ENCOUNTER WITH A PANTHER.

On Monday last two yonng men while
hunting TO- cartridges In the vicinity OF
OF the Medomac Pond, near Washington,
came suddenly face to face with one OF the
most savage and ferocious animals Of the
northern woods, namely, a puma or North
American panther. 1t was hard to tell
which was the most frightened, the sports
men or the animal.
The panther after giving vent to terri
BILE growl slowly retreated when one OF
the sportsmen, Prof A. Jones, a resident
OF Washington, raised his gun and dis
charged 1t at the animal, the shot taking
effect in its side. This only served to In
flame his anger. Turning quickly he came
with mighty bounds straight toward the
sportsmen. They had only time to fire
one shot when the animal was upon them.
With leap he crushed Prof. Jones to
the ground, when his companion, +. B.
Stickney, an ameteur sportsman Of Hal
lowell, Me-, with wonderful quickness in
serted a shell into his gun, and placing
the muzzle against the animals head, dis
charged with deadly effect, killing the an
imal instantly.
Without doubt, Mr.. Jones owes his life
to the GOODNESS and nerve Of his friend,
having fortunately escaped with a few
scrat ches on the lower limbs and large
cash in his breast, which will leave scar
that he will carry to his grave. A num-
Der of the trainers Of this neigborhOod,
have lately found the mangled remains OF
several OF their sheep and lambs. That
probably was the animal which destroyed
them. The panther measured six feet four
inches from tip to tip having claws nearly
two inches long.-Argas.

REVOLUTIONARY RELICs.-Colonel Nor
row. OF Mich, has a curiosity in the shape
Of pair of drumsticks which have a un-
ique and wonderful history. They were
found By the side o. British drummer at
the battle OF Saratoga in III, and were
handed over 10 a drummer in the Contin-
entail army by whom they were used dur
ing the remainder ofthe revolutionary war.
A son OF the American owner was a drum
mer in the war of 1872, and was with
General Jackson in New Orleans. A grand
son used the sticks in the Mexican war,
and a great-grandson carried them at the
head of the famous Iron Brigade in the
review at Washington at the close OF the
war of the rebellion.
