From the Allentown (Pa.) Chronicle.
The people of Washington township
were thrown into an unusual state of ex-
element few days ago by the appearance
of very remarkable and very strange
looking animal near the, foot. of the Blue
Mountain. 1t was afterwards seen prowl-
ing around the premises of Daniel Haud-
work, and one afternoon it seized and car
ried of to the mountain one of his largest
geese Pursuit was made, but the animal
escaped. A strong and well bated fox trap
was set on the farm Of Hon. Samuel J. Kist.
Ter, where it had last been seen, and in
very sholt- time they. had the satisfac-
ton of bagging their game, which, I'm
the end, owing 10 the great strength and
ferocity of the animal, was the most Diff
cult part of the undertaking, bat by means
of pifchforks, pixies, clubs, &C., it was
finally secured. Some idea of its great
strength may be formed from one of the
leapslh made after being caught in the
trap. 1t jumped twenty feet. carrying
with it the heavy trap, chaina and anchor
used in cafcI ing foxes. The stran gest
part of the whole affair is that the oldest
| hunters in the vicinity do not know what it
ia. It has the appearance about the head
of a wild cat, yet the shape ofits body and
limbs is riore Ike that of dog; in size it
much exceeds wild cat; it is of a dark
color, with a few streaks of gray, and it's
hair is long and dcoarse All the works en-

Sketch OF saget the New President Of
Hayti.

The following. Is a sketch of the new
President of Hayti, who succeeds Salnave:
The antecedents Of President Saget are
such as to Justify the hope that his Gov
ernment- will bs distinguished by an en-
hghtened and liberal policy. In the first
place he has inherited liberal Republican
views from his father, VINO was one of the
Generals 6Istle war of independence, by
which Hayti threw off the yoke of France.
The elder Saget resided in the northern
part Of Hayti, where his son, the present
Gen. Massage Saget, Was born. When
Christopher separated from the western
and southern portions of Hayti, in order to
erect an absolute monarchy in the north.
the father of the present President of Hayti
removed to the west, to give his co-opera-
ton to the republic under President Pc
ton, under whose Government he was a
Senator.
But in 1916, when the constitution of 1906
was modified, and Petion was made Presi-
dent for life. the stanch old republican
Withdrew Immediately from the Senate and
from public life, not being willing to give
his concurrence to such an absolute change.
Gen. sNissage-. Saget. has Nalways been
known to partake of the liberal republican
views of Eis father. And Solouque was so
fully ssare Of this. that, although he could
not convict Saget of any attempt at con-
spirscy against him. his very republican
ism alarmed him. and when by his (Sou-
louques) usurpstion Of Imperial rigors he
succeeded in changing entirely the Con-
stitution of his country, he thought il
Iexpedien. to. make prisoner O
Gen. ssget during the whole of hi
reign Oh sleyen,years. When Geffrard re
signed tie Presidency. in 1867, the Senate
elected Gen. Nissage President under the
Constitution of 1916. But as the clause
which geve the President life tenure of
that o.h,e had not been expunged frorn
the Constitution, he declined to accept the
place. aad recommended the organization
of a Provisional Government to administer
affairs until the people had time to elect
delegates to Constitutional Convention,
and to draw up . new Constitution with
important republican notifications, and
then to elect President in accordance with
its provisions His counsels prevailed,
and Provisional Government was or
ganized, of which he was made President.
A popular election was then held for dele
gates; Constitutional Convention formed,
and a new Constitution adopted, under
which Salnaye was elected President for
four yearS and before whom Gen. Saget
retired into private life, pledging to the
new President all constitutional obedience.
He kept his promise. and only drew his
sword against Salnave when the latter
trampled on the constitution which he had
sworn to support. President Saget il

OF the ship Surprise, dated at SHANGHAI
