land, where an adventurous backwoodsman VEN
tured to reside, beyond the reach Of the guns OF
the fort. Beyond this clearing their path led
through slip Of marshy ground covered with
high grass and bushes. The attention of the Off.
GERS was drawn TO two boys, the children of the
ckwoodsman, whose hut they had just passed,
one of whom was about eight, and the other ten
years of age, who were stealing through the
woods with cautious steps, bearing couple Of
muskets, the BUTTS Of which were borne by the
larger boy, while the muzZles rested on the
shoulders Of the smaller.
They stopped by large log at the edge Of the
swamp, and PeePed eagerly over 1t, and the Off
GERS then beheld few PAGES from the log, large
bear, apparently asleep. imbeded in the mud. -
The boys. having ascertained that the animal re.
NAMED where thew had discovered him few mi
nutes before, placed one Of the guns over the log,
aud the oldest lad. after taking deliberate aim,
fired. The bear MORALLY wounded, sprans up
in his bed, and uttered howl of agony. Til.
youngest boy ran towards the house; while the
other climbed umbly up small tree. Here he
sat in security, watching wi,h delight the expir-
inc struggles of his victim until the latter sunk
exhausted IN the mire--when he screamed after
his brother, Bill come back, I've saved him.
Again they took their pos, by the log, gazing at
their grim adversary, who by an occasional witch
ing of the muscles showed that life was not en-
tirely gone.
Il guess he's sort o. ',ve yet said one of
the boys.
Let's give him another pill rejoined the
other.
Accordingly. the other gun was pointed over
the log, and discharged. The larger boy then
advanced with long stick. with which he felt
his adversary at distances; and thus satisfied
himself, he at last approached the body, and seat.
ed himself on it IN triumph. He then shouted
for his brother, Come here, Bill. where are
you? why you're no account, to be afraid of a
dead bear. Eve used him up, the right way -
He's cold as a wagon-tre.
The officers now came forward to speak to the
heroic children, and learned that they had dis

POLlCE-LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

POLlCE- IUN T. a FlNo OiOI IL
On FRIDAY Miss Elizabeth Fans worth,a young
LADY, inheritinga moderate independence, though
of rather an intlam unable temperament. was
charged under the following singular circumstan-
ces:-About twelve months ago a young man,
named Gates, valet TO a gentleman residing in the
district of this Office, rode past the window OF
house in the borough. where Miss Farnsworth
was She was so smit'en with hls person that
she ran out and followed him till he alishted.-
She then asked If he was bachelor, aud on his
rcpiying in the affirmative, her delight was ex-
IRENE She at once confessed her attachment
to him, and offered to become his wife, The
Young man did not relish this, and lie refused
her offer. She afterwards watched him about,
and greatly ANNOYED him by her offers OF her i0ve&
fortune She was once taken toBnw ST. Tor this con.
duct, and discharged on promising not to offend
again. She mad not kept her promise, and though
the young man had even struck her with whip
and had caused water to be thrown over her, she
persisted in following and annoyiDg hin. She
was now brought up for creatlnga disturbance at
the house of the young mans master. and being
very cIamorous Tor an interview With Gates
The Magistrates wanted her 10 promise not TO
offend again Miss Farnsworth, who stood weep.
ing during the above statement, upon hearing the
last sentence of il. exclaimed Il shall never
make any promises of the kind; nothing will in
duce me to sever an acquaintance with the man
adore: nothing but death shall prevent me from
seeing him"
A ady who accompanied Mis- Farnsworth de.
g, ibed, that ever since she had first seen the
gentleman alluded to, she had become the most
wretchad of her sex, The passion she had form
ed was Fastening her to her grave. It had taken
such complete possession of the unfortunate girls
mind, that il was misery for those who lived
! under the same roof with her. She went signing
and moaning about the house; her appetite failed
her, added to which, the sleepess nights she had,
must. ere long, destroy her.
The magistrate endeavored in vain to reason
with her on the folly of INDUCING in hopeless
passion for man upon whom she had no claim;
but il was cvldeat that 1t made no impression up
on her, and she was given up to her friends, who
promised that they should. it possible, restrain
her from going to complainant's house.

Gohanna's colts have not vet made their ap-
pearance on the turf, and it is with great diff
deDce and hesitation that undertake to speak
OF their performances in a full training. least
par iality and interest may have misled me, and
l might thereby mislcad others; sNflice it to saw
that, as far they have been tried by me, and
heard of from others, they have fully or more
than eQualled expectations; and feel the most
confident assurance that those who may desire
to breed from this fine horse, will not be disap-
pointed or dissatisfied with the result.
That he is of the purcst and most genuine race
horse stock, is attested by the fact, that there
has never been member of his family that was
not race nag of distinction, either of the pre-
sent generation or as far back us it can be traced
WIN the exception of the imported mare, and
she was never tried, berg purchased at two
years old, exclusively for breeding.
1t Is not little encouraging to those who
nave heretofore bred from Gohanna, as well as
those who may desire 1t in future, to be informed
that challenge has been made TO run one Of
his colts over the Norfolk course, next Spring,
against any colt liz the United States, for five
thousand dollars. This circumstance is men,
TONED because it merely is one well calculated 10
increase the public confidence in him as a STOCK
HORSE.
Johanna served one hundred and fifty-seven
mares last year, having the celebrated horses
Sir Charles and Timoleon az his competitors,
which furnishes the best evidence of satisfaction
wi'h the appearance and promise of his colts.
There Is another recommendation flat may
with pfoprle,y DO offered for breeding from Go.
hanna, which is that his colts are So large & fine
as universally admitted) that such as should
not prove to be race horses, are sure to cumpen-
| safe their owners for the trouble and expense
| OF Taisln9: circumstance which should not be
| overlooked in breeding, as in the nature of
ihngs, 1t is not likely that all can make race
horses.
Johanna, it is believed, is now standing low
or than any other horse of distinction IN VIrgi.
MIA: this does not proceed from a disposition TO
| underbd other horses nor is it because his pro.
prietor thinks he ought not to stand as high as
any ether whatever; nut he does not feel justified
IN raising to a level with others, until there has
