SOMETHING OF A BEAR. .SroRY.-A
gentleman who has Travelled in Texas
tens the following Of one Of the first set
tiers in Asstin county, of that State. and
which, OF course. is youchsd for as being
literally true:
In the summer Of iea7. he said he
was engaged in getting timber In the
Brazos Bottom, and the cane being so
thick. ne had to cut pathway through
some fifty yards to get to the best tim
oer-trees, and, as was customary in
those days, no one ever went from their
houses without their rifles. Having oc-
casion one day TO come out of the brake
to see some neighbors, who had ridden
as near as they could without riding in
the cane, he left his rifle, and walked
over to the edge of the cane, to where
ms friends were sitting on their horses.
After conversing some time they left,
and he turned TO goto his timber, but
TO his surprise and astonishment, what
should he behold, after advancing about
fifteen PAGES towards the tree, but a
huge bear sitting erect on his launches,
with his rifle cooked, and aimed in di-
rect range with the pathway in which
he was returning, and, "For me-" says
he in relating it, 81 felt as if my days
were numbered. had no way to re-
treat, except along my straight little
path, and | just commenced getting on
my knees for the last time, as l thought.
when the bear, seeing this, did his best
to fire; but Providence was on my side;
my rife was double trigger, and Bruin
did not understand it, and that was all
that saved me-"

The EXECUTION OF JAMES PARKS IN
CLEVELAND, OHIo-HIs BRILLIANT
SPEECH ON THE ScAFFoLD.
At ten minutes before noon he was
conducted upon the scaffold by Mr.. Sc
ward, the Sheriff, and Marshal Fitch.
he walked feebly, bat without any emo
ton in his countenance. He took a
chair provided for him, drank portion
of glass of wine, and held the glass
in his hand while he prepared to speak.
He was quite pale, but his whole air
was remarkably firm and clear minded.
A deaf and dumb person, an acquain-
tance of his, kissed his hand to him,
andhe returned the signal with apparent
satisfaction at the friendly token. He
commenced some remarks in strong
and clear voice, the substance of which
we viii attempt to give. He said
Well, gentlemen, there are but COM
paratively few present, and my words
win be but few. I.shall detain you but
a short time. III wished to say more,
have hardly strength to do SO. 1 see
among you some of my jurors. i have
norefections to make upon the verdict;
you did your duty. I have no leYity to
show on so solemn an occasion. I should
have been glad to have spared the peo-
pie the horror of an execution. Ny at
tempt to do SO yesterday by ending my
life by my own hand was not for my
own benefit, but for the sake of those
leave behind. You know how the old
family feelings of pride have prevailed.
I had hoped to prevent my child and re-
iations from the reproach which this
will bring 70 them. knew l was not a
murderer, and had right to dispose Of

and stop here. It is said that / have
had two impartial trials-that this ,oughl
to be conclusive. But, gentlemen, The
trial by jury is not yet perfected; hu-
man approaches to truth are but difficult
and uncertain. I regret that am moi
understood-that the bent of my mind
and scope of my understanding are mis-
understeed.T fineyer dreamed Of muir

but poor man, With less money thaa /
He was not rich, and his friends have
