An Important Law.
A bill passed the Pennsylvania House
of Representatives during the last session,
requiring certain proposed legislation to
be advertised before hand, and all the laws
to be published in at least two papers in
each couuty. The Senate struck out all
that part about tbe publication of the laws,
retaining only tbe first section in a modi
fied form. The Ilouse concurred ; and as
the law is an important one to all who in
tend to ask for incorporation hereafter, we
append it in full :

Grave Deacon Despair
Sat in an old chair.
He was watching a spider crawl
Over his spread
Checker'd with dead
On the top of the old gray wall.
But sweet Sallie Smiling
Her time was beguiling
la watching a butterfly's wing,
Its beamy she pondered.
And often she wondered
How such a sweet birdie could sing!
Old Deacon Despair,
His hand in his hair, -Was
mourning his youthful years;
He said that his lire
Was nothing but strife.
Commingled with briny tears.
Sweet Sallie had flowers
From beautiful bowers
She had plucked in a morning walk;
She called Ihem her sisters.
And thought she heard whispers.
Then she wondered if flowers could talk !
The old Deacon had gout,
He could scarce gel about.
And his life was departing full fast;
With a sizh and a groan,
And a pitiful moan.
He was hurried from being at last.
And Sallie grew old.
Her ringlets of gold
Were changed lo a silvery gray, "
But she said 'twas the liens
Of the moonshine at night,
And she ended her beautiful day.

The bullock would then be turned loose

abort time the bear, having caught tbe
scent of the-bait, would come forth and
make short work of the ill-fated bull.

SENATOR SEWARD.
CarmpondenM of Oonntll.vUta (Fayette Co. Pa.) Iitrirt.
W'ashingtos, April 7. Occupying a
est near tbe main entrance of tbe Senate
Chamber, is a gentleman approaching sixty
years of age, his head covered with grey
hairs, a high forehead, blue eyes, aquiline
nose, and large mouth, lie at once at
tracts tbe attention of every visitor not
that there is anything remarkable in his
appearance or person, but, because of his
ability, his masterly statesmanship, and
bis high sense of honor and justice. No
man in the Senate commands more atten

he rises to speak, every head is bent for
ward, in order to catch his words, wbich
are carefully pondered before ottered, and
are fraught with a "wdrld of meaning;"
and his voice, although husky and unmu
sical, has the charm of holding bis hearers
spell-bound. A whisper might be heard
in the crowded galleries, and each grave
Senator listens with great interest to this
man wbo stands forth as tbe promulgator
of liberty to all.
Mr. Seward was born in Florida, New
York, Ma; 1G, 1301. Among bis circle
of family friends he was marked, while a
boy, as a great student. He entered school

occasion for. Tbe hunters, wbo set forth
OD the task of persuading theaa unweloome
neighbors, by the gentle arguments of
rifle ball and keen long knife, to abdicate
in their favor, aod to remove to some oth
er and more distant dominion, met with
much success and got decidedly the best
of tbe argumeot with tbe Grizzlies. In
the course of tbeir work the men frequent
ly ssw one bear, distinguished above all
bis fellows for hogeoess and ferocity, aod
though this particular animal was seen at
short intervals for more than a year, do
hardy hunter had yet cared to venture
near enough to administer a certain leaden
quietus. In tbe coarse of months, tbe
"big Grizzly" became well known by sight
to several, and by reputation to more, aod
many was tbe shot thrown away upon his
tough hide, no bullet beiog fortunate
enough to find a vulnerable point. In
due course of time tbe fame of tbe grim
and grizzly quadruped reached tbe coast,
and be was talked of in tbe cities of tbe
Pacifio shore. The man most interested
of all in tbe four-legged hero, was J. C.
Adams, of San Francisco, tbe proprietor
of a large menagerie, a man mighty as a
hunter, and famed as a tamer of intracta
ble wild beasts.
In February, 1854, Mr. Adams, accom
panied only by one Indian and a boy, set
out on their journey. Their first care, on
reaching the bunting ground, was to an
nounce tbeir business, and request such
other hunters as might fall in with the ur
sine gentleman of whom tbey were in
search, not to shoot him, but to mercifully
spare his life.
In a short time tbey discovered a spot
which seemed to be, more than any other,
a favorite haunt of their expected captive
a narrow ravine, in the eastern edge of
Tuolumne eouoty, at tbe foot of tbe Sier
ra Nevada Mountains, on tbe headwaters
of tbe Tuolumne river. Here a trap was
made, in tbe following substantial mauner:
A log bouse was constructed, fourteen
feet square on tbe inside, and fourteen
feet high the logs of which it was built,
were eacb from ten to twelve inches thick,
all hewed smooth on tbe inside, and
strongly dovetailed together at tbe corners
huge heavy logs were piled on tbe top,
that tbe trap might not be overturned
an opening eight feet square was left for
the bear to enter, wbich opening was to be
securely closed by a sliding door, arranged
with a spring to descend whenever the
bait was meddled with the whole of tbe
inside of the trap lined with smooth sheet-
iron closely nailed down, that tbe feet aod
elaws of tbe animal might be at fault when
be endeavored, as he eertainly would, to
dig and gnaw his way out. Tbe bait was
live deer, and there was one constantly
in the trap, night and day, from tbe day
of its eonstmotion till the capture was
achieved, period of more than leoen
months. This deer was one of the wild
species, lassoed for this purpose, and fed
and watered regularly by man who wu
detailed to watch the trap. Tbe whole
datj of itsadiDg is trip to be eaten, wu
the iron cage. This operation took twen
Ij meo, three days, to accomplish. Du
ring tbe operation, be broke more than
seventy of tbe strong raw-bide lassos that
were thrown about bim, aud when tbe
struggle at last was ended, be was com
pletely drenched in blood from the slaugh
tered bullock and from himself. His re
sistance was of tbe fiercest, aod in the
course of the fight he knocked Adams sky
high, and an Indian sky higher, and a
luckless Dutchman sky highest of all,
without, however, seriously injuring any
one of tbem.
Being safely housed, "Old Grizzly,'
now rechristened "Samson,1 began his in
voluntary travels. A hundred and fifty
miles through the woods lo Stockton,
thence by steamboat to San Francisco,
where be remained five years, thence by
the John L. Stevens to Psnama, and by
tbe Baltic from Aspiowall to New York.
Samson stands four aod a half feet high,
is ten feet io length when fully extended,
is eight feet round tbe body, and weighs
2,034 pounds. Larger bears have been
killed, but none so large have ever been
taken alive.
Fremont, vs. Adams.
On Monday afternoon, "Old Adams"
bad a lively little encounter with one of
his grizzly bears, named "Col. Fremont."
These animals have been so long caged up
during their passage around the Horn,
that some of them rather object to tbe
hunter's old-time familiarities. While
exercising ten or fifteen of them in the
ring, at his menagerie in Thirteenth St.,
Adams flourished his wbip uoplessantly
fifteen years oyo, bought a negro g!rl of
S. B. Patterson, and paid for her ia coun
terfeit money, was sentenced to the Peni
tentiary for a term of three years.
