nD1.---A- -GuL2crihcf Mrilinl lu IA from North
Twin Dam, June 3, thus tells Of a bear fight
that took place on the farm Of Col. Thomas
Fowler, on the 3Oth ult One of the boys
WAS sent to drive the cows home. which were
about one hundred rods from the house, ut
the edge of the woods where he saw an old
bear and her two cubs. He hnlloes TO his
elder brothcr5 some fourteen years Of age, 10
come to him with pistol. lie brought one
Of ltamsdell's ten inch pistols as the other
had gun loaded with shot only. John, for
that was his name, fred the pistol at the
bears head, and she then went up tree
where her cubs were. The old bear turned
to come down and give bat;le-the boys then
fired again and the bear came down aud took
for the boys. John took the gun from the
other boy and mauled her over the head un-
til he bent it badly--and the dog made such
inroads upon her right flank at the same
time, that she was forced TO give battle 10
him, the dog, which enabled the boys to put
an end to the bear They then killed two
cubs and went home with one live one to
their mother (being the only person in the
house) with as much honor of victory as
General Scott or Taylor in the Mexican war.

EXILE OF THE P ofE. -The following start.
ling announcement appears in the editorial
correspondence Of the Courier des Etats
Unis.
'Pius TX has abandoned the project of
interfering by force of arms in the affairs of
the legation, but, in revenge, he has man
ifested afresh and more energetically than
ever, the Intention Of abandoning Rome and
accepting the asylum offered to him in the
Balearfc isles by Spain. This voluntary
exile of Che Chief of Cnristendom will be a
fact of which it is easy to appreciate the
gravity, and France is exerting her utmost
influence to prevent it, Our Ambassador
to the Holy See, NJ de Grammont, has just
arrived in Paris, for the second time in less
than month, to make the Emperor thor
oughly acquainted with the real state of
things, and to receive instructions how to
act in this eminent crisis. 1t is mainly
owing to his efforts that blood has not flow
ed in the Romagna, and that the Pope is still
at the Vatican; but we are informed that
be is the bearer, ION behalf of the Holy Fa-
ther, of sort Of ultimatum from which
there is no hope that Plus TX will recede
If the astuteness Of Napoleon III should be
insufficient to get rid Of this last and most
decisive complication, we are on the eve of
the most solemn crisis in the history of Eu-
rope'

From WASHINGTON.

From WARRINGTON WusAsuHon. Oct.
"A month ago, information Wa received
here Of fllibustering movements against
Nicaragua Though the statementwas not
fully credited, it was deemed Of sufficient
Importance to justify the issuing of'ilstruc-
tons to the proper federal officers to pxer-
else extraordinary watchfulness, the lres-
ident himself experimenting the preau-
tionary measures. A recent advertisement
in New Orleans paper Of steamship 70
start from Mobile for Chiriqui on the LIST 8
October, added to ether accommodating sus-
picious circumstances, seemed tending to-
wards the alleged invasion, but on inquiry
..of the collector at Mobile, nothing was heard
eonfrmatory of the report SO far as this port
was concerned, hut within the week relia-
ole information was received that large
number Of strangers were in New Orleans,
some Of whom Nere known TO have been
prominently connected with previous fill
clustering enterprises. This excited sus-
picion in the mind Of Collector Hatch that
they meditated an unlawful expedition. -
Late last night, about one hundred and ff-
ty men left New Orleans, the presumption
being that they intended going to the Ba.
lize or Bewick's Bay to await the steamer.
Clearance had been asked for the steamer
Philadelphia, professedly for Chiriqui, but
Collector Hatch refused it. The agent o.
steamer persisted. bat was unsuccessful
MI this was daily communicated to the gov
eminent, and, it is believed. was the OBJ
ject OF Cabinet consideration to-day. Or
lers have been telegraphed to-day for thu
U. S. Artillery at Baton Rouge to be helt
| in readiness to act, if necessary, as o poss
comitatus.
1t is believed here that the fllibuster
have SO arranged their plans as to avail
themselves of the advantages offered by TIL
re-opening Of the Nicaragua transit route
but the Administration is determined to u.s.
lsIl its power, including the land and nava
forces, to compel a respect to the neutralt,
laws.
LATER. -Neao Orleans, Oct. 4 Wake
and his men got off last night. They sail
ed from Berwick Bay ia one steamer, With
out any clearance.
STILL LATER.-Since the above vas tu
in type the news has been received that tn
fillibusters did not sail from Berwick s Bay
but Went down in the steam-tug Panthe
and put to sea without provisions. The.
then returned and landed at the South
West Pass. Collector Hatch's precaution
in refusing a clearance to the steamer Phil
adelphia, doubtless frustrated the expedi
ton.

The slave trade in the New York E.
piSc0Dai Convention.

The Episcopal Church Of the North, to
its honor be it said, has always kept aloot
from the anti-slavery agitation. At the
late Convention of the Diocese of New York,
Mr. John Jay presented q petition, setting
forth that the African slave trade had been
re-opened. and is now being prosecuted
from the port of New York, within the
limits and jurisdiction Ct that diocese, which
he moved to refer to q committee Of three
clergymen and three lawyers, to report at
the next Convention. The reading Of -
petition Was received with 'great laughs
ter, and the resolution, which seems to have
had no friends except the mover, was amir
flilatcd by universal emo"

was read from Mr.. Fisk, Chief Engineer, Of
the Covington and Ohio Railroad asking for
an investigation of certain charges made a.
gainst him by writer in the Wing news

the letter, but declined to institute the pro-

preferred properly, and also for the reason
that part Of said charges were known to the
members Of the Board to be untrue. The

The conflict between the News and Wing,

sanguinary finale, appears to have been in

this cessation but hollow truce, rather
than lasting peace, and this opinion is

THE GREAT EASTERN The Norfolk Ar
gus, in speaking Of this monster says:
There is probability that this masnif-
cent specimen Of naval architecture will Wis
it our waters this fall and the thought has
been expressed by well-informed men that
circumstances may force the monster ship
to choose the Chesapeake as its Western
point Of trade. What were considered the
wild imaginings Of A. Dudley Mann may
yet be realized.
We have been amused lately at the zeal
which these who at first opposed the invi-
tation of the Great Eastern, have exhibited
in endeavoring~to get her here We are
glad, however, to see this union sentiment
on the part Of our people, and it assure us
that the Southern Argus was doing the
people service when it prevented the in
vitation from being smothered by the pres.
ent city fathers.

SHOCKING CASE OF BURIAL BEro
DEATH. The New Orleans Crescent tells a
shocking story about sexton in chat city
named Merit. The Crescent says:
He sent his men, few days ago, to bury
a poor man in grave at the back end of a
certain cemetery. After a short time, the
men came back to him, excited, saying that
they could not bury that man-that he was
sitting UP in his coffin. and swearing he
wasn't dead Merritt, in high indignation,
seized a spade and went back to the grave
himself, where, sure enough, he found his
customer sitting up and looking quietly a.
round him. But, determined on his wages
at all hazards, the sick man was buried any
how. He struggled and resisted as we'll as
he could, but few bats from the spade
soon settled him.
