with panther one day last week.
He was walking through the woods
near his home when he was attacked
from the rear by very large pam

and dealt him heavy blow with
one OF its paws, which almost
knocked him down. Prof. Sim

being unable to fight the savage
beast without a weapon, at once
took flight. He lodged in and out
among the trees for awhile until the
panther gave up the chase, and he
escaped unhurt but very much

of this place, slipped and fell OF an
icy sidewalk last Friday and frac-
tured a bone in one of her lower
lin BIS. The fracture is doubtless
painful and great hindrance to
the unfortunate sufferer but it is
not likely that serious consequences
will come from it, young and yigor-
Gus persons being generally able to
fully recover from such injuries. -
