DREADFUL OcouRnENcE-A Boy Eaten
By a Bear.-A shocking occurrence took
place on the Hamtramok marches, near
Detroit, Michigan, on last Tuesday, in
which boy eleven years old was actual
" eaten up alive by bear, within sight
of the city. The circumstances of the
case are thus given by the Detroit FREQ
Press
A man named Joseph Radcmacl,er
went out on Tuesday morning, in com
pany with little brother, to pick rasp-
berries. They carried their dinners
with them, and went some FIVE or six
miles out before commencing their days
work. Radcmacher deposited his din
ner basket and coat on the ground. and
employed himself for some time in pick
ing berries, when his attention was at
tracted by noise, he looked around,
and, to his intense astonishment, saw
large 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, 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 a
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
one of the boys, who came rushing after
them in bewilderment of fright, scream
ing that the bear was eating his brother
up. Rademacher received this intelli-
gence in utter dismay, and took to his
heels with a will, followed by the two
boys, deserting the sufferer to his fate
The cowardly race soon brought them to
the city, when they spread the alarm,
and large party was quickly formed
for the rescue, which proceeded to the
scene Of the disaster, accompanied by
Rademacher and the father of the unfor-
tunate boy. A long search resulted in
finding the remains Of the soy, the Jear
having eaten up about half # the corpse
and buried the rest for q future meal. -
Remnants Of his clothes were found scat
tered around, together with Radema-
cher's coat, torn to pieces. A general
hunt was commenced with a view Of
finding the bear, which has been con-
tinucd up to the present time without
success. y aIf

THE NIGHT.

o, the Summer Night,
Has a smile of light,
And she sits on a sapphire throne,
Whilst the sweet winds load her
With garlands of odor,
From the bud of the roses o'erblown.
But the Autumn Night
Has piercing sight,
And a step both strong and free;
And voice for wonder,
Like the wrath of thunder,
When he shouts to the stormy sea.
And the Winter Night VI
Is cold and white,
And she singeth song of pain,
Till the wild bee hummeth,
And the warm spring cometh,
When she dies in dream Of rain.
o, the Night, the Night
Tis lovely sight, aI
Whatever the cline or time,
For sorrow then soareth,
And the lover outpoureth
His soul in star bright rhyme.
1t bringeth sleep
To the forest deep,
The forest bird to its nest;
To care, bright hours,
And dream of flowers;
And that balm to the weary--REsT.

AGE.--But few men die of age. AL
most all die of disappointment, passion
al, mental, bodily toll or accident. That
passions kill men sometimes, even sud-
denly, has little exaggeration in it /; for
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young--weak men live
longer than the strong, for the strong
use their strength, and the week have
none 10 use. The latter take care of
themselves; the former do not. As il
is with the body, so it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or, like the candle, to run tho
weak burn out. The inferior animals,
which live in general, regular and tenn
perate lives, have generally their pre-
scribed terms Of years. The horse livos
twenty-five years the OK fifteen or TWEEN
ty; the lion about twenty; the dog ten
or twelve the rabbit eight; the guinea
pit six or seven years. These numbers
all bear similar proportion to the time
the animal takes to grow to its full size
But man, of all the animals, is the ono
that seldom comes up to his average. -
He ought to live hundred years, ac-
cording TO his physiological law, for FIVE
times twenty are one hundred but in
stead of that he scarcely reaches, on the
average, four times his growing period !;
the catsix times; and the rabbit even eight
times the standard Of measurement -
The reason is obvious-man is not only
the most irregular. and the most intern.
perate, but the most laborious and hard
worked Of all animals. He is also tbs
most irritable Of all animals; and there
is reason to believe. though we canno.
tell what an animal secretly feels, that
more than any other animal, man cher
ishcs wrath to keep it warm, and con-
sumes himself with the fire of his own
secret reflections. - lockuood.

IL. LANGSTROTR'S
Patent Movable Comb


A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES
N this hive enjoys over all others will
be mentioned:
The Apiarian has the entire control
over all the comb; any or all of the
comb can be taken out at pleasure with
out injury to the comb or engaging the
bees in the least. 1t gives the power of
inspecting all the operations of the bee,
and at all times ascertain their precise
situation. 1t furnishes the greatest pos
sible security against the ravages of the
bee moth. 1t allows the surplus honey
to be taken at any time in the most con-
venient, beautiful and saleable forms. =
1t is a swarming or a non-swarming
hive, at the pleasure of the owner.
It enables the Apiarian to multiply
his stock at pleasure. Queenless stock
can be supplied with Queens without any
difficulty. BY this system the Bees,
Comb and Honey can be removed from
ordinary hives into the I4angstroth hive
without the danger of being stung even
once.
This hive has taken the HIGHEST PRE-
MUM at twenty fairs within the past two
years, and received the SILVER MEDAL at
the Mechanics Institute, Washington,
d. G.
THE Price for the Hive and Right is
$40, larger Hives $12, the double-story
Hive $15.
E1- County and Township Rights
will be sold on reasonable terms. The
hives may be seen at my residence.

A THRLuxo MISUNDERSTANDING from a6sit to
New Orleans, We were fortunate to secure passage ON
q line steamer with but few passengers. Among the
ladies one especially interested us. She was the
widow Of . wealthy planter, and was returning with
only one child to her fathers house. Her devotion
TO the child was very touching, and the eyes of her
old black nurse would I'LL with tears as she besough.
her mistress ssnot to love that boy too much, or the
Lord would take him away from her." We passed
through the canal at Louisville and stopped for a few
minutes at the wharf, when the nurse wishing to see
the city walked out on the guard at the back Of the
boat, where by u sudden effort the child sprang from
her arms into the terrible current that swept towards
tho falls, and disappeared Immediately. The confn-
sion which ensued attracted the attention of a gentle
man who was sitting in the front part Of the boat,
quietly reading. Rising hastily, he asked for some
article the child had worn. The nurse handed him
u tiny sproD she had torn of in her effort to retain
the babe in her arms Turning to a splendid New
Eundland dog, he pointed first to the apron anu then
% the spot where the child had gone under. ia ~
instant the noble dog leaped into the rushing water,
aad he also soon disappeared. BY this time the
excitement WAS intense, and some persons on shore,
supposing that the dog was lost as well as the child,
procured a boat and started off in search of the body.
Just at this moment the dog was seen far away with
something in his mouth. Bravely he struggled with
the waves but il was evident that his strength was
fast failing and more than one breast gave n sigh Of
relief as the beat reached him, and it was announced
that he had the child, AID it Was still alive. They
were brought on shore-tlIe dog and the child. Civ
iuga single glance to satisfy herself that the child was
really living, the young mother rushed forward and
sinking beside the dog, threw her arms around his
neck and burst into tears. Not many could view the
sight unmoved, and as she caressed and kissed his
shaggy head, she looked up to his owner and said
oh, sir, I must have this dog-I am rich-take all
I have-evcrything-but give me my child's pre-
server The gentleman smiled and patting his dogs
head, said: Il am very glad, madam. if he has
been Of service to you, but nothing in the world could
induce me to part with him. The dog looked as
though he perfectly understood what they were talk
ing about, and giving his sides n shake laid himself
down at his masters feet with an expression in his
large eyes that said palmer than word-fNo,n nothing
shall part us
