Whitney Sees a Porcupine Story in Susquehanna County News Notes
Susquehanna County notes recount a man treed by a creature he mistook for a raccoon, then attacked by a porcupine that filled his face and hands with quills. The animal later pierced a hound’s neck and mouth, leaving the man unconscious until a search party found him. Also recalled is an elderly woman who hanged herself from an apple tree, prompting grim humor at the funeral. The column lists local events, votes, farmers institutes, a doctor’s return to practice, and various other brief items.
