In the vicinity; ihb country abdun'ds In high,hills end trackless wilds, the,habitation of .wild beasts and a wilder population. The country, though oldi is yet a wllderhbss, and the dv&ollers therein;.who partake hatiire of the fegion they inhabit, 'make sport ana profit.by hunting, unto slaying their little leas civilized brethren, the beasts. Among, these primitive dwellers in the wilder ness, lives, or lived, ono Michael Hooter, “a mighty hunter bpfore ilio Lord,' 1 , and his game was.“beark”-'.Mike faa& a kind of unfledged or f riroiiive preacher; arid at prater and camp meet h§6, ftliefb paSsed hut tent for eloquence, and loud shouting for the fetvor of sanctimonious zebl*, he shone effulgent, r-V.tef of exhorlers. . On account of propensities, the hilt bnys called Him “Mike Shooter, n “/or aharl ,” and a few of the wicked did not scruple to hint that bear hunting was his devotion, and preaching his sport. Hut oiir'discourse is not now of Mike the apostle, but of Mike itn^spurrstiilib.
