THE RIVER-WOLF.
From the Companion.
In countries where wild animals are maeh
hunted, their instinct of aelf-preeervatloh be
comes developed to a degree that often enables
them to beffle the shrewdest stratagems of
their pursuere. It seems, indeed, almost in
comprehensible how the panthers, bean and
eagles of our herder states manage to avoid
dangers which they could not petal bly know
from experience. I
The meet curious case of the kind I ever
heard of occurred a few weeks ago in the
mountains of northern Georgia.
About the middle of last winter, I heard of
a rumor that a black wolf waa haunting the
mountains at the headwaters of the Toceoa
river, and had been seen near the village ef
Morgan ton, where last year the farmers had
lest poultry and several sheep in a way they
could net account for. The season was unu
sually mild, but before the end of February
the upland! of the Bine Bldge wero visited by
a three day*' snow-storm, followed by a light
frost, and during that week the marauder was
(lacked to a point w'jaro the Toceoa river is
joined by two smaller streams: Hogan’s creek
and the "Holly Bun," Hera the doge lost his
■cent, though they ran up and down the river
for miles, and the hunters crossed the creeks
and examined every reck and bush on either
side.
If the wolf had crossed the river, it wss a
puszle what could hare become of his track,
for the snow was deep enough for a fox hunt,
and there was no thicket where any large
game could hare found a hiding place. It
looked almost as If he had been drowned in
the Toceoa.
The neighborhood, however, sres now closely
witched, till, three weeke after, a woodcutter
happened to find hit froth track in the sand of
a little creek below the mill. The man ran
to the next houso, and, after collecting all the
chase recommenced, and again
Toceoa, but this time much
track led
to the benk of the J
further up, and It seemed as if the wolf had
followed the river for hours before he coeld
find a ford to suit himself.
That was in March, when the snow had
