A countryman of the Colonsl’s, Pat
McCarthy, from away over the lake,
after tasting the Colonel’s. best, and’
taking a cursory glance at his stock of
' goods, was invited by the Colonel to
. see his live stock in the premises,
which consisted of a game cock, a
. young shoat, and the lion-panther.

‘Pshaw,’ said the Colonel, ‘that’s an

‘Then I'll go up and pat him,’

. “Well, do 30 Pat,” said the
‘nel. i
So Pat went up and commenced to
pat his new acquaintance, the lion=~
panther. Now, to those whom t
lion-panther knows, he is passably

before, and he looked on his familiari. time since, from the unconscious inhala. ty as an intrusion.
' The consequence was. that he up with

‘Tho Colonel expressed his regret at
a strong and almost overpowering odor .
of gas issued from the room. He entered, accompanied by the persons with
him, and found a journeyman in the
employ of Sauerbier, in bed, pale,gpantjing, and unconscious, as if at the point
of death.

his friend, McCarthy, into the store,
poured brandy on his wound, and some
more down his throat, the joint effects
of which seemed greatly to revive him.
He has registered a vow, however, never
to go within pawing distance of those
“furrin bastes” any mure.
