VAN buren,, O., Sept g. 1857.
Mn. HoLLABAUGH,-DearS Sir "A party of
four of us, DR.. J. f. Claton, Joseph Crosser Lewis
McKinsey and myself went out some eight miles
north west to large deadening near section IS,
Wood county, on a hunting excursion. In the
deadcning we came across monster black bear.
Aiter shooting seven times ana wounding him Sc
verey, we all ran up with our guns dscharged.--
The dogs had already commenced the ight--hc
being 50 terribly large and strong in less than no
time he killed three OF our dogs and crippled two
more so that they had to be hauled off the ground.
We had three otlIcr dogs but they were cowardlv
and would not pitch in" The monster then made
battle with us with one stroke Of his huge paw
he broke Mes arm The Doctor ran in to assist
Nc. and got one Of his legs horribly mutated.--
lie would have killed them both had not Crosser
reloaded and run up and stuck the muzze of the
gun in the mouth Of the bear and fired. The shot
taking effect in the brain he gave one bud roar of
adstant thunder and yielded up the ghost. Du-
ring the fight he was stabbed eleven times near the
heart with large butcher kn;er After being dres-
sed the meat weighed 673i pounds the hide
weighed when Brought to Van DWen, at the Tan
ners on Friday the 25th, 691 pounds
The Doctor and McNin5cy are convalesccnt at
this time Crosser AMI myself came off without
any particular damage. Yours respectfully.

American Enterprise.

The Liverpool Post, in its issue of July 20.h,
refers TO the arrival OF the yacht Charter Oak.
and quotes it as evidence of what perseverance
can accomplish. The Charter Oak is vessel
forty-three feet in length, thhlpcn feet in width,
five feet three inches deep, ana measures twenty
three tons. MIR. Webb of Connecticut built and
rugged the vessel, is owner and captain, and
with the assistance of but ore man safely ac-
complishsd the voyage across the Atlantic in
thirty days. The crew in the fist place
consisted of the captain and two men. but during
the first day one of the men was lost overheard;
an accident which would have been sufficient
TO have discouraged many from prosecuting the
voyage further, yet did these two undaunted
navigators, one of whom had never been at sea
before, ,determinedIy pursue their perilous voyage
and after encountering several storms, reach the
desired portin safety And what makes the mat
ter The more remarkable is the fact that they
were not provided with chronome or, (the cap.
tain being too poor to buy one, and no one could
be found willing to trust one to such fral
conveyance,) and without even chart of the
coast they were steering for. That they found
port at all is a matter of surprise, and is to be
attributed to fortune more than to science.

,fe~ Bowling Green has IA beautiful location
in the heart of one of the best agricultural dis
tricts in the State, and her enterprising citizens
give it an air of thIift anl neatness that favora-
bly, impresses the visitor. Several fine residences
are going up this summer, and the streets nre
lined with young trees which will, in a few
years, give to the walks and streets pleasant
and inviting appearance. Add to this their
Union School system, and Bowling Green can
offer Inducements to settlers that are equaled b.
but few villages of its size.

,Vbe County Convention.

The R.publican county convention, held Ill
Bowling Green last Saturday, was well attend
ed-eyery township in the county being repre-
scented. We never attended nominating con-
Sen,ion that passed off with such universal
pood feeling as did this one, and in that general
determination 10 seek alone to nominate good
and true men, we could not fail to see certain
evidence of success at the polls.
JAMES w. ROSS,
our csr,iidate for Auditor, needs no commenda-
ten at our hands. His srenomination, by accla-
nation, is ample evidence of the fact that his
services are appreciated.
EBENEZER GRAHAM,
the nominee for Treasurer, is an old citizen OF
the county, is a stOunch Republican, and will
make an honest and faithful Treasurer. Being a
cripple, unable to pursue ordinary manual labor
Mr., G. deserves the sympathy of the people,
,and as he is in every way qualified for the Office,
we are confident his election is secure.
JOHN WEBB,
candidate for Clerk, has filled that Office for
several years with entire satisfaction, and his
acquaintance with the intricate business OF his
>ofice, mark him as the best person TO fill the
post.
J. +. PRICE,
our present acting Probate JulSe, is Young law
yer of ample qualifications for Prosecuting At
torney.
WILLIAM EWING,
candidate for Probate Judge, having served as
Justice of the Peace for several years, has
knowledge of law that will enable him to pro-
perly discharge the duties of the Office TO which
he is about to be elected
II. L. WOOD,
has fsithfully served the people as Commission
er for one term, and his denomination is but
renewal of their confidence in his ability and in
tegrty.
That the entire ticket will be triumphanlly
elected, we have not the least doubt. 1t is one
against which no tangible objection can be
urged. 1t only remains for every true friend 10
economy and the cherished principles Of the
Republican party TO buckle on the arnor and
see that every voter is apprised Of his dlty.-
The Locofos are entering upon the canvass with
a bitterness and virulence seldom cqualed, and
by the rapid repetition of base falsehoods and
their universal brag game, they hope to reduce
the Republican majority in the banner county
of the North.We That they will utterly fail
10 accomplish their purpose we have not the
least doubt.
