nary, in wheeling and whirling himself about with his arms to better advantage. From this position he tried in vain to discover the shape of her body through the leaves, which only gyve him a mere glimpse of her form, to enable him to direct a sore and deadly fire. Being well aware of his imminent danger should he fire and only inflict a wound, he did not think proper to run any risk by mere guess-work ; nor was he willing to retreat without making sure of both old and young as his own game. He next tried to get a little near er, but as he cautiously advanced, she gave way keeping at the same distance, hid in the thicket, and allowing hint to go d in any direction peaceably, except towards the cubs. Finding his endeavors ineffec tual, he return2tl and sga:n mounted the log at the place he had first occupied and from which he had a fair prospect of) the cube. Then adding an additional ball to the charge in his rifle, took off his frock coat buttoned it up nicely before, stuffed it full of leaves and twigs which he could handily reach on either side, with out leaving his place, fixed on the end of of the budget, his hat, and threw it towards the young bears. This stratagem had the desired effect. No sooner had it landed on the nest, than the old bear plunged for t ward with the utmost fury, sweepin% r;ve rything in her way, and leaped, tr,lon her deceptive prey. This mato7i3uv re brought her body in plain view her enemy, who, while her attention was thus employed, poured the contents of his rifle thro' her heart, and sh,e fell dead. By the assistance of several gentlemen, and a team, all three were brought to the Springs l - ast evening, to the great wonder and curiosity of the numerous gentlemen and ladies now residing here. The old , bear is one of the largest ever taken in this country; and it was supposed by good judges that had she been in fine or der, she would have weighed seven hun dred pounds- The cubs are still alive, and will be kept for the amusement of those who may visit the Springs during the season.

On Friday the 18th, while Mr. Jacob Devore, was engaged in blasting rocks, in the race of the mill near our town, he met a sudden and terrible death. He was alone when it happened, and how precisely the thing was done none can tell. He was found, about a half an hour after the report of the blast was heard, his feet resting on the rock near the blast, and his body laying back—the head and shoul ders in the water. Either a fragment of the rock, or one of the tools with which he was loading the blast—had struck imme diately upon the right eye, and passed di rectly through his head,—backward, lay- Ing entirely open the side of the scull from the eye along above the ear. The only way it is supposed that the accident' could have been brought about, was by drawing Ole priming needle (which strange to say was of iron, instead of soft copper or brass.) The rock was flint. The blast was fired by the action of the needle on the rock. Mr. Devore was in indigent circum• stances, and has left a wife and three small children to mourn his sudden and 'shocking exit. TI e trust that the citizens of our Borough will extend the hand of benevolence to the bereaved family. For it is written “he that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord." The Next Contest. Ours is on unceasing task; when we are driven, wounded, and broken hearted from one field, ere we have time for re laxation, or recovery, we are forced to gather up our battered and bruised wea• pons, and enter the field anew, against an enemy flushed with victory, and exulting, in the confident hope of greater success We have refrained, during the late campaign, to advert to the subjectof Pres idency: not from any coolness, or doubt on our part as to the proper course.

"Whether they will justify the Banks in their refusal to pay their holiest debts, and thereby have a continuance of irredeemable paper issues."—Gazettc, Sept. 27, 1837. "Whether they will sanction the locking up of the specie in the vaults of the Banks ?" lb. Again. "If you would prevent incorpora ted wealth from making unlimited issues of irredeemable bank paper ; if you would coin pie them at all times to have sufficient gold and silver—go to the polls and vote the Democratic" (Loco Foco) ticket.—lb. ..A record, should be obtained from every rag manufactory in the country as an evi dence, against the day of reckoning.

"He (Rttner,) refused to call the Legisla ture together. in '37 to sanction t he suspen sion of specie payments.—He would allow the whole state of Pennsylvania to live in open violation of the late of the land.—lb. These fellow citizens are but a few out of the thousands of like anathemas that were thundered apinst Bitter, for being Governor during a time of suspension— Are they of equal force nose ? These are some of the tricks of Demagogues used to catch the political flies which infest eve ry section of the state; and they were caught! and vainly anticipated that a like scene would never occur when they were in power. But it is here: And we hard ly believe there is one man of sound mind that thinks Porter will hinder the Banks frotn issuing "irredeemable paper." We shall look with touch anxiety to see it he "refuses to sanction the looking up of the specie in the vaults of the Bunks " NV by does he not do it—can you tells us, you noisy brawler, about "Bank rags 1" Will you fanfaronade and balderdash, carry him through this difficulty I It was a grave question to ask the supporters of Ratner, if they sanctioned his conduct then. You were much opposed to "irre deemable paper" and "bank vaults." Now then try your magic powers, and see if you can get your apostle of truth and honesty, to pursue any other course ; and when you find that you cannot,—then iii the bitter reflection at your own duplicity, scknoN% ledge you have been the plaything of knaves, and the enemies of your coun try. But once more. If you voted for :Mr. Porter and his party.—You were to have no "irredeemable bank paper'—and at all times were they to have sufficient gold an:l silver. Such was the syren song hum med into your ears, by the political charla , tans of partyipolitics, you listen Land be lieved. The day has come. That party and its banner of corruption, deceit, and infamy, floats in triumph over your state ; and where now is your "irredeemable paper?" is the money that your very oracles, and officers disburse as the le gal tender to the tMling laborer on the canal. We are not done. At the fOrtner sus pension a Wilksbarree paper fulminates, and the Gazette of this place reitterates the fiat. That "a record should be ob tained, their Juirters forfeited : for it was time that the Ba , ,ks !FERE ROOT LED OUT AND DESTROYED. Anti ' why ? they had suspended specie pay ments. They nye done so again; and these Caine organs of destructions are high in the councils of the Governor. Yet does he, or do even they, now recom mend that course? no no! Ile says "cul tivate a spirit of mutual forbearasee, and moderate on ALL sides." They do not talk of forfeited charters now, nor of root ing out anti destroying.—Again, "Ritner allowed the whole state to live in open violation of all law." it was a high crime in him, and called down the heart less curses of the low, the vile, and the disgraced. The brands of mischief were scattered by some selfish demon who hoped to ride upon the prejudices of the people in to power and place; and the oil scourings of creation—the beastly sot—the detected pick pocket—the sneaking coons terlifter.—and the unconfined vagrant, fan ned them into a raging flume. The tricks of deceit practised by the demagogues, succeeded, and a new administration has dawned upon our state. it is upon us in the full title of successful experiment. Acts like their own, but of a higher or der, consummated at our National Govern ment, has so wrecked the confidence and credit of our country. The hordes of state banks which have risen from the ru - Inns of the old National Bank, whose spi rit of speculation has so turned the heads of our merchats, that an entire prostra tion of national or state credit seems fairly to be anticipated; at any rate so , deleterious has been its erects that one suspension has followed upon the heels of another; and the knaves who duped the unsuspecting, find themselves placed in a situation where the sincerity of their promises roust be proven. If they fail in living up to them the honest even of their own party will stamp them as treacherous and deceitful demagogues. Now for a word or two or prediction. We claim no credit as a seer.

But no matter. We venture to assert that the utmost leniency will be shown by the present administration to. all the banks,—that they will love each other "like very brithers."—Mark what we say, you Loco Foco,— and try the an ti-banking of your dog-keeping adminis tration.
