A BEAR--AeAIN.--Our friend Silas
Cotton, of Sherburne, is one Of our most
noted bear-trappers, and seems TO have
fairly earned the title of Bear-onet. At

the best end of the bargain In his deal
ings with the Bruin family; and his whole
line of conduct towards them is decidedly
over-bear-ing A bear was caught by him
in Sherburne last summer, which was du-
ly noticed by us. Another bear was
caught by MIR. Cotton few days ago,
which weighed 800 lbs. This is said to
be the fourth bear killed in that town with.

course to the residence Of Rev. II. P.

ton they found that they had attracted q
crowd of some two hundred persons, all of
whom took unmolested possession of the
Reverend gentleman's residence, where
they passed the evening agreeably to them
selves, and we trust 80 to Mr.. Gushing.
