m orn checkers the eastern clouds with streaks OF
light. And now is deserted in the distauce the
enormous bulk of huge Grizzly retreatng before
the rapid advance of camorous pursuers. But
wherefore dwell on the perils and fatgues and
daring enthusiasm Of mountain chase Phoe-
bus, sweating be meath his eternal toll, has ashed
his flying coursers midway up the Cerulean steep
and yet on and on. with unslacked pace are speed
lug painting Bear and baying dogs and treless
mountainecr and cventde draws nigh and be-
meath the pale moonbeam with wavering and
struggling step are clamberng another hillside
this monster Bear, with remorseless and sharp
fanged Blucher at his heels, his tagging comrades
limping in the rear, followed at long distance by
old Wormsley himself, rolling in very anguish of
fatigue Press forward Wormsley though your
cross is heavy you will soon reach your Calvary
Better baptise your aching soul with the nvigo-
rating contents of that curious flask whose head
so coaxingly peeps out from your pocket aud
Wormsley does take a capacious and boweltitti-
lating swig.
The midnight stars are peerng forth from the
quiet sky aud the exhausted Bear upon his back
in defenceful attitude crushes one after another
his fcrocious adversarics in death embrace, all
save the stalwart and cautious Bluchcr. And now
is heard the sharp crack of the uncrring hunts
mans rife. Hurrah for old Wormsley and Blu
cher against the forest monster Another and
another report and old Buchcr in his last hrOcs
Iicks the hand Of his weeping old master. No
/ :; .l,o o11 and
bruised rifle is shattered in thousand atoms and
WOrmsley mutilatcd and gasping is cutting away
with his long knife into the vitals of his colossal
foe He fights not only to revenge his poor dead
Blucher, he struggles for his very existence, for
the hot breath of the snortng Behemoth Of the
wilderness burns into his cheek, and tighter aud
tighter around his person are closing the huge
arms Of the dying monster. Hurra again, for
Wormsley is victorious and the huge Grizzly e.
hitting convulsive groan rolls upon his side a
corse. But the old, Intrepid and strong lmbed
hunter is hungry-is voracious in fact, and be-
sets himself to the kindling of fame and the dis
section Of his mountain prey, and reeking steak
hewn from the mighty carcass is soon steaming
and cracking to the infinite zest of our starving
Nimrod. Now portentious marvel As Worms
ley proceeded to masticate a morsel of his roast
cd fare it grew tough and animated within his
mouth. Swelling in size beyond the power of re-
tention ii leaps upon the earth a distance in ad
vance of the affri rightened hunter. 1t growls up
on him deep and fearful growl of defiance
Still magnifying in size it assumes the form and
lineaments Of The deceased Bear, and yet growl-
ing more terrffcally it seizc the terrified Worms
ley and dashes with its victim adown a neghbor-
ing preciptce.
The cabin of the old huntsman at the feet of The
mountain, frowning and rampant hard by. has
now no human tenant. We shall hear Of poor
old Wormsley no more forever Ferocious are
the Grizzly's Of Trinity mountain

Legislative Reforms.


All the daily and weekly papers in the State
are busly engaged in giving their views upon this
subject, and what after all will it amount to-
The course pursued by their predecessors has
placed it almost beyond the power of the in-com-
ing Legislature 10 remedy at least one of the
most glaring defects in our State Government
The census of the State should have been taken
in 55, yet it was not done for the reason that no
provision was made by the Legislature of that
year. The consequence is that the portion of the
State denominated by the factions as the Great
North, with double the voting population Of
most of the Southern counties, when compared
with their representation in our Legislative coun
sells, is left without its equal voice in making the
laws by which it is to be governed
We have been taught that the most essential
element of Republican form of government
and particularly that known as peculiarly Demo
cratic, is that each and every voter should hav,
an equal voice in the making Of the laws by which
they are to be governed. BY continued ant
apparently systematic and oppressive course or
the part Of the larger and older counties the Nor
thern portion of our State which has increased
more rapidly and permanently in its wealth and
population than any other, is deprived of almost
two-thirds of her Representative weight and in
fuence in our lie gisatiye Halls. We have hither-
TO tsmely submitted 10 this most unjust and OPP
pressiye course ba! since the more manly Of our
contemporaries in the larger cities of the State
have seen the enormty Of the evil apd have point
ed it out, we feel called upon by every sense Of
duty to remonstrate with our Lawmakers and
ask that Justice be done though the Heavens
fall
We say then that although it may be by the
sluggish legislation heretofore, out of the power
OF the incoming Legislature to wholly remedy
this unequal representation yet it is clearly
within their power to 90 so partially by increas-
ing the number OF our Senatorial Districts this

require more than four miners TO exercise an
equal influence in our government with one hon
orable citizen of great commercial county, or a
landed proprietor of one of the extensively laid
out though sparsely settled COW counties.
There should be no local distinction in Repre-
sentatiop, nor should there be property qualiiica
tions We pay quite as much tax in proportion
TO our population as any other County, and We
demand an equal voice in making our laws.
Let the Legislature see to it, The G-r-e-a-
Nor til is not ungrateful nor does she lavish
npon tie unworthy.
