A THUNDERING COON HUNT. [From Porter's Spirit of the Times } It’s refreshing to hear Old Tom tell stories; for, though he gives the same one over a dozen times he never tells it twice alike! He let off the following one morning last week, to an au- dience of two persons, one of whom has prob- ably heard it more times than a clock will tick on a long summer’s day; and who, con- mes prepared himself for a doze as goon as Uld Tom commenced with— ‘I’m an old man, my young fren’, but I tell you I’ve been through a power ov coon bunts in my time, an’ [’m jus goin’ to tell yer ovone oy ’em. it’s as troo as I’m settin® on this here cheer ’’ (He was sitting on a bench at the time) ‘Mind there air fellers who can’t open their heads, bout huntin’ ‘spe- cially, but what sartain sure out comes lies They talk jus asemoove as welvit; but I know ’em; they may rize purty airly, but they don’t see no sun rise afore Old Tom does! They don t make no mark here! (and at this he slapped himself half a foot below where his heart beats) They may hit me in the years, but they don’t tech no heart ov mino, no how. I go in for trooth, I do! and I’m goin’ to give yer some this minnit.’’ As Old Tom got up from the bench at this “‘minnit,’’ his wide awake auditor thought he was going to the whisky barrel to getit Bat he didn’t; he only got up in order to sit down again “ As I was tellin’ on you, { wunst went on a thunderin’ coon hunt down by Striker’s Pon’. It waren’t proper time, now low, to hunt the creeters, bein as it was the middel oy suwmer; but Lishe Proper, be was bent on killin’ coons, an’ we tother boys waren t no way slow to follow arter him when he led off Lishe, he had a courle of the likeliest hound dogs round them regins—one ov ‘em was the completest dog for luggin’ creeters I ever seed Howeumever, wo started from Lishe Prop er’s one July night: if { disremember righbt- ly. the moon wos a shinin’ when we sot out, an’ arter travelin’ mare about two milds, we come outer the lower eend ov the pon’— Striker’s Pon’—and all to onst Lishe Proper’s hounds struck coon tracks, and tooned up their pipes like moosicianers, I teil you! 1 j had a little spaniel dog ’iong, who tuck urter coons nat’ral ns beef bones; an’ purty soon 1 heered him loudin’ up too Says I to myself, | ‘Tom, there's a big coon thareatouts Ij know’'d Jack’s woice, the hull way from towth | to tail, an’ he was cryin’ ‘bout a big one that time. We fullored the dogs nare tour milds, | good measure, ‘fore we treed that coon. Sitch | trampoosin | never seed the likes ov afi nowhere I tored my coat inter rags. a nw britches on more'n would have covered a } six iauns ole baby; but the coon was treed, | shure thing, britches or no britches One of | the fellers struck a light, an’ purty soon we seed we needed it, coz there was more clouds in the sky than you could shake sticks at. There we wo:, wen und boys, curs an’ hounds, all rount the fuot ov a big white cedar tree, a wiitin’ ee ped toturnup. I neversecd nro bound? kerry on like them ere ones of Lighe’s; they pitched rount like ef they ware goin’ to jump there hides off, # yellin’ en’ a bowlin’, Ya-hooo-hvcec-hvcove! (Here old Tom indulged in a prolonged howl, compiete- ly arousing Ke 2 of the audience, and caus- irg him ty start up wide awake ) Oh, you're wakiu’ up, are ye’ Phat away the hounds sung, and’ the beys shouted, an’ as the fire light began to shine up the tree, somo ov ‘em set to work firin’ away at every nol and! bunch as was to be seen onthetree. There | wae a big chower ov bark flyin’ around ’boct | that time, you may believe. Bimeby I seed way up on a top a-most branch, Mister Coon making hisself as small as a small tater; jus as { was goin’ to fire, may I be dod-rabbit ef [ didn’t see two or more coons, on two other branches, alongside of the fust.”” * How much whiskey had you on board that time, eh?’ asked No 2. “Nary a drop more’n i gould kerry jus well ballusted, an a goin’ of it unner easy sail. I wan't no age owily, an seeg them three coons ag plain as [ see that cow a grazin’ over thore in the medder. Lishe Proper an’ Zeke Seut- ter, they seed ’em at the same time, an’ Lishe, he was so aside hisself with seech asigh’, Lat he pullt a big bottle right out ov his coax pockit, an’ we all took big drinks on the strength of sich a werry blessed sight’ At this point Old Tom got up from the bench and went behind the bar, ostensibly to get a piece of tobacco. Returning, he sat down and con- tinued : ‘ All on a suddint, Lishe hada’t mere’n got the whisky bottle inter his pockit, afore ‘Whang! whang! Boom-a-roong-a-roong ! Here Old Tom, us an illustration of the noise, dashed on the floor what he thought was an empty porter bottle, and which he had kept studiously concealed until this moment, in or der to produce a ‘‘stunning effect’’ on his one- istuke he got hold of a bottle half full of bitters, and the way it and it and the broken glass flew round the room and over the uudienes was *-promiscuous.”” “What the are you driving at?” ask- ed No 2, jumpiog from his seat and trying to wipe off the stains from coat and pantaloons Old Tom stecd a picture of surprise and aston- shment. At last stammering vuat—“ Why, + who would hev tho’t it’ 4 tho’t I knowed there was nothin’ in that bottle. I’ve fired off more’n fifty of "em a tellin’ this here story (!) an’ I never knowed one hev bitters in itafore. Here, Jim, comea here an’ sweep up this mues Gentlemen, let’s take adrink. Hope nobody’s kilt? * Wal, as I was sayin, ‘Whang! whang!’ (‘No more botties. Tom!’ shouts No.2) Boom a-roong-a-rvong !’ come the litenin’, knockin’ things all ter bi stunning men and dogs such a way I never want ter see the likes ov it was mitey dark for a spell with me, Ltellyou. Arter a while I tries to raise upon eend, an, fust hitoh, { thort I had a hive ov bees in my head, sich a buazin’ an’ swimmin’ rount. Purty soon | comes too, an’ the fust thing I seed was Lishe Proper a holdin on ter a dead coon with one hand, an’ tryin’ to wipe the dust and bark out ov his eyes with his tother. ++» Lishe,’ says 1, ‘ where are we?’ ; ** other side of Jordan!’ says he, ‘an’ the ferry boat broke, too, atthat! Nomatter, we ain't goin’ to starve!’ An’ he helt up the voon Zeke Scutter, he was moet stunned ov ennybedy. Howsumever, we gothim dows to the pon’, an’ a’ter rubbin’ ov his face in water, he cometoo We went back to look at whare the litenin’ hit, an’ may I be jammed if there warn't Lishe Proper’s hound tryin’ to git at another coon hangin’ up in the crotch of the tree, dead asa@ herrin’. We got him down sovner ! an’ ware en the pint of turning home, when, may I be jammed agin, if that ere hound dog hadn’t the track of the third coon, an’ wae diggin’ up the ground to get at him We all got round the hole an’ ware peerin’ in, when, ov a suddint, Lishe Proper he seed the fur, an’ made agrab at the tuil an’ bro’t out the third coon, dead as a sideof sole leather, an’ smellin’ like a box of brim- stun matebes. The litenin’ had actilly dug @ hole an’ kerried that coon mnder groun’, only leavin’ the tip eend of his tail out for a -stone ‘ aT sree that’s wot I call orale thon derin’® coon hunt!” tg Strange Avimal, supposed be a panther, = others 2 Lge wolf, has been prowling bout Greenfield, Mass > for some reafter; pow me ote atl brobably have been ehot before this. . Scengs on THe Ocean Froon —Besides the countless varieties of the fucus, the bottom of the sea is overgrown with the curled, deep purple leaves of the sea-letiuce, with large Porous lichens, and many-branched hollow alge, fall of life and motion = their rosy lit- tle bladders, thickly set with ever-moving tiny arms. ‘These plants form submarine forests, grow- ing one into anotber,in apparently lewless order; here interlacing r branches, there forming bowers and avenues ; atone time thriving abundantly, till the thicket seems impenetrable, and then again leaving openings between wold and wold, where small- er plants form a beautiful pink turf. 7 conte mnugenad bess ad tinges chloe and glitter in each changing light.

And through this dream-like scene, playi in all the colors of the rainbow, and un- der the hollow briny ocean, Where sail and chase each other merrily gaily-painted mul- lusks and bright shining faces. Snails of every shape creep slowly along the stems, while huge gray-haired seals hang with their enormous tusks on large, tall trees. There ie the gigantic dudong, the syren of the ancients, the Sls Seng shark with his leaden eyes, the thick-haired sea leopard, and the sluggish turtle. Look how these strange ill- forms, which ever keep their dreariless sleep far down in the gloomy deep, stir themselves from time to time. See how they drive each other from their rich pastures, how they awaken in storms, rising like islands from be- neath, and snorting through the 'y #pray' Perhaps they graze peacefully in the cool of the ocean's deep beed, when lo! a hungry shark comes slily, silently around that grove; its glassy eyes shone ghost-like with a yellow sheen, and seek their prey.
