Exciting and Dangerous Encounter with two Wild-Cats Mr. R. D. Simmons called at our office for the purpose of showing us a remarkable specimen of a wild animal which he had shot and captured a few days since, while on a hunting excursion, helow this city about 30 miles, near Ilerculaneum. It was of the panther species, and measured in body 2J- feet long, and 20 inches high. It had a short, stumpy tail, six inches in length, black and white spotted ears, grayish hair, and large limbs, to which was attached long claws, of wonderful polish and sharpness. The details of the capture of this ferocious native of the forest are thus narrated by Mr. Simmons: . ' He was armed with a bouble-barreled shotgun, one of the barrels of which was useless. Not dreaming for an instant of meeting such formidable game, he was sauntering leisurely along the Autumn woods, depending upon a brace of hounds to rouse any game that might be in reach. Suddenly the deep bay of one of the dogs broke the silence of the forest, and was soon joined bv the answering voice of the other. Mr. Simmons quickened his steps in the direction of the hounds, expecting to find a coon, possum or squirrel the object of his dogs' alarm. As he came in sight and glanced upward, he observed, at a height of about forty feet from the ground, lying along a limb of an oak tree, an animal which lie at first supposed was a domestic cat. lie stood, doubtingly, watching its movements for a short period, and then concluded to try the effect of a load of shot in its body, at all events. Simultaneously with the report of the gun, which reverberated far and wide throutrh the woods, down tumbled

thi game, which no sooner had struck the ground than both hounds attacked it with great courage. The charge of shot had lodged in its side, and

its fall had also broken its back, yet its natural strength and ferocity were so great that in a moment or two both dogs quit the contest, and came cowardly and crouchingly to their master's feet. . Mr. Simmons, while the tight was raging, had been re-loading his gun, and when ready, fired another charge into the animal's body, which proved a death-shot. He now went forward, and was surprised to behold the size and character of the animal that lay dead at his feet. As he was re-loading, and while his dogs were taking fresh courage and smelling arouml their once powerful enemy, he was startled by a crash in the leaves and dry brush in front of him, and looking up beheld, at the distance of about thirty feet, another animal, which he at once thought to be the mate of the female he had killed. It was crouching as if ready to make a spring, while its tail was lashing the ground behind, its hair erect on its back, and its eyes flashing with rage. The situation of Mr. S. was very critical. He knew his dogs were worthless against, such a foe, nnd he felt certain thai a charge from his shot-gun, instead of relieving him of his enemy, would but aggravate its wrath and render the contest one of still greater desperation and danger. Excepting the putting on of the cap, his gun was loaded. As he lifted up the but of the piece to do this, the animal made a huge bound, and alighted .within 15 feet of where he stood. The dogs had fled. At this moment Mr. S. remembered the popular belief, that the only way to conquer a ferocious beast was to look it full in the eyes, and accordingly returned the fixed gaze of his enemy with all the resolution he could command. He then slowly stooped down, and seizing the dead wild-cat by one its legs, began a slow and deliberate retreat, not quitting for an instant his gaze, and depending solely upon his feet to guide him to an open field which lay at a short distance. The male wild-cat followed, inch by inch, maintaining, however, a respectful, distance, and awed, as it seemed, by the superior look of Mr. S. The skirt of the wood reached, the animal pursued no further, and the hunter took his way with a brisker step and lighter lie-art for home. We suggest a grand hunt for this remaining wild-cat of the Missouri woods. Can't we have something after the fashion of the Old Germany boar-hunt. St. Louis Democrat. Frnin the Boston Republic. How Ben Got Cured. A friend of ours, whom we will call Ben, is one of the most enthusiastic individuals in regard to females we ever knew. Ben was married to a lovely young woman about a year ago, but before he was married was very nearly the wildest young fellow imaginable. Marriage has sobered him clown some. He was always most blissfully startled by a pretty female foot, and indulged himself in a variety of innocent superstitions, such as "the foot is the index of the soul;" and "a well turned ancle is prima facie evidence of general anatomical symmetries." Yesterday, coming up Main street in the rain, just in front of him walked two very neatly dressed women, shielded by an umbrella, and one of them careful of her skirts and embroideries, revealed enough of a charming foot and rounded ancle to set Ben half mad with curiosity to know the fair damsel who was the possessor thereof. Ben followed closely on up the

street, occasionally striking a paralytic attitude, as more or less of the before, mentioned foot and uncle were revealed. They went into several stores, but he modestly stood without, hoping to catch a glimpse of a countenance delieiously corresponding with that blessed foot. But as they came out, the envious umbrella would be raised, and Ben followed on, unsatisfied in his pursuit. So often had he tried to see her face, and so often had he been baulked, that his determination was aroused, and he vowed to see it or perish. He walked in front of them at their side and in every position, but whatever station he took there was that infernal umbrella intervening like a cotton rampart, between, and his feelings were not in the least soothed bv hearing an occasional unmistakable titter from behind the cotton hippodrome. '-By Heavens they're laughing at me," exclaimed he. Now for a bold stroke. He then attempted lo cross suddenly before them on a crosswalk slippery with mud, and thus brush away the umbrella". He did it but horror of horrors! just as he did it, he slipped on the smoth stones and measured his full length in the mud. Gazing lugubriously up,

he saw four eves laughing clown at him. and two i

red mouths shrieking with laughter. He looked at that ancle, followed it up and before him stood, afmost dying with laughter whom do

you think, reader? why, his own wife. Ben was picked up by his wife and her friend, sundry white handkerchiefs were in busy operation for a few minutes, a hack was called, and in about an hour our unfortunate friend appeared on Main street, with "his other clothes." He told us in a whisper that he never knew his wife had such pretty underpining before, and confidentially added, "77 'lend to it hereafter." Ben is perfectly stolid on the subject of other folks' ancles, and says he is proprietor of the only pair himself that ever caused him any particular uneasiness.

A thing unheard of before. A gentleman related to us yesterday one of the most inexplicable facts that ever occurred. If our informant were not entirely above all suspicion as a man of honor,

we should hesitate to repeat the story so strange, so utterly anomalous does it appear to us. It is very well known among persons of any considerable experience in life, that men and women are often deceived in matrimonial transactions and speculations. Who has noX known the

a cool hundred thousand, "brought short up,"

with a piece of poor land, a dozen negroes, and perhaps a usurious note for five or six hundred? And, per contra, who has not seen the penniless beauty catch a dashing fellow, reputed to possess thousands in certain indefinitely described stocks and plantations, but whose property proved to be only a fine suit of clothes and a galvanized watch and chain. So we go. Men and women have humbugged one another since "Adam delved and Eve span;" and so they will continue to do, (more or less, in every community,) until the world turns up side down. But to the narrative of how our North Carolina friend was deceived. We shall give the words as nearly as we can of the friend who related the facts to us. We were conversing on men and things in the old North State of which both ourselves and friend are natives when he happened to remember an old school

mate, a "high" fellow on fun, knowing on horses, and a iudire of fox hounds.

"What has become," we asked, "of Frank II ?" Our friend's face grew sad at the mention of the name. "Have you never heard," he said, "of Frank's remarkable marriage?" "Never," we replied. "Well, sir, he married his wife is a beautiful,

accomplished, lovely woman, but"

But what"

"Sir," Mrs. JI was reputed, before the marriage, to be worth just fifteen thousand dollars. She was the only daughter of a widowed mother. Her friends when asked arid her mother, too always said that it was fifteen thousand dollars. Of course it was believed" "Certainly, all that sort of thing is always believed!" . "Well, when they were married, and Frank

come to count the money "He no doubt found itfifteen hundred!" "By no means; the old lady had the,, keeping of the young lady's income; a good deal of the money was hoarded, and when it was all actually counted.it was ascertained that Mrs. H had, instead of fifteen, twenty-two thousand dollars a clear gain of seven thousand to Frank! i Here our friend wiped his face slowly, and swore as he finished the recital, that he believed "that no such case had ever happened out of North Carolina!" Montgomery (Ala.) Mail. - The Sight of Birds. Pigeons find out newlysown fields immediately, and will frequently go several miles to a field the very first morning after it is sown. Wild ducks, that feed at night, are equally quick in finding their food; and in this case I would be glad to know what sense they employ. The red deer invariably knows when the shepherd's patch of grain is fit for his food, and will frequently come down in such numbers as to eat up the entire crop in a single night. The carrier-pigeon finds its way home, take it what distance, and any way covered up, you will. Toss it up in the air, and, after circling for a few moments, it adopts its line of flight, without hesitation, and without mistake. Aubudon furnishes an instance of the exercise of this faculty, in his description of the razor-bill : "The instinct or sagacity which enables the razor-bills, after being scattered in all directions, in quest of food, during the long night, often at great distance from each other, to congregate towards morning, previously to their alighting on a spot to rest, has appeared to me truly wonderful, and I have been tempted to believe that their place of rendezvous has been agreed upon the evening before." Man probably surpasses birds in the extent of vision, as much as a bird surpasses man in sharpness. Ross, in his voyage to Baffin's Bay, proved that a man, under favorable circumstances, could see over the surface of the sea, one hundred and fifty miles. It is not probable that any animal can equal this in extent.' In sharpness of sight on the other hand, birds greatly excel us. The

eagle, soaring at such a height that he seems a

mere speck, sees the grouse walking in the hea

ther, which it so closely resembles in color, as

reauiiy to escape the sportman s eye. Schmidt threw to a considerable distance from a thrush a number of beetles, of a pale, gray color, which the unassisted human eye failed to detect, yet the bird observed them immediately. Many birds

readily perceive insects on branches wlii-re the sharpest sighted person could detect nothing.
