Tie Acqaiia!o( Fnycrd.-We observe with
pleasure that the Wisconsin papers are determin-
cd, as far as they concerned, to share none of
lhe-disgrace brought upon that territory in conse-
quence of the acquittal of Vinyard. The Mil
waukce Democrat speaks of it as a most dis
graceful affair, and the Racine Adyocate:con-
cudcs an article in reference to the trial with the
following emphatic remarks:
This murder was perpe,ra;cd in the upper house
Of the territorial legislature, almost during it, se,-
sion, in open day, betre twenty witnesses, by one
olthe highest elective officers of the territory. The
criminal Is first permitted to go at large on bail,
then indicted for mnH,hUgtter and finally acguil-
ted of even that by jury This win forever re-
main a foul blot upon our territory. Wrdo here
by, and shall at all times, pronounce the ransac-
ton MURDER. We enter our protest agliu~, the
decision Of the court and jury; and We bope that
Nluyard although he has escaped the legal pun
lshment due To his crime, viii never escape the
effect Of public opinion and the public adherence
Of this bloody tragedy.

The bears, when hungry, seem always
on the watch for animals sleeping on lhe
ice, and endcavor, by stratagem, to APP
proach them unobserved, for on the small.
est disturbance, the animals dart through
holes in the ice, which they take care 10
be near, and thus evade pursuit. One
sunshlny day, a walrus Of nine o, ten feet
III length rose IN pool of water not very
far from us, and after looking around,
drew lis greasy carcass upon the ice,
where he rolled about i0r 4 time, and a,
length laid himself down 10 sleep, A
bear, which had probably been observing
his movements, crawled carefully upon
the ice on the opposite side of the pool, and
began rolling about also, but apparently
more with design than amusement, as he
progressively lessena the distance that
interviewed between him and his prey.
The walrus suspicious of his advances,
drew himself up, preparatory 10 preci-
plta,e retreat IN the water, in case of a
nearer acquaintance with his playful but
,reacherous visiter: on which the bear
was instantly mo,ionless, as if in the act
Of sleep; but after time began to lick
his paws, and clean himself, and occa-
sionally to encToach a little more upon
his intended prey. But even this prti,
flee did not succeed; the wary walrds
was far too cunning to allow himself tc
be ensrapped, and suddenly plunged into
the pool; which the bear no sooner OBJ
served than he threw of his disguise
rused toward the spot, and followed him
in an instant in the water, where fear he
was disappointed OF his meal. -Beechy

The following from the Franklin Planters
Banner, is no doubt what it purports to bc-a fish
story:
I'm odd Fish.-Mr. Alphonso Carlin,
a gentleman of this parish, who is fond of
adventure, informs us that few weeks
since. when on sea shore excursion, to-
wards the River Sabine, in company with
two or three other persons. he captured a
fish of very extraordinary species. |,
was OF fiat shape, about L. feet long,
viii, a tail something like that of an OK /;
ahou, Is feet in width with large fins,
which II used like wings, and a mouth of
a curved shape aboat three feet long 1t
had two spiral trunks or horns, one on
each corner of the mouth. lie saws after
he had put bullet in it, the monster flew
at his boat, mouth wide open, and with
It's grizzly horns proruding in front, its
tail slashing the air and water, and its Tins
playing on each side, it struck terror into
his crew By mere miracle he escaped
by Tending oil with an oar, as broadslde
was fired down its throat! Alter much
difficulty it was captured and an inellee-
'ual attempt was made by five men to
haul him ashore. He thinks it must have
weighed upwards Of 1900 lbs.

We have no later news from Michigan than i
given ia the Chicago Democrat of Wednesday
A correspondent of the Democrat writes: "Not a
county heard from but has given democratic
majority! From present appearances Barry
majority for governor cannot be less than @lA
THOUSAND. All our congressman are trlum-
phantly elected, and tho legislature will de demo-
cratic by an overwhelming majority; aud 1t is

they observed gentcc looking fellow

floor, took his hat and sneaked out of the
room, TO the no small amusement of the
