Harvest is over and bountiful crop has
been saved. The reaper is at rest and the
shrill whistle Of the traction engine is heard
on every hand. Many are having their grain
threshed out and are hauling it away. The
yield is about sixteen bushel per acre from
stalk ground, but the quality is very fine.
The corn crop is still improving nicely, aud
large yield is hoped for. The early potatoes
are fine.

A Woman's Heroic Combat.


By killing huge catamount, single
handed, on Friday, Mrs. Minnie Hen
ringer, of Laurel Run, Pa, has become
the heroine of the hour. The Hen
Ringers live in a very remote place
among the mountains, which abound in
large game and ferocious wild animals.
During the past week Mrs. Henninger
has missed several lambs from her flock.
Two of the lambs she found terribly
mutilated in the woods. She suspect
ed the marauders on domestic animals
were catamounts. Friday afternoon
she posted herself in an inclosure to
watch where sheep were feeding. The
brave woman armed herself only with
q woman's most formidable weapon-a
broomstick-madeo out ofgreen hickory,
which was tough and strong.
Mrs. Henninger, who had secrcted
herself near the gate of field, had
been seated only about an hour when
she heard stealthy tread in the bushes.
Looking around she beheld large cat
amount in the act Of springing over the
gate.
For time the woman was too fright
ened to move. But when the cata-
mount, after Selling a lamb, had turned
TO leave the field Mrs. Hepninger made
battle with the thieving beast.
When confronted by the brave WON
an the catamount dropped the lamb and
crouched closely to the ground. Twenty
five feet was the distance separating the
two, but, undaun.ed, Mrs. Henninger
with raised stick approached the huge
mountain cat, which was ready to
spring upon her. The animal then
made a ferocious spring toward her.
It's mouth was wide open and its 1.-THE
body described beautiful semi-circ'e
in the air. The dauntless Mrs. Her,
ninger braced herself, and with Ter
hickory broom-handle poised lance
like, she thrust the end OF the stick in
to the catamount's open mouth and
buried the end deep in its throat. The
force of the impact knocked Mrs.
Henninger down, hut she retained hold
of her weapon, and, after hastily rising
to her feet, made repeated thrusts with
the stout stick in the catamounts
throat. Alter long struggle she sue
ceeded in killing the animal.
After her remarkable victory, from
winch she emerged with only few
slight scratches and damaged gown,
Mrs. Henninger didn't faint, but she
dragged her vanquished foe home with
her. On the return of her husband the
pelt was carefully removed. This
plucly woman is of medium height
and rather slender form, but she has
great courage, and her muscles are like
steel
Several weeks ago, late at night,
Mrs. Henninger heard hen with
brood Of chickens making great noise.
She ran with light, and, seeing
weasel devouring one of the little
chicks, she seized the animal and choll
cd it to death, but not before she was
badly bitten on the hands and arms.
