richest crops, the fields which gave the
most flattering hopes, are become a de-

trace of vegetation is TO be seen; the
fields, the roads, the roofs, are covered
with hail. 1t is noon, and the stones
are still the size of a hens egg. On a
wide extent Of country, not note of a
bird is to be heard; the country people
are gathering them up by basket fuils,
killed and mutilated by the hail, and
they found in the burrows numbers Of
hares and foxes, victims of this tremen-
dous visitation. The damage done to
the houses and other buildings, is very
considerable. 1t is impossible to estt
mate The extent of the injury, but it is
certain that the vineyards and pIanta-

HEROIC ADVENTURE.

Bennington, Oct. 11.--On "Wednesday
last, a son of Mr. Oliver Bebce, of Winhall,
aged 9 years. went to the woods not far
from his fathers residence, accompanied
only BY small dog, where he discovered a
young Cub, which BY the assistance of his
dog, was soon driven into tree. The boy
Immediately ascended the tree, and when
arrived near the object of his pursuit, ii
scene was presented at which a stoutel
heart might have failed. The old Bear
made her appearance at the foot OF the tree,
at which the dog rctreated, but as the Bear
attempted to ascend the tree, tile dog re.
turned, renewed his courage, seized her by
the posteriors, and brought her back upon
the ground: the Bear turned and made seve-
raj unsuccessful attempts to get her fangs
upon the dog.
The intrepid little green mountain urchin
was not to be frightened from his pursuit
"bs the sight of a bear" but whilst she was
diverted by the eXertions of his faithful lit
tie animal, he seized the Cub, descended the
tree and made a safe retreat with his prize

being constantly annoyedby the faithful dog,
she sheared of for the woods, and the little

the prisoners and was indicted with
them, it appeared that on the fatal
evening the prisoners had assembled TO
so to see an acquaintance in the Bow
cry, who had lately been married, and
finding the house shut went TO Riders /;
that at Riders they drank freely, each
taking about seuen glasses Of liquor, OF
the following kinds, and in the following
proportions: three glasses of brandy, too
Of gin, and too of beer; that they then
left Riders and walked down Broad
way, where they met another company,
and scuffle ensued, but that he was
TOO much intoxicated to recollect the
particulars distinctly.

days, and was submitted TO the jury by
Judge Edwards at half past l l O'Clock
on Thursday night, after very able
charge of more than an hours length.
The Jury, at g O'Clock Oh Friday
