"AmOnT the Pan,hers.s

EDITOR LEDeER:-I have one, net
a sensation, but a fact, worthy of a
mention.
The fame Of Crockett in his bear
hunting days, is taken in. BE sure
you are right then 20 ahead" was the
immortal motto OF Davy. But what
would have been the question in the
boots Of the hero Of our sketch, John
Gilmore, the bear hunter of Dead
Timber Lake, of Crittenden county.
Last week he was on his cattle trail,
armed with his Colts navy and hunt
ing knife, with his pack Of hounds,
his companion his only son, a little
boy of twelve years, Young @. q
chip Of the old block, and black gum
at that. At the mouth Of
Big Creek fresh trail was
scented, and soon drawn to q
stand, after quick brush of mile.
The game was flushed in q deep cane
jungle in group seldom found to-
gether in the'wilds Of Arkansaw. The
hunters follow close in chase. The
hounds run together and deep mouth-
ed music open. at once and in concert
of canine melody.
THEY HAVE TREED,"
and no horse can draw them from the
spot. The terror Of our forest and
breaker are up tree"
A she panther with her three year,
lings war thar, and no mistake.
A Colts navy and six balls had to
do the work. Gilmore was on hand,
unequal TO the task, as no more cart
ridges were nearer than his Hunting
Hall" by the lake-miles away.
The first shot brought down one Of
the cubs; four shots, all taking effect,
yet not fatal, entered the carcass Of
another, which held his hold. The old
hunter had but one shot LETT, and he
held this for the last emergency. AS
he had no idea, under the then "ex-
listing moment" as to who would win
he or the panther. So off with his
boots, with pistol and tomahawk in
belt, first having cut pole, he climb
ed the tree of the wounded panther,
making the ascent till he thought he
was in reach. The pole was too short,
and push and shake" was without
avail, and he was forced to leave the
game, in a death grip, where he was
with regret only equalled by a dis.
appointment to his hounds.
The third "varmint," the last of
the panther whelps, was found near
by, and the last shot felled him to the
ground; while the old mother, meas
uring near seven feet from tip to tip,
misled the pack by crossing the lows
lands Of standing food water and
making good her escape. Gilmore
packed the trophies of his fun home,
this being only a skirmish in his many
hunts, without a scratch, save from
going up a tree"
A biography of this remarkable
man is worthy of mention. A quiet,
honest and affable gentleman at his
home, surrounded by his herds; his
greatest pleasure is to entertain his
friends, salt his. herds and drive the
big bear of Arkansaw to his hole
and hollow.

COLUMBUS.
\ Republican scheme Speaker Hodge
and Governor FOster-TemperaRee

nn0 governor rOSter-le
COLUMBUS, O., January 9.-The Republi-
cans have scheme to embarrass the Demo
Gratis by offering resolution indorsing the
Pendleton civil service reform bill.
The Democratic members will have some
amendments to the resolution that will
make the Republicans wish that they had
never presented it. The debate on its
adoption will be warm and perhaps tingcd
with bit of acrmony.
For some time the attitude of Speaker
Hodge toward Governor Foster has been
the subject of remark among various mem.
bers of the House, many of them believing
that there were no reasons for the insult
ing remarks that the Speaker, on every oc-
CaSlOn, indulges with reference to roster
attitude on the temperance question. so
determined has this feeling become that
Saturday a resolution of censure was pre-
pared by one of the members from north
ern county, but after a careful count Oi
noes il was found that there was not enough
10 pass il. The document was therefore
shelved for the time. The feeling between
the rival Republican factions is growing
more bitter every day, and an upheaval
will be one of the features of the present
session of the General Assembly.
The temperance people have begun their
appeal 10y petition from Gallia, asking the
submission of prohibitory amendment on
the second Tuesday OF October next. This
sort Of thing is contagious, and from now
on steady stream of like petitions will un.
doubtedly submerge both bodies on every
day of the session until something is done.
Action on the part OF the assembly will not
stop the flow, for many voters seem to
imagine that even if q measure is defeated
they can effect some change in the wishes
Of their representatives by continually
whanging away at themr Bat it is doubt
full il the majority in the House will pay
much attention to such appeals.
