the Hyde Peril station one night last
week, he was surprised in a piece of
woods which leads from the station to
the old saw mill property by a huge
lynx that crossed the road in front of
him. The boy as eaturally would be
the case soon ran home being badly
frightened. Where the lynx was seen
was on lot 26, con. 2, near some wild
and weird looking' ravines which verge
on the River Thames. This anima,1

be termed is something terrifying. A
