HINDH, THE NIMROD.
Iln Oct Ills Omisp Cnnltril In
(Irrnt ttiirprlso.
Ill
On Monday last, the Mb lust., T. S.
Iliude, of this city, .started out in com
pany Willi his favorite double-barreled
gnu, for a lew hours' pleasure at his fa
vorite pastime, hunting. After a con
siderable time, spent In rambling up
and down the river and aioiiud the
lakes, his labors wcro rewarded wqjj
the possession of a large fat goose. The
ambition of our worthy Nimiod seem
ing now fully satisfied, ho lurn"d him
self iiroliml about nnd slurted for his
home. Arriving nt his store in
this city, lie alighted from his
buggy to lest himself, mid receive the
congratulations of his many fiicuds up
on his siici'U'.s as u shooter. Loud and
jitol'ii-e were the feigned euloglstu oral
effusions which seemed to spontaneous
ly emanate Irom the bosom of the
crowd, whllo Cou-tnble Ill-own called
i.ur hero to one side "to see him pri
vately for a minute." When Hindu le
turned hu ton tut that the crowd had dis
persed ; and u vacancy stared him in
thu face, from the place which his
goose iiad occupied. Hu betiu to
"smell a mouse" and at once grew fu
rious. Ho raved und swore; charged
about tliieatunlugly und foamed but
all to no purpose; the goose could not
bo found. Alter .earchiug about dili
gently for a couple or three days, ,sns
plcioniug many, mul cnqiilrlngof every
one ho met, with a hope, of finding
some clue to either the whereabouts of
thu goose, or t o perpetrator of tho
jolxo sometimes threatening persons
suspleioned, in order lo gain track of
thu lost treasure; and at other times
trying confidentially to get some one to
dlvu .go thu coveted information. Hut
his plans all failed and finally ho re
luctantly and sorrowfully gave up tho
i-eureh.
Nothing moro was thought of the
matter unlit Thureduy about ten o'clock,
a. in., when information was received
i;y T. S. Hindu and wife, and 1). P.
