A Rabytn n Panthers Jaw .

(Yreka zeal. journal, April a.)
Last Thursday evening, about dark,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Campbell aud
Dick Manpon were sitting on the porch
of the Soda Springs Hotel, TT Soda
Springs, on the Sacramento river, while
Mr.. Campbell's little boy, aged about
three years, was across the road, about
so or 50 feet distant, amusing himself
with cutting bushes with little hatch
ct. Those on the por,h were startled
and horr6ed by observing q panther
spring upon the child, and at the same
time supposed he was dangerously in
jur.d. Which would have been the case,
no doubt, had not tn. child screamed,
and those ont he porch shouted excited
ly, which prevented the panther from
making deadly spring, as hs was ev.-
IDENTITY watching and fearing the parties
on tn. porch. As it was the panther
seized the child by the chin, one Of the
tusks of the upper jaw cutting his lip,
and one in the lower jaw cutting his
neck, while the paw OF the beast struck
and scratcked him in the breast. The
shouting and rushing toward the child
by those on the porch caused the pan
ther to make tracks up the mountain
speedily, and, after picking up the
child and examining the wounds inhic-
ted Msnnon returned to the house for
his gun, and, following it up the noun.
tain, soou despatched the panther, a
hungry, lean looking customer mrasur-
five feet from tip to tip.

How Young Man Took Notice Sf a

Gently, as did Judge Taft, and also re,
f-rring to the letter as from the wife OF
an ex-m.mber OF the Cabinet, clear
ly directing attention to the wife OF
Judge Taft as the author. The letter
purported to be an exposure OF faulty
matters. The editorial cvmmens point
ed SO strongly to the wife Of Judge
Taft as the author that his sons felt II
their duty to notice it, which they did
by proceeding TO the office Of the pub
Usher, where the younger administer
ed beating. Mr.. Rose was found on
the sidewalk, in front of the Office, and
was knocked down, thrown into the
gutter, and most thoroughly whipped
by the young man, while the elder
brother kept the crowd back, and call

Th q Romantic Marriage Of q HNd

At Nyack, on the Hudson, New York,
the latest romauce in high and low life
has lec. ntly trausrired. Miss Caroline
Townsend, the eld st daughter of WIN.
A. Townsend, the publisher, of No. ls9
Broadway, privately married James A.
Weeks, a young man employed IL the

uary last, and tn. alliance has bnt just
uoule to light. Mr. Tow nsend has four
daughters, the three youngest Of whom
are married. Miss Caroline is over
thirty years of age, tall, OF dark com
plexiou, and dresses with great taste.
About s.ven months age Mr.. Townsend
disci arged his coachman and engaged
in that capacity one James A. Weeks.
During the winter tue sl.iphing has
been very good at Nyack and almost
every day Miss Townsend was Seen
on the road in company with the new
coachman, Jimmie On Tuesday
afternoon, the l4th of January last, at
thr-. O. clock. a couple drove to the
residence of the Rev. Mr.. g. M. 8. Bau-
Welt, the minister of the Reformed
Cnurch at Tappan, and the man al'ght-
ed from the sleigh.
Mr.. BlSuvelt's daughter came to the
door and the man asked If be could See
her father as he wanted TO get married.
MIR, Blauvelt was not at home sh. re-
plied, and he then made an appoint,
m-nt to come again. Tw" weeks elaps,
ed and tn. same couple drove mp to the
door. The occupants alighted and ELL
tered the house, and the told Mr.. Blau.
welt that they desired to be married.
Then the lady spoke up and asked Mr.
Blauvplt IL it was his custom to ruE-
sh the marriages which he celebrated
in the county papers. He replied thai
it was not his custom, but that all tn.

The lady said that she wished the

In 4 letter written to the Philadelphia
"Record" in relation to the 9l45, ,OOt
A per cent. loan, City Treasurer Fran
els Vincent estimates the population o.
the city at about A, 900. Mr.. Vincent
bases his calculation upon the numbrI
of new houses built since 1870 when the
population va. 81, 900. The number Of
buildings erected since that time Is
1895. Now counting eleven people to
two houses, would give an ad
ditionsl population Of l3 l22, which
added to the 81 coo Of 1870, would make
the population Of the city A, l22 Eleven
persons to two houses (reckoning both
oocu pied, and unoccupied) Is the ordi-
nary population of Anglo Saxon cities.
In Philadelphia the population aver
ages about six to q house. The panic
going over the country has not stopped
tho birth Of children, but 1t has caused
people to remove from the more expen.
sive dwellings to smaller ones, and In
some instances caused Two families to
move into one house, where previously
they would occupy two. Again IT has
been represented TO him by gentlemen
travelling over the United States, that
the panic had effected Wilmington less
than any other city, and that whilst in
several man featuring towns they had
seen whole streets If manufactures
closed, in Wilmington they had noticed
but few. Therefore he thinks that
more people come here to look for work
than have moved away, and hence our
population from emigration has not di
minished. The number Of houses he
alleges built in Wilmington each sno'
c--ding year has been as follows in
1871, 423; in 1872, 422: in 1873, 43l
in 1874, (tLe commencing Of the panic

9Th, there was a meeting Of number
of the prominent members OF the cir
cult held at Union NJ. Z. Church for the
purpose of demonstrating against the
preseut pastor and had not BishoI
scott intertered by letter requesting tht
brethern whatever was done in tht
matter to do with the p. +. and not a
the conferences, and through the grea'
res pect the brethern have for the Bish

days when the preacher will not b'
present.
