Extract Of letter received in Philadelphia
frem merchant, dated st. Thomas, Dec.
%, 1881.
"Judging from the number Of wrecked
vessels which have come in here, | presume
your winter has set in early. Amongst others
the schooner General Van SAINT. of Great Egg
Harbor, from some part Of North Caroline,
arrived yesterday, having on board John Co
nord; formerly marshal Of your district. and
his daughter, who were taken from the wreck
Of the schooner Spy, on board of which they
were passengers going TO Baltimore from f.
denton, n. c. This news may relieve the
minds of their anxious friends-I have seen
them and they are both well !"
panther was killed on the night OF the
1 lth Dec. in Sandusky township, Ohio, uy
Mr. " iIiixm Vert. with the aid Of two dogs
and an axe Mr.. w was attracted to the
spet about 9 o'clock by the barking Of the
dogs From their movements about the
rsots of a tree be concluded they had SEINE
thing up it-probabiy a raccosn or wild cat
He accordingly lelled the tree, bu. before
il reached the ground. the animal leaped off
and went up another. The same operation
was performed several times At length the
dogs succeeded ia attacking hi,n on the
ground, and after desperate fight OF about
an hour, worried cut their antagonist, and
as he braced his head against a tree, Mr..
w. stepped up behind him, and despatched
him with the axe. He was not aware Of the
species Of animal he was csntending With,
until he had killed it,
a Straager-A friend informs Va, that, a.
bout two weeks ago, huge Panther made
his appearance in the neishborhood Of the
Black Horse Tavern, 10 this county. He has
since paid the people in that quarter several
vsits--and on one occasion, during one OF
the moon light nights, chased large dog Sc
yeral times back 10 the house on which he
belonged if he is permitted 10 remain long
at liberty, there is no knowing the mischief
which he may do; as he has already shown
some ef his feats of dexterity in killing sheep.
Sc. This is the first Panther, we believe,
which has been seen in our country for ma
nv wears: and il is no easy matter TO account
for visiting a part Of the country which Is SO
thickiy settled, unless it be that the extreme
cold weather has diminished, IN his former
haunts, the necessary supply OF game
We wsuld recommend t. our iriends IN
the neighbcrhood, a general turn out. Arm
ed with guns, and accompanied BY good dogs,
they might see seine sport-hGfd Jtsfssa.g at
