A NOVEL ENCOUNTER. PHOTO-ETCHING FROM AN ORIGINAL PAINTING FRANK T. MERRILL. Mr. Merrill, an artist of remarkably diversified talent, is acknowledged to be an expert animalpainter; and lifelike indeed are the creatures which emanate from his hand. In this picture, apparently, the animals, surprised at their strange encounter, are on the vergeof a disagreement as to which shall have the right of way. It would be difficult to tell whetherthe moose, armed with sharp hoofs and spreading antlers, or the bear, with his knife-like claws andteeth, will come off victorious, for When Greeks joined Greeks, then was the tug of war.
