4 Woman's Encounter with ii Monster
Alligator.

From Tho New Iberia aj Planters Banner, Aug. 81.
Yesterday tho wife OF George Harme-
lin, on Nine O. Daiahousses planta-
ton, was washing her clothes on the
banks Of the Grand Maria canal, about
four feet deep at this time. A large
black alligator, twelve feet long, which
had few days lcfore captured a large
hog, and which was probably hidden
in the bushes, seeking It's prey, darted
in noiseless, stealthy way and caught
the woman by the arm, dragging her
in.o the water She succeeded in dis
engaging her arm, but the monster en-
closed her head in its jaws, and brought
her once more under the water. Then
a frighttul struggle took place; the
neighbors too far off to hear the cries
of the unfortunate woman she was lett
20 defend her own life.
She can't give au extract account Of
the manner by which she extricated her
head from the monsters jaws, but said
she never lost presence of mind and
her fixed purpose of reaching the bank.

pitabe aspect indeed. Her arm pre-

deep wounds, but the fangs of the al
ligator had not pierced the back hair
or chlgnon.
None Of these bites were torn or jag
ged, but all offered a clean, linear shape
like that of Gue-edged knife. | saw
the wound about an hour after the ac-
cideut, and | could detect no trace OF
excitement in her manner. | suppose
she owes her life TO her sang frOid and
scli-posscsslon.
Old hunters say that swamp alliga-
tors are more ferocious than the lake or
bayou specimens. This one had a turn
ed-up snout, like the Nile alligator, SO
well known for its terocity--at least, 50
say the neighbors, The noiseless ap
proach Of the animal-not creating q
ripple or cracking in the weeds-and
seizlng the arm Of the unbalanced wo.
man, is very remarkable.

ure. When | saw a statement in an
advertisement that the Craig Micro
scope magnified one hundred diane
tiers, and could be bought for $3.50.
| thought it was one of the humbugs
of the hour, for 1 had paid $40 tor

>trument which I should lie to see
introduced into the families of our
