Alarming instance of the fury of a

“ON Monday the 18 h inflant, Benja

Bridgeton, being on his way through a
thicket of woods io laid town, was fuddinly
alarmed by ihegrowling of a Bear—he soon
difeovered ah old me Bear and two cubbs.
The old one immediately made towards
him, growling and very fierce—he imme
diately took Ip lhe firft tree he could find,
which was about 9 inches diameter, and a
bovt 20 feet to the firft limbs; this he af
eended with all possible Ipeed, and having
reached the limbs, he called to the nearest
neighbour, who lived about'a quarter of a
mile dillant, for help ;ltMe bear on hearing
his cries, retfeated from the tree and hal
looed also, which she repfcated as oftep as
he called for help* The bear then return
ed to the tree and climbed up nearly to
the firft limbs, but Joofipg her hold, /Ke^
fell to the ground—lh»i inraged her, and
Ihe again afeended the titee with Sill great
er velocity, and overtook him at the height
*of about 30 feat, when /he feiaed him by one
foot, but the Ihoe coming off/he fell to the
ground—recovering, fte afeended the tree
a third time, and took off the other /hoe,
he constantly calling fo* W and found
none. He had now afeehded the tree as
far as was fafe for him ao yefttdre, the bear
constantly tearing hrs feet with’ Her tedh,
until they became a most (hocking fipcflade.
The bear at lengtbfaftened her jaws fapow
erfully to one of his heels as to cau/e the
limbs by which he held to brake, and he
fell to the ground, the bear falling at the
fame time on the other fide of the tree

Gazette.
Gentlemen,
The publishing the following account
of a wonderful anmmal^ lately dis
covered in the Cumberland Moun
tain, may be acceptable to rhe cu.
rious, and oblige a conjlant read
er, it being a faft.
IN February latl, a detachment
of mounted infantry, command
ed by Capt. John Beard, pene
trated 15 miles into the Cumber
land Mountain : On Cove Creek,
Ens. M’Don ald and another man,
in advance of the party, as spies,
they difeovered a creature about
three steps before themi it had
only two legs, and flood almost
upright, covered with Scales; of a
black, brown, and a light yellow
colour, in spots, like rings, a white
tuft or crown on the top of its
head, about four feet high, a head
aS big as a two pound stone, and
large eyes, of a fiery red. It flood
about three minutes in a daring
pollute, (orders being given not
to fire a gun except at Indians)
Ens. McDonald advanced, and
llruck at it with his.fword, when
it jumped up at least, eight feet,
and he upon the fame spot of
ground, fending forth a red kind
of matter out of its mouth re
sembling blood, and then retreated
into a laurel thicker, turning round
often, as if intended to fight. The
track, of ic resembled agdofe, but
larger. The Indians report, that
a creature inhabits that part of the
mountain of the above difeription,
which, by its breath, will kill a
man, if he does not immediately
immerse himfelf in water.: • Y
Accpubts by last evening’s
mad, from New-Haveb, are more
favourable than jhofe in our’,laft
the fever is considerably abated*

to England, haveatied with the fame ex
