An Encounter.

The boys may be interested in the de-
scription of combat in Maine as pub
lished in the Boston Journal, between a
puma and two young men who were
hunting pal tridges in the vicinity of the
Medomac Pond.
They came suddenly upon a panther,
and it would be difficult to tell whether
they or he were the most frightened.
The puma, after giving terrible growl,
slowly retreated, when one of the sports
men, Prof. A. E. Jones, of Washington,
fred at him, the shot taking effect in his
side.
This only served to infame his anger.
Turning quickly, he came with mighty
bounds straight at the sportsmen. They
had only time to fire one shot when the
animal was upon them.
With a leap he crushed Prof. Jones to
the ground, when his companion, E. B.
Stickney, with wonderful quickness,
inserted shell into his gun, and placed
the muzzle against the animals head,
discharged it and killed the animal in
Stantly.
Mr.. Jones owes his life to the nerve
and GOODNESS of his friend. He was for
tunate in escaping with only few slight
scratches on the lower limbs, and large
cash on the breast which leaves scar
he will carry to his grave.
Several farmers in the neighborhood
have lately found the mangled remains
of number of their sheep and lambs,
and this animal had probably destroyed
them. The panther measured six feet
and four inches from tip to tip, having
claws nearly two inches long.

testlhed IN very plain language that she never
thought the assassin was insane For won

her testimony, which was probably owing to
the fact that her present husband stood by her
while she was testifying.
The trial WAS temporarily interrupted by tbs
death of the wife of Juror Hobbs, which oc.
Cured on Sunday morning, Dec IS. Mrs
Hobbs was taken with stroke of apoplexy.
Word was Immediately sent to Mr.. Hobbs, and

that Judge Cox suggested that the counsel for

that Hobbs might be released from the custody
