We learn from the Ohio papers that great
efforts are making in Michigan Territory pre-
paratory to claiming admission into the Union
as State. Some Of those engaged entertain
the opinion that this can be done independent
of any action Of Congress. This claim appears
to lis untenabe.

a BEAR CIJASr

some OF the citizens OF Shepherds
town. on Sunday morning last. were
much amused with the chase of a wild
Bear, discovered in the neighborhooJ.
One OF the residents passing into town.
saw the animal lying III fence corner.
ana, AFTER ms surprise, very naturally
excited, was over, he gave notice TO hi,
neighbours, when large number. with
their dogs, fastened TO the spot. Bruin
was regularly besiegcd, and defended
himself with great spirit-for LONE time
keeping off, not only the dogs. but bar
rrying almost every missile thrown n,
him. Al length, after being freed and
dislodgcd, one of the dogs gave him a
severe bite, which drew the blood pro-
fusely; and being surrounded and at
tackled on every side, rs well by the
men as the dogs, whilst on his back
fighting luriously, "A fence-rail was placed
over his body, and he was thus captured
and led IN triumph 10 the town. Here
ne was lodged in the Corporation iail
where, from his wounds. he died in a
lew hours. His weight we have no;
heard; but understand he measured
eight feet from snout TO tail.
Such scene has not happened. we
presume, for half century past.

ANNUAL. ELECTIONS

rom ILLINOIS, although the Annual
Elections have taken place long enough
since 10 allow us To hear from them. We
are yet without any returns.
FROM ALABAMA, we have martial re-
turns, which shcw an incrcasin, opnos;-
iion TO the misrule of the General Co
vcrnment, but do not authorize SAN
guine belief in a change, by the late O.
lection, OF the majority in the State
Legislature.
In INDIANA, the Wings have triumph
ed beyond all expectation. We have
seen returns of the Election for Cover
nor from thirty-two counties. i'm which
Mr.. Noble (the Wing candidatc) rccciy-
ed more than 23,OOO votes. and Mr..
Read, his opponent, less than IL .OOD.
Inc total majority in the State, il is
supposed, will not be less than ten thou
sand votes.
In MISSOURI, tho election for Mem
bers OF the Legislature appeared To have
turned almost entirely on a question
concerning the amendment of the State
Constitution. We think it likely. how
ever that the Wings will be found in
the majority of tlIr Legislature. A.
mons the members elect in the county
OF IT: Louis, we perceive the names of
AR. BARTON formerly a Senator of the
United States, and Mr.. BATES. who has
heretofore represented the State in the
other House of Congress.
From NORTH CAROLINA, we have
received (per the Raleigh Register) re-
turns Of the Election for Members of
the State Legislature from a number of
counties; but, as we had anticipated.
