particulars of q horrible occurrence which hap
pensh in our immediate neighborhood. No
traces Of the child which the bear carried off
In such daring manner have as yet been found

next dag his little girl, three years Of age, was
standing near the house, when an Indian spraug

bounded away through the underbrush. Pur-
SUIT was commenced Immediately, hut up to
Saturday without success, though information
had been received which, it was hoped, would
lead to the recovery Of the child, an Indian aud
squaw having boon seen the day after the ABB
duction carrying child which was closely
wrapped In a blanket, and was crying bitterly,
