During the trial of a criminal case in one ot the -New lot courts ou Tuesday, a juror was discov ered to be asleep, and tbe eloquent speeches of the learned counsel for the prosecution and for tbe defense, after exhausting all their eloqueuce, failed to wake bim. When tbe jury retired to deliberate on their verdict be was car ried by tbe bailiffs to the jury-room, but could not be aroused from bis drunken stupor, and the eleven sober men were obliged to come into court and ark to be discharged on account of the inability of tbe twelfth man to vote on tbe verdict. Tbe Judge sect the juror to jail until be got sober ; then be bad hi in brought into court, where be received a severe repri ui and. This was supplemented with an order ci-mmitticg bim to jail for five days for contempt of court. If this tnan is ever impaneled on another jury he will most probably make an effort to keep sober. . How ephemeral is political fame. Among the ten thousands who fig ured in their day as Senators and Representatives in Congress, the ii;mes of but few are familiar to the present generation. Clay, Webster, and Calhoun made an impress on the history of their cone try which, per haps, will never be forgotteu. The class of statesmen standing next to them in abiiity are even now almost faded out of the public mind. John Forsyth, of Georgia, was one of the most accomplished off-hand debaters that ever appeared in the United States Senate ; yet how few of the 45,0 !0.(X)0 of people now dwelling in this land of ours know that such a man ever lived. Wiliiam C. Preston, of South Carolina, was an orator of great power and a Senator who re jected honor on his State. After his death how 60on was hi forgotten. Webster's reply to Robert Y. Hayne is likely to keep his (H.iyne's) mem ory fresh in ths mind of the reader. Otherwise he would have been lost to the recollection of posterity ; yet he was one of the brilliant men of his Ky. William T. Barry, of Kentucky, was one of the most eloquent of men, and played conspicuous part in the! p .liti'-s of his State. It is safe to my that a large majority of the pres ent voters ure not apprised of the fact Felix Grundy, of Tennessee, was noted for but eloquence -at tfie l.:ir and in the hiills of Congress. It is only the political student or the aiirvivors of the era in which he cut Lis i'iott prominent figure who know anything about him. Maryland kept Gen. Sam Smith in Congress thirty uine years, and we venture to say that thousands of the politicians of the present day never heard of him. The bame may be s.iidof Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, who represented thai Slate in Congress thirty seven veavB. We might go on and specify It score of others, equally talented ai.d influential in their day aud gen eration, who are bat Htddom thought of beyond the precincts of their Mood relations. If such should be the fate of these distinguished poli ticians, what is to become of the men who are now strutting on the politi cal stSfre t A large majority of them will not be rrjembered five years after they have been consigned to private life.

It was understood among the bulldozers tbat if the negroes could not be induced to vote with tbera, tbat tbey would not let them vote at all. Aa aoon a tbe poll were open at the court bouse "Jitn" Barksdale, "Tom" Wil liams, Wbadlej Gibson, "Bub" Wbee less, Lambeth, and about twenty others took a stand at tbe gate and voted them three at a time, which would have taken 'at least two days far tbem all to vote if tbey been allowed at all.

Tbe ne groes all ran ff, aud of course tbore was no more voting. Tbe same game was played at Ben ton aud D iver. When all tbe negroes collected at the polls tbey commeuced firing in tbe air. You bave lived long enough in the South to know that a negro can't stand that kind of punish ment. I don't think there were more than 500 negro votes cast in the coun ty. At Silver Creek, where every thing was solidly Independent, tbey would not furnish them wiib either box or registration book, so tbat vote was thrown out eutiiely. I don't suppose that io the history of any country such fraud and villainy were ever before practised on a people.

' In the Woods of Potter' County. TUE FEAT OF I1CNTERS. An Angry Bear and a Wounded Deer. The Perilous Situation of the Hunters. The Philadelphia Times of a few days ago, relates the following thril ling experience in the woods of Pot ter county : Dr. Bob Grier and a party of sports men of Jersey Shore, Pa., returned from a big hunt in the wilds of Pot ter county on the 22d of November, about twenty miles northwest of Coudersport, where they spent a week in pursuit of game. Grier is well known as a great fox hunter and lover of the chase, and on this occasion he met with an adventure that is worth relating. Thursday hist he left his party at the cabin where they were encamped in ths forest, for the pur pose of visiting a lumber camp about four miles away, to see an acquain tance. He slung his Remington over his shoulder, thinking he might get a shot at a deer or a bear. About half way between the cabin and the lum ber camp was a stage road but little traveled. As he crossed the road he came suddenly on a large buck. He fired, inflicting a slight wound, which served only to irritate the aniin il. The buck made a dash for him and he was compelled to climb a tree, having barely time to escape being trampled to death. In his flight Bob dropped his rit!e and he had no other weapon except the ordinary hunter's knife. His situation was anything but com fortable, but as there whs a possibil ity of relief from a-passing team he felt disposed to make the best of the situation. A BEAB OX THE SCENE. After he had been up the tree about an ho'ir he heard the crack of a rifle, and almost immediately two of his companions, by the name of Sutton aud Cole, came rushing by, pursued by a bear of unusu.d size and activ ity. They took refuge on a wild cherry, which parted in two trunks a few feet above the ground, one part leaning slightly and very rotten, the whole lo. 'king like two trees Once up the tree tney were safe from im mediate harm, if the bear could be kept from climbing after them. In the meantime Dr. Bob, in a fit of des peration, concluded to risk an en counter with the buck. In preparing to descend he took the precaution to faoieu his knife, thcjr.dy weapon he possessed, by a piece oi twine to his person, so that it might not be lost if it dropped from his band. Close by a hem.cK-k had fallen, and the roots at one end and the branches at the other kept the trunk of the tree about two feet from the ground, making a place of retreat to which he could resort if hard pressed. He descend ed cautiously, but the euragod animal was on the alert and at once rushed upon him. His gre.it strength was no match for the buck, which crushed him to the tarth and tried to stamp hiai to deat'iL On his bunds and ' knees, mangled and bleeding, he suc ceeded in reaching the f;iJlcn hem lock and crawled under the trunk. The bu, k could just touch him with its feet, but could not harm him. Anxiety and pain were wearing Bob out when he bfcard a crackling noise at the root of the tree and a sharp cry of pain from the buck, which is a familiar sound to the experienced hunter. Peering out cautiously he found the deer securely held by the knotted roots of the tree and his right leg dangling loosely, it having been broken in tue efforts to escape. He was satisfied from the desperate struggles of the animal that it could not extricate itself, and watching a favoracle opportunity he plunged his knife into tue buck's heart and sank down exhausted. At this moment Dr. Holmes, who resided some miles from that place, and who was attending a patient at the lumber camp, drove up and found Dr. Grier, who was an old acquain tance, lying upon tiie ground, almost exhausted from loss of blood. He took Grier into the wagon, and after leaving a revolver and knife in sight of the men up the cherry tree drove off to the camp for help. a fight with ekuk. Meantime the bear, r.fter many in effectual attempts to climb the tree, gave it up, and apparently relaxed bis watchlulness by lying down some distance from the tree. Sutton, at this time, thought at loast one of them might escape and broached the idea to Cole, who objected, knowing that relief would soon arrive. Watch ing an opportunity, Sutton descend ed the tree quietly, without being ob served, and after moving cautiously for some distance sprang to his feet and started for the cabin with the speed of the wind. Meeting the re lief party hurrying up to their as sistance, he returned with them to the rescue of Cole. Meanwhile the bear had got up and moved to the foot of the tree, when, apparently missing one of the men, he renewed his efforts to climb it Suddenly the decayed part of the tree fell with a crash. The bear was somewhat stunned, but fortunately Cole was not hurt, and he started for the revolver and knife, which he secured. The bear pursued and overtook him and hugged him around the body. Cole fired, but did not inflict a sufficient wound to make the bear relax its hold. He fired a second and a third shot, with no better result. But one more bullet now rem lined in the pis tol He felt softly on the bear's breast to find the location of his heart from its pulsations, and pres sing the muzzle of the pistol to the spot fired, when the bear gave a heavy groan and rolled over dead, and Cole sank exhausted by its body. In a few minutes seven hardy lumbermen come to his relief. His wounds, though painful, were not serious. Cases ot bair turning gray from fright ars no longer surprising; but a French girl was differently affect ed. A floor gave way beneatb her; she wasn't hurt but, badly scared. Tbat night ahe begao to complain of bead ace and cbiMs. The next morning sbe felt restless and bad irritation of tbe scalp. Puring the following days ahe steadily improved, with the exception of tbe irritation. Ooe day in combing ber batr sbe noticed tbat it came out in great quantities. Five days later abe had lost alt ber bair. Her general bealtb. was good, but abe continued bald. WHIPPED AT THE POST. Punishment in Delaware State. Thieves W kipped ta the Court House Yard. Some days ago about 300 persons assembled at tue court house yard at New Castle, Delaware, to witness the public whipping of five prisoners, who had been convicted of larceny. Three of the number were colored, one being a lad not over 15 years of age. The gates opened at 11 o'clock and the crowd rallied in to witness the spectacle. The first one fastened to the JHst was Charles Leiber, a German. He received twenty lashes, and though they were lightly applied to the flesh the marks were plainly perceptible on hio back. After the whipping, the prisoner walked away with a smde on his face. Edward Gallagher, for the larceny of a lady's coat, valued at 6, received twenty lashes. The victim appeared in the prison yard with a blanket over bis shouldets. On his feet he had stock ings, and be wore an old pair of walking-shoes. He presented a very piti able a; piarance. After bis hands were fastened to the post, the blank et was removed, and the prisoner bore the lashes without a murmur. John Dover, colored, convicted of stealing four bushels of wheat, was given twenty lashes. As each stroke fell he trembled, and on being untied, said he was " glad it was over with." Henry Lee, alias Eugene Lee, a col ored boy, who had stolen came to the post with some hesitancy. Upon the first stroke he began to shake, and as the third was applied, he succeeded in freeing his left hand from the post, his wrist being too small for the staple. A handkerchief was wrapped around Ins wnst and the whipping resumed. With tears in his eyes the lad entreated the sher iff not to " hit so hard." Aa the ICth lash was applied the victim's right hand slipped from the fastening, and, before the twentieth lash, the pris oner saiil: "O Sheriff Pyle! For God s sake, don t hit me so hard ! The boy left the jail-yard crying bit terly. James liaison, colored, the last victim, was convicted of the lar ceny of a ring valued at S'3. James walked up to the post rather spright ly, and placed his hands in the fast enings with an air of unconcern. At the conclusion of the twentieth lash he walked awav, saying : " That did not sting me." This closed the per formance.
