From the Detroit Free Press, of July 3lst.

We have succeeded with some difficulty in learn
ing the particulars of shocking occurrence which
took place on the Hamramck marshes on last Tues
day, in which boy, eleven years DID, was actually
eaten up alive by bear, within sight of the CITY,
The circumstances of the case are as follows - A
man named Joseph Rademacher, a German, living on
Macomb street, between Rivard and RUSSELL went
out on Tuesday morning, in company with little
brother to pick raspbeTries. They carried their din
ners with Them ard went some five or six miles out,
before commencing their days work. Rademacher
deposited his dinner basket and coat the ground
and employed himself for some tme-in picking BET
ries when his attention being attracted by noise
he looked around, and, to his intense astonishment
saw arge she bear, accompanied by three cubs
engaged in deVouring his dinner. 1t was but the
work of moment to drop his basket of berries, and
hurry, with his young brother, away from the spot
He saw two boys not far from him when he left the
spot, but said nothing to them. Before himself and
brother had got safe distance, they heard terrible
screams in the direction they had left, which only
served to accelerate their pace, and place greater
distance between them and danger. They were soon
overtaken by of the boys, who rushing after
them in bewiIdermen OF fright, screaming that the
bear was eating up his brother Rademacher re-
ceved this intelligence in utter Gismay and took to
his reels with will, followei by the two BOYS. and
deserving the sufferer 10 his fate The cowardy race
soon brought them to the city, when they spread the
alarm, and large party was quickly formed for the
scue which proceeded to the of the disaster
accompanied by Rademacher and the father of the
unfortunate boy.
long search resulted IN finding the remains of the
boy the bear having eaten up about half of the corps
and buried the rest for future meal. Remnants of
his clothes were found scattered around, together
with Rademacher's coat, torn to pieces. general
hunt was commenced with view of finding the
bear. which has been continued up to the present
time without success. The boy was Irish or German
we are not certain which. His name also we have
been unable to learn, but shall ascertain it to-day
His brother, boy of thirteen, stated that they almost
stumbled over the bear before they him at all,
when he suddenly turned with savage growl and
seized the one who was nearest. A word of warning
from Rademacher when he commenced his flight
would have saved the boy, but he was too frghten-
ed to do anything but run.
The bear was large and powerful one, and must
have been excited to great hunger to commit SO bold
deed. The contemplation of such occurrence,
happening almost within the limits of city of, TO-,
QUO inhabitants, is sickenng and terrible. Wild
bears have become rarity in most parts of the State,
yet we are visited in the very metropolis by one that
perperates deed that belongs to the early annals
of our history. 1t is to be hoped that such visits
will be rare in future.

This is an increase of SO per cent, or about the
same with the population. Of this great cereal crop
fully half goss into surplus, partly in bulk part
greater surplus in 1857 than in 1850, by full 6OOOo
900 bushels which is equivalent to an increase of
thirty millions of dollars. Thele will be half the
same increase wheat, and one fourth as much on
oats. The advance in hay, which is already much
of gathered will be full fifteen millions more, which
chiefly appears in the weight of cattle, horses, &C.
In addition to all these Considerations we must re-
member that the crop of 1856 fell below that of 1849
very much If our hypothesis of full average crop
should turn out true, we think the SURPRISES of the
West will be from eighty TO hundred millions of
dollars better than in 1856 There is full demand
for these, and our railroads furnish ready and cheap
outlet to all markets.
