Mj"llM!t T II I U . A Struggle with a Wolf. A KKUINISCINCI OF TUB WILDERNESS. The following inciJoat, rolntod by an old lady, who Los noon a rich flourishing city spring up, as if by magical art, about the spot where hor solitary shanty ouco stood, illus trates one among tho many perils to which tho piouoors of tho far West are exposed : My husband and myself woro among the first of tho Connecticut pooplo who settled in Northern Ohio. Ho hod selected thia place (now Saudusky City) because a por tion of tho sboro of Lako Krin re minded him of his nativo home on Loug Island Hound. Accoriinanying us wore soveral other young fitmilies; but these, dreading tho rough au tumnal winda of tho lake choao their locations at a considerable distance from ours, aud upon higher ground. It was in tho spring of 1810 that wo roachod our location i and my husband being a young and athlotio man hod aoon prepared a few acros of land, and got in a orop of potatoes for our winter provisiou. He also, with tho aid of our distant neigh bora, erectod a log cabin for slid tor, ' and another for two cows, a yoke of oxen, and a few Load of sheep wu j had driven with us from rouiiHylva nia, as we came west. Lit to in the autumn, after my hns baml had harvested his corn and so cured hia fodder, ho and I turned to, and devoting our evenings to it, shelled out a quantity of it sufficient for our winter's supply of food. With this he prepared to go to the nearest mill, which was on the Yor. million River. There was then only a trail, or marked route, through the woods t and with oar slow-footed oxen it was a jouraoy of sovoral days. But, leaving me a good wood pile, and oautioniug mo to soe that the sheen wore tuuaod evory nlaht out of the reach of wolves, ha start ed away. We boa o largo mastiff a noble animal whioh my father bad given me tho day we started for our homo and Reuben (that waa my bus land's name) told mo I could not be vory lonosomo with so bravo and faithful a companion. JUut notwithstanding old Put was ono of the most intelligent aud so cial dogs I ever saw, I did fool very louesonio. It was the first time my basband and I bad ever boon separ ated sinco we were married, and the days and nights of his absonoo seem ed very long indood. liowcvor, Vut fttKi I got along vory well. The fifth day I discover ed the ground white with enow i the thick, heavy Hakes were falling fast Toward evening tho weather moder ated i the snow turning to sleet, sat urated tho surface of that on the ground, and it becoming coldor, a Hard icy crnst was formed sufBoient to bear roy weight npon it This I knew would dotaia Reuben, for with hia loaded wagon it would have been impossible for him to reach homo bo fore be bad to break bis way ahood of the team. Tboro wero settlors along tho trail, so I was not much ooncernod on bis account I hod milkod tho oowa and fed them in tho stable, aud with the help ol Put bad semired the sheep, and returning to tho honao, prooeeded to prepare my sapper, and to make myself as oomfortable as possiblo for ono more solitary night There Jging in the wide throat of 'uney several bams of fresh m ono of which I cut t for tnvoolf and the ro,. i',0 fragrance flim' of the juicy meat stoamed np through the wide chimney, and filled tho air as I perceived whenever I wont to the door. Put and I rovle hearty supper, and clearing away thothiugfl, I went to bod, while tho dog, coiling himsulf in bis usual corner upon tho hearth, was soon lost in dreams, if ono might jildjp from bis fteqitont starts, and tho naif smotuorod growls that broke from his quivoring lips. Now and then ho would start suddenly to his foot as if to pursue some iinitgi nary enrrny, and thou, awnkeno I by the motion, would, with a manner of vexation and disappointment lie ttown ftg'tin to his slumber. I om'ipod mysolf watching his mo tions by tho oiiorful blaze of my firo, till I foil nslop, nn I was droiining of Reuben when I was awakened by an agry growl of tho dog t and on easting my eyes toward the hearth, saw tlut ho bad left bis stooping plii'-o. I sprang to a sitting posture and percnived the animal with his uoso to tho crack of tho door, anil with tail cnx't and bristled back ap enred to bo gre.ttly excito I. I spoke lo him, and the tl.ig find ing I was aw, ike, nindo cagor signs to havo the door openod lo him. As I movod toward it to gratify him. I hoard pattering stops upin tho froz en snow immotliatoly know that some kind of wild animal was prowling about. I oponed the door carefully to let the dog out, and scarcely had I lifted the latch, to roconnoitro, thau Put, with another growl, wedgod his noso into tho opening and with a bound forced his way out Tho inoju had risen, and it w.is ipiite light ; and to my torror I saw tho Tormt of at lna.it half a neoro of gaunt wolves moving iu front of tho liou.ie : and how many tiviro there wero I could only judge lv tho patter ing souuils of those I coijd not sue. I elosod the djr aud pilo-l wool ng.iinst it, thou listouod to tho Bound without. Tho brave dog sprang among tho intruders, and noon a Grco battle was raging between him aud the wolve. I could bore his smothering growls as ho tore at the throat of somo ono of the howling brutes, and thou hurl ed him to a distance to grapple with another. Tho noblo follow fought with a truly horoia desperation i for I could perceive by tho sound that tho wolves instead of retreating, wore embold ened by their numbers, and all sot fiercely upon him. Yut he struggled with determined courage, and I could hour tho wolves howling with pain aud anger as thoy alternately retreat ed from aud returned to tho fight. But above all thoir cries I continue! to hoar the deep angry growling of poor old Put who, thus fiercely beset by tho dastards, seemed to be match for them alL While with beating heart aud ex cited nervoa I stood by the door, listening to this iinoipialed fight I hoard a rush of pattering foot oom ing from the direction of the stablo, and know that a fionh gang of wolves had nrrivod to tho relief of thnir kind i and now forgot all olso in my uiixiety for my noble oM rut. It wns impossible for him to with pfind all these lieieo woatuivB i and ie,'rarlless of the danger, I readied down lteulteu's ride, and throw open the door and sprang upon tho snow. As I did this 1 perceived overy foot of tho icy court was stained with blood, and at a distanco.a dark out of the disgusting brutes wore gather ed in a knot and florooly tearing at oaoh other and an object I immedi ately knew to bo my poor, bravo old dog. Without taking time to reflect up on my own clangor, 1 ran toward the spot raised tho gun, and firod. A yell of agony from two or throo of tho wolves satisfied mo that I had not wasted my bullet and then frightened by the repot and perhaps by tho flare of light that suddenly broke upon them from tho open door of the cabin, the cowardly ani mals rotroatod a niouiout from the spot leaving a number of their dead and dying comrades scattered upon the suow. Where I bad fired upon them, lay my poor dog, and dropping my gun, I ran to him, and catching the faith ful oroaturo in my arms I ran with him toward the bouse. He was ter ribly lacerated, but 1 knew by bis motious that he waa not dead. It was a race for life, for scarcely bad I turuod toward tho door, than the wolves, seoing mo retreating, rushed upon mo, growling and simnping fearfully about mo. But completely absorbed in my anxiety for my dying dog, I flo through thorn, leading portions of my dress in their bloody jaws, and reaching the door, eloood it upon them, and replaced the bar ricade of fuel against it I bud my poor Put npon tho floor and ex amined bis injuries! Poor fellow 1 ho had received bis death wonnd,nnd licking my bands, aa if in acknowl edgment of my kindness, be soon ox pired. In tho meanwhile the wolvoa, now having it all thoir own way, wpro gathered in great numbers about the Claoe. They had apparently sceutod lood of thoir follows front a diataucc, and I could hoar thorn tramping over the snow in every dirootion, while fronnent sttompU were made to force their way through tho crack beneath the door.

PA, AUGUST 1J, redVhot end uof.l they were glad to quit the spot I must have boon thus ongagod with ray flerco botiogors for several hours when I hoard a scratching sound on the roof, and thn tramping or wolves on tap ol tun chimney. I ran to tbc capacious ilro-plio, and looking up was horrifiod to pvecoivo four or Svo pairs of fierce rod evos glaring menacingly npon mo. Thn scent of the vonision bad doubtless attracted them to tho spot. Tho chimney was scarcely ton foot high and had it not hoea for tho hot om bors which filled thn firo-plnco, tho hungry brutos would havo boon up on mo l)cf )ro I had discovered thoir pvoHcnco there. What was I to do f I daro 1 not use tho fuel I had piled agaiuxt the door for fear the wolves might make an entranco through it t and yet it was necessary to keep up a hot firo or tho creatures would iksocnd the chimney npou me I in v thought of tho straw bed bonoath tho feather tick, and lost no tmio in drugging it to tho floor; and quickly ripping it opnn I drew cmt its contents, and, throw ban. If u'ih 141011 tho firo. Ani tho rlames ro.irod up the chimney 1 ; could hear tho wolves draw buck from tho boat and sinoka, an I jump again to tho roof But as tho straw had flared up and the smoke ascend ed, the creatures sprang onco more 1 upon the top of tho chimney. Thus i I kept thorn away until tho hut hand-1 fill of straw was consumed and still, I as if determined to gain nnteranoe to j tho cabin, in spito of all efforts the wolves returned tithe opening and wore about t-j "priu;? down upon tin Hourly extinguished tiro. I now h:ei to resort to the feathers, but these j not only put out tho list spark ofi tiro, but tho Hcpnt of them somud to i malio the starving brutes more fero cious than ever. My f.cirs wero uow becoming tor-! ribb'i and doupatriug of keeping tbo ' wolves longer from the Iiouho. I cist' my eyes upward tow.trd tho benniH ovoihond, determined ai a last icei t; t ) climb to thorn aud escape their j murderous jaws. As I looked up I , observed that I had till thou forgot ten my husband's squirrel gun. It! was a singlo barrel, and I know it contained only a small shot But I : remembered thn effect of tho ritle upon tho cowardly animals mid I hoHd to scare them from tho chim ney with this weapon. SScorccly had the idea occurred to ma thau I acted upon it; and cocking tho guu I hold , it up tho chtrunoy and hred. The piece was more heavily loaded tlian I suspeoUid. or perhaps tho charge had boon a long time in it and with a loud report it fell from my hands among tho ashes. At tho insUut 1 hoared a growl of pain, then a des perate scratching and struggling upon tho chimney, and thou thn body of a huge brindled wolf full heavily on tho hearth at tny feet and rollod upon tho floor. My first thought was to recover tho gun, and with tho breech of it to batter out 1 tho brains of tho still panting ei oa-1 tnro. But seeing tha butcher-knife , .1:11 : 1 1 nbllJ KUCMIU' IU ltll.9 VtJUItOU Willi ir-l! which I hod cut tho steaks for h i; or, I snatched it an I turned to whoro I thought tho wolf was lying. Hut tho animal had ouly boon stun ned by tho fall, and roeovniing, had leaped to the room. I was uow alone anl shut up with a savage boost in 1 a little space marcel y ton feet square. ! I was about to drop the knife, aud , attempt to roach tho boams overhead wheu the wolf, but slightly wounded 1 andontii ely recovered from tho fright of his hudduu decent, sprang upon ' mo. His rod cyo balls trlurod fero-i ciously, and with extended jaws, from which gouts of blood woro dripping, i ho was upon. 1110. I felt his hot ' breath upon my faoo aud then bis fangs close 1 with a burning, tearing sensation upon roy Ihxoiu I waa frantic with terror aud pain, and know not what I did. Only 1 havo a consciousness of making, in my des perate strugglo with a monster tliot was at my vitals, more than human efforts I struck with my knife, aud wrestled with maddened energy. I havo a faint impression of this, am! that I fell powerless to the Door, and exporienood a sensation as of streams of boiling water over my bosom, nock and faoo no more. When I came to myself I was lying npon tho bed; and lloutan, sUnding over mo, was battling my face, while the stains of blood wore upon his hands, upon the bod clothes, tho floor, and by the hoarth; and thoro whrn porr Putnam, my foarloss dog, used to lio, wns strotohod tho mangled bodv of tho huge gaunt wolf. This Inst sight recalled the terrible evont of tho past night, and recover ing my voice, 1 stretched forth my arms, and twining them around my dear husband's neck drew his faoo to mine, and askod biru how J had been rescued from my farooious assailants. Ho said be bad toiled - all night through the snow to reach horao,and as day was breaking came in sight of blood aud tho dead bodies of wolves Ncattcrod bbout. Ho rushed to the door and called roe. No reply was roado, and exerting all bis strength ho at last snocooded in breaking down the door and entered the cabin.

Tho man Titnmons was U'.l years old, and was married the day beforo his death. It seems flint lie got soniewhut liillarioiis on hour and ruin, and under tho cxeitonmid of those peculiarly exhilarating bovorages ho rather ovordid liinirMlf. However, ho and his wif.i wont to bod about l'i o'clock mid-night and about 3 o'clock next morning he arose to get somo drink. Ho woi.t to tho pump in the room adjoining bh.I drank frooly of cold water On returning to boil lie complained of a vory hovero pain in bis slomai.h and bo.vols.

An examination of the stomach showed tlmt on the inside thoro had been nn ulcer, which had nearly oaten through thn en clostirn, und no doubt facilitated the bunding which caused death. Perhaps the rosult would have boon tliu samo had tho man drank an equal amount of wator or anything olso besides beer and rum. But tho frequent and excessive use of the two latter beverages probably oatisud tho ulcer. Others may have known or board of similar cases before, but, we never did The physicians con sider it a very peculiar iiiHtanco, and worth recording as of considerable public interest. iir A'. If.
