Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     On Saturday last a son, aged five years, of Mr. Daniel Huffman, living about fifty miles north of this place, in this county, while his mother was engaged in her domestic concerns, left the house, and as she supposed, was playing near it. His absence occasioned no uneasiness until night, when his parents made a fruitless search. On Sunday morning the neighbors were alarmed, and proceeded to scour the woods in all directions. In the course of the day his remains were discovered about one and a half miles from the house. A large wolf was seen to leave the place where the child was found, who had ate the flesh upon one side of the face entirely off. From marks upon the neck and breast, it is rendered probable that the child had been attacked by the wolf and became his easy prey.
