CHILD DESTROYED NY WILD BEAsr.-Y ester
day, In addition to the tremendous hail shower
which made every heart sad in the good town o.
Canterbury. eight miles northeast of US, another
matter made great sensation in that town A
child of Jonathan Ayres, esq., aged about six years
was sent into pasture near the house for come
purpose, but, not returning in due time, search
was made for it, and soon some of its limbs were
found, the most of its flesh having been deyoured
evidently by some savage animal. This discovery
brought out the fact that some of the neighbors
recently had had gliInpses of ferocious creature
resembling wolf, whose den, from it's actions,
they supposed must be in the woods near by. Such
animals have not been seen here much during the
last quarter Of a century, and we are told many
men are in the woods in pursuit Off day. The
child was one OF much interest, and its family
friends are numerous. Mr.. Ayres Is a member Of
our State Legislature the present year, and was so
last year Concord M H. paper.
