A STRANGE MONSTER. ifoDiitain People Alarmed and Fortl- I Jonesboro (Tenn.,) Flag and Advertiser,Peb. 14;] A gentleman recently from the Shelton Laurel district of North Carolina, some jnrty miles from this place, informs ua that thfe people in that “densely thicket ed” country are greitly excited in regard to the appearance, upon several different occasions, and in several different places of a huge mountain monster, the species nj which is unknown. Mr. George An derson, one of the gentlemen residing in the Lanrel country, being one of the per sons who saw the monster, also furnishes as with the following description of it: j was out in the jungle hunting up some lost bogs, when all of a sudden, there came into my path a beast, the appear ance of which, Lmust confess, caused me to quake for the first time in many years. Aside from its strange and unnsual ap pearance, the unearthly yell it uttered on perceiving me, which reverberated and reverberated through the forest, was ecough to shake the senses of the most daring adventurer. The animal was some r :nd red yards distant from me, and ap peared to be a huge black bear with mane und head like a lion, but bad horns like !.e elk upon it. Its tail was long and hashy, with dark and light rings around lo its very extremity. Its eyes gleamed >ike a panther’s, and its size was that of an ordinary ox, bnt somewhat longer, J usi previous to making its appearance I had shot off my gun at a squirrel, and fell little prepared to meet such a feroci ous beast without any weapon of defense. 1 immediately set about reloading my nfle, but had. scarcely begun when it start ed towards me. I retreated in as good order as possible, and must say I did some good running—not looking back until I bad reached an open spot, when I found the animal bad disappeared in the laurel thicket. This os no story, Mr. Editor, gotten up to scare naughty children. l am not the only one who has seen the monster —several have seen it since I did ; and, as sheep and calves are lately j missing, it is presumed to be a carnivorous brute. Many have fortified their homes to prevent a night attack from the strange monster, the like of which was never seen in these mountains before. Some loink it has escaped from some rambling menagerie, while others superstitlously j tbifck it is sent to warn people of some { great approaching danger.” j The BeeTllion Scandal* A Brooklyn Correspondent of the Cin c.nnati Commercial says : Mr. Theodore TiVon has permitted one or two of bis more intimate friends to see and read the munnaenpt volume which be has written, for private preservation, about the so saiied "Beecher-Tilton scandal,” concern ing which the slanderous Mrs. Woodhnll tried to raise a social, religious uproar four months ago. It is an elaborate and detailed history of this extraordinary scandal,involving many curious incidents,implicating persons who have not publicly figured In it, covering some ten years of time, with dates, names and circumstances, and elucidating some things which are not likely to be revealed till tbe Day of Judgment. There are reasons, satisfactory to Mr. Tilton and others, why this manuscript should not be published; and there were reasons why it should be written and re tained in his bands. Cader the circumstances, it would he | Faltlag Over .'whee'b^... manifestly improper for anybody else to »<• . . . make . public display ol the facts it con- " f°“ >° “** wbeelb " tales or p. say anythin, abont it which i „ Ti 7°“ “‘•ST V"!. ihs. e„M, n . hUcotf «# u .. j w front of the house, with the hand toe author or Mr. Beecher on bis < .. .. • les toward the door.

Tue scene of this item was laid in San ‘ ' ri °cisco, on Washington street, near I heavenwortjj. The hour was late—past midnight. A gentleman was wending bis *ay homeward, thoughtfully calculating how much was left of the money he col lected during the day, “Fifty cents for theatre and extras, treats counted 'Q, four dollars, new hat, ten dollars and ■ ‘ ly ce Dts—yes, fifty cents for those extra 1 enr tickets. That just makes fifteen dol-! ai !®- Eighty dollars collected—yes, here I Rre two twenties and a five.in this pocket a roll of half dollars in the other -that’s just right—sixty-five dollars. I’jJ jUst give fyibe. “Sixty-five dollars: Well, hand over the cash sir, and don’t be long about it,” The capitalist was started from his rev erie by these yrords uttered in a sort of growling and determined manner by the midnight stranger. It was like, a night: mare. He trembled from head to,, foot stood stock still and looked with terror at the robber. “Come, now, hurry up! Pork over the cash.. No fooling! Now youeaa’t leave here till you pass in that check.” This.second appeal to his pocket and his life awoke the victim to a conscious* ness of his dreadful ; situation. “Ah—b, lemme go! I—yon—-what do yon want he trying to pass on. One baud was clutching the dear twenties and the five; the other was fast to a roil of silver. “Come, now, out with your pocket book! Come down with the ca*h !” It was evidently a case of life or death. Gash would appease the villain. A lucky thought; “Yes, that’s it. I’ll give him ihe roll of silver and he won’t think I’ve got "any more.” Then to the robber in excited tones: “Here’s what you want—take that.” The right arm was suddenly drawn from the pocket, and the roll ot silver was ex tended toward the robber, while the un fortunate man shrunk into an attitude of holy terror and hope. The roll was pointed at the robber’s breast—the poor fellow who was yielding his earnings looked desperate in the dim light. One look and that Was enough. “Oh! Don’t shoot! don’t shoot! I don’t want your money.” The brave road agent was skeddadling down the street and was soon around the corner be fore the gentleman could realize the al tered position that affairs had taken. With the muzzle of that ominous roll of silver extended before him, he safely reached his home, and has since conclud ed that his presence at mind was wonder ful, and that it was a bright idea to fright en off his assailant by good strategy. Boys, Listen To This. True as the gospel is the following, said by Robert Collyer of Chicago; ‘‘lt is true that the working, successful men of to-day were once poor, industrious, self-reliant boys. And the same thing will be repealed—for from the ranks of the bard working economical, temperance and persevering boys of to-day, will era anate the progressive prominent men of the future. J "Every man doing any sort of work in Chicago to-day, was raised a poor man’s son, and had to fight his way to bis place. Not one of them, as I can ascertain, was a rich man’s son, and bad a good time when he was a boy. All boys should grow as strong as a steel bar, fighting their way on to an education, and then, when they are ready, plunge into life with that tra ditional half- dollar and little bundle tied up in a red handkerchief, as I have known great men to start. I tell you that in five and twenty years, when most of us that are in our middle age have gone to our retribution, the men of mark in this coun try will not be the -sons of those whose fathers can give them all that they wish for, and ten times more than they ought to have, but will be those who are brought up in farm houses aqd c itlagcs, culling their way through the thickest hindrances j of every sort; and all the brown stone! houses of this metropolis will be as noth I iog to bring out the noble man.” A curious petition for amendment to the constitution was reeenliy presented in the Senate, to the effect “that hereafter and throughout all time, all persons, whether of the State or National Govern ment, who shall recommend ciyal war shall register their names in a book to be kept by the Secretary of Slate at Wash ington, and that when the war breaks out i Men s Boats, - - . *2,76 to *5,00 Boots, • • - - 1.T5 to 3,00 Youths’ Boole, , - . 1,50 to 2,50 Men’BjOaitew, - 2,00 to 3,00 9'*l ters ’ ‘ • * 1."5 to 2,50 Ladles’ shoes, - - - 1,75 to 325 Misses Shoes, • • - 1.50 to v’oO Children’s Shoes," - - 50 »o i’^O todies’ Gaiters, - - - 1.33 to 3,30 Misses Gaiters. - - . j,25 to 2,00 Men’s Heavy Shoes, . . 1,25 to 2,00 We have a Urge stock of Men s, Boys, Yontha’ Boots.
