Women are often poor judges of
men. II man is simply agreeable
to a woman, she is apt to invest him
with attributes which belong more to
herself than TO him. An inexpericn-
ced and generous minded girl who is
all sincerity and affection herself, is in
great danger Of attributing to every
man who approaches her with a show
of tenderness and love, the natural
truth and sincerity Of her own heart.

ANOTHER BEAR knLED.-Last week
a bear was reported to be in the
nclghborhuOd Of Nottingham, and a
number Of citizens sailed ont to kill
him. Before they came up with bruin
he was discovered by farmer, enter
ing corn-iicld. The farmer thought
he would have the honor of killing the
bear himself, and loading a shot gun
with buck-shot, mounted his horse and
started after bruin, not waiting for
the others to come up. He soon over
took the bear, and fired at him from
his horse, but missed and his horse
became frightened and threw him off,
The bear Immediately attacked him,
and in the sCufllc the man was thrown
down, and the bear clinchcd him by
the arm. His dog which happened to
be along, now attacked the bear with
great tcrOcity which caused him to re-
lease his hold on his master, and gave
him a chance to regain his feet 4:
this undoubtedly saved the mans life.
BY a lucky chance the farmer succeed
ed IN dealing the bear blow between
the eyes, with the butt of his gun
breaking his skull. The dog was 50
badly hurt that he died the same
day " est LHioa Reciep.

The InSurreCtiOn.

We are sorry to sec in the Demo

As a matter Of course, the violent
partizan prints will will seek to make
the most Of the affair. But we see no
reason for snpposing that it had any

justice be held responsible for it. 1t
seems to have been the work of a sin !

personal wrongs, and insanely seeking

On the 9th of March. 1852, an act was
approved, entitled "An act to authorize the
formation of companies FIR the detection
and apprehension Of horse thieves and 9TH
er felons. and defining their powers.
Under this law, associations have been
formed, that have arrested and punished
individuals, without bringing them for tri-
al before the ordinary and legal tribunals
of the State. 1t is better that every per-
son. charged with the violation of tho law,
should be arraigncd before. and tricl by the
courts Of justice. l recommend to you
the repeal Of tina. law. There would be
no necessity at any time for honest men to
form associations for the purpose of arrest
ing and furnishing criminals. if the State
and counties made sufficient allowance
to indemnify their police officers in arrest
/ ing and bringing TO trial those who viola
tel the law. You cannot expect the sher'
ifs and other police officers will devote
their time, and expend' their money te
bring those who violate the law before .ht
tribunals of justice, unless they receive
reasonable compensation. While this class
Of officers arc unpaid we may expect tina
an indignant people, who have been out
ragged BY criminals, will disregard the law
and punish without authority those whom
they believe have done wrong.
Section 2 Of article of the Constitution
of the intel States requires that "a per
