appeared to be asleep, but close inspection
would show you that the muscles at the tip
OF his nose were in state of rapid aud con-

tho nostrils, not the least, but an unceasing
vibration of the small muscles terminating
the organ, reminding me strongly OF a captive
rabbit nOsing at the wires of his hutch.

Hunter Overpowered After severe
Struggle and Narrowly Escaping Death.
Henry Decker aud John House arrived at
Lords Valley, Pa, few days ago, from Tron.
ton, N. j., expecting TO remain several days TO
fish and hunt At daybrcak they took their
guns and fishing tackle and started for Bloom
ing Grove pond, three miles distant While
passing through the woods Decker separated
from House, being called away by the barking
OF his dog, which he supposed was after rab.
bit or fox House continued on, and soon
reached the pond. lie waited over an hour
for his comrades arrival, and then started
back TO where they had separated. He halloed
repeatedly, but received no response. He
thon followed the tracks in the snow,
aud, after going nearly mile, discovered
spots of blood. His first thought WAS
that Decker had been wounded by
the accidental discharge OF his gun As he
went on, the blood spots upon tue snow be-
oamo thicker, aud near a cluster of bushes
there were indications that tho hunter had
encountered something, for the snow was
trodden for q considerable distance. House
called out again, and soon there came feeble
response, which was recognized as the voice
OF Decker. House hurried on, and as he was
about 10 enter deep ravine he saw the bushes
move. Looking closer he saw a large gray
eagle perched upon Deckor's breast and peck
Ing him in tho face. House approached 10
within shooting distance and fired, killing
the eagle instantly. lie hurried to where
Decker lay and found him unconscious aud
bleeding. When he had gained consciousness
he said that he did not SEQ tho eagle until it
had descended and fastened its sharp claws
into his back. Being frightened, ho dropped
his gun into the snow. lie fought the eagle
as best he could, but soon became SO weak
from loss Of blood, aud suffering such intense
pain, that no fell unconscious. His body aud
IA,
was torn into shreds. He was assisted back to
the valley. The eagle was the largest one
ever killed in this section, measuring nearly
eight feet from tip to tip of wings.
