CHARLESTON. JOLT 23.

An unfortunate occurrence took place as Tuesday last at the
Mato Arsenal, by which one man was killed and another wounded.
The individual who perpetrated tire ethos*, and who, as we under.
stand, was in a state of intoxication at the time, bad been guilty of
some merely conduct amongst the workmen employed there ; and
having been threatened with confinement by the person in charge
oldie workmen, he deliberately loaded his musket for the purpose
of resistance. As two men approached to secure him, be discharged
his piece, shooting one of them through the abdomen, who lame.
diately expired, and wounding the other in the hand. The name
of the offender, we learn, is Roberts and that of the individual
killed is Barry. The wounded man, it is thought, will probably
recover.

As Mr. Daniel Oaks and his son were in a field at work a few
days. ago, in Stamford, Vt. they descried a liege bear ; the
son went home tor his rile, shot the animal, and he fell. The
father seized a club, and ran to dispatch him ; but Bruin bad
no idea et being knocked on the bead like a deg ; be sprang
up, raised himself on his hind feet. and stood on the defensive.
And bete, it appears, be pro►ed himself an excellent baser ;
for, as Mr. Oaks was aiming a tremendous blew at his head, he
parried the stroke, and, with his dexter paw, laid his antagonist
on the ground. Hew betting stood at that stage of the combat
we have net yet heard. But no sooner bad Mr. Oaks got upon his
feet again, than Brain tried his strength at a back bug; and, grap-
pling his antagonist, began to spleens him most unmercifully—
when the son having in the mesa time reloaded his rile, Owed the
mewls in such a position as not to endanger his father, and sent a
baU through the bear's bead. Accounts differ as to the magnitude
of the animal. Some say he weighed NO. some 500. others 400Ibs.
Others again say be was exceedingly ism, and would have weighed
WOW.. it he had been well fatted.--Berhatire Americo&
