companion, if not
dead, seemed to have little life left. It
was past midnight before the doctor
reached the place, and by that time the
patients were sensible, but unable to
move. On examining the wounds, he
expressed himself satified that, although
both cases were serious, hopes might be
entertained of recovery. He was right,
but it was full two months before either
Fairfield or the shikaree could get about
to their work again.
A Union of the Macon Conventions.—
The following note appears in the Augusta
Chronile and Sentinel of Tuesdays
Sparta, Ga., Nov. 23d, 1863.
to<*srs. Edilon:—A few days after the publi
cation of the address issued by Messrs. Capers,
True anj myself to the people of Georgia, urging
them to tend delegates from every county to
Macon on the 9th proximo, I saw a call made
by the worth/ President of the AgricuUural and
Manufacturing Association of Georgia, for a
similar Convention at the place and on the next
day. We were not aware of this call until our
address had gone foith to the world. The Agri
cultural Meeting of Putnam had fixed the time
and place, and instructed us to publish an ad
dress, urging upon the people the importance of
the subject of immigration particularly. ; _
It will be seen, therefore, that tne committee
are without power to make changes. It will be
an easy matter for the convention of the 9th to
to organize and adjourn over to the 10th, and if
thongbt advisable by both, to unite, as the ob
jects are the same.
I take, the responsibility, without consultation
with anv one for want of time, to suggest that
all the counties who take action under the ad
dress issued by Messrs. Capers, True and my-
Relf, appoint their delegates with instructions
to attend both conventions. This, it appears to
me, is the best course to be pursued, and I trust
that it will be satisfactory to all interested.
There ought to be no division among us on the
“general issue,” at least.

HURLEY’S SARSAPARILLA
O F ALL THE REMEDIES THAT IIAVE BKBB
discovered during the present age for the ‘thous
and ills that flesh is heir to,” none equal this wonder
ful preparation. Only ten years hare elapsed aim*
the discoverer (who spent a decade in studying m-
periments, and periectiogit) first introduced it to the
public, and it is already recognized by the most em
inent physicians in all parts of the country, to be to*
most surprising and effective remedy for certain die-
eases of which they have knowledge.
Allother compounds or Syrups of this root hamm
hitherto failed to command the sanction af the Fat
uity, because on being tested, they have been found to
contain noxious ingredients, which neutralize the
§ ood effects of the Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes imwre
le health of the patient. It is net so with Hurley*,
preparation.
This is the pnre and genuine extract Cl to* ^roev
and will, on trial, be found to effectaeertain and per
