ExUminer, that the Democratic papers of the fetale, continue to impress upon the people the great necessity that exists for making Judges elective. At the same time we fear that the re* form will be defeated, at the coming session of 1 the Legislature. The opponents of the measure dare not meet it fairly, and boldly. They dare not take open and manly, ground against granting the people the power and privilege of electing, their own JudiciaPonicers. Hence, covert action is resorted to. JJuti let tho people be on the alert, -- and let their. Representatives carefully guard every point'at which'this highly important measure may be assailed. For our own part we candidly oonfe&B that we fear the bill of last session will be so clogged during the approaching session,’as to prevent its passage. In that event, the labor of ihe reformers; of last, winter will feceivo a check r that might prove to be a serious burthen for many Jears to come. For one, wo say let' us have it just as ills. Its defects are not sp numerous or ,fio great as they might be. Certainly, ils merits far outweigh its demerits. No bill can be drawn 'that would be-regarded faultless in the estimation •■of all persons; and the Intimations that have been given out in regard the objectionable features of •]lhb bill of last session, are merely designed as preparing, the way for a systematic and cunningly devised: opposition.

Some of these i«n* ineOse bears will weigh eight hrfndffcd pounds, anil their skin is so tough that a market bait will not penetrate it. As the panther invariably destroys all the cubs which come in her path, so does the bear lake Jgroat-pains to destroy the panther, and fortu na(o! ih'tlecd Is the uhlm'al who eBdapcs of this black monster. The following •exciting ohdf interesting scene is related by on eye.witness: ‘ . ! . A large deer was running at. full speed, closely' pursued by a.pan.thor. The cimsphad been onej for os (hoy came, nearer I could perceive both of their long, parched tongues'hanging out of their months, and their bounding, though.',powerful,-was no -longer elastic.os usual. The deer, having •dis covered in (ho distance a largd.. block beat playing with her cubs, stbppea a moment (o sriuff the air, then coming still nearer, ho rnddq.-& bound with .his head extended, to ascertain if Bruin kept his position. As the panther was closing,vyilji' him, the deer wheeled sharp arouhef, ahd turning hack almost up ; on his own trail, passed within thirty yards of his pursuer, who, not being able at once lo slay bis ca reer, gave an angry growl, and followed the- deer agoing but ala distance of some hundred yards; hearing the growl, thd bear drew his body half out' of the bushea, remaining ,quietly on the lookout.—* Soon the deer again appeared, but his speed was mufilj rcdmfcd—and as lie approached towanja (ho spot whera (ho boar lay concealed,.it was -evident that the animal was calculating his distance, with admirable'precision. Thp panlhcr now expecting easily to seize his prey, followed about thirty yards behind, his eyes so intently fixed on the deor that ho did not see Bruin at all. Not so with the bear. She was.aware of the close vicinity of her wicked ene my, and she cleared (ho briars and.squorcd herself for action, when the doer -with o beautiful and pow erful spring, paesqd' clean -over tho bear's head and disappeared. At.tho moment ho took the leap tho panther was close upon him and was just bill* lancing himself for a spring when ho perceived to his -astonishment, that now ho warfuecd by & for* midabio edversary, not tho least disposed to fly.— Ho croched, lashing his flanks w ith his long tail, While lho bear, about five yards from him, remained like a,statue looking at the panthor with tier fierce [glaring eye#.. ’ •;< • One minute (hey remained thus; the panther, its sides heaving with exertion, agitated, and apparently undecided; the bear perfectly calm and motionless. Gradually tho panther Crp\Wed' fcu£kwardsj till-.pt a right distance for a spring, when, throwing .all his wuiglit upon his hind parts, to increase its power, it darted upon tho bear like lightning and fixed its'claws into her back. Tho boar,' with Irresistible force, seized tho paiVtfior with her (wo fore paws, pressing it with (ho wcight.of her body,' and roTKng over It. 1 heard a hiavy grunti-a* plaintive how), a crashing of hones, and tho panther was dead. The cub of the besr came to ascertain what was*going on, and afler p.fow mlnufes cxammaiiqp of tlio victim, It strutted down the slops of Ills hill, fOlTowed bylis oiolhcr who was apparently unhurt.— Viltibarff Natw'n’dl \ Rtfor\ On!
