Inc state OF Wisconsin Is becoming "aTve' with
bears. Strange it may to eastern ears is
undoubed fact that in many portions of the State the
bears have been driven by hunger into the settlements
till it is not safe for children to go to school without
protector. Our exchanges filled with accounts of
hunts, and hand to paw fights with Bruin throughout
Wolverinedom. The drouth caused the failure OF
'shack'' or "mast," and hence young pigs, bee
hives and little children called
Tor by these starving emgrants. The two
bears were sold in streets Monday, by two
brothers who killed them Sunday in Grant county
Wisconsin about three miles down the river from
McGregor
They beginning to appear in Iowa, travelling
SOUTH and several are reported killed in the adjoining
counties parents who send their children through
wooden roads paths to school, had better consider
that starved bear is not good company for them.--
On Sunday last, received by the kindness of NJ O.
Walkers driver, urge piece of splendid meat from
L. A. Doud, OF Clermont 1t most excellent eat
ing, both steak and roast gre the letter
panying the pre- ent, a matter of interest and As
proof OF gratefuness for Mr.. Douds remembrance
FouNrAIN SALOON, Clernont, Oct. ID, 1859.
Dear Cot.-Ths piece of meat is part Of Bear that
We killed last evening about o'clock oneand a-half
miles from town. lie las been hanging about here
week or more and the whole town has been in q flu
ror OF excitement about him. Companies have been
out all the whie day and night, for three days Last
evening, concluded to try my hand, and went to MIR.
Warner where he had been the night before and rob-
bed beehive. laid in wait for him, and Brun soon
made his appearance. when put load of mine buck
shot into him, and gentleman named Sanborn shot
him at the same time with "A rifle. Bruin ran about
80 rods and "caved - he weighed 35s pounds, and
measured feet from tip to tip. Our shots brought
the whole army of hunters to the spot, (about 20
then) and We brought him into town preceded by the
Brass Band, and we had Hurrah generally.
Yours, in haste. l.. A. DOUD.
p. S.-(By the Ed. Of the Times)-We'll bet the
price of hi skin that the wake of that bear was as de-
structive to Lager and other comforts, any event
that ever occurred at Clermont!

cident in shingle factory, at Union, Erie

the band and he W. S in the act of mere d g
it, when it caught fast to the revolving shaft,
when in instant the terrible catastrophe
was wrought. lie was whirled twice round
the shaft, when his arms gave way from his
body, and he was thrown sixteen feet on a
pile Of shavings, knocking down scantling
post which stood in the way. The mutila-
ton was awfu.-hiS arm, shoulder blade,
about half of his colar-bonc, and even some
of the cords of his neck running up into the
structure of the head, were tornc away, ey-
posing and rendering visible his stomach and
vitals. And wonderful to relate, he still
lives!

4 MAN "MELTED" TO DEATH.-James
Doyle blacksmith by trade, died in Chica-
go last Friday, under the following circum-
stances, as detailed by the Times of that
city:
He was an extremely athletic person in
appearance, and was considered by his fellow
workmen as possessing remarkable degree
of strength,,and bodily vigor. On Thursday
he worked in the shop as usual until 8
o'clock, when he went to supper in as good
health as usual. After supper he complain
ed of extreme heat, and continued to COM
plain until Il o'clock when he went to bed.
At three o'clock in the morning his room
mate awoke and found him breathing his
last. A post-mortem examination revealed
no unusual appearance of the body, except a
remarkable and unusual qantity of adIpose
matter. BY over-work and the heat of the
day he was literally melted dorm. The coro-
ner's jury found this to be the cause of his
death.
