A Wild-Cat Whips Two Dogs.

On Wednesday night last, about midnight, the oak tree on Kirby street, situated on the suburb of the town, was the scene of a terrible fight between a wild-cat and two dogs. The tiger-like growls of the cat made it appear more like a Bengal than anything else. Alter a ten minutes struggle, the cat ran up the tree, but not to stay, for it immediately returned to the conflict, and fought with more desperation than ever. Just at this moment a party appeared on the scene and the cat made its exit. Judging from the rapid disappearance of the cat, and the severe wounds the dogs presented, we imagined the dogs had got the woist of it.— Palatka (Fla.) Herald.
