1 ‘to “WhaMi-lt" Outdone I
From the Vicksburg Herald, 1st.]
The following extraordinary story—
which for want of space wc have been
compelled to condense—wc have re
ceived from a perfectly reliable source.
About twenty-free miles from <his
city, Imt in this county, is a small
stream known ns Bear creek, which
empties into the Big Black river. The
margin of both these streams, in that
vicinity for miles back, is an almost
impenetrable swamp, grown up with
canobrukes and wild, tangled vines,
but filled witli all kinds of game, inclu
ding bear, deer, and tm'kfjpi;
In pursuit of this game fnnhy young
men resort to this spot with their
hounds. Tor sometime past, strange
stories have been told by the negroes
of an extraordinary animal s#cn neat'
these swamps. The negroes, in their
usual manner, gave graphic and start
ling descriptions of his appearcncc,
but usually winding up with the
declaration that it was the devil which
had been scon by them. Out pecu
liarity, as described by the negroes,
was that lroin his (racks he seemed to
be going both ways at once. That is.
ono foot pointed to the front and the
other to t! e rear. These stories were
laughed at and derided by the citizens,
no one believing in any such statement.
This extraordinary creature had often
suddenly presented himself among the
negroes in the early twilight, causing
great consternation among them. lie
is described by the negroes as being
about eight feet high, each eve, in tlicit
language, “as large as a lien's egg,’
with no nose and no upper lip, his twe
eye teeth ns large as a man’s thumb
extending down over bis chin abou
eight inches; his right foot point)
directly to the front and the left one tc
the rear, mid the measurement of tin
track is just twenty-three inches ii
length; his finger nails are perfectly
hard and solid, and are about sis
inches long; the hair oil his head—
which is still' and wiry—sweeps tin
ground ns lie walks, and is parted ii
the rear and brought down on earl
side of liis singularly formed chest
which is not round or flat, but is 'angu
lar like that of a fowl. The hair on tin
body of this singular being is very
still' and grows to the rear, parting a
the angle of the breast hone, growing
back and uifitiug with a long stif
growth on his spine which extend:
back about one foot like the spinal lii
of a fish, or the bristles on the back 01
a boar—the hair on his arms is parted
and grows in the same way, making 8
long, thick brush on the back of tin
arm. extending from Hie shoulder tc
the point of the middle finger: tin
same peculiarity is observable on his
legs. This singular and horrible ob
ject, the negroes represent, has beet
seen by them at different times foi
several months, and that night lias beei
rendered hideous by the unearthly
bowlings of this unknown animal. Nt
white person has-over seen him unti
recently, when he was discovered by >
hunting party. Several gentleman—
acquaitnanoes of ours—met on Iasi
Thursday week with a view of beai
hunting in this swamp ; they were ac
companied by about fifteen well-train
ed bear docs. They prepared for the
hunt early in the morning, and, wlici
about commencing, their attention wai
attracted to an unusual large huinai
track in the soft soil; upon exnmina
tion it was discovered that the trad
was continually reversed. In an in
stant the stories of the negroes occur
red to the party, and at once it win
determined to pursue the crealun
which had made the track. The dog:
were instantly called and encourage!
to follow the track, which they di<
promptly. The gentlemen, mountc.
on good horses, found no difieullv ii
keeping well up with the hounds, ii
a few minutes an -object was prescntia
to their view wmcu sent a emu to tin
hear! of every member of the party
They hail unearthed the Nondescript
A being—apparently human—sudden
ly arose from his lair—turned, and lot
a moment stood in silent inspection ol
his pursuers, and then instantly, with
a yell truly terrific, wheeled, and with
the speed of the fastest horse rushed
away before the dogs.
Tltis wild and exciting chase contin
ued for a distance of nearly ten miles
when at last the terrible monster
foaming with rage, was brought to hay
upon the hank of the Big Black, and
with a fury unparalleled, it seized the
foremost dog with both hands and by
the exercise of superhuman muscular
strength, buried its long talons in the
body of the howlingbrutc and literally
tore the dog asunder. Dropping this
it instantly seized the next and sent its
two immense tusks through the skull
of the doomed dog. One of the hun
ters becoming alarmed for the salty of
the party, drew ids revolver and fired
twiee at the monster but evidently
without effect other than to frighten it
by ihe report, when turning with a
hidaus yell it plunged into the river,
diving and remaining under water
fully five minutes, when it would sud
denly spring high into the air, scream
ing with tlte voice of a regiment of sol
diers. It finally swam to the opposite
sitle and disappeared in the neighbor
ing forest, since which time lias been
seen only twice by white persons.
Several attempts have been made to
capture it, but up to the present time
without success. *
What this strange creature is, no one
can conjecture. The gentleman with
whom we have conversed represents it
a9 a black man about six feet high, but
in other respects resembles to a great
degree the desciptiou given by the ne
groes.
It has broken the negrose from atten
ding loyal leagues at night In that sec
tion of country.

[Froth the Bottthu a Cultivator.
To make potatoes. it is necessary to
plant in tolerably rich, sandy soil, inclined
to be moist but not wet. The preparation !
of ground consists in deep plowings, in ;
the winter, and frequent stiring of the ,
i earth by more shallow plowings, in the |
| spring, to keep grass and weeds down un- i
- til your plants are ready to set out. In!
j order that you have your plants early I re
: commend bedding the potato, from the
middle of March to the first of dpril, as
follows:
Select a piece of ground near a branch, j
with a southern exposure—1 prefer sandy
soil—spade it deep, rake und level it, then ,
lay it off in beds four feet wide—t»ke off!
about two inches of the top of the earth '
and sprinkle a light covering of well rot- !
ted stable, or cow yard manure, over the
bed. Cu this place your potatoes, yams
and yellow Spanish, leaving the width of
your finger between each potato, dfter !
the bod ia filled with potatoes, as above 1
1 directed, cover them with tine, well rotted :
] manure—with a spade throw on the earth :
1 three inches deep—taking it so as to open '■
a branch around each bed. to prevent them
front holding too much water. As weed*
and grass spring up, shave off’ the earth
with a weeding hoe, and as the weather
gets warm, water them with a watering!
pot, every evening. You will have an [
early and luxuriant growth of plants i
Those must be drawn very carefully from .
the beds when they get two or three inches
high, placed in a hamper basket, and set
; in water some hours before you intend
; setting them out, particularly if theground
is not in good order for transplanting,
ll’ith a turninsr shovel lav off the rows
tliree feet wide and plow out deep and
1 close. Cross plow with one or more fur
4 rows and draw up the earth with a weed
ing hoc, so as to form a small hill, and in
sert—one draw or plant in each hill, leav
ing the bud and one inch of the plant
above the ground. Cultivate them well,
by plowing close and deep with a scooter
plow early in the season, and draw the
earth to the plant in Alay and June, win n
; the vines cover the ground so that you
! cannot use the plow. ATeep them clear of
weeds and grass and. if the seasons suite,
■ you will make fine potatoes. 1 would re
mark that it is not necessary for the earth
to be wet for transplanting the potato. By
planting early in the season, before hot
days arrive, you can set them when you
i can plow up damp ground, if you will
transplant late iu the evening and water
with a half pint of water to each hill on
the evening of transplanting.
In transplanting in dry weather, after
inserting the "slip’’ in the hole prepared
for it, throw in a little dirt on the root,
then pour on a little water and after this
his boon absorbed, fill up with dry dirt
This is the most successlul method of
transplanting all kinds of vegetables.

To Italse Early Tomatoes.
About the first of March, take a few
largo turnips and cut out the hearts of
them, to form a sort of cup. Till the cav
ity with earth, and plant two or three to
mato seeds iu each. When the seeds have
well sprouted, pull up all hut the health
iest plant in.each turnip and let those that
remain stand where they will get the ben
efit of the sun; the plant will grow very
thrifty—the decaying turnip furnishing it
food. When the weather becomes suffi
ciently warm, set the turnips in well pre
pared soil, net less than three feet apart,
make the lathe frames to keep the vines
from the ground, mid keep the Soil well
hilled up around them, and you will have
a uiuj* in.u. wm ubiuiiou.uie nauvos. J ne
advantage consists in getting the plants
started early without setting them hick in
transplanting.

A New am* Valuable: Plant.—The
Charleston (S. C.) Courier has an account
! of a wonderful volunteer tomato plant,!
which was produced in the little town of ]
Waldo Alachua county, Florida, the pre- :
sent season It covers a bed eighteen feetj
square. This remarkable growth was pro- '
] duced by the same habit by which the
j banyan tree multiplies iLself indefinitely.
The top of the plant became so heavy that '
it bent to the ground, and the branches
I taking root,“other new plants grew up, and
these again produced ethers, each new
sprout producing fruit, the same as The
original plant. This process has goue on
until the space covered measures, as we
i have said, eighteen feet square. The first
fruit produced in the latter part of May,
and the vine has been known to have as
much as a bushel of perfect fruit upon it
at one time. By the lutter part of August
it had produced about six bushels, and
was still giving a good supp y. The fam
ily to whom it belonged was supplied cn- I
: tirely from the one vine, besides giving:
away large quantities It is evidently a
new vat icty of (his valuable garden vege ;
table.

A Sensible Proposition.—The only
sensible proposition yet made in the Chain
pang Convention, at Jackson, was by Mr
Nesbit, day before yesterday, who propos
ed that as the waters of the river were up !
behind the State House, that they all go
down and drovvu themselves.
Wo regret to say that Mr. Nesbit was
"cello 1 to order,” and his resolution was
not adopted I—Vicksburg, Miss., Times
