MIRACULOUS EsCApE.--.4 chid rescued
from, q Fdnther.-Last Saturday forenoon,
Mr. James Rauncy and wife. who live
about miles east of the village, IN the
town of Watson, left home on business,
leaving their house in charge OF their o'des,
child, u girl aged aboat IL years. Near
noon the glr heard the infant. eyed II
months which had been laid while asleep
on bed in an adjoining bedroom utter a
horrld screech, upon which she Immediately
ran TO his relief, and imagine her feelings
upon opening the door to see the panther
with the babe in It's mouth !e0pDg from
an open window Immediately over the bed
But she. like a true heroine, sprang upon
the bed and then DOT of the window,
screaming at the height Of her voice and
upon being joined by the ether children
about the house, pursued the panther at
her utmost speed. They followed 1t about
forty rods to pair OF bars which separat cd
the clearing from the forest, at which place
the girl states that she approached to

1t reIlnqulshed its hold of the child, leapt
the bars and made It's way into The woods.
The infant was picked up much strangled
from lis rapid movement through the grass
and sand which had filled lis mouth and
eyes, but soon recovered, and is now well
save few scratches about Its body which
have the appearance Of having been made
by the panlher's teeth. These marks are
very plan, and there are several blood
bIlsters raised where the teeth in slipping
came in contact. The girl states that the
panther dropped the child once before arrl
wing at the fence, and it is supposed the
giving away Of the clothing was the cause
as they were much torn.
We have the above particulars from I'M
questionable authority, and the probability
of the story will not be questioned when Il
is known that the immcusc forest east OF
the river is Inhabited by the panther, aud
that at this season q! the year they ire.

itself, which fact accounts for It's approach
ing the dwelling, the Hardness OF It's move
ments, and its inability to leap the bars
with lis prey in Its mouth, as we under
stand it made two Intellectual efforts before
giving it up. Too much praise cannot be
bestowed upon the brave glrl who thus
saved the life Of the child.
