Hermit Of Pond Mountain" in Southwestern Viz

says:

For seven miles n passing through it, SO thick was
the growth that be had to crawl on his hands and

capturing In the hunt three bears, ten c0ons and
catamount.
He gave US an account of one of his adventures
with bear He was in the open woods, and the
snow about a foot deep. At distance of about
twenty PAGES from him. he saw what be supposed to
be bear skin lying in the at the foot Of tree
Whist looking at it he saw it move and supposnp it

as steer There was a large tree between the bear
and himself and within few feet Of him a scrubby
neech. The bear as soon as it saw him, threw back
It's ears and raised the hair upon its back indicative
Of an attack. Wilburn, with his empty gun sprang
upon the branches of the beech, which brought the
large tree between himself and the bear. Though
not out OF reach of the wounded and enraged an

ears set forward in its eagerness and its mouth wide
open, rushed under him. and overran his track But
bruin, having lost sight of both his enemy and his
track returned to the trail and quickly disappeared
on the back track. Assoon as Wilburn saw the bears

and started in pursuit. He had gone but short dis.

celebration Of the birthday of Daniel Webster which
will take place the LIST of January in grand style.
The Hon Caleb Cushing has been selected the pre-
siding officer and the Hon. Buius Choate will be
present. The President, together with the Cabinet,
and the most distinguished Congressman, are to be
invited. The following account of the first celebra.

At first captain he was promoted in 1854 to the
rank of Colonel He was brave, trusty and reliable
officer, and engaged in many situations of great re-
sponsibilitY. He was in the army when the news
came of the birth of his son Daniel. Calling to his
brother,inaw Stephen Bohonnon, he said, Here,
Stephen, have another boy at home get gallon Of
rum, and we will be merry" This, Of course, was
before temperance days, when every good Christian
thought it no harm to use little stimuant to keep
the heart cheerful.

INTERESTING Foss1L REMAINs--The hall Of that
useful Institution, tine Academy of Natural Sciences
was crowded with members on Tuesday evening to
witness most interesting exhibition of fossil remains
A huge monster of the ancient world, lizard.Iike
reptile, having the almost incredible dimensions OF
twenty-five feet in length and between six and eight
feet in hight had leen recently disinterred from the
ocean bed IN which it had rested since time so re-
mote that the oldest of human histories is in com.
parson, scarcely the record of q day. OF all the
forms OF animal and vegetable life which were the
contemporaries of the monster lizard, not one re.
mains upon the surface of the earth. One cannot
look without FEELING OF awe upon such revelation.
The interest Of the occasion was heightened by A
learned and curously sklul discussion by Professor
Leidy of the means by which be was enabled to as.
sign to their true place the fossil bones which laid
upon the table, and to reconstruct the entire animal
with us characteristic generic pecuiarities
Taking up the bones one after another, be ilustra-
ted the differences by which the repta may be dis.
tngnished from the mammalia; and then, proceeding
to the particular consideration of the more important
specimens before him, he gradually accumulated the
evidence M so clear and tOrcble a manner that the
audience listened with fixed attention and growing
confidence until the nalannounCement OF his conclu.
sion, which was that the animal was an herbiyerous
reptile, allied to the famous Igunadon MdnteH, Of
England SO named from the learned geologist Mr..
Mantell, by whom it was first made known Several
undecided questions in relation to the Igunadon were
said to be settled by the discovery just made As the
new animal is of genus distinct from any heretofore
known in any part Of the world it will doubtless at
tract great attention from the biologists and paleon
tologists Of both hemisphere. Professor Ledy has
named 1t HadrOsaurus Fouki the former term rep.
