A COUNTRY EDITOR’S HUNT. 
Monpay morning Elder T. W. Hancoc 
called at the office and requested the editor t 
out and kill a squirrel, so off we starte 
accompanied by three terrier dogs. Now th 
Ider is pretty well up in the eighties, but w 
soon found he was “there with the goods, 
when it comes to a hunting expedition, so fo 
lowed the river for perhaps a mile without sig 
of game except one squirrel which very dis 
obligingly ‘holed up” before affording opportur 
ity for a shot. The elder bewailed the fact tha 
we must return home “meatless,” but bright 
ened perceptibly when the dogs started a rat 
bit which turned somersaults at report of th 
gun, and grew fluent in encouraging them whe 
a moment later another got up which require 
two shots before being added to the bag. Soo 
after we got the third and started home, feelin; 
very well satisfied. We experienced a decided]] 
novel sensation, our hunting companions here} 
tofore, when we accidentally happen to make | 
good shot generally exclaim “D—n good shot!| 
or “Bully for you!” but the Elder remarke: 
that the shooting was “very admirable!” 
And now comes the “finale,” as they say i 
the story books. We proceeded down th 
river, and when only a few hundred yards abov: 
town espied a strange looking animal in th 
top of a tree, rolled up in a ball, and hardl 
discernible for the leaves. While discussin; 
what it might be the “‘varmint” started up and 
then we saw ’twas a big ’coon. The repeate 
spoke twice in quick succession and down camik 
Mister ’Coon into the water, with a medley o 
dogs on top of him. He was too far gone ti. 
put up. much of a fight or the little dogs woulk 
soon have found there was a difference betwee1 
‘coon and rabbit. 
The Elder and the Editor now consider them 
selves fully initiated and entitled to membershiy 
in the local ’Coon Hunters’ Brigade. And i 
you are from Missouri, we’ve got the ’coon hid 
to prove the story.—The Editor.

ROVER CAME HOME. | 
RECENTLY a family removed from Charles|! 
town, W. Va., to Roanoke. They brought wit! 
them a dog, to which all, but especially the chil 
dren, were much attached. He was a cross be 
tween the shepherd and the Eskimo. At Gish’;). 
three miles from Roanoke, the gentleman got of 
the cars, followed by his dog. As the trai 
started he resumed his seat in the cars, but th 
dog was left in the depot. On reaching Roanok| 
the dog was missed, an inquiry sent back t 
Gish’s; but it seems that the dog, after missin; 
his master, wandered about the place until a trai 
passed eastward, which he entered, but wal 
kicked off by the conductor at Bonsack’s, siz 
miles from Roanoke. Though diligent inquir|| ( 
was made this was the last heard from the los} 
pet. The family obtained rooms above the dru; 
store in Roanoke, and one Friday night about bed| 
time—two weeks after the dog disappeared—| 
whining and scratching was heard at the to} 
of the steps, and a little girl, to whom the do; 
had been a faithful and loving companion, ex|¢ 
claimed: “Mamma, that sounds just like Rover!’ 
The ddor was opened, and there stood Rover-|! 
his glossy coat all soiled—seeming wellnig]) 
famished and very footsore, yet, with waggin; 
tail and glistening eye and joyous bark, telliny| 
his happiness in again meeting the loved ones.—|
