GRIZZLY BEAR sroRIEs-The San Francisco
Herald cites the following as instances OF the ex-
ceeding ferocty Of the ursus horribiiis grizzly
bear Of America:
A gentleman Of this city, who has just returned
from a tour through the southern mines, informs
us that he saw poor fellow residing on the Tuo-
umne river, about twenty miles above Don Pedros
bar, almost eaten up by grizzly bear. The man
had gone cut with companion to shoot quail. He
carried only double-barreled shot gun. An OPP
portunity offered and he fired at a covy. Imme-
diately after monstrous bear rushed out Of chap
paral about fifteen feet to his left, and before he
could fly or offer resistance, was upon him. The
bear rose up on her hind legs and seized the head
OF the almost petriied hunter in. her cspacous
Jaws. She gave one craunch and tore Off all his
lower jaw and chin, hit him savagely in the sidc
and with her claws gashcd him dreadfully down
the side and in the abdomen. She then left him
and hurried of through the chapparaL
The wounded mans companion fed precipitately
AZ soon as the bear made her appearance and 10
frightened was he that he ran up tree that he
could not under ordinary circumstances climb at
all, like monkey. From his perch he saw his
friend torn and bitten by the monster When the
beast left, he came down and carried his unfoItu.
nate companion into camp, where surgical aid was
obtained as soon as possible. Our informant states
that the wounded man could scarcely recover.
This reminds us of story related 10 us few days
ago, Of another attack by bear in Sonoma county.
The victim was pursued by the infatuated beast,
but managed to get to a tree and climb it. To his
horror, however, the bear climed the tree after
him. He went up higher-higher--the bear, still
mad with rage, followed him. When he could go
no higher he crawled out as far as he could get
upon heavy limb. The bear could not follow
him far upon that, but she leaned forward, seized
him by the heel and literally tore IL of-boot,
bones, flesh, tendons and all-then appeared salts.
fed, and he managed to make his way, in a dread
fu condition, to his house, where he was, our in
formant states, in danger Of his life Asa general
thing, grizzly will not attempt TO pursue a man
up tree, but not because II cannot climb, for in
certain parts of the country they are often seen up
the trees feeding on the acorns, or else limbs and
branches are seen strewing the ground where they
have been thrown when torn offby the bears. In
the last case we have mentioned, tho bear was so
infatuated thst'it departed from its general habit,
and climed the tree.

Gov. johnson an Infidel.

Your attention, Democrats ifyou please as Gov
johnson would say We address Democrats, not
the blinded followers ofAndy johnson, but Union
loving American Democrats, and ask you 20 reflect
for moment upon the character of tho man, pub
lie and private, who, under the false garb of De-
mocracy, is now before you asking you for your
votes. We regard Andrew johnson as A danger
GUS man to the peace and tranquility Of society, be-
cause he ia most consummate demagogue, and an
iniidel at heart. Turn to the time, IL you please
when he was candidate for Congress, from the LIST
District in this State. Here is what we find in
" Circular No. a." issued by a competitor Of Andy's
for a seat in Congress
Be il remembered, that these charges have been
sustained by the first men in East Tennessee; for
instance, John r. Nelson, Esq, as a Senator in
the Legislature from Knox county, and other good
and true men; and be IL also remembered, that
they were made, and their truth testified TO by his
own ncghborsl Says Johnson's competitor, ~
have charged, and / now charge, and | appeal to
Heaven for the truth Of what | charge namely,
that Mr.. johnson, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in this district Ia an in6del and secret
enemy to the Christian religion" He is profane
swearer, an open and public violator Of the Sab,
bath, aud never speaks Of ministers of the Gospel
Of camp meetings, and other protracted meetings
and REVEALS but in terms Of dsrespect This his
neighbors know, and the religious portion Of them
have complained Of it. He never attends public
worship, only when he goes to clectioneer--he
never contributes to the support Of the Gospel,
or any of the benevolent institutions Of the day"
Again says the circular; "Hc Is an avowed and
notorious in6del, even denying the God who re.
deemed him" Again says bis competitor 81 Issue

will permit. l have planted as early as the

thenth of May for planting. have triedvar
ious ways-hills, drills and broadcast;
think, for the large kinds of corn, it is the
best to plant in hills, from three to three
and one half feet apart; from twelve to
eighteen inches one way, and three feet
the other. In planting put in twice
the quality of seed that you wish to
remain on the ground. Four stalks to the
hill is enough. Remove the weak and sick
ly4stalks on the first hoeing, if the worms
and birds have left any for to pull up. IF
possible, to avoid it, never plant corn two
successive seasons, on the same field, un-
less your manure for the second crop; al
most every farmers experience will tell him,
that it wont pay; and having planted, keep
your hoes bright by using them, and the first
shoeing apply dressing of plaster, or hand.
