anaacItH Of the Rsar.

Several anecdotes which were related to me
by our guide, concerning the habits Of the
black bear, would seem 10 entitle him TO o
higher position in the scale Of animal instinct
and saRacity than that Of almost any other
quadruped. For instance, he says that before
making his bed to lie down, the animal inVa~
riably goes several hundred yards with the
wind, at a distance from his track. Should an
enemy now come upon his track, he must ap~
proach him with the wind and with the beGr's
keen sense Of smell, he lie almost certain to
be made aware of his presence, and has time
to escape before he 10 himself seen. He also
states that when pursued the bear sometimes
take refuge in caves in the earth or rookie,
where the hunter often endeavors, by making
q smoke at the entrance to force him out; but
it not unfrequentIy happens that instead OF
coming out when the smoke becomes too OPP
pressiye, he very deliberately advances TO the
fire, and with his f~orefeet beats upon 1t until
it ia extinguished then retreats into the cave.
This, he assured me, he had often seen. Ais
though these statements would seem to endow
bruin with something more than mere animal
instinct, and eyince a conception OF the con-
! nection between cause and effect, yet another
| anecdote which was related to me would go
to prove this curious quadruped one Of the
most STUPID FELLOWS IN tne OEuLo cFea"'oH' ny
informant says that when the bear cannot be
driven out of the cave by smoke, it sometimeS
becomes necessary for the hunter to take his
rife, and with a torch to enter the cavern in
search of him. One would suppose this n
very hazardous undertaking, and that the
animal would soon eject the presumntuous in
truder; but, on the contrary, as aoon 90 he
sees the light approaching he sits upright on
his launches and with his fore-paws covers
his face and eyes, and remains in this position
until the light is removed. Thus the hunter
is enabled to approach as close as he desires,
without danger, and taking deadly aim with
| his faithful rifle, poor bruin is slain. These
facts have been stated TO me by three different
| Indians, in whose v~eracity / have much con-
fdence, and / have no doubt are strictly true.

In al The Death.--The late Joshua Sears
prided himself upon never having paid money
to lawyers during his life. The lawyers are
congratulating themselves, however, with The
hope of realizing something by his death, for
they find his will 80 loosely drawn as 10
furnish endless questions for the courts. Some
dozen different versions Of it are already sug-
gested. One lawyer suggests that Mr.. Sears
has left the profession a vested estate. Tt is
calculated that if the son lives TO be fifty years
Of age, and if the wishes Of the testator are
in every respect carried out, the property will
amount at that time to S20,0oo.00o. The son
can, at no time Of his life, receive more than
$4,000 a year out of the ineome.-Boston
Journal.

A Mysterious AGar,--We extract t he fol-
lowing from a Philadelphia letter to the New
York Express. We see no a%llusion to the
matter in the Philadelphia papers:
a case full Of mystery and horror has recent
ly come TO light, and the police of this city and
New York are now busiIy engaged in sitting
the circumstances and putting them in order.
We are not at liberty, at present, to state all
the facts ofthe case, aud W. may premise, That
they abound in the horrible and the mysteri~
Gus. The outline of the story is as follows:
Two New Workers, who are brothers, married
two Philadelphia ledies, who are two sisters.
The husbands, in the course of time, became
enamored Of each others wives, and the sisters
of each others husbands. To add TO the
Frenchiness of the affair, one of the women
contFived a plan to poison her husband, and a
colored man was employed to procure the need.
ful drug for the purpose.
The coiored man exposed the plot, to the in-
tended victim, and also told the circumstance to
a female friend ofhis ewn,w who in turn told it to
the would be p~oisoner. To get rid Of the
black man he has been arrested in this city by
one Of the wives, it in alleged, on trumped up
charge. If all the particulars ever reach the
public, they will be found 10 present a tissue
Of domestic misery, crime, threats and attempts
to murder, that would do credit TO a French po-
lice report. The interference Of The police
may prevent further mischief.

The clerical delinquent admitted that he had
q proelivity for stealing, and that he had in
vain endeavored. to overcome the appetite he
felt for other peoples property. As surely as
he was tempted, so surely he must fail. He
was held for trial in default of 5000 bail. 1t
may be 4 nice question in morals, whether this
poor victim of diseased organism ought to
be punished as a feIon or cared for as n luna
tic. If he has a propensity for theft, the
prison is poor school to send him TO in The
hope Of curing him.
