BEAR SToRIEs.-Fpr some weeks past
bears have been quite common i'll this coun'
" as well as other parts OF the State. We
have heard Of several adventures which DIFF
ferent persons have had with them. On
Wednesday night last, AS Mr.. Thomas Mar
shall one of our ConStableS, was riding in
the country, his horse showed signs of alarm
and was Immediately assailcd by y bear,
which, left the marks of his claws upon the
horses hip. Mr.. NJ. dashed oft at full speed,
but the bear kept up with him for Il con-
siderable distance. Mr. James X. Paris,
who lives about two miles from town, went
into his meadow Friday evening, 10 feed
some cattle, and found there u bear, which
pursued him to the house. Before Mr.. =.
could get a weapon, Bruin had turned and
made off The next morning, Mr. WomelS-
dorf encountered the same bear, it is sup
posed, and with his dog between his feet,
stood facing the enemy for some time
Another bear was seen on the farm of Mr.
L. r. Waddcll Friday evening, about the
time OF Mr.. Paris adventure and on Sun
day morning it was pursued on the adloln-
ing farm of Mr.. jefferson Kinney, but made
its escape The most serious adventure,
however happened to gentleman, whose
name we have forgotten, near Mt. Tory Fur
mace He was out hunting, and discovering
a bear up n tree fired pistol at him. The
bear came down, and assailing his adversa-
nv threw him on the ground and scratched
his face severely. For 4 few moments the
hunter thought his life in danger, but final
ly got hold of the bear and turning him, re-
covered his footing. The animal then took
to tree again and was shot by persons who
came up-.SiauHton Spectator.

1t is full time for the good people of Bal
tinore to unite upon some plan to save their
city from the reproach brought upon 1t by
the election riots of the last few years.
They ought to put down the rowdies and
ruf6ans for surely it must be in the power
of the respectable citizens, to outnumber, as
we'll as to control, the disorderly. 1t can
not be that large city like Baltimore is I'M
able to protect itself. We speak not as par
tzans-for there are probably rowdies, IN
both parties, in Baltimore-but as desiring
that no such example should be tolerated in
this country by any party.

STEAM CAR BRAKE-The Importance of
the subject, and the greater personal safety
of more efficient brakes than those now in
use, render the communication in another
column q matter Of general interest We
have only to say, that all railroads are un-
der both neral and legal obligation to
protect the traveller by the re'y best known
precautions. The facts stated by Mr. Mar
shall should be thoroughly examined; and
every test should be applied to this new
brake. There is no danger in its use--be-
cause it does not dispense with the present
brake, but acts with it; SO that until long
experience has proved its safety and rella-
bility, the brakesman will still continue at
his wheel. Ultimately no train will have
more than one brakeman, as the engineer
can do all brake duty on the journey, better
without assistance. We are glad the direc-
tors of the Manassas load acted SO promptly
on the facts thus certified to them.

What will Garibaldi and Kossuth say to
this peaee2 Is the question that occurs to
every one in considering the terms and the
manner of the ilI-omened treaty. Of the
former We shall probably hear by some
act expressive of his sentiments. : r.
OF Kossuth we have private information,
which, as it is, we give to our readers. M.
Kossuth's family were preparing to pro-
ceed to Italy, and were to have departed
to-day, but the news of the peace treaty ar
rested, their preparations. On Thursday
evening they received q ,elegraphic des-
patch from m. Kossuth announcing his
safe arrival in Switzerland. He thus seems
to haze lost no time an lsdyiag Italy an
mediately. on Meineussef the peace treaty,
and so.escaped a. conference with Emperor
of Kaiser. What has become of the Hun
,garian Committee assembled at Genoa
does not appear, and the elaborate scheme
ofreyolutionizing Hungary has of course
disappeared with the cessation Of war.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT
The construction of the Washington Ma
tional Monument, after suspension Of sew
aeral years is to be resumed under the di-
lrection of Lieut.. J.zC. Ives. of the Topo-
graphical Engineers. 1t is proposed to
request the Postmasters throughout the
country to give aid to the enterprise, by
placing boxes in their respective offices for
the reception of contributions, and for
wardiug thereturns to Washington. How
ever Insignificant, the amounts may be,
they will swell to an important aggregate
when collected from 10000 post offices
throughout the United States. A few
cents month, transmitted regularly by
each, would suffice, in few years, 10 raise
the shaft to its intended height. The
Postmaster General in letter dated July
26th, heartily concurs in tie movement.-
