HOLDING THE BEAR.

A good many years ago, two men, rcigh-
bors. in Maine, had been in the woods dur
ing the day, and returning towards cven-
irs, when within mile Of their homes OBJ
served largo bear making directly for one
of them, and, 10 avoid his grasp, he dodg-
ed behind sizaablc trca The bear sprsng
and clasped his fore paws around the tree
and The man Immediately seized and held
them fast. After consultation how they
should despatch the bear, it was agreed
that The man who was at liberty, should
proceed home, obtain an axe and return
home Immediately. for the purpose of xii
Ing hun. The man arrived home, related
the situation of their nc;gslaor TO his wife.
and his plan for killing the bear: but mol
being much in hurry, directed bis wife to
prepare supper, and he would take some be-
fore he started, which WIS accordingly
done.
After supper was over, and he had taken
several turns from the fire to the door, and
from the dnor to the Gre, and lounging
awhile be Concluded he would 60 10 bed
early ana be stirring by tines in the mprn-
ing, and release his friend. Morning ar
rived, and the axc was got in readiness
He then told his wife he believed be wouid
have his breakfast before he vent. Break
fast being over, aud several small jobs done
about the house; he icisurely shoaldered bis
axe, and shortly found his ueighber in the
same position, very patiently holding the
bear, ana awaiting his return. On his ap-
preaching near the spot, and just as he was
raising bis axe to give the fatal blow, his
friend said, Stop ] baye suffered enough
holding the bear--yeu conc and take my
place, and let me have The satisfaction OF
killing him. This was readily asseGted 10;
aud the man, after being released, and see-
ing bis neighbor in tue situation that he had
teen, shouldered the axe and walked off,
leaving the loi,erer in full possession Of the
bear in his turn.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.

IT.
The Presbyterian General Assemblies
haye been disputing for long time con-
corning the propr;ety Of a man marrying his
deceased wife's sister. The legality Of
nearer and more delicate Relationship being
established By marriage, has just been de-
eided by our Court Of Appeals. 1t is alto
geiher proper. SO says that leaned tribu-
cal, the highest authority in the State, for
man to marry his mother in law. The
qusrtette Of Judges came to this decision
after this fashion, and uron the following
c1sc:
Eliza Bell mlrried 81 muel Bell, her son
in Law. Mr.. B. died, leaving the interest
ing widow, and also several children by his
f7st wife, whose grand mother was at the
same lime their step mother. These chill
dreu refused TO grant the old lady her dow
er, and hence the suit.
The cause was brough: before Judge Pry-
or, the late learned and estima5ie Judge of
lLe adjoining circa;t lie decided that the
marriage was void, as the parties wero with
in ihe degeee OF relationship fxed by the
| statate of 1898.
An appeal was taken, and the Adjadico-
ticn Of the lower Court reversed. The
Court of Appeals decided thar there was
