A BEAR CAPTURED BY CHLoRoFoRM.-A pa
per published at Mon,auban, Spain, gives an
account of the capture Of huge bear, by
chlorolorm, which is somewhat amusing
His bearship had for long time been the
terror Of the district, entirely defying all at.
tempts at capture. Even the most daring
hunters dared not approach him sufficiently
near to give him death wound; and so the
bear was left 10 his glory, making predatory
excursions continually among the sheep and
cattle of the surrounding farms. At length
a DR.. Pegot hit upon plan for securing the
monster by the use of choroform. Early
one morning he proceeded 10 the cave where
the bear slept, accompanied by a party of
peasants and having made sure by the snow
just fallen that the animal was within, The
peasants ran and fastened up the entrance
with iron bars, which prevented the bear
from coming out. Over the bars they
stretched blankets TO prevent The ingress OF
air, and now the operation of putting mon
Sieur e bear under The influence Of chloro-
form commenced. The doctor took large
syringe, and having filled it with somnolenI
liquid, discharged it through an aperture in
the blanket into the interior Of the cave
This being several times repeated, the bear
soon fell into deep sleep, when the doctor
marched in and secured his prize triumph
ant. They bore the poor bear away tied
limb and limb, keeping a cloth well satura-
ted with chloro(orm constantly at his nose,
and took him TO the village, where cage
having been prepared, the bear was permit
ed to awake. Great excitement followed
all around as the capture of The wild beast
became known, and crowds came 10 behold
him, secured in his cage. In the evening
the village was Illuminated in rejoicing,
while the praises of science and DR.. Pegot
fell from every lip. This is the first in
stance of the capture of wild animal by
chlorolorm.

SUICIDES BURIED IN CROSS ROADS.

A correspondent of one Of the London
journals states, that "lhis was formerly the
general practice in the south of England,
and it has occasionally been reSorted 10 with
in the last thirty years. At Chalvinglon, in
Sussex, there once resided, according 10 a
popular tradition, the only honest miller
ever known. About century since, This
person finding it impossible 10 succeed in
business, hanged himself in his own mill,
and was buried in neighboring 'crossway.'
An oaken stake, driven through his body,
taking root grew into tree, and threw a
singular shriveled branch, the only one it
ever produced, across the road. 1t was the
most singular tree ever saw, and had some-
thing extremely hag.like and ghoslly in its
look. The spot was Of course haunted, and
many rustic received severe shock 10

The tradition was of course received by the

BY r. 7. VAN HORN.
THE MODERN BELLE.

The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks IN her easy chair;
She's clad in her silks and saIins,
And jewels are in her hair
She winks, and giggIes and slmpers;
And simpers, and giggles, and winks,
And although she talks but little,
IT'S vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russell,
And ragged and seedy atlha.-
His coats are ou, at the elbow,
He wears shocking bad hat,
He's boarding and saving his shillings
So carefully day by day.
While she on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies bed in the morning,
Til nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snar!ing
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is sill in the papers,
Her cheek still dabbled with paint,
Remains of her last nights bushes,
Before she pretended TO faint.
She doats upon men unshavon,
And men with "the flowing hair"
She's eloquent over mouslaches,
They give such foreign air.
Sho talks Of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
As though but a mouse should meet hei
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy
And her head SO very light
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own,
Her body's made mostly Of cotton,
Her heart is made mostly Of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who swells with foreign air,
Hs marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair,
One Of the very best matches
Both are we'll mated in life,
She's got fool for husband,
He's got fool for his wife.

book, and in such country, naturally at

sentence induced me TO see it put into exc

A scaffold was erected In one of the mos
public streets in the city; the imperial pro

the Car attended; the book was separated
from the binding, the margin cut off, anc
every leaf rolled up like lottery ,icke
when taken ou, of the wheel. The author
was then served with them, leaf by leaf, by
the provost, who put them into his mouth, tc

he was obliged 10 swallow this unpalatablt

gentlemen believed that he had received

consistent with his safety, the Iransgressor
was sent back to prison, and the business
was resumed 10 Two following days. Ahel
