Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Last Thursday morning a creature was observed to breakthrough a window of a store-house in this city, (New York) and jumped into the street, where was suddenly a number of spectators, who followed it, till it jumped over several high fences; and at last went between two houses, where they shot it. Many has had the curiosity to view it, and say it was 7 foot long, most of them say it was a Panther, but whence it came, or how it got into the store-house, we are at a loss to know.
