DIR. w. Fl. Grimm, and Mr.. d.
r. Wilkinson, of Beaver Falls, Pa
have been here for week past, on a
deer hunting expedition They have
had poor success thus far but have the
grit to stick to it until they get deer.
The Doctor, on Monday, Stayed a
peculiar specimen of red fox, making
most brilliant shot. 1t is we believe,
known as the "short haired" species,
at least the hair are quite short, and
the tail instead of being long and
bushy, more closely resembles
that of rat. # is, to sav the least,
queer specimen, and we hope the
Doctor will have il seut to some emf,
nent taxidermst aud have it "set up"
or, If he don't feel inclined to do that
we'll let him off if he will "set 'em up"
to the boys before leaving. P. S.
Upon closer examination the ami NAL
is thought, by experts to be closely
allied to the canine race. LATER. -
Since the above was put in type these
gentlemen have returned home, having
killed fne buck fawn. They made
many friends while here who will
warmly Welcome them back at any
time.
Last Friday two brothers named
Shott went hunting for deer near their
fathers residence about two miles
from Tylersburg. The older brother
went to the "crossing." while the
younger followed the trail to drive the
deer in. Either the deer had crossed
before the one brother arrived at the
"crnssing," or else he did not see it,
, tor when his brother came along on
the trail he slipped and fell, and the
older brother mistaking him for the
deer fred away. sending the ball
nearly through his right thigh. DR..
Mccormick. of TyIersburg was sum
moned also DR.. Blaine. The ball
was found on the under side Of the leg
and extracted by the doctors, who also
|, found that the bone was uninjured as
well as the blood vessels, 81 the mans
: deliverance from such close call was
very lucky. AS DR.. Blaine rode
through town on his way home nearly
every one was asking "who was shot,
and who shot him p The Doctors only
reply was, "Shott shot Shott."
