R. G. Whitesides had a yearling which
was bitten by mad dog. On the same
day the same dog also bit COW and q
goat belonging to Mr.. Brown, and later
in the day bit a gentleman in the same
neighborhood, making q slight incision
in the forearm. The yearling Of Mr..
Whitesides showed symptoms of hy-
drophobia in q month after it was bit
ten, and lived only four days after the
symptoms first appeared. Mr.. Browns
animals also died of hydrophobia on
the fourth day after it appeared.
The gentleman who was, bitten was pro-
tected, to some extent, by his clothing,
though Immediately after being bitten be
resorted to the best known remedies. 1t
is to be hoped he will escape the dread
full malady. About thirty dogs in that

killed.
Lancaster Ledger: Mr.. J. F. Kenning-
ton, while out hunting on Flat Creek, in
this county, one day last week, shot and
killed what some suppose to be a pan
ther. His dogs chased him for several
miles in circle, when the animal final
ly came in gun.shot distance. His weight
was about seventy-fve pounds. His
stomach when opened was found to con-
tain two squirrel heads and seven feet.
If it was panther, how he came to be in
this section of the country caunot be so
satisfactory explained. But for his enor-
nous size we would class him as wild
cat, numbers of which inhabit the swamps
of the CatRwba River, but we have never
heard of one weighing over forty pounds.
