A WOMDEBFUL "OX.HWT. & Good Story Told on Some Amateut Hunters. Our Virginia mountaineers are tongh customers, and they -quatted all over the valleys at a nominal rent. which had to be drawn from them like their eve teeth. Th- old gentleman, how ever, had a fan.:y for tue place and u.ed to com lit-me with a whole stri:ng of horses behnd him as the revenue of his princi.ality. But we boys, and ini deed all . ur friends. used to look for ward ket nly to the ani'ual excursion to the uwo wais. My father had a pack of houds Of winch ae was ex ceedingly proui, and with whin hei would hunt. f'Oxes at homheg, and det-r when we went to --- ctunty. A long cavalcade it used to be' that ever Octoter started from this.. door for tile mountains. My father and one of his old cronies in the bi: carriage, twit wagons full ot provender, aninunitilon, blankets, etc., and fiften or t went. friends and servants, moa;esi on ad dle-horses in the i-ear. Tne ninet% miles used to give us three days of traveling, and at the end utr im n-f - t aineer tenants used to i hrong o meet us at the rude shootingx with stories of deer and "bar,'' wonderful to listen to, and with eyes lJokit:. wistfully at the corner where the whis key jar always stood. I eould ti!! the nient with stories of the otid way. and curious, simple lives of thes.e nou taineers, though none of them were such curiosities as oldJake, my father's negro huntsman. Caleb here was hfis nephew, and helped him as a boy with the dogs, and moreover is the grande-i liar we have in these parts. He's s1t ting up with the horse, so we'll call him and make him give you a speenien before we turn in. Caleb,,these getn tlenen want to hearabout Unble Jake's great Christmas fox-chase. "Lor' me. Mar'se George, them ar' times done gone so long now, I imos' disremember all 'bout 'em." "Why, it's not six weeks since I caught you telling those New York geutlemen-in the stable; let's have it now without any variations." "Well, gen'l'nens, it wur some fif -teen or twenity years befo' s'render, when I wur just a chap sorter helpin' roun.' Uncle Jake, now the ole jedge, that is Mar'se George's pa, had been fooled ever so many times by an ole red in Carter's mountain, not a great. ways from yer, and got sorter mad with the dogs, and old Jake, who loved dem ar' hounds jes' as if they'd bin folks, swore he cotch that fox if it took him the whole of Christmas week to do it in. The jedge he had a b:g dinin' o' quality on Christmas Day, an' ole Jake he jiest slipped off with the houndsi'hout de in the mornin'l and struck that fox's trail risht to onst. "He'd got sorter used to de ole red, and kuowed what line he'd take, fo' sho' He never went far from homie, but jes' kept gwine on roui' and roun,' more like a gray fox. 'Bout dinner time I guv over, as the: plow-mule on which I rode began to get kinder played out, but ole Uncle Jake had takcn the best horse in the stable, and jes' pitched right on near the hounds, who were air the time on the scent, makin' a heap o' fuss. "After dinner I took another horse and slipped out to see if I could bear an vt hing o' tne ole man, an' there sho' unff the hounds were traieling roun' -the mountain where they'd first found the fox., I soon cotched 'em and kep' along with Uncle Jake, till sundown, and when I began to talk 'bout giwine home fo' dark the ole man jes' ripped and cussed, and said he'd stay wid dat ar' fox till the new year fo' he'd let "Wel, gen'Imnen I jes' thote fr^ got may be a 'ti9k$'os-tf in his pocket, gud was sorter up~pish on ihxm * accon so left him my Iresh horse an' rodefor rather led, hi-'ni home. In .jj-KA'morning when I went rouind to the stables and quarters, I didn't see no bounds, nor horse, nor yet no0 Uncle - Jake. 8o says I, I'll jes' put the sad dle on the gray, and a pone o' corn bread and some meat in my pocket, and slig out and see if the ole man's "Well, sirs, I rode roun' till near midday, when suddenly I sees a dog cross the road befo' me, then a whole stringecomes along, and I sees Jumper -Frolio-Beauty, and the rest of them; you could 'most see' through 'em they were so thin, and though they had their mouths open, and was tryin' to raise a bit of a fuss it warn't no man ner o' use. "I knew Uncle Jake warn't far be hind, and presently, sho' nuff, there was a rustlin' in the wood, and be cum out right agin, the mtiserablest sight yon ever seed. Hie didn' 'pear to notice ma much 'cept just to slip off his horse and git on mine. i put the pone o' bread an' the meat in his -pocket, an' he went lopin' off after the dogs on the colt. "There wur no show ftur mue but to, git home with the mar', wvho looked as tho' she'd drop dead in her tracks. I dursn't fool with no mo' horses, an' jes' quietly sot up for Uncle Jake that night, but durn me if it warnt for noihin'; two o' the hounds cum sneakin' in 'bout sundown, but that wur all. "Next mornin' I went to ole mnar'se, the jedge, and he an' the company with thote it a mighty good j'mke, and the biggest kind of a crowd started out to look for the chase. There w ar not hin' left to hear, and it wur about eleven o'clock he struck right in agin the whole gang, and I wur with him, or no one would believe, genTmnens, what I tell ycu now, for, fo' God, sar, the fox wur walkin', the bounds wur walkin', anl'old Jake on the colt war walkin', alH within twetnty steps of one another. "Lord! you should ha' seen the ole Jedge. I thote he'd a-bust hisself' with * laughin'. He sent for a wagon atn' put the fox, the hounds and ole Jake. 3tter it, and had 'em dtruv home. Th-it's jes' as true, gen'l'mens, as In - - a 11vin1' man." Atlanta 'iXonths Open. Six months ago we hade no demaand fo: B.

C., February 8.-1t is really remarkable how much money may be realized from the culture o: tbacco under the best management. Your correspondent has just had called to his attenition an illustration of thlis fact. Mr. W. C. Sprinkle, a citizen ot Madison county, which adjoins Bunt comnbe on the north, who lives within a few miles of Marshall, the county seat, bought in 1879 three hundred acres of land, on time, for $2,000. This land it is said would not at that time prosduce more than ten buzshels of grain to the acre. The~ purcha.-er beg~ti the cultivation of tobacco otn a small scale for the first two y ears, having only $1,000 capital and raising also the supplies ineeded for his family. As rapidly as lie could get his money out of tobacco he sowed his old fields in grass, and they are now sufficienttly fertile to produce ex cellent qualities of the weed. For five years his crop of tobacco has aver aged him 82,000 per annum clear of expenses, and lie has recently been offered S10,000 for his farm. This not only shows that there is money for the planter of tobacco, but also proves that the weed, properly cultivated, does not exhaust the soi;, as many ene nies of the product are in the habit of' saving. TIhe planter above spoken of has nmade one acre produce $500 worth of tobacco, and on the old fields form erly abandoned and then by his efforts and methods reclaimed, hie has pro duced the leaf that brought 838 per hundred pounds. In some sectionls near here the plani ters are begininitg to sow the seed for the plants of the approaching season. Many, however, think it too early~ yet for this work. For a few days the weather has beett too extremely~ cold and dry to allow he handling~ and sale of tobacco. Large quantities are niow stored here, ut up in tierces and boxes, ready to be placed on the warehouse floors as on as the temperature and mtoisture of the atmiospher-e render the leaf pliable and soft, bringing it "into case" as tobacco men say.
