Isaac S. Horton was a farmer, and occasionally a hunter, "frequently taking his rifle," as he says, and going into the woods not far from his house, he would knock down a deer or two and return home by breakfast time. One morning in June, some forty years ago, he took his gun and went out into the woods, about half a mile from his house, when a fine buck appeared before him and down he went. While reloading his gun he heard a wolf howl, and going a little further he brought him down also. On returning to the place where he shot the buck, behold, a huge panther had taken possession of the buck, and was regaling himself by licking up the blood and preparing to feast upon the carcass. He stood still for some minutes, looking at the panther, thinking it rather cruel to kill him before he had a chance to take his fill of his much coveted food. But at length the panther saw him and showed signs of fight, and he then put a ball through his brain. On going home for his team, he found he had been gone only a little over an hour.

Mr. Horton took up land in a dense wilderness, several miles from any inhabitant, cleared it up, and then bought several other farms and assisted in clearing them up. He was a man of strong constitution, and lived to a good old age, dying at his old homestead, about two miles from Ghent meeting house, in Sheshequin, Pa.
