Col. Miller said in his reply that "it his con-
stituents sent him back, and he found it was

The editor of the Enquirer kno,cs the above
remark was made by AIr. Miller, if he were
present during Mr.. Ms ten minutes reply
Not being present ourself, we made the
strictest inquiry, and can bring forward
dozen respectable citizens to prove that Mr..
NJ. did make just this remark--and citizens
too, whose word the Enquirer dare hot ques-

SHAMEFUL DIsHoNEsTy.-Asa proof Of the
extensive adul,eration of liquors in this coun-
try, the New York Sun says that more port
wine is drank in the United States in one
year than passes through the Custom House
in ten; that more champagne in consume ed in
America alone than the whole champagne
district produces; that cognac brandy costs
four times as much in France, where it is
made, as il is retaled for in our grog-shops;
and that the failure of the whole grape crop
in Maieira produces no apparent dimnuton
in quantity or in the price of wine.

A few weeks ago the Enquirer put forth a
highly wrought, and under the circumstan.
ces, most ridiculous eulogy of Hon. E. A.
flanagan, and regretted that he could not
visit Us to make speech in favor of the Ne.
braska bill, &c. We rebuked that eulogy at
the time, and we believe it was rebuked in
the heart Of every citizen who knew the
man. We have just received commune.
cation from a gentleman at Terre Haute
giving some particular, and probably unpub-
lished details, relative to the murder of his
brother in-law by Mr.. flanagan. We de-
cline publishing this letter, as we have no
disposition to revive old matters of so dis
agreeable nature as this. But if Mr.. Han.
negan's friends choose to place him before
this community as an sold line" Democratic
apostle, we shall certainly not treat him with
more respect than we have already done
certain other distinguished men of similar
stripe.

MOUNTAIN FIRES AND WILD GAME.-The

plain, have driven the wild beasts and game
fromtheir "lOcal habitations," and forced them
10 seek new retreats nearer the Inhabited por-
tlons OF The county. On the west side Of
Lake Champlain, the fires have swept from a
short distance above Whitehall up along the
lake shore for distance of forty miles
Much OF this burnt district is wild region
Astounding in game and wild animals, which
nave been driven into other quarters by the
devouring flames. We learn a few days since
nine bears which had thus been driven from
the mountains on the west shore of Lake
Champaign, crossed the south bay about two
miles above Whitehall. Some bows and a
woman who had been picking berries in the
vicinity. pushed off boat and rowed I'D to a
large she bear which was swimming the lake
with her cubs, when one Of the party struck
the bear with an oar.
Thus molestei, the bear turned upon the
attacking party, clap?ing her forepaws on the
side of the boat, and exhibiting a handsome
set of ivory, made an effort to get inside of
the skiff. Another bear and also the cubs
came to the rescue. After considerable ma
nGuvering on both sides a compromise was
effected by which the bear let 20 of the boa I,
and the boat made "srait wake" for the
shore. The boys and The woman went on
their way rejoicing-and SO did the bears
The former had narrow escape from being
upset IN their boat, and fight in deep wa
ter, while the bears were probably satisfied
with being permitted to escape in safety.
