EATEN BY BEAR-A Man Saved from
Death by his Dog.-'On the morning Of the
9th inst, Mr.. William G. Barnett, resident
of this county, when out In pursuit of game,
he espied, within gun shot, a huge bear
which he shot, and mortally wounded, the
ball breaking the back, and rendering the
hinder limbs entirely useless. Mr.. B. then
reloaded his gun the second time, and through
excitement accidentally discharged it, conse-
quently without effect. Again it was reload
ed, going off accidentally as before, this time
very nearly killing his dog, engaged in com
bat with the bear. Mr.. B. now approached
the monster, and attempted to dispatch him
with his hunting-knife. In this, however.
he failed. The spot was on the mountain
side, Immediately above the decayed trunk of
fallen tree. No sooner had Mr.. b. mount
ed the log, in reach Of the bear, when he was
tripped up, falling PROSTATE, his head down
the hill, his legs resting on the log. The
bear then drew him up, and commenced
gnawing and biting at an increased rate. Mr..
b., knowing his dangerous situation, felt that
something for the better must speedily be
did. Raising himself partially up, in a sit
ting posture, his right arm still gTasping his
knife, he aimed at the head of the bear sew
eral effective blows; one, however, missing
his mark, inflicted deep, horizontal cash in
his right leg above the knee. So soon as the
bear, eager for revenge, discovered this mis-
take, he caught the wound in his jaws, tear
ing it horribly. Finally, Mr.. b. succeeded
in disengagng himself, while the bear, very
nigh exhausted relreated several yards down
the mountain steep, where, from the OBJECT of
the shot and cuts, he instantly expired. Mr..
b., feeling his almost helpless condition, and
fast growing weak from loss of blood, was
made to reflect upon his situation-a distance
Of four miles from any neighborng house,
almost dying-beyond the reach ct human
aid rejecting thus. happy thought occur
red to his mind, which was, to rend from the
bosom Of his new linen, strip containing
the buttons, which he crinsoned in his own
blood, bound it around the neck of the dog,
and endeavored through gentle means, to
persuade him to leave him, and 20 home,
and give the alarm. The dog advanced
few PAGES, and returned to his master, lick.
ing his wounds, and bowling most piteously.
Mr.. b. then took a piece off his I" hunting
shirt" attached it TO the neck OF the dog, al.
so, and proceeded TO strike him, which he had
RETAINED from dong, until he found it strict.
ly necessary to save life. The second time he
was successful. The dog was faithful, gave
the alarm, but would not return on account
of the company going contrary direction
from his master. In the mean time. Mr..

SINGULAR CAsE.-On Monday morning
last as the train from Fall River reached
BrIdgewater, young lady apparently seven
teen or eighteen years old, and we'll dressed,
who was on board, complained of sudden ILL
ness, and requested to be left at that station.
Her wish was complied with, and she called
for hackman and requested to be taken to
the best hotel in the place. She was taken
to the Bridgewater Hotel and shown to a
room, when she Immediately retired. AS she
did not appear the next morning the landlord
went to her room and knocked, but received
no answer. He then had the door opened
and found the young lady in bed and appa-
rently in a sound sleep. Efforts were made
to awaken her but they were unsuccessful,
and physicians were called in. Their efforts
to restore her to consciousness up to Wednes-
day morning we're Intellectual, and she re,
manned in the same condition as she was
found on Tuesday morning. The physicians
say that there are no evidences of poison about
her, and they do not know what to make of
the case
She has nothing with her to indicate who
she is or where she belongs. Her luggage
consisted of a valise in which was a note ad-
dressed to Abigail Mcintyre: and also a BIZ
Bile, in which was a recommendation of one
church to another (what churches they were
our informant does not recollect.) She had
also in her pocket railroad checks from Fair
haven to Middleboro'-f which it is sur
missed that she may have come from Fairha-
ven or New Bedford. The incident creates a
great deal of interest in Bridgewater.- Boston
