Something new in natural history was
discovered Sunday by Lyman Flint while
he was beehunting in W. w. jones' pas
ture at Braintree Branch. As he drew
near clump of brakes, he perceived that
some kind of frolic was in progress and
thought for a moment that he had hap
pened on a family of young foxes at
play. This idea was abandoned, how
ever, when gray animal the size OF
shepherd dog emerged from the brakes
and leaped from the ground to the trunk
Of tree, striking it at a spot higher
than a mans head. A black animal OF
the same species left the brakes next and
sat down with its back impolitely turned
to Mr.. Flint, who, being unarined, de-
handed no apologies and stood not on
the order of his going when he saw three
Junior members Of the tribe parting the
brakes and appearing in view. Having
secured gun and ammunition from Jo-
seph Carpenters, Mr.. Flint returned for
further investigation and classification, II
possible, OF this peculiar fauna, but the
five were gone, leaving few tracks and
some Wisps Of gray hair to prove that
their observer had not been dreaming.
The next day be made another unsuccess-
full search and measured the distance he
stood from the clump of brakes to learn
that he was within % rods of the strange
creatures, whose pelts ought to grace the
Smithsonian institution. Let the Mighty
Hunter be summoned.
