Mr. Levi Wesner of Ruscombmanor township, Berks county, shot a large Prairie Wolf on the 23d ult. The Wolf had been prowling about the neighborhood for the last three months and quite a number of sportsmen from Reading and elsewhere tried to capture him but could not succeed. On the 23d ult., Mr. Wesner, in company with John Wesner, Daniel Gouger, George Wesner, Thos. Roberts and Mark Wesner, started him up near Berkley, and after a chase of about half an hour he was shot by Mr. Levi Wesner, near Tuckerton Station, on the East Pa. R.R. The wolf was a very large one of the kind.
