An Incident In the Early History OF
Ohm.

Deeming anything concerning the settling of
ONO to be OF interest, take pleasure in hand
ing you the following account of the narrow
escape of woman and her two children from
the claws of bear, which occurred in the
vicinity of this city. give it you as IL was
related to me by Mrs. Mary Ann Baxter, q
resident of Cincinnati, and who is descendant
OF the woman that escaped.
Mr.. VIM. Wasson emierated to Ohio about
1895, and settled about one mile above the
mouth OF O'Bannion Creek that empties into
the Little Miami, in Clermont County, by Love-
land, where he built cabin and cleared some
ground for corn. After planting the corn, he,
ono day, concluded to dig for water under the
bank of the creek, as the water was not good
near his cabin. When he was about to start
his wife told him he had better take the rife
with him (the Indians being troublesome in
those days), and she would go and drive away
the pigeons from the cornHeld-for pigeons used
to pull up the corn in early times. She took
her two youngest children with her-one was
in her arms, and the other, three years ole, ,
walked by her side to the plowed ground.
She left the oldest standing near, as Il could
not walk well over rough ground. She hap
pened, however, TO look, soon after she left the
child, in that direction, when she discovered
what, at first sight, she thought large black
dog, but the next moment she saw IL was @
large bear, and it was making directly TO the
child She screamed, and ran to tho child, and
got to it just as the bear did, and prevented it
-fsom devouring the child, by fighting II as well
as she could. The bear turned on the woman,
and commenced pulling at her clothes, when her
husband heard her screams, and ran up the
branch Of the crock, when he saw, to his dis
may, the danger his wife and children were in
from the enormous bear. He fred his rife and
wounded the bear, wbereupcu it left, which was
miracle, as they most always fight, am
| told, when wounded. The man not having any
more balls nodded, hammered piece of lead
into a sort Of one, and pursued the bear, and
shot it, feeling, no doubt, very thankful for the
escape Of his wife and children Such were
tho dangers in the first settlement of the West

A CASE OF IYsAYITY.--A colored woman,
named Jane Lerean, was before the Probate
Court on Saturday for the purpose Of an inquiry
as to her condition of mind. She was brought
up by an officer of the Ninth-street Station
house, where she had been confined during the
previous night. She appeared to be undor con-
tinual apprchonsions that parties were lying in
wait to take her life, and was desirous to be
sent to the Jail for protection. She could not
tell her age, but thought it ranged somewhere
between thirty and fifty years; and in answer
to an inquiry as to the time of her residence
in this county, said that she came here from
Virginia about the time of General HarrisOn's
election. The Court sent her to the place ap-
propriated for colored lunatics in the Jail.

Pixies OPERA H0USE.-The sale of seats
which began at this elegant musical temple on
Saturday was quite brisk, and will be continued
this morning at nine o'clock. The opera, which
will Tomorrow night inaugurate at once the
edifce and the season, is Flotow's Martha
Where music is most worshiped, this work is
favorite, and where Madame Colson has ap-
peared as the "Lady Henriette," she has won
golden opinions from all sorts of people. Be-
sides, there is the petite and piquant Patti
Strakosch as ''Nanci," and Brignoli as "Li-
onel," and the large-chested Junca as "Plun-
ket." Why should not such an opera and
such cast upon the opening night of the finest
Opera House in the country, fill at the same
time every seat in the establishment, and every
pocket of the manager? We are confident it
will, and again advise all who would hear and
see 1t, to secure their seats early this morning.
WOODS THEATER.-Spectacles at this
establishment have given way to the legitimate;
and tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Waller appear in
Webster's terrible tragedy of The Duchess of
Mulf. Mrs. Waller is one of the finest actresses
at present in the country, and in tho inten sely
tragical character she assumes tonight, she is
great. We notice some additions to the com
pany which were, we are compelled to state
much needed. Among others we notice the
names of 7. B. Douglas, Mr.. Sydney Smith,
Mr.. Wesley. The performance will conclude
with new farce entitled Nothing to Nurse. q.
NATIONAL THEATER, The engagement
of Barry Sullivan closed with good house ON
Saturday night. This evening Miss Vanden-

POLICE CoURT.-At the Police Court on Sat
urday the case of the youthful burglars-who,
our readers will remember, were accused of
having entered the jewelry establishment of H.
g. Wray, No. 141 Main st.--came up for hear
ing. The defendants, Anthony Ahl, Kneeland
Hill, Alexander Biermann, John Koch and
Benjamin Crawford, are nero boyS--the eldest
not being more than seventeen years of age.
A number of witnesses were examined, who
testified to having received certain pieces Of
jewelry from these lads; and it also appeared
in evidence that two of them had kept look
out while two others had effected an entrance
into one of the windows of the store and stolen
the goods. Judge Pruden thought it would be
best to make witness of Ahl, and to this end,
although it did not appear that he was con-
cerned in the theft, he was held in bonds to the
amount of $500, while Hills wero fixed at
S4OO, and the balance in $500, each, for their
appearance at the next session of the Court of
Common Pleas,
The parents of the boys were in the Court
room, and what seemed to them the inevitable
fate of their children, forced large tears of
grief from eyes which had erst grown brighter
ut the sound of their voices, and from hearts
which had oft, no doubt, beat high in expecta-
ton of glorious future for their once innocent
offspring.
W. H. King, who had been charged by Geo.
Foster with having passed upon him q fve-
4 dollar counterfeit bill, on the North Western

Extensive Fire,

Last night, about eight o'clock, FIRE broke
out in some one-story frame buildings situated
on the south side of Front street, east of Pike,
which consumed them, together with most of
their contents. The following are the names
of the parties who have met with losses, and
our own estimate of the amounts:
James Bindlay's carpenter-shop, which was
situate next to John Kline's planing-mill, and
contained a considerable quantity of lumber
and work ready to be put together, wholly de-
stroyed. Loss $4,000.
The block and tackle factory Of VIM. Shaw,
situated next west Of the above. Loss not
moro than $500, and fully covered by insur-
ance.
Philip Hcrschauer, boilor-maker. Office de-
stroycd. His loss is upon the buildings only
three of which he owned. Loss 81 900.
The Office Of Lucian b. Robb, which con-
tanned but few barrels of lubricating oil and
whisky. Loss $500. Insured for the full
amount.
Thompson's carpenter-shop, situated next
door to the south east corner of Pike and Front
streets. Loss not more than 5000.
1t is thought the fire was the work of an in
cendory, and originated in the carpenter-shopo Of
Mr.. Bindlay. The buildings were quite old
and somewhat dilapidated, hence the loss is
comparatively very slight. The Fire Depart
ment was promptly on tho ground, and to their
exertions may be given the credit of having
prevented disastrous conAagratiOn; for il
by, the loss would have been 100000 instead
of s.. 900.

RoBBERY.-A man named VIM. ThOroman,
a resident of Jacksonville, in this State, while
stopping at tavern in the upper part Of Broad
way, on Friday night, was robbed of an over
coat, pocket-boOk, which contained about ff-
teen dollars in money and note for one hum
dred and ninety-one dollars, and a few Other
articles of minor value. Upon this hint he
got drunk, and was locked up in the Station
house, thus filing his cup of misery to thu
brim. He VOWS mover to come to the city again
and we presume he will keep his word.

ALLEGED CASE OF CONsTUPRATIoE.-A mar
ried woman, Hennuta Depper, went before
Justice John McFall, on Saturday last, and
charged an individual named VIM. Tuck
er with having made an attempt to vic.
late her person. The evidence was contra
dictory, and initiated considerably against the
woman, for it was said by one of the witnesses
that he had seen her at house of ill-fame
that she had been, and was still, in the habit o.
selling her virtue and favors to any person who
had the bad taste and sufficient sum of money
to purchase them. In spite of this testimony
however, Tucker was held in $500 bail, to an
swer the charge before higher Court.

CASE OF A. B. LATTA versus fHAwK.-At
the opening of the U. S. Circuit Court on Sat-
urday morning, Judge Leavitt charged the jury
in the case of A. B. Latta vs. Abol Shawk, for
the infringement of a patent for steam hre-en-
gines, which had been before the Court for
nearly two weeks. Taft & Perry and Fisher
& Leo appeared for the plaintiff, and Judge
Coffin for the defendant.
The following from the charge Of Judge
Leavitt to the jury will show our readers the
cause Of the action against Shawk. The Judge
remarks, ..
The patent in controversy, in this case, is
not for new machine, but for the improve
| ment of an old one. The patentee claims that
| by combination of the old machinery, he has
succeeded in producing new and useful result
| This combination is undoubtedly patentable.
As to its novelty, it is always presumed from
the patent itself that the invention is new, and
if party sued for infringement would avail
| himself Of the fact of want of such novelty, it
| is incumbent upon him to prove it, by giving a
proper notice to the plaintiff and prevent sur
prise at the trial.
The question of Infringement Is the material
/
| of proof is on the plaintiff; he is bound to show
that his exclusive privilege has been invaded.
Itappears that, in 1842, patent was granted
| to a man named Lesh, and others, for an i'm
provement in coiled tubular boiler. Expert
ments were tried by the patentee in the pres
ence of Mr.. Latta and with his assistance, by
which it was clearly proved that this boiler
would not answer the purpose for which it was
designed; and it was entirely abandoned. The
| l. ladf atphin otf nhf fos &C he
| Lesh boiler, is no evidence of a want Of nov
city in tho invention for which he subsequently
| obtained a patent 1t is not unreasonable to
| suppose that, in the interval between 1842 and
1852, his mind was occupied with the subject
of so perfecting this tubular boiler as to make
it effective. In 1852 he fled his careat-de-
scribing his ideas upon this point, so far as
then matured. In 1858 he fled his first appli.
cation for patent for a number of improve.
ments specified therein, among which were
those now in controversy. The defendant alst
procured a patent for an improvement some
what similar, in 1858. This is prior in date Il
Lattas patent, but it has no priority over il
for the invention dates from the filing of tn
cauedt in 1852. ....
In the winter of 1854-5, the defendant, Abe
, Shawk, constructed an engine called the "Y oun
America" which is claimed contained the i'm
provements patented to Latta, and therefor
nfringed his patent. This engine was publiol
exhibited at Columbus, and other places, an
was subsequently sold in Philadolphia fo
$4,000. ..
The jury, after couple of hours absenc'
returned a verdict for the plaintiff, assassin
the damages at S.. 1t is understood that o
; their first ballot the jury stood eleven to on
for the plaintiff. There was no dispute as I
damages, the object being to test the questio
of infringement as to the Shawk engines.
motion for a new trial will be made th
morning by Judge Coffin.
