| Last Thursday night, between 10 and II
o'clock, Mrs. Reuben Treworgy, who lives
| on the Surry road. was startled by yelp-
| ing and whining around the barn which
| she supposed was made by stray dog
seeking shelter. The next morning Mr..
| Treworgy discovered space nearly three
| feet square on the back OF the barn de-
spoiled OF shingles, and the end OF a
board, quite three inches square, bitten
off. All this, he thinks, must have been
| the work OF some ferocious wild animal,
apparently trying to get at the COW in
| the barn. The animals tracks seemed too
| small for those of bear, and too large
| for those of wolf. The impression is
that it was loup-cervier, or Canadian
| lynx. A neig bbor, who was up caring for
a sick child, also heard the animals cries.
and was greatly disturbed. No trace of
| the strange creature has since been seen.
