A BEAR STORY.

A person in Lewis County, New York,
whose name is sent to US, has in his possession
two bears, four deer and one raccoon. He
says the way they were captured is novelty.
The hunter came in contact with the animals
in ravine, hedged in with snow. 1t is not
stated how he was armed, otherwise than that
he wore knapsack well stored with provis-
ions, among which was supply of sugar and
some bottles of Stuart's syrup-nothing strong
cr, upon the honor of a bear hunter. The all
imals not having dined, went in for neal
The two bears rushed al him, tore open his
knapsacl and broke his bo,lIes OF syrup. and
at once commenced to lap up the sweet, taking
no notice of the man, who secured the remains
Of his knapsack and sugar, anu beat has.y
retreat. Soon, ho ever, he discovered his new
acquaintance on his trail, and accordingly he
commenced to drop the sugar, while the bears
approached, followed by some deer at u res
pectable distance, watching with curious eye to
see man eaten by two bears. The hunter
perceivIng that sugar was his best weapon of
defence, allowed the bruins 10 approach. They
came up and he held out the sweet bait and
they Tapped it from his hand, seemingly with
great care not to bite him. The hunter con-
tnued his retreat, still feeding the an mails with
sugar, until he led them into i vacant log barn,
climbing himself to an upper loft and drop
ping his bait upon the floor. The four deer
having been associated with the bears upon
friendly terms in the vale of snow, would rot
be separated from them now, and boldly enter
ed. Deer also love sugar The hunter find
ing his game bagged, went out by an opening
in the roof and climbed down to close the door,
before he reached it, a raccoon, attracted by
the unusual assenbIage and the smell Of the
sugar, and supposing, of course, atthcre was
TO be feast, entered with the rest, and there
upon the hunter closed the door upon the whole
lamly-and "happy family 1t has been ev-
er since. Whenever the hunter goes to see
them he wears the same old knapsack, and car
rics a supply of sugar for his swee, loving pets

The BUTTER TREE.-On the banks Of the Nj

from which excellent butter is obtained. The
tree is like our oak, and the fruit resembles the
Spanish olive. The kernal OF the frui: is dried
in the sun and then boiled, and the butter thus
obtained is whittier, frmcr and of a richer flavor
than that obtained from the COW, besides keeping
u year without salt. The growth ami prepara-
ton of this article is Of the leading objects
of African industry, and constitutes. the main
article of inland commerce.

DR.. F. N. Ripley Frozen to Death.


We learn from the North Western Demo-
crat, that DR.. F. N. Ripley, in company with
Mr.. McLelland, in the latter part Of Februa-
~, left Glencoe, about SIS miles southwest Of
that place, for Forrestvillc, new town located
in the early part Of the past winter. They lost
their way, and wandered through the forests
and over the prairies, until the morning of the
first Of March inst, when they reached Round
lake, five miles distant from the termination of
their proposed journey, when the Doctor declar-
ed himself unable to proceed further, and lay
down upon the snow. completely chilled and
exhausted. Mr. McLelland used all means
in his power to arouse him, but in vain, and
proceeded alone on mis- way to Forresville,
where he arrived at dusk, entered a shanty, a
part of which only, was covered, in which he
remained twenty days solitary and alone, SUBJ
sistng the whole time on one pound of cheese
and quart Of rice, and having been able to
kinde fire hut three times during the time
On the 2Oth instant, surveying party which
was to follow him and the Doctor, arrived.
heard his sad story, and returned with him to
Shakopee. the former residence of DR.. Ripley
Mr.. McLelland is now under the care of phy-
sicans and friends at Shakopee. Both Of his
feet were SO badly frozen as to render amputa-
ton necessary just above the ancle. 1t is pos
sible he may recover.
DR.. Ripley was about % years Of age, and
native of New York, where he is connected
with some Of the first families. We learn that
fragments Of his remains were found, having
been nearly devoured by the wolves. Mr..
McI,eland states that it was with the utmost
difficulty that he kept the wolves from devour-
ing him, while in the cabin.
