which they were much pleased with. The time will be
shortly fixed when they intend that players from all counties
should contend for the prizes that will, be given, which will

A bear lately broke loose from a caravan pro-
ceeding by Stow to Selkirk, and spread no little
alarm amongst tho inhabitants of the district, un-
accustomed to the visits of such a rapacious in-
vader. After having traversed the hills for some
time, he arrived at Hangingshavr Inn, which he
entered in a very unceremonious manner, and
came out not by the door, but through a large
window, the frame of which he bore away upon
his back as a species of trophy. After a suffi-
cient quantity of dogs had been procured, he was
hunted down, but with considerable difficulty.—
