On the evening Of the 10Th inst, Mr.
Granville Herrick was going from West
Poland TO his home in Poland Corner. when
passing through piece Of woods about half
e mile long, near the Promised land, SO
called, he heard the cries OF some Wild animal,
to which however he paid no particular a,,en-
ton, until suddenly the strange animal sprang
from a tree directly on 10 Mr. Herricks
back. He being a very athletic man sue
ceeded in striking the beas, very heavy
blow with an axe tina, he fortunately had with
him, which caused the savage animal TO
loosen his hold. Mr.. II. turned TO run, when
he was seized by the boot, which in the strug-
gle he pulled from his foot. Mr. II. then
succeeded in getting in another well directed
blow with a stone, having lost his axe in the
melee. This caused a cessation of hos,ilities,
| and Mr.. II. ran for Mr.. T.. Morton's; but
not succeeding in arousing anyone there, he
went about half mile farther to the house Of
Mr.. J. W. Morse, the veteran hunter and
trapper, and together they went back to the
scene of the conflict. The animal soon
showed himself, when Morse gave him a
charge Of heavy shot which caused him to re-
tire TO the swamp with fearful yells. Mr..
Morse, who is hunter of large experience,
pronounced it an American panther or "Indi-
an Devil" as some call i, and thinks Mr..
Herrick's escape was providential.
