1 miS BEAR HUNT.
it is noto dbodt two years since a party of Tex-
Hns, Sonta half doien in number, and half compo.
eed boys, {who, by the byr, in Texas are
to alert men in other regions), started forth wiih
Ihe requisite number of offensive weapons and big,
bony, ugly dogs, to “scare up” a Bear in the hot*
lom land of the Colorado river.
One of the butrters was old “Uncle Billy.”—
Whan we say “one of the burners,” we mean one
tof the professed ones. Uncle Dill was given to
tfte sin df bragging about his prowess in the sports
bf the prairie and the cane brake, and some of the
hunting stories ho told with due emphasis and so*
Jemhity, and a succession of hot whiskey punches,
io the group of idle listeners usually gathered of
cold J wibler nights around lhai stove, in that back
room oTthat grocery in that village of L— ■ ■■ —,
would, as the Texans say, “shear ihe bldo off a
ten year old calf.”
There is unfortunately, however- I" *— r y
on » bU«t* -iicvpi ana m unble Billy's toHege of
admirers there was one individual familiarly nam
ed “Jack Red Shin”—a splendid fellow, too, —
Who presumed to doubt and dispute not only the
truth of Ihe old gentleman's chronicles, but even
to- express the surious conviction that lie, Uncle
Billy* knew no more about hunting than a suck
ing dove—nay, that he had never yel, save by ac
cident, of in Ills owu Stories, bagged a single head
of game.
Undo Billy was a fat man—a very fat man;
and it was generally extremely difficult for ihe *
acutest observer to catch upon his round, plump, \
and massivo Oobntehnncd anjr other expression |
ihao that of -stolid, solemn self-satisfaction, But |
when Jack Red-Shirt ventured openly to express |
the rebellions opinion above enumerated, Uncle t
Billy’s fit features assumed ah aspect of dignified J
that would have abashed the old fellow
himself, had he happened just then to meet his 1
own countenance laoo to lace. But Jack Red J
Shirt was not to be abashed or backed out by any
mortal man, fat or lean, and so ho continued to 1
bother Unde Billy and dispute hie veracity and *
dotlbt hlr nunief skill, until the latter’s iro was '
aroused, and he sworo loud and strong that ho j
could b?at any roan in the country in a “bar hunt,” j
a “deer hunt,” or “any kind of hunt.” Jack Red ,
Shirl ldok the and a gallon of ,
••red-oye” was bet on oiiher side. And this was ,
why Uncle Billy made one of the party aforesaid,
going out to hunt a bear on ono of the darkest,
coldest nights, and in one of tho moat tangled riv
er bottoms that eyor perplexed a hunter. And
Upelo Billy* to kpop a little heal in his huge,
rbupd, rolling frame, enveloped it before starting
in a thick blue blanket coat, pulled on a high pair
of old mud bools apd a shaggy racooon cap, took
a whlpkey flask in ono hapd and a venerable mus
ket in the other, and oil they started. Jack Red*
Blurt mad? a vow thala beat should dip that nlghi,
and Unde Billy swore that none but lie would be
ip at the depth.
Boon tho, party wero stumbling, creeping, push,
ing, and winding about in tho low bottom, whore
{he ground was generally encumbered with a thick
undergrowth, and the groat trees rose iiko pillars
high In the air, and formed a wild oanopy of tan
gled brunches and dead leaves. '
' Presently the doge started game. First ono
gAVOiiho elgmjl by a long, loud bark. “Uo, Ran*
ger! at him, boy I” Tho other dogs joined In,
and the nexlmomenti with a wild shout and haU
loo,«nd afieroe outory from' tho pack, the whole
party, mon, boys, and dogs, rushed In ono dlreo*
lion through the bottom, '{'ho startled game,
whatever It was, Ipd them a long chase; and the
way. Uncle- Hilly expressed his opinion about
•tumps over Which he stumbled, vinos {hat caught
him Across tho Taco, and briars that scratched bis
hands, wouldhave horrified a follower of the con
venticles. The old fellow kepi up manfully wil'h
the rest, the perspiration pouring down hie flushed
face, and his shprt, big body shaking like jelly as
he waddled along in a kind of dog trot. He would
have stopped to rest now and then, bul that ras
cal, Jack lled-Shirl, was always close by him,,
shooting out every few minutes, “Now you’ll give
in, Uncle Billy 1” Uncle Billy would sooner have
died!
After a tiresome tramp in this way, the dogs
suddenly hailed In a circle around an old syca
more tree and eel up such a fierce bark (hat it was
absolutely deafening. The game had treed! The
hunters soon arrived at the spot and consulted
what to do.
Unde Billy sat down, refused to unbutton his
thick over-coat for fear of catching cold, look con
solation from tbefijsk> and gave it as his opinion
that the mysterious game was nothing more than
a wild cat. Jack Bed-Shirt, wno hud heldobrief
consultation with the other hunters, Insisted that
it was a bear. The others supported Jack. After
a violent war of words, Uncle Billy -swore be
would climb the tree and drive the wild cat crattif
her hiding place. "You climb a tree! That's a
good joke !” and a shout of laughter filled Utrc4e
Billy's ears, and flushed his already red face to a
deeper lint with anger. The “consolation” and
exercise bad warmed him up, and be felt hold
enough to dare anything in the shape of bird or
beast. So, straight he marched to the tree and
asked for a lift, it was given, and after much
pushing ho contrived to secure a position among
the branches. "Go higher upl” shouted Jack:
Uncle Billy went higher up; he was not going to
lei that impudent fellow brave him. "Higherup!”
end still higher went Uncle Billy.
"Do you see him V*
••No!”
"Get out oa that big branch aod you’ll sec him
“All right V'
'(’hat moment a crash waslreard, and down came
right among the tings with a tremendous noise, a
big, black looking shape. “Thebeat! the bear!”
shoaled Jack, and with a good sized stick ho rush*
ed ttl the prosirale creature. The dogs sprang on
it, and around it, and worried, and b«l,und barked,
and growled, and fought like mad creatures. The
hunters, men and boys, all suddenly armed with
sticks, followed Jack's example, and such a dm
of yells, shouts, blows, and burking arose that it
would have been impossible for any one whh del
icate nerves to survive the infliction a single mo
ment.
“Drive off the dogs 1 Slop, boys! Back—Ban
ger !" These orders were obeyed.'"The dark
shape lay petfectly motionless. It's a cilb bear,
boys, no doubt. Strike a light Jim !” That was
soon done. Some dried branches were 111 and
their blaze thrown on the prostrate form. “Hel
lo !” exclaimed Jack, starling back in alarm; “why,
boys, 1 swuun if it ain't Uncle Billy I”
“Ugh !” groaned the dsik object, now no lon
ger dark, and disclosing to view an old blue blan
ket coal lorn up into the smallest kind of strips,
whilst the racoon cap had no hair left on it.—
“Ugh I" a feeble voice wus heard; “1 told you
—it was O' ■■. cat. . boys 1"
Uncle Bill was restored by adueadministratlon
of “consolation;" ho concluded that it was “derned
poor fun,” and tb« l*r»m party liindlp
ivlll, h— uume. fie was much bruised, but not seri
ously hurt; and to (his day, whenever a bear hunt
is spoken of, he contrives io introduce some other
subject, such as the vanity of worldly pursuits,
the prospects of the corn crop, or the price of fresh
bacon.
A Mlarr’a Legacy.
The Queen of England recently received a bequest
of d half a million sterling from one of her deceased
subjects, a Mr. Nield. Tito New York Post thus
condenses the story :
Nield was a ba rristcr at law, and died in Chclaa,
■god 73 years. He was possessed of sn immense
lurtune, but was of very eccentric and penurious
habits* At Hie death of Ins father, thirty years since,
he came into possession oy about £350,000, which
sum had nut been touoh-jff up to the period of his
death. Thu deceased was never known to wear a
great coat. He usually dressed in a blue coat, with
metal buttons, which ho prohibited being brushed,
■a it would Uku off tho nap and doteriouto its value.
He hold considerably landed property in Kent and
Duoks,aHd waa always happy to receive so invitation
from hia tenantry to visit them, which ho occasion
ally did, often remaining a month at a time, and he
was thus enabled to add to his savings. His appear
ance anil manners led strangers to imagine that be
was in the lowest verge of • ,,d tne,r Com_
.*-• excited ih hia behalf, an instance of
which may bo mentioned.
Just before the introduction ofthc tuilrtay system
of travelling, tho deceased had been on a visit to sumo
of his estates, ond was returning to London, when
the coach slopped at Farningham. With the ex
ception ofoUr miser the passengers all retired to the
Inn. Missing their coach companion and recollect
ing his decayed appearance,they conceived he was- to.
distressed circumstances, and accordinlgy a siirn of
inbucy was subscribed; and a bumping glass of
brandy and water was kindly sent out to the ‘pour*
gentleman, which ho thankfully accepted. Many
instance! of a similar character might bo related. A :
few days before his dualh (ho deceased told one of
1 Ills executors that lie had mode a most singular will,
but as the properly was his own ho had done as ho|
pleased with it. Tho executors are the Keeper of
the Privy Purse for the time being, (Or. Tallon.) and
Mr. J. Stevehs, of Willesborough.
After bequeathing a few very trifling legacies, the
deceased has left the whole of his Immense fortune
to “Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria,
begging Her Majesty** most gracious acceptance of
the same, fpr her sole use and benefit, of tier heirs,
&o." The property is estimated at upwards of
£500,000. Fur some years before his death, Mr.
Nield scarcly allowed himself the common necessa
ries and comforts of life, and hai left a poor old
houaekeeper, who was with him more than twenty

Sam Hydo was a lame Indian, and a moat no.

where tho deer was to be found.
•‘ln a certain held, near the creek, and under

shako. The dea firing plaudits continued soroo lime,
and wound up with three distinct rounds. To at
tempt to describe to you my feelings during such an
unexpected thunderguat of national enthusiasm is
utterly impossible. I chocked—the tears gushed
from my eyes, and I Can assure you.it was by a
groat effort that I restrained myself from destroying

THE VOLUNTEER.
CARLISLE, OCTOBER 88, 1853.
A GLORIOUS VICTORY.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania,says the Pitts
burg Post, have good reason to feel proud of the
glorious victory they havo just achieved over
Galphin Wlffggery—a victory that Is altogether,
without a parallel in political warfare. The
Whiga left not a stone unturned—they rallied w tth
more than their accustomed activity—they poured
out their money like water; but it was all of no
avail. They made desperate efforts to defeat
Woodward and Hopkins, the Democratic candi
dates for Judge and Canal Commissioner, so as
to produce an effect upon tbo Presidential election*
The most villainous slanders were fabricated, and
industriously circulated against Judgo W oodward;
and even the sanctity of his domestic hearth was
invaded by the hyenas of an unscrupulous parly,
to defeat hiselectiun. That political mountebank,
and reckless renegade, W. F. Jounston, belched
forth his venomous abuse against Judge Wood
ward; but the result o\early shows that ho only ;
injured the Whig cause. His libels were so gross
—his abuse so scandalous—hia falsehoods so Iran*
spared, that they re-aoted 'frith terrible effect
against the Whig parly. We verily believe that
If Johnston had slumped the whole Stale, (he De*
mooratlo majority would have been 30,000.
This result settles the Presidential question be
yond all controversy. Pennsylvania—God bless
her—has gloriously enrolled herself on iho side of
Democracy. The Slate is safe for Pierce and
Kino by 20,000 majority. There is no doubt of
it, W'ijiggery is prostrate !—defunol!— I “an obso*
leto idea 1”
Now, fellow Democrats, gird on your armor
jgaio— go to work with renewed energies; and
rosolvo that you will give a still larger majority
for Fierce and Kino in November, than was given
to Woodward and Korkins on Tuesday week.—
You can do H— vou wjll do it!

Under this caption the federal piper* in New York
