They said they had captured the beast some months ago in the province of Ngan-hwai The teeth and the bones of the head wore all complete, and in their places. Some little boys were with me; as they had read that the tiger and ost are of the same family, they after returning home caught the cat, and having examined the mouth were much struck by the resemblance, Let any one look at the mouth of a cat, and notice how the upper and under pairs of take glide past each other with the more mente of the jawr, and then suppose the tuska to be inc eared in size U they are as long as a man's fore finger, and though considerably thicker at the base than a man's finger, yet tapering up till they are sharp as a needle at the point,--with the other teeth and the jaws enlarged in pro portion, and he will have a very fair idea of the head which I encountered, tre mendous still in death".

The other youth grew up a most exemplary person, and was much beloved by everybody. A few mornings ago, however, he was found to be stained returned some days ago from a trip with blood; while his adopted father lay dead upon the floor with a ghastly cut through some parts of the province of across his throat.
