WOLF FIGHT,-About fortnight ago n young
man named VIM. Jackson, in one of the back set
dement's, was returning from the woods, where he
had spent part Of the day shooting pigeons Wher
within about mile OF home he heard a cracking ir
the underwood behind him, and turning to learn the
of the noise, he beheld three enormous wolves
coming directly towards him. He saw no chance
of escape and determined to fight out as his only
hope of safety. He threw down his game, placed
his back against large tree and silently awaited the
attack Of the ferocious animals. The wolves ap
preached and walked round him two or three times
at short distance, but seeing chance of attack
behind, they advanced in front.


When they we're within few feet, he levelled his
gun and fired the two barrels in succession, and
two Of the wolves fell MORALLY wounded; the third
sprang at him, and was saluted on the head with q
stunning blow from the butt end of the piece bu
the animal, recovering, seized the young man by
the leg and both fell to the ground together in q
deadly struggle, in which the wolf tore his antago.
mist severely in different parts Of the body. Feel.
ing himself growing weak from loss Of blood, the
youth with some difficulty drew a knife from his
pocket, made one desperate plunge at the savage
ima and Immediately fell exhausted and senseless
at the foot Of the tree awfuy mangled in the con.
hict and covered with blood.


When consciousness returned, the sight of his
three enemies lying dead beside him awakened his
wandering the reality, and his almost mi
raculous escape from death. His knife he found
sticking firmly to the handle in the heart of his laes
foe.


With great difficulty he reached home and alarm
ed his friends, who repaired to the spot with lights
and brought home the skins Of the dead wolves al
trophies Of what we may Justly call an extraordina
| ry exploit. The hero Of the fight (as we may cal
him) has nearly recovered from his wounds, al.
though he will bear to his grave the broad scars
| his triumphant and deadly struggle with the three
wolyss.-BytO,or (Cenadd) Gazette.
