ST. CHARLES HOTEL, MARCH 27.
After church was over We returned to
our rooms, opposite which were about a
dozen billiard tables in full blast; click
ety-clisk went the balls; windows and
doors wide open; stores OF every descrip-
tionopen and doing full retail and whole,
sale business. We took dinner, looked
at the newspapers, and found there was
Il bull and bear fight to come off at four
O'Clock. Being here for theexpress pur.
pose Of seeing the sights, VIC made tracks
for the ferry across the Mississippi, (thc
waters Of which are about two hundred
feet deep,)
On arriving at Algiers, opposite New
Orleans, we had fine promenade to
Gretna, where the sport was to come off.
We at length reached the enclosure, and
found about five thousand persons inside
and as many ont. In the arena was a
cage about thirty feet square and twelve
feet high, built OF timber grated with
bars Of iron; in it stood a large powerful
Slate.colored bull, Napoleon w., sole
monarch of Chat establishment, BY the
side Of this stood another grated cage,
with large and powerful bear which
would weigh about four or five hundred
weight, and would stand from three and
a half to four feet high, with lank sort

reported this ferocous animal to be the
hero of forty battles, in all of which he
came of victorious. We would not for
a moment question the veracity of such
a statement, but we must say had Napo-
leon lV. been his antagonist in the first
battle, we doubt very much whether the
remainder of the forty would have been
fought. We had just time to notice the
preparatory arrangements when the
crowd from outside broke through in
rushed several thousand people they
flew like magic on to the top Of the large
cage which was covered with boards, so
that the cage was soon surrounded and
covered in every direction by sight-scers:
those from the stag ne, and outsiders
who could not get sight, commenced
an assault on those on and about the
cage with stones, with sticks, brickbats,
clubs, boards, turf, and every thing that
came handy to clear the way and give
fair play. This having the desired effect,
and all being ready, the keepers were
about to open the communicating doors,

Why DON'T YOU CRY, You Fool. The
trial at the Salisbury Assizss latelyJ Of
an unlucky wight, who had been helping
himself to his neighbors goods, gave rise
to a piece of ingenuity OIL the part of a
well known lawyer, which to us, who
chanced to witness it, was somewhat a.
musing.
The prisoner had been defended by
counsel, and every thing that could Lse
said on his behalfhad been said, but tho
case against him was too palpable to ad.
nit of a shadow Of doubt, and a verdict
of guilty was pronounced. The Judge
seemed to look upon the culprit, who was
a rough looking fellow, destitute alike Of
friends and character, with some degree
of pity, and previous to passing the sen.
tence of the law upon him. commenced
giving him few words Of advice.
The bencvolence of his lordship's tone
was not thrown away upon the LAWYER,
who seemed to feel that as long as therc
was a chance Of helping his clienthe was
bound to do his utmost. UnobServod,
therefore, he at once whipt behind his
back, and putting his hands to the sides
ofhis mouth, whispered to the prisoner
as loud as prudence wonld permit,
why don't yon cry, you fool Bo
quick you'll save month at leastl"
The culprit, who before this was stan.
ding as unmoved as statute, immedi.
ately took the hint, rubbed his eyes With
his knuckles and for a moment seemed
overcome by a sense of the degraded ait.
nation in which he stood. The dodge An.

bull considering the intrusion rather i'm.
proper for Sunday, commenced paving,
and making a low below; the bear in
the meantime walking round by the bars
Of the cage with deep low howl.
After going quite round the cage and
finding it all secure, he stopped, and his
eyes fired up. The bull BY this time
appeared to be up to the boiling pitch OF
rage, unable longer to bear the insolence
Of the bear AT him he plunged. The
bear struck the bulls ear and tore it open;
this cnraged the bull, who made another
plunge at the bear; the bear not count.
ing exactly on the sport, got entangled
on the bull's horns, buried his teeth in
the upper side Of the bulls neck; the
bull, however, whirled him off. After
they had time to breathe awhile they
were stirred up with long poles. The
bull made desperate drive at the bear,
knocked him on his back, and jumped
on him length-ways. There they were,
head to head; the bear, opening his paws
quick as flash of lightning, took the
bull, claspcd one paw each side of his
head, graspcd his nose with his tusks,
and in this position held and hugged the
bull, both bear and bull kicking with
their hind feet, the bear still sticking to
his loving embrace. Never did | sec Il
darling have more fervent hug. After
remaining some minutes in this loving
position, during which time the blood
flowed profusely, the bull, suspecting
that the bear was sucking rather too
much Of his life, made desperate effort
and cleared himself Another short re-
spite, and the bull was again warmed
up to the scratch. The bear missing HE

tore it out, making the blood flow ami

tecly savage, and growled in his dcSpcr.

threw the bear six or eight feet into The

these pretcnsions, drove at him again /;

The Weather ana the Crops.

The crops in New Hampshire and Vermont give
abundant promise OF o large harvest OF hay, corn,
potatoes, and winter grain. The winter wheat or
some farms near Lebanon has been headed out more
than week, pastures are forward; the prospects of
these engaged in wool and stock growing, and the
dairy business, was never more ilattering.
The farmers of this section says the Ontario

return for their labors of last year. Wheat and
grass could not be well more promising at this
season. Unless some very unlocked for evil-per
haps we should write with r-happens, these crops
must he far beyond an average Other crops appear
very late, but still very fne all the wet weather
considered.
Some of our town and country farmers COM

making season will be at its height throughout the
county, being more than week earlier than usual.
The growth Of grass everywhere has BEEHIVE luxur

hay will be gathered The grain fields present avery
promising appearance. The ravages OF the fly,
which at one time was supposed to be very dostruc
tive in this and other counties, proves to have
done but triling injury; and although we meet a
farmer here and there who complains OF injury to
his wheat from this cause, the crop generally Is IN
healthy state and promises abundant harvest:
The rye crop looked thrifter so of oats and
corn-Leligh (Pa) Register, Jnmc Is.
We hear considerable complaint of the fly in
the wheat, to an extent that threatens a great
reduction of the crop. The fruit is generally safe,
though the apples fall or badly.-Cinciaaati Gu
sate, June 10.
The accounts from Michigan concur in stating that
the wheat crop OF that State never was more laxur
ant than at this time and that it will be the largest
which the Michigan farmers have ever sent to mar.
