Excitement in Jefferson.

! The people of jefferson, over in Lincoln
county, have been quite disturbed of late
| over terribly savage wild beast in their vi.
cinity. Children were kept at home from
school, terrific noises were heard III the woods
and fiery eyeballs CLEANED out from the under
brush by the roadside as the frightened people
passed along, lashing their horses to their full
est speed. But the mystery has been solved,
and the animal that has caused such conster-
| nation has been captured and killed and per.
haps eaten.
Arthur Meservy was one day recently pass
ing through the woods in jefferson, accom-.
panied by boy and trusty dog, when the
dog took scent which led him into the
woods. After running a short distance, the
dog begun to bark violently. The man and
boy went to the spot to see what the dog had
found, and found the faithful animal at the foot
OF tree, high in the branches of which was
monstrous beast, the cause, undoubtedly, of
all the neighborhood's woes. Mr.. Meservy
had the courage to stand his ground while
he sent the boy to the nearest neighbours,
some half a mile distant, for gun. The gun
was brought, aim was taken, and the animal
fell to the earth dead.
The animal is supposed to be species Of
the Canada lynx, distinguished oftener in
Maine by the name Of loupceyeier. 1t is timid
and quite harmless creature, and the people
of Jefferson who were fearful of its eating up
their children were needlessly alarmed. 1t
is quite incapable Of attacking the larger
quadrupeds but is very destructive to rabbits
or any small game that may happen to come in
its way. When brought to bay it makes but
slight resistance, and is easily captured and
killed. 1t is clumsy and awkward on account
of its large paws, slender loins, and long but
thick hind legs, with large buttocks, scarcely
relieved by thick, short tail. Its flesh is
eaten, closely resembling that of rabbit.
There are some species Of this tribe of ami
mails that are quite savage, but they are never
found in Maine. 1t may be that the animal
in question was what Is known as the "Indian
Devil" belonging to the panther tribe. If so,
the good people had ample cause to be afraid.
In all probability, however, that captured ami
NAL was loupesrrier. 1t had body four feet
in length, and head not very unlike that of
dog. The skin of the animal has been pre-
pared and forwarded to the Massachusetts.

New stores Wanted.

We hear the subject frequently discussed
on the streets, of the great want Of suitable
stores on Water street-stores that may be
built and profitably leased at 4 comparatively
low rate. Would it not be q good investment
for capitalists to buy up the good locations
now covered with one-story finder boxes, and
erect substantial brick buildings? Some Of
the very best locations on Water street arc
taken up by buildings erected after the great
fire and intended only to serve temporary
purpose. Three or four-story brick buildings
would rent at once and pay well. We know

Heavy Snow Storm.

The first really earnest and honest snow
storm of the season, begun here on Monday
evening, and continued all night with blus-
tering northeast wind. The snow was light
and drifted considerably. About eight inches
tell here on the level, a sufficient quantity
and evenly enough distributed to make good
sleding. The railroad men grappled with the
storm and showed themselves equal to the
emergency. The Pullman train east yester-
day morning and the passenger trains east
and west yesterday ploughed through the
drifts, and were but abou. an hour late.
East Of US there was foot or more Of snow
fell. AT Brunswick six or eight inches fell
during the night. The strong northwest wind
drifted the snow badly. About the same
quantity fell in Pennington.
We hear of large quantities of snow in
several localities previous to the late storm.
From foot to foot and half fell at Frye.
