A BOYS ENCOUNTER WITH A PANTHER.
The Nanaimo british Columbia)
Free Press of the iith inst. furnishes tho
following:
On Wednesday last, while Messrs.
Landale < llinkson were out on the sur
vey Of Mr.. Jones' farm. at Qnaliehum,
Leslie Jones. n boy 10 years old. who
accompanied them went in their absence
from the house to fetch water. The
day wa. fosgy, and while returning.
q panther sprang upon him and rolled
him over. He managed to get up, and
kicked the beast in the throat; his only
weapon bein. thick pair OF boots on
sturdy legs. He then ran. and the par-
thsr again caught him, and tore oil his
clothes. Strange 20 say, he again es-
capped and ran. lie was again caught,
and got OFF and ran. Messrs. l.. and IL.
then came up u, q little distance and tho
panther made of. The wonder is that
the boy was not at once dsyoured. We
learn from Messrs. l.. and ii. that the
saliva and claw marks Of the beast were
plainly visible ON the boy. and that the
tracks in the swampy ground botokened
a good sized animal.

LndicrOus Scene in a Pulpit.

A German paper relates the following
aaccdotc.
In a Bararian town Of the most pro
nounccd orthodoxy, the priest preached
lately against the Old Cath olics, andre
lated such horrible things about them
that his pious hearers were literally hor
ror stricken a. Old Catholic impropietics
AT last the preacher cried out:
The Old Catholics sarc so vilc that
they will all be cast into the pit, and if
what tell you is not true, may the
devil take Inc now on the spoil
His excitement was so terrible, and
he so struck the cushion that tie book
fell from it. Not far from the pulpit
there sat an American, who had ne
gro servant with him, to whom he heck
oned to take tho book up to the priest,
who, perhaps, had never seen one of
those SONS of ham in his life. The ne
gr, at once obcyed, and as ho mounted
the lowest OF the pulpit steps, the cler
gyman repeated his wish that the devil
might come and take him if what be had
said against the Old Catholics was not
true. Although the negro vent softly
the preacher heard his footsteps, and
turning round saw a black object sol
emnly, steadily and surely approaching
him, He looked Mt him with terror,
and believing that he would the next
instant be eollarcd by his Santanic Ma
jcsty he cried out with trembling
voice.
1t is, after all, possible that there
may be good people among the OLD
Catholics
Turning then round to see if the OBJ
ject had disappeared he saw it still stca
diiy approaching. The porspiration
burst out on his brow, and full of dcs
pair he called out
There arc even many good people
among the Old Catholics
Thinking tha. this would suffice, he
turned round, but what was his horror
to find the object close at hand. Imag
iuing himselfn the very grasp of Bel
zebuh, turning partly to the negro and
partly to the congregation, he cried
out;
May the devil come al take mc if all
the Old Catholics are not better than
