\ BEAR SroRY.-The following items of
Of intelligence is so very old (says the New
York Courier) that it is probably new TO
the present generation. The New London
(Conn) Gazette ofFebruary ID, 1922, says:
"a Aery odd kind Of a providence hap.
pened lately in our neighborhood, viz. Mr..
Zcbulon Stanhcpe, farmer, living N. f. by
n. from this township, having trained up a
couple of large bears to the plough ard
other services, clapped them before his sled
last week, with twenty shpples of wheat,
for the new city. The animals drew cx-
tremey well for four miles and a hall, when,
the halter giving way the farmer set about
repairing it; but whilst thus employed, the
nhuman brute, seizing him by the right leg,
tore it miserably, and both bears pulling at
once ran away with the sled; so that with
the utmost difficulty he got home in four
hours on foot. Messengers were despatched
to look for the sled and cargo; two days
being spent in lruitess search, they were
given up for lost; but on The third, ut noon,
the noise of IL carriage near tue house WIS
heard, and young Cad Stanhope jumped up
to see who was coming, when he bcheld, to
his great astonshment, the two bears draw
ing the sled into the barn, with no earthl 3
thing in it except four large bears and three
cubs. The lad and two men that happened
to be then in the house ran nimbly and shut
the barn door, and with long gun shot
them all through Il crevice."

BARSrM's LAST PRoJEcT.-A new pro-
ject has been suggested by Barnum, which
Me should like to see tried. In recent
temperance speech made by him in New
York, he stated that there were 1000 grog
shops in the city, with an average custom
in each Of probably $40 day. He made
the following offer to- the city, viz: If the
city would shut up all the groggeries, and
give him the amount spent in all Of them,
he would pay all the city taxes, amounting
to S4,00O,OO0; send every child to good
school; present every family with library
of 100 good books, three barrels of -four,
and a silk dress to every female, old or young
and give every body free ticket to his mu'
! scum.

JUDGE O'NEALh AMONG TIE SAILORS
He says in a letter 10 the Temperance Ad:
vOcate:
"On Tuesday night, l met the sailors,
and ga brave time we had Of it" A full
crew OF fue fellows, with a sharp sprinkling
OF pretty lassies attended. let off one Of
my broadsides ot big guns, accompanied by
II rattlh,g fire from the tops Of small arms.

the Rev. VIM. H. Barnwel, who swept the
deck with shower Of grape, and then,
headed by brother Lra5 and cinecret on by
brother ates,,' We boarded the enemy, and
took 26 prisoners. Twenty.six sailor sign.

making about $500, who are shipped in the

Such scenes make me feel sometimes, like

every man to do his duty" and then cheer
them ON to the pulling down Of the strong

the Sunday Times published the following
Passing down Nassau street, three or four
persons were standing inside of Il store talk
ing to black man, and then invited US 10
come in.
Here is a black man, said one of the
gentlemen, "who wishes to sell himself, as
a slave for $50"
We entered the store, and saw short,
stout fellow in rags, with n good counte-
nance, and no indication of vice.

Don't you know that you cannot SCH

"What am TO do | can get no work ;

no one cares for me, and have no friend.
Is it not better to have oood master whom
can work for and who will care for me"
Here was an Illustration of the practical
benevolencc of domestic slavery, while it
exhibited the rank hypocrisy of the aboli-
tionists. They could raise $4,000 to pur-
chase the liberty of two muatto girls, and
yet allowed poor black TO offer to sell
himself as slave tu save hims |. from
starving in free Northern State.

to consult with one of his Clients; and of
course the key was turned upon him. From
the inside of the jail is wire; which, as a
telegraph, communicates to tlioss in the
office, when the parties visiting the Jail can
get out. When he was ready to leave,
having only few moments to stay, he
pulled at the telegraph; and the wire broke.
The jailors, not knowing what had happen
ed, awaited quietly in their office for sig.

patch was received. In the meantime two
cases at court went by default, owing 10 theei
