Ar,o-,,g+5va T1roee. NTor5or,
a Press representative was shown by Miss
Tannie Rogero a very old relic in the
shape of a money box which was carried
in the pocket. 1t is the property of Miss
Josefa Papy, and belonged to her father
who obtained it when quite a young man.
1t is cut out of a solid piece of rosewood,
and is about four inches long by two in
width, and one and a half deep. Until re-
Gently it had remained undisturbed in Miss
Papy'S trunk for over sixty years. AS Miss
Papy only lacks a year of being a hun
dred, it is certain that the box has been in
the possession of father and daughter for
at least one hundred and forty years.

Tuesday night a colored man from the
Porters Cove section came into B. c.
Lanning's gun shop and narrated some
startling not to say hair-lifting stories
concerning a huge panther whose un-
earthly screams cause the surrounding
country to echo and re-echo near the
mans abode when night comes on and
the terrible beast sallies forth from his
lair in search of prey Not a few hogs,
calves and in deed grown cattle have mys-
teriously disappeared and nothing seen of
them until their bleached bones would be
found months afterward showing evil
dences of having been caught by some
thing, torn to pieces and devoured. The
! colored man in question has on several oc-
/. casions barely escaped meeting this vi
] cious animal and has often been near
/ enough to his partnership to distinctly
/ hear the low, blood-curdling growl that
concludes the screams of this particular
| species of dread monsters of the forest.
