Henry Eaddy, of Johnlonville, came in to see as Saturlav and renewed his subscription 0 Tub Record and the Commoner. VIr. Eaddy is an occasional conribulor to our columns, and hi.* irtifcles are to full of pith and joint that we have come to call lim "The Sage of Possum Fork." in this issue he demonstrates in 1 very forcible way the fallacy of he so-called "endless chain" ichemes. Information reached here Mon lay from a reliable source thatj i negro supposed to h? Caear Uaskins. alias William fohnson, the chaingang convict vhoso bold escape was published ast week, had been seen the Wednesday before over the swamp rom Mr. J. E.

A queer-looking subterranean :reature came to light last Monlay Irom Ike speut of one of the ?ablic artesian wells. This strange specimen came from a depth ol J21 feet below the surface of the ?arth and it is certainly a sui gen>,ris to all who examined it. About 24 inches long and ot a light, jreenish color, with white spots ibout the part supposed to be the lead, if resembles a small fish ! he mellusk type without either ?yes or fins. When first seen it teemed to be alive, with the power of attenuating or contractus its body, but soon alter being ?xposed to the light it died.
