Panthers in Vermont Forests.
From the st. Adams Messenger.

The frequently reported presence Of
panthers and wild cats In Vermont's
woods may be laid primarily to the great
increase in deer. The young Nimrods
who for a generation or two have wan
dered the forests of the state in calm
security because the dreaded painter
was only a creature of pioneer days, will
now begin to realize that the hunter runs
some risk of being hunted, too, and may.

reasoning by which the lord of creation
assumes his right to scare every living
thing out of his way so long as he HIM
