One of the citizens of New Ruin in
forms us that a vely unexpected contest
with a panther took place recently on
the head waters of Bear Creek. On We'd
nesday night of last week, Messrs. w. ID.
HAYS and James d. Jackson, and few
others, went out on coon hunt. When
they had proceeded about two miles,
the woods were reached, and the hounds
struck a track, and trailed it around
through the woods, and then across the
valley, towards the premises of Mr..
Richard Ogilvie, on Bear Creek. The
hounds then turned their course and
went directly towards the farm of Mr..
Samuel Scott, when they suddenly
came TO halt, and after hesitating a
moment, turned their trail to a north
eastern course. The young men, in the
meantime, had gained the highest sum-
NIT of the hill. TIE hounds came with
the swiftness of the wind, until they
were i'm forty yards of them, when they
stopped as suddenly as if they had been
struck by lightning. Hays and Jackson
heard an uneartbly scream. \ culver
ing voice from one of the party was heard
saying, at is the cry of a panther
The next moment faithful cur ran for
ward, and the panther sprang upon him,
and in few minutes the poor dog was
torn to pieces. The white-livered and
modest hounds scampered out of sight,
and the panther turned from the dead
dog to pay his respects to the men, who
Immediately followed the exa nple OF
the hounds, and stepped back. The fe-
rocious beast then sprang upon the body
of tree, which was very tall, and the
limbs several feet from the ground. The
moon shone brightly. and the young
men could behold the dark form of the
beast. Jackson and Hays drew forth a
brace of pistols, and taking deliberate
ail:,, they let fly the messengers of death
With fierce scream he sprang about fif
teen feet into the air, and fell to tho
ground without a groan.

There is said to be a genuine black fox
in the cedars, Mr.. III. f. Titcomb having
seen him on several occasions. lie is
the only one of his species in this sec
ton. A subscriber who lives in the ce
dars, says that the general belief in the
existence of the pure red fox in the ce-
dars, is mistake. But Mr.. w. J...MoorC
takes different ground, and his opinion
on all fox matters, is authority. Grey
foxes abound in the cedars. The rec
foxes sprang from couple brought
from Virginia number Of years ago.

The Deaf and Dumb Institute.

We are requested to say that the
Board of Regents will assemble to day
at Daley Hotel, at II o'clock, for the
purpose of selecting proper site for the
new Deaf and Dumb Asylum which Is
to be erected in this State. The Board
is composed Of gentlemen of character
and intelligence from different portions
of the State, and we hope they will
discharge their duty without
any local or sectional PARTIAL
~. Romncy, Clarksburg, Parkcrs-
burg and Ohio county, are contestants
for the Institution The three first To-
calitics have, we understand, Offered
imposing bids in donations and will, no
doubt, press their claims with zeal and
power. 1t remains for the Board OF
Supervisors of this city to decide this
morning, whether Ohio county shall be
out-wittcd in her contest for the prize.
Wheeling can and should present
greater inducements than any other
locality, and if she fails to do so, it will
he matter deeply to be regretted by
our people
