A NEW WESTINGHOUSE. We learn

and good mechanic.
The Consregationalists have a splen-
did house of worship, bat aside from
this, the accommodations for religions
worship in our village are very limited
indeed; and the need gilmore and better
accommodations has been Ion. felt
The Baptsts in this village and vicinity
have essaved once or twice to build a

failure did not proceed so much from a
real lack Of pecuniary ability, as t did
Of concentration OF strength and uni

came indifference; and lastly, total
abandonment Of the idea of ever bail :

A Bear! A Bear /!

After much tribulation and an un-
comfortable long chase of some fifteen
days, some of our citizens succeeded in
killing and bringing into town a bear,
a few days stree. We do not mean to
say that the bear was pursued for fifteen
days and nights, consecutively, by any
means. because each day during the pre-
liminary skirmishes, bruin's deadly enc
mics returned and reported progress
Bulletins were issued, giving the mos;
minute account of the progress of the
battle, aud the many minor casualties
attending the operations. One day
this poor besieged ursine enemy, was
riddled through and through, length
wise, by some unesrnS bullet; the next
day an equally disastrous result hap.
pcned to him. and he was riddled
through and throush h, crosswise. The
next day some fortunate hunter planted
leaden bullet plump through his neck,
causing the blood to squirt for many feet
at each Aperture made by the bullet;
then he was shot through the legs, and
through the back bone; and finally. he
had more lives taken from him, than the
world awards to a cat. To back up all
this history, it was alleged that this was
a monster of bear, loamins up in size
to compare with some young elephant.
Bat truin would not stand ali this war
fare Of lcalen bullets and the lively
tongue. and he surrendered manfuly to
w. Clay, with this proviso; that his ele.
phantne proportions SO literally award
ed him. should be dis-avowed; and the
report of his many MORTAL wounds,
should be contraletod. To prove the
one false. he was weighed and lq0 lbs.
