Panther Killed.

A friend at Belmont furnishes us with
the particulars of the killing of panther
on the plantation of DR.. Davidson, in this
county, aboutsix miles south of DemopOlis.
1t appears that one OF the Doctors freed
men went cOon-hunting on the night of
the 9Th inst, aud his dogs soon ''treed"
what he supposed to be raccOon. Getting
a sight OF the animals eyes, however, he
thought it could be nothing less than a
wild cat The ball took effect, but did not
kill the "varmint," which sprang to the
ground, ran some 200 yards, aud again
''treed." A load of buckshot dislodged the
animal again, when it ran of, but being
brought to bay by the dogs, the negro
treated him to charge OF squirrel shot,
which had no perceptible effect, as he ran
off again. This ended the hunt for the
night; but the next morning the freedman
renewed it, having been reinforced by the
overseer. The game was soon discovered,
and after two shots killed. 1t proved to
be veritable panther, measuring as fol-
lows: from nose to endOf till, seven feet
three inches; height forward, twenty-one
inches; behind. thirty three inches; girth,
twenty-five inches; around neck, twenty
inches; forearm, ten and one-half inches;
ears, from tip to tip, ten and One-half inch
es; weight, one hundred and fifty pounds.

y oung America ON a Rampage.

In our journeyings to and fro yesterday
in search of an item, we happened to visit
the depot, and whilst there had an oppor-
tunity afforded of witnessing a set-to be-
tween two belligerents of the Young Amer
lea stripe. One of them was a news boy
and the other train boy, who has the sole
privilege of selling books and papers on
the train. Train boy caught news boy
transgressing upon his territory, and "went
in" to him in lively manner, bringing the
claret freely-while news boy caught the
thumb of train boy in his grinders" biting
him severely. Several persons at thisjunc-
ture interfered and separated them. This
little melee caused considerable excitement
among passengers and others in the depot
and at one time we were in hopes of getting
big item-but it was all spoiled by the
appearance of the depot policeman, Brooks.
We came away from the scene of combat
quite disappointed In our expectations.

from tho Dayton Empire,i

y Wa
\ Colonel ManypennY. General Agent of
the Lessees of tie Public Works OF Ohio,
has offered proposals to contractors for re-
pairs of the dan on the Muskingum river,
Improvement at Marietta, and the dam at
Black Hand, ten miles east of Newark, on
the Ohio canal.
The Toledo Blade, of Saturday, gives a
concise aud quite interesting review or
damages and the extent of the repairs to
be made.
The extent of the damages done by the
unprecedented floods which occurred in
the month of September last, on the line Of
the Miami and Erie canal, between Piqua
and Cincinnati, sweeping away canal, rail-
road and levee embankments, inundating
the city of Dayton, and destroying hun
dreds OF thousands of bushels of the grow
ing corn crop in the Miami Valley, can not
be estimated. The canal alone sustained a
loss of over $5S000, in money actually paid
outin making repairs; in addition to losing
she revenues of more than a month at q
season Of the year when it was most dam
aging. The steam dredges, which cost $l3,-
600, aided vastly IN the labor.
The floods on the Scioto river, from Co
mmbus south along the Ohio canal to
Portsmouth, were not so great, yet the
4 damage done the Ohio canal amounted TO
$34500. During this flood, a breach was
also made in the dam at Black Hand, near
Newark, which is Is feet high and 200 feet
long, which was promptly repaired. Ihe
| great rain, which occurred early In October,
caused another loss OF $4,000.
The damage done the Muskingum I'm
proVement, is more serious than that done
| TO all the balance of the Eastern Division OF
the Public Works. A breach of one hun
dred and twenty feet was made in the dam
at Marietta early in August. The lessees
had Just completed Golfer dam, composed
of brush and stone, in eighteen feet OF
water, at cost of twelve thousand dollars,
when the September floods swept out the
entire new. work, and seriously damaged
the remaining portion of the dam, thus
| again suspeDding navigation. This last
disaster carried out the sand and earth de-
post to the rock, where there Is now
twenty eight feet of water in the break, at
the ordinary stage of the river. This will
cost no less than thirty-tive thousand dol
| lars. ". -..-
Two of the other dams between Toledo
and GAINESVILLE were seriously damaged
/ The foundation of one of the steamboat
locks. located at Beverly, was also under
mined during the season. This Will in
volve an expenditure of twenty thousand
| dollars,
The total estimate of damages on the sew
eral lines. is put at one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars.
All can appreciate the vast importance to
| the people of the State in sustaining these
great works, which have cost over seven
teen million dollars, as means Of cheaply
transporting the products of the State to
market,

In January, 1874, Immediately after the
conclusion of peace with Great Britain,
Congress passed the following: .u.s l..
"Resolred, unanimously, That it be, and

Legislatures of the respective States, to

DiabOlIc al lOutrage--A Negro Attempts
\ 10 Rape n White WOman-tAc ~
Caught and Lodged In the CITY
Prison. Il
On Christmas day, German by the
name of Louis Weaver, living four miles
north of this city, near,the Wortliington
plank road, had occasion to visit Columbus
on business, leaving his wife and two small
children at home, Some time after the
husband was gone, Mrs. Weaver observed
negro coming into the yard of the house,
and fearful that his intentions were Dadsi
she locked the door, and when he demanded
admittance, she. rrfiised to let him In
whereupon he commented breaking
down the door, and rs 1t fell
in, she jumped out aud endeavorcd TO
make her escape to a neighbours house.
The negro took after her; she had not pro-
ceeded far b, fore he caught her and
threw her down. She screamed for help,
but the nhuman wretch tried to stop her
mouth with the hair OF her head, and she
now wears marks of violence on her mouth
and cheek which he had scratched aud
bruised in his efforts TO stifle her cries.
Fortunately, an Irishman, whose name we
did not learn, heard her cries and saw the
negro, and, leaving,his team on the plank
/ roa in charge OF his wife, he hastened to
her rescue, When the negro saw him he
jumped up and ran, but the sturdy Irish
man soon overlook him aud held him fast,
until her brotherLin-law, Mr.. Adam Amich'
arrived, who had al.o heard her cries for
help. Mrs. Weaver was considerably
bruised in the conflict with the Internal
hell l-hound. and serious consequences yet
may ensue, as she is enceinte, and In an
advanced stage. Mr.. Amich and the Irish
man placed the black rascal in a wagon
and brought him to the city. He was
placed ia the city Jail and will have an ex-
animation this morning at nine o'clock. IL
is shame to let such a ilend live. The
husband would have been justified taking
his life at once. gi4u .r, |
We scarcely pick up an exchange now-a-
days but we read of similar outrages all
over the country. The half civilized freed
men of the South are turned loose upon the
community through the influence OF Radi-
cal fanatics, and this is but the commence
ment of their outrages. The doctrine OF
equality of races which they eagerly i'm
bibe. have turned their heads, and we look
with dread to the future OF our country.
All the passions which exist within the
breasts Of those demi-sayages will have
free vent and murder, rapine and theft will
be the fearful consequences. "" "'.' 81

has gone to st. Louis to look after Radical
rev0lutionists in Missouri. Mr.. Seward,

The court had been forced to adjourn,
many times. from day to day, because the
Sheriff as often came in and reported an in

crisis. The Judge fixed day beyond
which no further forbearance could be ex-

Excitement in OmciaI Circles.

The Washington special of the Cincin-

der date Of December 26:
There has been considerable stir in GER
tain official circles to-day, and yet the
cause OF it has only partially transpired.-
All that can be definitely stated is that a
party from this city, and chief among
whom was Frederick Seward, Assistant
Secretary of State, went over to Annapolis
last night, and Immediately put to sea upon
the Government steamer Gettysburg, Ad-
miral Porter being in command. The Get
tysburg was one OF the swiftest aud m )st
successful blockade runners, and after be-
ing captured by our forces she was used to
pursue vessels engaged in running the
blockade. The object Of the expedition.
or its destination, cannot be ascertained."
