A Desperate Adventure.

HOW TWO CALIFORNIA BOYS KILLED PANTHER
The following story, narrating how two boys
killed panther and two cubs, Is told the Sac
rament0 Union by a subscriber, residing in
Colusa County, California:
Permit me to make known to you an incident
which transpired during the summer months a;
the north foot of Grindstone, in Colusa county.
The particulars are related to me by Rowcrott,
a gentleman residing in the vicinity Of MELVILLE,
upon whose veracity you can safely rely. He
says two young men, with whom he is personally
acquainted, started to the mountains, as is Gus
tomary, with band of sheep. One was named
Orlando Burris, aged fourteen years, and the
other Charles Hull, aged eighteen.
After getting thoroughly settled in their cabin
and the sheep under good control, they started
off one bright morning trout-ishing, having
latter in the possession of young Hull, and the
only weapon of defense in case OF an attack from
wild animals. They had not gone far when
they came to an old moss grown log, and were
panther and her two cubs. YoungSBurris Kissed
the sheep-dog on the panther. She Immediately
seized the dog by the head and was Furnishing
him in frightful manner, when young Burris
came to the rescue, catching the panther by the
tail and endeavoring TO pull her off the dog. In
case the panther let go her hold it would have
been sure death to the young adventurer.
just In the nick of time young Hall, seeing
the danger his companion was in, drew his jack
knife and rushed to the scene of the conflict.
Running his hand down over the panther, until
he felt the pulsations of the heart, he raised the
knife, and, with unerring aim, drove il straight
into the panther's heart. The animal fell dead
between them. Thus. by the merest accident,
the lives of the two young heroes were spared.
A few days afterward they hunted up the two
cubs, which escaped during the fight with the
old one, and killed them also. Any person pay
ing visit to their fathers residence see the
they accomplished. The dog recovered and is
as faithful as ever.

A Young Man Shoots Himself ON His
We0Ging Day.
(From the Clinton Democrat.l

From the Clinton Democrat
On Tuesday, December 18th instant there oc-
Cured in this county a somewhat singular ard
peculiarly sad case Of suicide, In which q re-
spectahle young man, without any known eaase
Tovs1 e Ssy be mas TO
married to young lady Of this county. The
particulars that are furnished by the coroner's
inquest are about all that have been ascertained,
and the reasons for committing the rash act viii
probably never be known, as there is no scrap
OF information left behind Whatever they
we're, whether for good or not, was divulged
70 no one, and known only to him who COM
miited the deed, and who now sleeps be-
meath the sod in Oak Grove Cemetery. The
young mans name, who thus cut short his
eXistence-so tar, at least, as the affairs Of
this world are concerned-was n. j. Chafin,
aged about twenty-three years. He resided on q
small farm, which he owned, about ten miles
southwest Of this place, and where he raised a
ingdale I'm this county. Recently young Chaffin
lived by himself. lie had won the affections Of
young lady-a Miss Ezell-who lived only a
short distance from where he resided, and the
day for celebrating the wedding nuptials was set
for Tuesday, the 18th, at O'Clock. The cere-
mony was TO take place at the residence of the
brides parents. The day arrived, and the in
vited iguests had assembled, and, at the ap-
pointed hour, everything was in readiness The
would be bride was dressed in her wedding
attire, and nothing seemed lacking but the
groom, who did not make his appearance
according to promise. After enduring a
lengthy suspense, Mr.: VIM. Ezell, brother
Vi INC m.OnuOu UfiuS, went III search OF
young Chaffin to learn what had happened, that
he did not come up to promise. The result of
his search, which is given below as it was made
in his testimony before the coroner's jury, tells
the balance of the story. Young Chaffin was
found in his own house, lying on his bed, with
two bullet-holes through his forehead. and a re-
volyer graspeG in his hand. He laid face down.
