in consequence of dampness it took no eff.
feet. Becoming satisfied of its inutility he
;afned to lay it on the bed; the moment he
withdrew his gaze from the catamount, il
leaped distance of twelve feet upon his
left shoulder, and bit and scratched him

its hold. He then threw it upon the bee

wounds are not considered dangerous.
