A MIDNUiUT COON HUNT.
A correspnndent of tlio Philadelphia
Tinit grapliieally writes of a coon hunt
in 1! iwlic's woods, a few miles out from
ilaltiui'irc, in the following happy vein
, City finery is thrown away, boots and
jejjsoys are piped, «liile outside the mon
grel pack yelps—six in good dogs as
over treed aeu 'ii. The squire is there
with his horn and hatchet. Smith car
lies an old fnwling-pHoe, to be used if
ucefssary. liliuik Joe shoulders an axe
and the ro.t of us go armed with expec
tation.
The deep woods surrounding "Frog
M'irtar," ati iine given to a certain
i back water pond froiu the river, are to
be hunted fust "llie on there! 1 ' and
.
'he I inky curs slide into iho underbrush
and are lost in the deep shades. The
snap of a twig and the. rustle of dead
leaves are nil that is heaid of the dogs
■is tlicy thread their way through the
deptli the woods. We saunter up the
road, all ears alert fir the first indioa
tion of the gauie. Presently the long
ringing cay of a hound floats through
the woods from the farther side An
otlier and another chime iu, and the
whole pack g'i whirling up "l'rog Mor
tal" i:. a full cry. We on the road
break into a run, striking through a
wood j nth, the squire well iu tront.
The di gs ase lea ling us a pretty race
lor the music grows fainter and fainter,
and is finally est altogether, "llnnjj
sell huiitin',' 1 says the squire and cylls
in the dogs. 1 hose of us who are no
vices wondered \ Ity the dogs are call
ed o.T, but the Fi|ii'.re sa\s something
:i!> iut "blind lead''and "off the scent"
that settles it. The strident no'.es of
hu hoi n resound through the woods;
| the unearthly calling of dogs breaks the
•tilli.es of the night, «ud one by one the
| dej Med looking pack joiu us iu the
rud. Tho woods on Mowlie's quarter,
' t.vo miles away, are next to be hunted.
..ud thithci the hunt proceeds. Our
way lies across open fields, covered with
a light sprinkling of snow that glistens
hi the moonlight, with '.ho shadows of
ireos and louces iu shady relief against
i its whiteness.
The puck followed as it pleased, each
member having his own peculiar ideas
, about traveling. Ouo old dog, an al
most tull bloode 1 fox hound, the aristo
r.':.t of the pack, with long, pendulous
cars dr loping over his sober face, saun
tered lensuicly along, while others of
iu ire inquisitive turn of mind made wide
detours by the fence- Suddenly a yelp
is heard from a mongrel puppy explor
ing n briar thicket. In oue minute the
whole pack by a common impulse are in
hcadlnng pursuit. A iu>ment more aud
they bring up under a small persimmon
tree and there sat a •''possum," with his
bare tail tightly tUisted around a branch.
Poor "'possum He was lifted care
fully off and placed in Mack Joe's game
bag, tho dogs getting little satisfaction
I from him.
Howlic's woods stood out ahcid in
dark shadow under tlio moonlight. The
dogs were sent if., while the hunters
waited on the odgo. It was sometime
before the familiar voice ot a hound told
us that u scent had been struck. Tho
sound caiuo from the direction of tho
bay, in the woods far over the headland,
j diawing away from us along the shore
edge. A few moments more ard it w«s
. ta'en up from another quaitcr, then au
other, another, and the whole pack were
in lul! cry. We waited, listening, hop
, ng that the chase would come aroun-1
!in our direction, tut it seemed to be
gelling farther and further off.
llurk ' that olear ringing ha_v of the
foxhound thing übjvi the chorus of the
j pack like a silver clarion above the
i braving din of an orchestra is certainly
, notrer than ft moment ago. "Hark a
way !" the hunt lias dcub! .d on hi*
tracks. " Hark-away-yip- -yip !'■ and
aw iy we go through the underbrush in
• full cry. The wocds are ringing with
music, but .-.11 silently the pursued is
flying before (tie eager pack. The hunt
j leads out on the wooded hcidland, and
a (lock of peesc, bedding nucwy ve shad
ow in tin! bay, arc startled and their
wild "hawking" adds to the wcirdness of j
the wl ole.
i
A different sound suddeuly strikes
j the car—a few sharp, yelping barks off
!n the right. "Treed !" shouis the
squire, and off he starts for the spot witli
all haste, in a patch of moonlight ono
of the doif- is seen standing at the foot
|of an old gum tree. Just within the
shadow of the underbrush is another,
ami a third, more demonstrative than
, the rest, i- scratching and yelping at the
trunk. Nothing is seen iu the tree,
nothing save twisted lnubs and the tan
gle of bunches standing out sharp and
I clear against the moonlit sky. Only
|on the stab of a broken limb a dark
spot is no.iced, and one of the boys
clamber up and finds a hollow leading
towutds tin tiuok.
Investigation with a stick brought a
sua, ling and scratching froui the inte
rior. "Pull ini out," yells the squire,
but no one is willing to try the experi
i uiciit. "Then cut the tree down;" and
two axes flush an i strike, bounding back
ft out the Vard, resistless trunk of the old
gum. It makes one thiuk of the time
honored couplet—
'l'ossniii up a sum tree,
looney in a liollow—
that'nc darkeys used to sing with such
j gusto. The chips are bogicning to fly.
"Hold back the dogs." Tno tree
trembles, totters, then falls carrying
saplings and undergrowth with it. Kaeh
man is having his bauds full with two ex
! cited dogs, whining and tugging to be
free.
"Chop out ths critter!" shouts the
j squire. Tha hollow is «ut larger and
the diacuii.liled ccon fights for his strong
hold tooth aui nail.
"Catch his tail aud toss 'iui out!"
I but one of the more hardy already holds
I il '
For a moment a dark object luogs in
mid-air, then dr> ps to the ground.
Willi one wild yell the dogs »re slip

for'unato beast- He could whip ono

Ito it in ino confused and discriminate
heap. i\ow one dog yelps with paiu

j victim. It is a gallant fight for that
sweetest of ait possessions, life, but it is
againsc overwhelming odds, and its re
i suit is only a question of time. In an
unwary lioment the coon glances around
for an avenue of escape, the foxhound
| sees his opportunity, and m another mo
ment his loug teeth aro fastened in its
neck. Thcio are a few convulsive at
tempts to bo free, while the other dogs

OUR, NEW CROP.
There is a considerable amount of
complaint with the 1887 crop of tobac
co as the first offerings are thrown on
the market. The new crop has been
whooped up to such an extent that it
seems the buyera czpected every leaf to
be like Virginia gold, and iu this they
have been disappointed. So many ma
ny crops of poor tobacco have been put
cd the uiaikot tho last few year.; that it
seeins natural for the dealer to become
blue aud cynical about thin saasoii. Un
fortunately tor him this year his hopes
were strung to such a high pitch that
the "come down' 1 has been rutlier bard,
although he has not struck tbc pave
ment with as much force as he thinks.
But coming to facts. The tobacco
maikctcd the past few weeks has uot
been as good as any of us expected.
The weather has been unfavorable and
tobacco has been in poor condition. For
fear of a low opening the farmers have
bjjught in the worst samples as a test
to the inorkot. The trade, a part of it.
only, has taken this as a bad omen and
says the 1887 crop must certainly be
poor, judgiug from the new offerings ou
the market. If we judge from the sales
of the past two rainy weeks certainly
the out look is bad, but this should not
be our criterion. As stated iu these
pages last week this has been a most fa
vorable year for growing a crop of fine
tobacco. The seasons were regular, tho
farmers were not over cropped, there
was no drouth, the cutting season was
clear and suuuy aud the weather for cu
ring could not have been better. Iu ihe
face of this our reports from three-fifths
of the tobacco growing sections said
"the crop is the finest unity
years." All these testimonials are too
strong to pit against the real samples
seen ou sales during two raiuy weeks.
We atill hold and believe that the
crop is good beyond a doubt. There
may be tho slightest deficiency in tex
ture, owing to a full growth, as a whole
we believe tho crop will pan out very
satisfactory indeed. At any rate let us
wait and sec before we squeal. -South,

THE FATAL GRACE ARBOR.
The sun had set and it was evening,
when they stood beneath the grape arb
or. It is a somewhat remarkable fact
that ovenings and sunsets and grape
arbor meetings should occur with such
unvarying stmultaneousness'
"Algernon," alio whispered, and a
piece of chewing gum turned the whis
per into a sibilant sliulc, "you arc here
on shedule timo."
"You bet," ho murmcred in reply.
"But hark, I heard a footstep."
She harked ay requestod, and sud
denly grasping his wrist, she said in a
terrified whisper : It is father. Fly 1

"tiertrude, I have a bunion and 1
know, alas' too weM, that were 1 to

The old man strode into the grape
arbor, straight to whoro Algernon stood.
"11a," be said, "soil's you, young
man, is it! Well, how are you ' Glad
to sae you. How's your folks 1"
'•They're well," gasped Algernon.
"That's good. Well. I'll leave you;
but if you Geltie take my advice
you'll go right np into the parlor. You're
likely to catch your death of coll out

CUULNO TOBACCO ON AND OFF
TIIE STALK.
Suuthrrn Tobacco Journal.
Capt \V. 11. Snow, of High Point,
North Carolina, has certaialy been an
active experimeuter in tobacco curing 1
during the past few years. He has
devot d almost his entile time and large
amounts of money in perfecting his
Modern Barn, and the cures inado this
season will very likely decide its fate.
Without doubt the Bam is one of the
beat that is made and one that wiil
come into large use provided its cost
will not inte fere and provided file meth
od of curing off the stalk proves to be
all that Capt. Snow claims for it. Tho
proposed display of jellow tobacco at
the Exchange Warehouse, in this city
on the 17 th inst. will doubtless go fur
in proving the practicability of the
Snow Barn and we hope to see the display
as large possible. The tobacco exhib
ted at tli s display will be of that type
cured off the stalk, and buyers and
manufactures can judge for themselves
whether it comes up to the gcncial ex
pectation. ("apt. Snow is certainly sin
cere iu his faith as to the worth of his
Barn, and is willing to give the public
a chance to judge for itself as to the mer
its of his methods of curing. Let there
be a full attendance, at this display, of
tobacco meu generally and let the Snow
process have un honest trail as to its
merits. Mush interest has been cen
tered in tho Modern Barn this year
and tho p'.. (io is waiting anxiously to
know how the tobacco cured in 250
barns will sell. This will be the most
severe test the Modern Barn has yet had
and we hopo to see it a success at least
in point of full aitcndauce.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES
it is a mistake t» suppose that sour
feruieuted slop for hogs is better than a
trcah mixture that is sweet and
clean.
I'rofessor Stewart reports the feeding
of 104 cows on an aero of corn in the
milk, and it ga rs tlieui full feed for
fourdays, equal to 416 days for one
cow.
If in a very fat condition the chances
are that the lien will show an tncliiia
tiou to aet. Kvcn the soculled non
setters on becoming fat will attempt to
hatch a brood.
When the leaves ef plants assume a
yellow the application of fifty pound
nirate of soda (saltpetre) will often cause
them to agaiu become green 1 and
thrifty.
A poulterer says ; We would nevei
attempt to keep a flock of ckickeDS
through tho winter without plcuty of
dry earth for a dust bath. The best
time to store it is when it is
dry.
A fanner writes that he considers a
cow threc.quartors Jersey and one
quarter corn meal jibout as go"d for
butter as he ean fiud. He has a small
herd of such cows whose butter sells at
a handsome advauce over tho average
price.
The dairy cow may be regarded as a
itachine for trausforuirug the food which
she receives into milk, butter and
cheese. She has uo power, however, to
produce something out of nothiug. The
best she can do is to perform her work
ecjnomioally.
Farmos will find it to their advantage
to corn mutton tu a weak brine for
home consumption. The hams can be
smoked and used liko dried beef, er
they cau be boiled. The corucd mutton
will be found an agreeable change from
sausage and spite ribs.
