The Somerset Telegraph relates that
James Thompson of Athens, a few DAYS
since, went to his pasture in pursuit of his
cows. When in the thick bushes, he received
heavy blow upon his shoulder, and claws
were inserted into his coat, and his coat was
torn somewhat. In a few moments the blow
was repeated with greater violence, when he
found he was under the paw OF hugh bear.
He had no weapon of defence, not so much as
ajack-k and considering dissertation the
better part of valor, he at once decided 70
back out. He did so, made for the open land
which was fortunately close at hand. The
bear refused to follow him in the open day.

and sixty seven dollars paid to lobstermen in
his employ. There are other establishments
in Salem, where great numbers are boiled.
most of which are carried into the country
towns daily, many finding their way over the
railroads to distant parts of the State.

The Petersburg (Va.) Intelligencer
understands that a sale was made in that city
Tuesday, privately, of fifty three negroes, at
the very high average Of eight Buaaaed and

men, women and children, twenty six of
them being under twelve years of age. This
is perhaps, as high a sale as was ever made of
such property in the State.

TELrenArH1o cABLB.-As seen by the latest

TELEGRAPHIo CABLE.-As seen by the latest
foreign intelligence by the Persia, the shipment
of the tele,raphic cable had been completed, and
the Agamemnon and Niagara, accompanied by
two other steamers, were soon to leave with it, to
plant it in its place of destination, the bottom of
the ocean, from Valencia Bay, the Westernmost
point Of Ireland, to the Essternmost point Of the
coast Of Newfoundland, in America, distance
ofnineteen hundred geographical miles. The lay
ing did not probably commence before the hrst OF
the present month. 1t was contemplated to com
mence the laying at the starting point from Ire
land. instead Of waiting till both vessels had
reached mid ocean, and then diverging with it
each way The next arrival but one or two from
England may be that of the Agamemnon and Nj
agara and their train, with the cable completely
laid and the grand feat of the nineteenth cen
tury, telegrsphic communication between the old
world and the new, consummated. The first de-
spatch to be communicated is to be from Queen
Victoria to President Buchanan, with, Of course,
an appropriate response in return. But let US
not be too sanguine of the success OF this great
enterprise till it has been demonstrated by its
practical result. Some unforeseen accident or
Circumstance may lie in the background to frus-
trate the whole thing.

HE LATE SENATOR RUsK.-The death. by
suicide, of Senator Thomas J. Rusk, of Texas,
VIII be learned with quite as much surprise,
and nearly as much regret, throughout the
country, as the sudden exit of Secretary Mar
cy excited few weeks ago. He occupied
somewhat similar position among the states
men OF the South, to that of Mr.. Marcy
among our Northern public mel. No prom
inent man in the Southern democratic ranks
had clearer appreciation of the politics of
the couGtry,-none understood or respected
so fully the real character and strength of the
rising Republican party,-and none was per-
soually so courteous to it and its representa-
tives on the floor OF Congress.
He was man of real ability and sagacity-
hopeful but patient aspirant for the Presi-
dency-and had he lived, and his party pre-
served national existence till 1860, it would
have had no man more available tor election,
and being elected, no nan who would have
undertaken more faithfully and periodically to
be the President Of the whole country. The
North has always more to hope from Southern
democrats, in the White House, than from
Northern ones; and 1t could with reason have
expected something like justice from. an adj
minisration of which Thomas ]. Rusk should
have been the head. The South has few so
his death is national misfortune.
Senator Rusk has represented Texas in the
U. 5. Senate ever since her annexation to the
United States, and his third term of six years,
to which he had just been chosen, extended
to 1868, He has served with fidelity at the
head Of the post Office committee OF the Sen.

unlike those of many ether Sonthern senotors

was never entered upon.
Mr.. Rusk was about sixty years old and

habits. that should have induced the insanity
