Bear stories.

For some weeks past bears have been quite
common in this county, as well as other parts
of the State. We have heard of several adven
lures WHICH different persons have had with
them. On Wednesday night last, as Mr.. Thomas
Marshall, one of our Constables, was riding in
the country, his horse showed signs OF alarm
and was immediately assaulted by bear, which
left the marks of his claws upon the horses hip
Mr.. NJ. dashed off at tull speed, but the beal
kept up with him for considerable Distance
Mr.. James r. Paris, who lives about two miles
from town, went into his meadow Friday even
ing to feed some cattle, and found there a. bear
which pursued him to the house. Before Mr.
P. could get weapon, Bruin had turned and
made off, The next morning, Mr.. Womelsdor
encountered the same bear, 1t is supposed, and
with his dog between his feet, stood facing the
enemy for some time. Another bear was seer
ON the farm of Mr.. /. r. Waddell Friday even
ing, about the time of Mr.. Paris adventure and
on Sunday morning it was pursued by some
persons on the adjoining farm of Mr. Jefferson
Kinney, but made his escape. The most seri-
Gus adventure, however, happened to gentle
man, whose name we have forgotten, near Mt
TORY Furnace. He was out hunting, and dis
covering bear up tree fred pistol at him.
The bear came down, and assailing his adverse
~ threw him to the ground and scratched hi:
face severely. For few moments the hunter
thought his life in danger, but finally got hold
of the bear and turning him recovered his foot
ing. The animal then took to tree again and
was shot by persons who came up.

| ARREST OF OOOK.--A uispdICu iloln Snon
bersburg, Pa, on the 24th, says: THE noto--
rious Captain Cook, ofthe insurrectionary banc
of outlaws under Qssswa talnie Brown, hiss at
last been captured beyond q doubt and has been
fully committed to jail to await the requlsition
of the Governor of Virginia.
"He was brought to this town last evening"
There is no doubt of bis identity, as Captains
commission with Browns signature and Cooks
name was found on his person. He came down
from the moutains TO get provisions, having,
from his haggard appearance, suffered greatly
from want and exposure.
HE admits that three others of Browns par
ty are in the mountains, on the strength OF
which information parties are now ont in search
of the fugitives.
"Cook had also on his person parchment
memorandum formerly attached to Mr.. Washing
toms pistol, and says the pistol is 10 his valise,
which he left in the mountains. He was fully
armed when discovered, and attempted to make
resistance, but, being exhausted, was soon cap
tured, at point about eight miles from this
place."
Gov. Parker gave orders Immediately that
Cook and Hazlet the latter in prison at Car
Isle and supposedto be one of the conspirators)
should be delivered up to the authorities OF Vir-
giDa. :,
One of the men who captured Cook-Mr.
Fitzhugh-is said to be near relative of Gerrit
Smith.
Mr.. John N. Stearns, alawyer Of williamsburg,
Long Island, has written a letter to the N. Y.
Times giving sketch of Cook. He was born
in Haddon. Conn, about the year 1888, of highly
respectable parsntage. His general education
was good, SO that he had been successful
teacher before he came of age. 10 1854 he en-
tered Mr.. Stearn's Office to study law, but had
no taste for it. He had great passion for min
eralogy, and for fire arms-was first rate shot.
He never acquired the most simple elements of
legal knowledge, but could throw OF verses for
lady's album with facility. His department was
amiable and strictly correct. Did not exhibit
auy special interest in Abolit;onism. In 1866
he went to Kansas and his friends lost sight of
him and thought he was dead. 81 can well
conceive" says Mr.. S., from my knowledge of
the character of Cooks mind, how that without
forecast, and even without purpose of crime,
he would become the parasite of the first leader
in q romantic adventure that might solicit his

Cook was brought to Charlestown on Friday.
He saws if Brown had taken his advice one thou

A JupeE ON MATRIMoNY.-Judge Stump, Of
the Baltimore City Court, has sent woman to
Jail for one year, aud her husband for year and
one month, because the woman was excessively
cruelt child of her husband by former wife.
The Judge Inflicted the heavier punishment upon
the husband because, be said, he had no bust
ness 10 marry the woman anyhow. and having
married her, should have put a stopt her pro-
ceedings. His Honor declared it reprehensible
practice Of parties with children marrying, and
thus breeding disoord in their own families; IL

WASHINGTON RUMoRs dispatch from Wash.

WASHINGTON RUMoRs. dispatch from Wash.
ington on Saturday says:
Inc last mail from England brought advices
nom distinguished sources respecting the present
unsecured condition of affairs in Europe, by
wnlcn IL appears that none can foresee how the
dlthcuities attendant on the Italian question can
be settled, or what will be the result of tie
Zurich Conference. 1t is evident that the va.
rious sovereigns are alarmed, being apprehen.
sive OF general war. England, it is said, has
no power to depend on excepting Germany, and,
being favorable to the reform movement in
Italy, she knows not how to act between the
two, as she is fearful of losing the friendship of
the one, in the advocacy Of the cause of The
other. Russia, who, since the Crimean war
had had no more continental alliances, awaits
events before coming to decision as TO what
part she will take, and, with view of acting
intelligently, the Emperor has ordered his Mic
listers from the principal courts to join him at
warsaw in order to give him ample information
on the state OF the respective countries to which
they are automatically assigned.
FROM prudential reasons more than usual
caution seems to be observed in official quarters
In concealirg from the public the present con-
dition of the San Juan Island; and hence the
contradictory statements prevalent concerpnR il.
Reports prevail here that acquisitions will be
made for certain siders and abettors of the
Harper's Ferry conspirators. But the rumors
cannot be traced to reliable sources.

pondent of the National Intelligencer, in bis let

The "New York Democratic Vigilant Associs-
ton" have issued an addressto their fellow cit
liens. They avail themselves of the foray of
Brown upon the slumberiDg people of Hsrper's
Ferry, and have undertaken the edifying task OF
giving the voters IAN outline of its history"-
This they do for the very disinterested purpose
of enabling the people to "ponder over the truths
it teaches before voting at the coming election"
The philosophical deduction to be derived from
all this Is that those who are incapable of FORM
ing Judgment for themselves must vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t is impossible not to see,
amidst the mass of verbiage 10 this colocation of
matter. already before the public that. however
earnest these reform Democrats are In their de-

In reply to questions put to him, he said he
was still suffering some pain about the left kid
new. He said he was treated with all humanity,
and bore testimony to the efficiency of the vol
unteer soldiers. He thanked Capt Sim for the
manly and truthful manner in which he had tes-
tilted here, and said he would always recoiIecf
him for his many noble traits of character
During the conversation Brown occasionally
played with the little children of the jalor, who
were present. He remarked that he had foogot
ON the frontiers in the war of 1912 and during
his life had endured many hardships and knew
how TO bear them. Stevens was suffering much
but is still getting better. He shook all the CONS
pany by the band.
Coppee said he was prepared to bear his fate
like man. and told Capt. Sim that he should
want him to testify on his trial, which Sim
promised to do. All stated that they were well

counry. mostly farmers, some of them owning q
few slaves and others none. At o'clock the
Court adjourned.
Brown walked into Court Thursday morning,
but on reaching the bar laid down at full length
on his cot. Mr. Bolts read telegrsphic des-
patch from Akron, Ohio, stating that insanity
was hereditary in the prisoners family. lie
stated, however, that the prisoner did not put in
that plea. Mr.. Bolts having concluded his state
ment, Capt. Brown then raised himself up in bed
and said: II will add, if the Court will allow nee,
that l look upon it as miserable artitice and
pretext of those who ought to take different
course in regard to me, if they took any ct all.
And view it with contempt, more than other
wise, as | remarked to Mr.. Green. Insane per-
sons may, so far as my experience goes have but
very little ability to judge OF their own insanity
and if am insane, OF course should think
knew more than all the rest of the world; but
do no; think so. ! am perfectly unconscious of in
sanity; and view with utter contempt, and
reject, so far as an capable, any attempt to in
terfere In my behalf on that SCORE"
Mr.. Bolts then renewed the request that time
be given for foreign counsel to arrive. 1t was
probable one would arrive that night. The ques'
ton was discussed by counsel, and decided ad-
versely by the Court.
The Jury were then sworn, and while the in
dictment was read the prisoner was permitted to
remain PROSTATE. Mr.. Harding opened the case
for the Commonwealth; Mr.. Green and Mr..
Bolts followed in behalf Of the prisoner; and MIR.
Hunter concluded.
The testimony of DR.. Starry, Conductor
Phelps aud Col. Washington was taken, and at 7
O'CLOCK i isA Court adjourned till Friday. Orders
ware giveO 70 tho ."'lors to shoot the prisoners
if any attempts at rescue were lu..--
The Court met at II O'Clock Friday, when
Brown was led over from the jail walking, but
very feeble. He laid down on the cot as on
Thursday.

having come on to act as counsel for Brown, was
admitted by the Court, but announced that for
