Bears. wild in Ohio.

Who would suppose that any portion of Ohio
is so new and sparsely settled, that bears run
wild in it, and that hunters far and near go there
TO have sport? Such is the case. Our good
friend James D. Ladd, has heen there, and tells
US marvellous stories of peril. and adventure.
The spot is ten miles from Napoleon, in Henry
county. body of some twelve hundred acres
of land, owned by the Wadsworths, OF New
York, is checkered with bear paths, and deer is
as plenty as sheep.
The bear hunter arms himself with brace of
pistols, mounts good horse, gets on trail, and
follows it until he overtakes his grme- The
bear will not run, but permit the rider to ap-
proach within few PAGES. If the shot is fatal,
all well. If not. the horse will soon put one out
of harms way.
Stealing cubs is rare sport. If they squall
all the old ones within ear shot are on hand. at
once, and will pursue the robber to the door of
his dwelling, and try to force it.
This is densely and heavily timbered re-
gion. A company is now taking ship timber
from it to New York city. 1t is cut and put on
boats, on the Maumee river or canal, and thus
transported through the lake 10 Buffalo, and
thence, by the Erie canal, to the Atlantic. Our
informant saw one stick of this timber, which
was valued at $50. In bears, big trees, and
ague. that Maumee country is hard TO beat

porter of the 5th inst. says:
The quiet of our citizens was disturbed
on Friday evening last, by experiencing a
shock of an earthquake, at about 20 mir
utes before 0 o'clock. The shock was so
peculiar, and so unlike anything before felt,
that it attracted very general notice
Buildings trembled, and furniture rocked.
The shock lasted about five or six seconds,
and passed away with mellow sound, like
distant-very distant thunder.
A correspondent of the same paper, wri-
ting fiom Jefferson, in the same county
saws;
Friday night, slight shock of an earth
quake was felt by many of our citizens at
81 o'clock, jarring houses, and trembling
with considerable force.

the evidence, as well as by these supplement
airy statements, of Messrs. Strangman and
Ross. as well as BY the evidence alone OF Mr..
Brooks, who has not made any additional or
informal statement, it is clear that Mr.. Ross
nor Mr., Farrell, and that Mr.. Brooks, from
the window of his house, saw neither one OF
the three. Theinference, therefore is, rather
that Mr.. Ross may be- mistaken, though he so
positively afhrms that Farrell was not sitting
on burdeil's steps, rather than that Farrell S
singularly corroborated evidence, while he yet
remains an unimpeaehed witness, so fay as
regards his character for truth and yeracity,
should be thrown aside as unworthy of ere
dence
We present these views ms to the present
position OF the most remarkable and exciting
murder contained in the criminal annals OF
this country excepting, perhaps that Of DIR.
Parkman), es those which, in our judgment,
will probably be confirmed by the verdict Of
the coroner's jury. If Mrs Cunningham and
MIR. Eckel lie void of guilt, they have followed
legal advice, fixing the damning suspicion on
their brows, by their course in suing out the
writ of habeas corpus, which inevitably
changed their position from that of witnesses
under arrest, whose testimony, if they were
innocent, should have been eagerly proHered
to clear away the doubt and mystsry which
they alone could dssipate, into criminals
whose mouths are sealed, and who apparently
seek thereby to shield themselves from giving
evidence which must be fatal to themselves.
The criminal fears investigation. The inno-
cent man courts inquiry.

The I,eut.lature.


The Massachusetts Legislature has now been
IN session some six weeks. and what has it done
Very little, Il not next to nothing, since the
hrst week Of its session, except to incur ex-
pense to the State Of some $4,000, for the pay
Of its members. at three dollars each per day. and
the accompanying perquisites. For IA fortnight,
i has hammered awxy at little profit upon the
immensely small subject of the quarrel between
the Governor and the House Clerk of last year;
and, as If mere personal matters were the highest
subjects it,is disposed TO consider, it has spent
= good deal Of time on the all-important question
Of who shall be Major General Of the militia, in
place Of Gen. Edmands, Observation-Disclosures or
Pierce i the House and Senate being at logger
heads on the point And. then, again, the little
trivial affair Of the " official organs" has oonsum
ed vast amount of the attention of the House,
which has at last decided 10 bsstow that boon
upon the Bee and Atlas with $3.50 to each, out
Of the States treasury, for the privilege. Thus
is the Commonwealth now possessed Of two op'
posite and contradictory organs, for opponents of
its policy.
Il is hoped the Legislature will not longer sui-
Ser trivial matters to consume its whole time but
go at once to the consideration Of the grave sub.
jvcts which should occupy rs considerations, and
be able to finish up its business so to adjourn
sometime before summer sets in.
In addition to the non-action Of the House, we
regret to see the Senate acting wrong on one
or two matters. One is, in repeating The statute
OF 1852 in reference to capital punishment; and
another in the report by its Jud cary Committee,
Of bill to repeal the law OF 1855 on the duties
and rights Of jurors. When this latter bill shall
come up for discussion on a second reading, it is
hoped it will be sent where it belongs. to the
tomb Of the capulets." And we trust the House
will reverse the action OF the Senate on the CAPT.
Gal punishment matter.
