Several weeks ago, iu the neigh borhood of Ilettenshaw, In this Co., a retnarable bear hunt occurred. It d*pear* that Dr. Stanly, while on a wisftbe Hettenshaw, expressed an earnest desire to go bear hunting, and accordingly, oae morning he started, in comnany with Greeue French, Geo. Burgess and Jo Light foot. Arriving at a thicket, the dogs gave notice of their near ap proach to a bear, and the part 7 de cided to statiou themselves at cer tain points and let the dogs go in and drive the bear out. This was done ; but the doctor becoming im patient, entered the thicket him self. The heavv uudergrowth made his progress slow, but he fought bis way ahead until he came to a fallen (see lying in a little gulch. Help ing Aamself along by the limbs he arrive Cot the upper end just iu time to be confronted by a huge grizzly bear. Betrea t was impossi ble, as it had been with the utmost difficulty that the doetor had ad vanced so far ; there was o tree in convenient distance, and as the grizzly showed fight, there was uoth ing left for him to do, but shoot. tTsfeisg deliberate aim with his Hen ry rile, the doctoi fired and the bear fell mentally wounded. An other load was -sprung (from the magazine into the rifle, and the doc tor looking toward bis piey, was surprised to see a seoend 'bear dn the same spot. This he abet also, and quickly reloading was yet more astonished to see a third bear in the same place where he had shot the other two. Again the level moved and a fresh charge went into posi. tion, and again ths doctor looked up and discovered a fourth grizzly coming toward him from the same opening in the brush. Whang went \ tne gun again, and down went bear Ho. 4. By this time the doctor had got warmed up and excited, and he kept moving the lever and firing in* to the bodies of the bears until the sixteen shots in the magazine were exhausted. Meantime, his com panions' bearing the shootiDg and presuming the cause, made their way to where the doctor was. with the intention of assisting him, but iouml him on the top of the largest "bear, with the others strewn about swinging his hat and shouting lusti ly. One was an immense grizzly, ao large that the hunters could not handle him, the other three were good sized grizzlies, probably about two years old. The shooting of four bears by one man without ever changing his position, is something hitherto unheard of, even in the most highly colored annals of the Weete/n wilds.— Trinity, CaU. Jour nal. DOW A MAX LOCKS THE DOOR. There is something curious about the way a man closes up the doors for the night. A womas will close up all the doors in the house in ten minutes and spend twenty minutes taking down her back liair and get ting her frizzes ready for morning. The man of the house having no back hair to take down and no friz zes to put up, spends his time in locking up the house. He begins at the back doors and looks and bolts all the doors from that to the front door. Then he takes off his coat and collar. By that tim e one of the children wants a drink o** water and he has to unlock one of the doors to get it. Then he locks the door carefully, goes back and takes off vest and winds up his watch or clock as the case may be. His wife suddenly calls out from among the bed-clothes—it being the Winter season—and asks her liege lord to make another expedition to the kitchen and see if the pancake bat ter is liable to rise in its might and overflow the dish. He unlocks two na.oye doors and makes a tour of in spection. All is well. He removes his stockings, warms bis feet &od proposes to retire. Suddenly he is overcome with the eoovistion that the rear door is not locked and away he goes barefooted 07er the cold floor of the kitchen and wood shed. By the time he reaches the J woodshed door he is uncertain whether any of the doors are locked, and he makes the grand Found again. He removes his pantaloons, blows out the light and is just about to lie dowu, when his wife suddenly lethinks herself that the girl proba bly f jrg >t to pit toe milk pail out a.iJ away he g >es agaiu iu a huff and a white fi wing garment. Be f.cv !i j *'i'ts li:M'k to bed again lie steps on two maibles and a sharp piece of tin which the children have left on the floor. At last he gets between the sheets and lays him down to pleasant or horrible dreams —he is never sure which it will be. As Morpheus gobbles him up aud is about to take him Jto the land of Nod, the brilliant thought that the hired girl is out llasVes athwart his brain, and he gets up and unlocks the kitchen door. In exactly one hour aud eleven minutes from the time he begins preparations to re tire be is i bed for good, and one of the doors is still emlocked. He says softly but solemnly that he'll be bio wed if he'll undertake to lock the doors ftguta if robbers sur rounded the hoase four feet doep. But the next wight he repeats the performance by special request. A HILL TILL OP REPTILES. It ifl'a rattling big snake story from Curious Kansas. From the Atchison (Kan.) Patriot. Jan. 28. Mr. J. 11. Beeson, the well known Central Branch contractor, gave the Patriot a pleasant call this morniug, uud from him we learn the particulars of the most remark able snake story we have heard. In the extension of the Central Branch road from Beloit to Cawker City the line passes through the towu of Glen Blder. A short distance from Glen Elder, on the Solom n river, is a steep and rocky bluff, about fifty five feet high, a large portion of which had to be blasted away to make room for the road bed. A few days ago, while the excavation was in progress a blast of nitro gly cerine 3aps and giaut powder tore off an unusually large part of the bluff, aud down the declivity there ea ue writhing and rolling a bunch of snakes, which Mr. Beeson as sures us was almost as large as a I barrel. They were of different vari eties, rattlesnakes predominating, with racers, adders, garters, etc. When first disturbed from their warm bed they were active and dan gerous, but coming out into the se vere cold they were soon com para- Iwety haro.dess, and were killed by the men without much trouble, or .covered up in the dump by earth and sitene. Bat this is a very small portion of the t-tory. Every day and every blast, since this first batch appeared, bas fought another huge bundle of repti les - Bvery hour a wroriag, wriu^ in ß lurap comes rolling-down 'be biH, only to separate at the Soot, and whi.'t ea " cape the laborer 1 * pick and sht vel < crawl off to get covered up in tL >0 dump. Thousands of them have been unearthed and killed, and eve ry blast brings thousands more, far rivaling in number the famous snake den of Coucordia. Not a single case of snake bite has yet oc cufred, notwithstanding it is many times almost impossible to avoid stepping on them. Mr. Beeson says there are no unusual monsters among them, the great majority be ing as large round as a man's wrist and about three or three and a half feet long. He also says that farm ers for five miles around tell him that this is the regular winter den of these venomous creatures, and that during the fall the snakes in that country, which are discovered, are headed in the direction of the bluffs, and the only way thev can be turned from their course is to kill them. It is said to be one of the most remarkable sights ever 1 joked upon, and hundreds from the sur rounding couutry visit the quarries to see the snakes. dime FOR OLB ASK. No one denies that It u viae to make a provision for old age, t/ut we are not all agreed as to the kind of provision it is best to lay in. Cer • tainly we shall want a little money, for a destitute old uian is indeed a sorry sight. Yes, save morey, by all means. But au old man needs just that particular kind of strength which young men are most apt to waste. Many a foolish young fel low will throw away on a holiday a certain amount of nervous energy which he wiU never feel the want of till he is seventy ; and tfeen, bow much he will want it I It is curi ous, but true, that a bottle of cham* pagne at twenty may intensify the rheumatism of three-score. It is a fact, that over tasking the eyes at fourteen may necessitate the aid of spectacles at forty, instead of eigh ty. We advise our young readers to he saving of health for their old age, for the maxim holds good with regard to health as tD money ; waste not, want not. It is the greatest mistake to suppose that any viola tion of the laws of health can es cape its penalty. Nature forgives no sin, no error. She lets off the offender foi fifty years sometimes, but she catches hitn at last; and indicts punishment just when, just where, iust how he feels it the most. Save up for old age, but save more than money ; save health, save honor, save knowledge, save the re collection of good deeds and inno cent pleasures ; save pure thoughts save friends, save love. Save rich stores of that kind of wealth which time cannot diminish, nor death take away. One of tho most deplorable fea tures of.the business of those who engage in the circulation of vicious aud olcene literature is the fact that they find their patrons among the youth of the country. If a seminary issues a list of its pupils, the list is very soon in the nands of these wicked men and tho parties whose names are given are soon sup plied with circulars. In other cases they advertise that any boy or girl who will send them tne names of ten, flfteeu or twenty of their young sell jol companions will have sent a pack of visiting cards with the ad dress upod them. Iu this way thousands of names are furnished and circulars ssnt. Institutions of learning have been warned not to print the names of their students, but they still continue to do it, and thus furnish the moans to aid these harpies upon society. Few parents would believe that their sons and daughters were in possession ot snch ''literature," but the Society for the Suppression of Vice state that in one pnhlic school of a country village it was found that one-third of the girl pupils un der fourteen years of age had ob scene matter in their possession, and the contamination had been disseminated by thorn to the girls of two other oublic schools. In one block of the city of Boston, where four brown-stone bouses, occupied by five families, stood in a row, it was fou nd that the children of four families in three of the houses bad similar matter in their possession. Ih twenty - three ipstitutions of learning the foulest kind 0! books and pictures were found in posses sion of the students. And in every instance the parents and teachers were unaware of what was happen ing under their eyes. What a ter rible picture is here presented, and how careful every parent ought to be that their children are free from the influence of this terrible plague. No sentence, however severe, is too great a punishment for those who engage in this terrible business. THE BARRON MYSTERY. On the evening of the *2*2 nd of last February Mr. John Wilson Bar ron, the treasurer of the Dexter, Maine, Savings Bank, was found in the bank vault wounded, gagged and handcuffed, lie was in au un conscious state at the time, and soon after being removed from the vault died of his wounds. It was supposed that a robbery of the bank had been attempted, and tlmt Mr. Barron sacrificed his life while guarding the treasures of his bank. Graphic descriptions ot the tragedy were published throughout the coun v ry, aDd great sympathy was excit ed iu behalf of his wife and child ren Mr. Barron was extolled for his brav, or . v ie erec G° n A ch.irjh to ,lij Nfc- nQor T waa com ' menoeft in The excitement about the a.^ ir gradually died away. Jemmy i\ e x a noted-bank robber, was brought down from New York for eompdicity in the supposed murder and rv'bbery, but he was discharged. after month rolled by and nothi n g new was developed. The interest "h® been rekindled by the report a bond had been traced te Washing ton and that certain parties promi nent in Dexter were to be arrested. This was widely circulated and a great sensation was created. The bank officials state that these re mors are without foundation ad false. There seems to be no ques tion, however, that some very im portant discoveries have been made and a secret investigation is now in progress in Dexter. It is asset ted that the theories hitherto held re garding the tragedy are erroneous. There are, indeed, some who claim that Barron committed suicide ; but they forget that Barron had evidently been half strangled by a rope drawn tightly round his neck, and that, failing to induce him to djvirige the combination, after beat ing h4nL, and finding their efforts in vain, the thieves locked him in the vaults to dies. Ife was found gagg ed with a piece *f wood like those seen on pail handles. He was hand cuffed with his arms behind him, the handcuffs being finely finished and <)iekel-plated, and take hor revenge herself. Being a good swimmer, she waited one morning till the young man took his bath, when she swam up to him and gave him such a ducking that he was wittin an ace of drowning. The young man has now brought a charge of attempt to murder against the lady, and the , court will no doubt decide that he only got'what he deserved. TH£ WHITE Sewing Machine this BET op &U.
