A Battle with Bears,

We find in French paper the following nara
tive, taken from the Kasan (Russis) G zctte.
The colony Of We,hmale, Laba, (Sihcro,) ha>
been the scene of sad occurrence. Three colon
lists, Ssbanicif, Bialohorski and Dmy'rcf in hunt
ing in the great fores, of Laba captured two little
hears which they took home with them. Three
days had passed, and these savage pets had began
to rec gnizc their masters, when, during the FOL.
lowing night terrific howling was heard in the
village The Siberian colonies, which are devoted
to cxles are always surrounded with paisale.
The colonis,s, however, whose curiosity got the
better of their alarm, left their hu's but wha,
their terror at seeing the houses Of Diaohor, k
and Dym,rctf surrounded by a band Of hears,
standing on their hind legs and bowling with rage
The coonists ran to arms one Of them sounded
the alarm bell. The Cossacks of the garrison
mounted and formed in the place d'Umes. All
the colonists, armed with muskets and axes, march
ed against the enemy. The combat began with
musket Shots the bears in return tore up The
hedges, and did not fear TO attack the men. The
cnnte terrible, and was no, finished until one
Of the cabins was set on fire. This connagrstion
drove the enemy away. Eieh, bears remsined on
the field five men lost their lives, and thirty were
wounded, some Of them severely.

TnE CARDINAL SPIDER.-A large breed of
spiders abound in the palace of Hampton Court
They are called there cardinals" in honor,
suppose, of Cardinal Wolsey. They are full
m inch in length, and many Of them of the
thickness of finger. Their legs are about
two inches long, and their body covered with a
thick hair. They feed chiefly on moths, as ap.
pears from the wings of that insect being found
in great abundance under and amongst their
webs. In running across the carpet in an e.
vening, when the light of lamp or candle has
cast shade from their large bodies they have
been mistaken for mice, and have occasioned
no little alarm to some Of the more nervous in
habitants of the palace. A doubt has even been
raised whether the name of cardinal has not
been given TO this creature from an ancient be-
lief that ghost of Wosey haunts the place Of
his former glory under this shape. At all e.
vents, the spider is considered as a curiosity
and Hampton Court is the only place in which
have met with it.-Forcign Er. paper.

BLUE BEARD AND HIS CAsTLE-The ruins of
the de Ia Verriere, on the banks of the Erdre, in
the department of the Loire Infcrieure are, ac-
cording to the tradition of the neighboring pea
santry, those OF the castle Of the celebrated
Blue Beard, the hero of the well known nurse
ry tale. This formidable parsonage, who is
not altogether creature of fancy, was Giles de
Retz, who lived in the reign of Charles VII,
was a vassalage of John V. Duke OF Bretanage.
He was tried at Nantes, on suspicion of having
destroyed a number of children who had been
seen to enter the castle, and were never heard
ofafterwards.
The bodies of several were afterwards found
he having caused them to be put to death to
make use of their blood in writing charms and
forming ncantations to raise Internal spirits, by
whose means he believed, according to the hor.
rible acts of atrocity, and was sentenced to be
burnt alive; but the Duke caused him to be
strangled before he was tied to the stake. This
execution took place December -, lao, and
a detailed account of it is still preserved in a
MS. in the arches o. Nantes
