Brenner, atoompanied by the Dashwood butcher, went down the river for the purpose of hunting and shooting game. They had nob gone far when Mr. Brenner, noticing a hole, about forty feet above the ground, 10 a large tree, came to tbe conclusion that a coon was secreted there. _eloping to scare the animal from its nest Mr Brenner fired at the tree, the bell entering the trunk about two feet below the hole. They then heard a noise indicating the presenrie of ocon ; and after telling the tree, found a large coon perfectly dead, the bell heeler/ pierced its neok. This may be conceded as remarkable, bet leis absolutely hue. It was one of the many eingulfw nee,. ^t" eidents.
