A WOLF STORY.—A friend- from Wetzel
county,
_Virginia, has communicated AD the
Editor of the Richmond Daily Dispatch an in
teresting account of a rather remarkable wolf,
who hasmade that region of country the
theatre of his exploits. He made t:_is.first ap
pearance in Wetzel some • four years ago,
and has ever since that time been constantly
increasing and enlarging the of his ac
quaintance., 11useerned to possess some fas
cinations of manner unusual in a_ wolf, for
he'managed to ingratiate himself so thorough
ly with the dogs of the neighborhood, that
they, became his associates and friend's, and
Ull'jcigged on together ,on the most intimate
and confidential terms. His influence over
his natural enemies was- very great, and- they
soon began to look up to ,him as their leader
and Master. So long as they/ manifested a
kindly and loyal spirit, he condescended to
„
be good humored and friendly with them; but
so soon as they became peevish or discon-,
tented, a simple clinch of, his jaws, crush
ing them through the. body, and 'producing
-instant .death, imbued their companions with
-a t thorough conviction of the value of cheer
, fulness and contentment. This 'formidable
animal seemed to regard it as a perfect pas
-tithe to be pursued by the largest pack of
hounds, 'and by bull dogs, cur -dogs,- and all
the rest of dog kind. -The hunters of Wetzel,
hoWever; •inspired by 'an offered reward of
$290, organized themselves under the eorn
mend of an experienced leader, and commen
ced' regular campaign against hie wolfship,
'in the month of. December last. ,The cam
paign lasted thirty days, and was kept up
amidst the intense cold of that region,, the
,assailants suffer much from ,frost arid, the
want of food. -The wolf, however success=
-fully defied- their attack, and, in fact, ap
pearedyto, hold them in so little fear,- that he
-contrived, luring the chase, to pay a visit' to
-the house of a farmer, -with 'whose dog he had,
on a .fcirrrier- oecasion,- forrned'an agreeable
•
-acquaintance. -His social impulses, however,"
_proved his ruin, for the master of the dag re
'calved hint most inhospitably . 'with a shot
from a rifie;and on his retiring_ indi,gpantly
tea. neighboring forest, he unluckily eneptin
• tered a,,Nimrod, who' gave' him his 'death
• 'wound,- The destruction of this wolf has
•cansed great rejoicing in Wetzel. .ceunly,
