ADVENTURE WITH BEARs.-Thc editor
Of he Lewiston Falls (Maine) journal h"s
rscenlly made ,~o~i.inn to Lake Umba.
Cog, and gives in the columns of his paper
an interesting account of the experience
which he gathered during his wild and
picturesque tour. Speaking of the bears
which abound in that vicinity, he says that
on the day previous TO his arrival at what
is called the "lake settlement" brave
little boy named Warren Bowley, nine
years of aye, the son of Isaac Bpwley, had
a contest with bear which near proved
serious one tor him. The account OF the
fight ran thus -
sold Bruin made visit to tho oat field
a few rods from tho house for his evening
meal, when Warren concluded to pepper
the vermnt with few buck shot. He
took tn, gun and fired at the animal,
woundins and enraging him. Young
Bowey, nothing daunted at the fighting
propcnsiIics. displayed by bruin, attacked
the old fellow with clib and went in for
free fight in which he stood fair
chance of coming off second best. The
boys's mother gave the alarm to the father
and an older brother, who were at work
short distance from the house they a.
once made their appearance, when ol
bruid concluded TO dccamp, decmng any
further contest too hazardous as the odds
were against him. The family gave chase
t. the old chap, but being provided with
nothing suitable for his capture or destruc-
ton he made his escape. On the Tuesday
following he crossed the road a short dis
tanco from the house with sheep in his
mouth. The same lad again attacked him
with a club he dropped the sheep and
made his escape. This same animal,
short time since, as we are informed by
Mrs. Bowley, paid her visit. lie put his
fore paws on the window sill, thrust his
head and shoulders into the room, aud
quietly took his leave"
