CATCHING BEAR.-On Wednesday evening
a. week, Mr.. George Hess, of Lawrence town
ship, set trap ina cornficll OF Harrison Mil
Ter, near Clearfeld creek, to catch a bear,
which had been committing depredations on
cornfieids in the neighborhood, having des-
troyed about 40 bushels for one man. On
visiting the trap on Thursday morning the
bear was on the ground, detained, no doubt,
against his will. Some or 10 persons soon
assembled, and were much delighted at the
prospect of oiling their mouths with ssbar's
greas." Bruin, however, not much admiring
their rejoicing, concluded to be off, if possi-
BILE. In his anger lie soon bit off sapling,
some four inches thick, to which the trap was
chained, and commenced making tracks. The
trap being fast to his foot, impeded his pro-
gress, but coming to log, he soon rid HIM
self OF it, by beating it to pieces, and then
went on his way rejoicing. Nearly halt the
persons present had guns, but the 'sbar fever''
had sieZed upon them so firmly that neither
thought of shooting, until Bruin had made
good his escape, most likely to feast in some
other cornfeld, thanking his stars for his mar
row escape from being eat by hungry men.

II is common observation that there are more
sufferers from debility, among Americans, than can
be found among any other civilized nation. The
is obvious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants of the body in the absorbing pur
suits of business In all eases, ordinary medicines
can do no good. WHAT'S required is just such a
tonic and invigorator Ord. Hostetter has given
to the world. in his ceicbrGtcE Bitters. The weak
and nervous deni5en of the counting house. the ex-
hausted toiler upon the shop-eeard, and the pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, have found
wonderful regenerator in the -:Btters, and prefer
it to more pretentous, but less efficacious medi-
cines. But it should not be forgotten that the
gent which is magical in its influence upon a
frame which is merely dcbilitated. is equally pow
erful in assisting nature TO cxpel the most terrible
forms of disease. no would not give it a tral?

Our intelligent readers know, that according 10
the rules of evidence, the burthcn of proof is al

Col. Flood to prove a negative; contingent upon
which, it would magndnimousiy Withdraw the

by the other whom he consulted, that Col. Flood
had no agency whatever, in procuring the ennis

A Good Mans Exit.

Sure the last end
OF the good man is peace. How calm his exit
Night dews fall not gently to the ground
Nor weary, worn-out winds expire soft.
Behold him in the evening tide u life,
\ life well spent. whose early care it was
His riper years should not upbraid his green
BY unp.rccived DEGREES he wears away:
Yet, like the sun, seems large at his setting.
High in his faith and hopes, look how he reaches
After the prize in view , and like bird
That's hamper'i. struggles hard to get away:
Whilst the glad gates of light are wide expanded
To let new glories in, the first fair fruits
OF the fast coming harvest. Then, Oh then
Each earth-b born joy grows vile, or disappears,
SIIrunk to thing Of naught Oh how he longs
To have his passport signed, and be dismissed
'Tis done 4, and now he's happy the glad soul
Has not a wish uncrowned IBLAIR.

Eden is my Home.

Oh have roamed through many lands,
A stranger to delight;
Not friendships hopes. nor loves sweet smiles
Could make my pathway bright,
Till on the skv a star arose,
And lit nights sable dome.
Oh steer my bark by that sweet star,
For Eden is my home.
oh , Eden is my place of rest,
| long 10 reach its shore,
To shake these troubles from my breast,
And weep and sigh 10 more;
To that fair land my spirit flies,
And angels bid me come
Oh steer my bark DER Jordon's wave,
For Eden is my home.
Oh take me from this world of woe
To my sweet home above,
Were tears of sorrow never flow,
And all the air is love;
My sister spirits wait for me.
And Jesus bids me come
On steer my bark to that bright land,
For Eden is my home.
