\ QUEER NAY TO CArCH BEARs.-A thick
and strong piece of whalebone, about four
feet long, is rolled up in small compass and
carefully envclopcd in biubber, forming a
round ball. 1t is then placed in the open air,
at low temperature, where it soon becomes
hard and frozen. The native, armed with
knivds. bows and arrows, together with his
frozen bait, proceeds in quest Of llru:n, AS
soon as the animal is seen, one of the hunt
ers deliberately discharges an arrow at it ;
the monster, smarting from his unprovoked
assaut, pursucs the party, then in full retreat,
until, meeting with tlrv frozen blubbcr, drop
ned in his path, he swallows 1t and continues
The pursuit, doubtless fnncying that there
must be more where it came from The effect
of tho chase and the natural heat Of the body
cause the blubber to thnw, then the whalr'
bone, thus freed, springs hack, producing
great mischief, and ohliginE the beast to dis
continue tho pursuits he falls down helpless,
writing in agony, and lis existence is soon
terminated.

GOAT VS.. CuINAMAN.-W We witnessed an
encounter between Chinaman and goat yes
terday, which was probably more amusing to
ourselves than to the Celestial. The China
man, residing near the north bank of the
slough, had placed lot of fish on n driving
platform, made of twigs, and as is usual with
that race, had arranged them with great care.
A large he-goat, in his perambulations, wand
cred around in that direction, and thinking
he had found good place to sun himself
jumped upon the wicker platform, which Yield
cd at once beneath its burthcn, and fell par
tally to the grouud. The Chinaman came
out of his little hut, greatly enragcd, and,
swearing some Celestial oathS, picked up a
club, which he threw at the animal striking
him on his horns, and making him reel as he
entered the neighbering bushes. John went
to work picking up his fish, muttering to him
self, when The goat observing his STOPPING
posture, came out, unobservcd, and standing
on his hind legs, made sundry comical gyra-
tions, and suddenly, with extraordinary inn
petus, rushed upon the Chinaman, striking
him in the most available point, and sending
him down precipice about ten feet high, in
the descent of which he turned two or three
somersaults lighting on his head on soil which
had fortunately been moist9nvd by the rcccn,
