Mr.. E. E. Boynton furnishes us an
account of bear fight between a bear
and two children Of Mr.. Jacob B. Nos
singer, in the town of Forest, Bad AK
Co., Wis, about 25 miles from this
place. The account is as follows:
"Mr. Messenger and his two children,
a boy about niue years of age and a
girl of eleven, were out in the woods
digging ginseng, when the children got
separated from their father. Presently
Mr.. n. heard a scream, and immediate

horror, he fonnd his little boy lying on

his children home. The boy WIS fright

The Twilight Hour
BY HENRY w. LoEGFELLow.

Between the dark and the twilight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the days occupations
THAI is known as the Childrens Hour
l hear in the chamber above me,
The patter Of little feet,
The sound of door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my stndy l see in the lamplght,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice and laughing Alegre,
And Edita with golden hair
A whisper, on then a silence,
Yet l know by their merry eyes,
They are plotting and planning together
70 take me by surprise.
A sndden rush from the stairway,
sudden raid from the hall
By ;hree doors left unguarded
They onte: my castle wall!
They climb up iuto my turret
o er the arms and back of my chair;
If try to escape they surround me,
They seem to be every where.
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till think Of the Bishop of Bingin
In his Mouse Tower on the Rhine
Do you think, 0 blue.eyed bandtti,
Because you have scaled the WALL
Such ali old mustache as am
Isnot match for you all?
have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put down into the Dungeons,
In the round tower ofmy heart.
and there will keep you forever,
Yes, forever and a day,
Till the wall hall crumble to ruin,
And mOulder in dust away

ATTEMPT AT SUrcIDE.-A young man in
this city few evenings ago attempted to
shuttle off this "mortsl coil" by takisg laud-
anum, and all because his gal 10 = playful
mood said, "Tom, have been thinking about
it, and if l was in the habit OF getting mar
ried l would have you butts | am not
in this habit, you must consider our e.
gagement at an end" This was too much
for Tom, and he drained the vial of its con.
tents, and said "l'm goner. Good bye be.
loved but cruel hearted Molly" Miss Mol
ly seeing what her trifing had effected, beg
ged Tom not to die. 40 Tom, don't die, /
was only joking if you please don't die !"
Tom all this while was getting no better feet,
and the Doctor was speedily sent for, and
was presently in the dying mans ROOM
Then Miss Molly began. go Doctor, save
Tom! DR.. did you bring your stomach
things with you? Go to pumping directly
All, Tom Tom Tom will have you
Yes l will ; and don't care who hears me.
Tom, l always loved you, but for Nancy
who told me you would love me better if
should trife with you little. Tom don't
die, and I'll 60 with you to the end OF the
world" Tom was bad off in reality, and
the DIR. being placed in such an unexpected
position, hardly knew whether to laugh him
self to death or let the fatal drug work its
way upon the patients vital spark. Miss
Molly seeing the tsrdiness of the physician,
thus addressed him "You are a pretty
Doctor, truly. You have pumped FIVE times
as much laudanam IS Tom took GU. OF other
peoples stomach, and they didn't die and
do begin. Up now and 20 to work. I'D let
you cram it down my throat if it would only
cure Tom. q Lord. don't let Tom die il
anybody is obliged to dis here tonight, be
pleased Lord to take tns good for nothing
DR.. who don't care " no dies, so he, like =
fool, can sit there and laugh around the bed
OF my poor, dear, dying Tom."
The Doctor now, by q powerful effort, re
strained his busting sides-introdueed the
stomach pump and Tom got relief. The
couple will be married soon, of which fact
we will in due time advise our readers.

The MARKErs.-rhe late holidays had
hardly passed when the cold weather laid an
icy embargo apon almost all kinds of trade.
The dealers in grain have been almost nom
plussed for day or two, in consequence Of
the non arrival of Northern advices, and
business may be considered in statu quo since
last week; nevertheless, we note the arrival
of from thirty to forty thousand bushels OF
corn in the past three days, all of which
changed hands at Sc for yellow, and SO for
white.
Cotton. - Considerable cotton changed
hands week before last at from 10 to lOsIc,,
in anticipation OF the then approaching hol-
days, and the market was left almost bare :;
the receipts since thai time have been limited
and in the absence of the usual activity, we
may safely state the market firm at the quo
tations given above
Wheat. The market is bare, and the sup.
ply Tor sometime past unequal to the demand.
We quote from sales of small lots of Red this
week l25. There is enquiry for the article,
and we know consumers who have been COM
PEELED to purchase away from home to sup
ply their demand.
Peas-Of various kinds, are said to be in
demand, but we have seen Black Pens in the
market without buyer. They may be
quoted from last sales at 75c Stock 80, b.
f. ST 20.
Oats-We are not aware Of ANY unusual
activity in the market, the supply is equal to
The demand, and we quote at IS to 40c.
Dried Fluif-Apples are in constant de-
mand, the market is almost bare and the
supply unequal TO the demand. Peaches
peeled, are wanting and may be considered
firm at $4 per bushel of 40 lbs, unpeeled
So rs, while apples per bushe of 30 lbs are
firm at 81 SO with an upward tendency.
Peanuts fine supply liberal and sales at
this time light. Wequote at ST. to ST 20.
staves-W. y. Slaves and Heading are in
demand, and are firm at 43 and Soc, with an
upward tendency.
OF course, the tendency of the cold wealth
er will be to lessen the supply, and as that
falls off, the prices run up in ratio; indeed
as the matter cow stands, we are running
great isk of being cut of. from all supply;
and busiaess may, for short while, come 20
a dead stand We hope for the best how
ever, and it is possible that one or two days
more will see the Canal open, and trade once
more upon its active legs
There is this consolation, however, that
as port, ours it superior to all those North
of us; for while Baltimore and Philadelphia,
have been closed this week with the ice, we
have not seen piece in oar harbor as large
as our hand; nor do we lear it. There is
little danger of closing our harbor; nor does
the Oldest inhabitant remembe. of such a
thing LAYING been fairly done save once or
twice.
The arrival of Northern advices to-day,
will have the effect of giving more life and
activity to trade, and will increase business
transactions.

Look OUT FOR THE GUTrER.-We saw an
old lady and gentleman passing down Cove
street last evening about seven o'clock, who
were selecting their way with the utmost
caution. When they reached the .corner of
Cove and Avon streets, they attempted to
cross the gutter to get on the pavement,
near the Cage door, but the old lady was
about $50 averdupoise, and could not Jump
across.
"Come this way" said the old gent, "Pll
show you how to get along"
"Oh dear, how sippery, said the old lady
as she carefully followed the old gent in the
direction of Patton's store.
"Come, take hold my arm" said the gent,
and the old lady was about to seize him,
when down he ent into the gutter.
"Bres Cord" calculated the old lady as
she raised her eyes in holy horror at seeing
the form of her ancient and leige lord pros
trate in the snow and water which nearly
enveioped him Meanwhile, without the
slightest effort on her part TO extricat. hi IN
from his unexpected and uncomfortable pc
sition, she endeavered to pa around him;
selected, as she thought, the NEST solid pass
way, bat alas! for human calculations and
the inability of snow and water to uphold
such mass OF humanity the old lady
had hardly taken two steps, when she found
herself gradually sinking, and iet the cold
water encircling that portion of her person
where she places her garters. "Eough !!
cough J" said the old lady as she took a step
or two forward; each one of which only
sunk her deeper in the soft marshy ice and
snow, until unfortunately she placed her foot
upon piece of hard ics which would no.
give way, even to her immense weight,
when her foot slipped ind down she came
full length in the gutter.
A recumbent elephant in an immense mud
puddle, is the best comparison we can draw
Of the picture before US; and as the old lady
lowered her suddenly elevated heels, and
raised her submerged head from the tide o.
snow, she said, "Blessed Virgin Help me
out! Help help! This was all your fault
sir You had no business bringing me thi:
way, sir. You're brute, sir - By this
time, the old gent had gathered himself up,
and made an effort to raise the recumbent
form of his wlfe but his footing was too in
secure, or the old lady was too heavy, and
down they both came again. The old lady
was scolding; the old gent was using exple-
tives, and both were kicking when we left.
How they ever got out is more than we can
say.

THE FEKEY Boar NoRFoLK.-fhe unlucky
little Ferry steamer which WAS sunk In the
harbor a te" days ago, by collision with
lighter, still occupies conspicuous position
on the edge of the channel, between here
and Portsmouth. Arrangements are being
made to raise the ill-iated and submerged
boat, that she may resume her run between
the cities.
From all the information which we have
been able to obtain in the premises, we are
inclined to think that this was one of those
unavoidable accidents, which from its peeu-
liar nature could not be helped. Ia view
OF the fact, that the harbor is always hlled
with vessels, and that numbers OF them are
allowed to remain in the stream for several
days at time; we really think it is mat
ter of surprise that some such accident has
not occurred long ago it is notorious
fact, however, that this Ferry is exceeding
ly well managed, and the boats are ia the
hands OF men of experience who fully under
stand their business and most faithfully per-
form it, hence the unfrequent occurrence Of
collision OF ACCIDENT.
The operation of raising the sunken steam
er will not be extensive nor is it supposed to
be expensive the cost, however, will come
out of the pocket of the. enterprising. contrao-
tor, unless be can show earelessnsss on the
part Of those in charge OF the lighter.

"MoLAssRs DRAGGINGs"- very pop
alar Southern institutions seem to be very
much in vogue just at this particular time.
We confess decided liking for the pleasant
union which occur at these seasons, and we
are always ready to respond with our pres
ence to all invitations, provided they don't
come every night. We refer to this matter
merely because we know bit of romance
connected with one occurring about twelve
months since, where three couples then and
there for the first time met. The result is,
that each of the three couples were in six
months, on the same night, united in the
bands matrimonial. Verify, they are very
prolific match making institutions.
ACCIDENTALLY BURNED.-A night or two
since while an old colored woman familiarity
known as ''Aunt Edith" of Portsmouth was
standing before the fire, her clothes acc ident
ally took fire, and soon enveloped her in flames.
The old woman very much frightened, ran out
in the street and fell down in the snow, when
several gentlemen soon extinguished tie
flames and conveyed her to her house and bed .
She is very badly burned, and it seems almost
q miraculous interposition that she escaped
with life. As it is, 1t will be long time, il
aver, before she can recover.

CHARIrY.-ln every community of the
size Ell Norfolk and Portsmouth, there must
be OF necessity many-many scenes of des-
olation, want and privation, and especially
Is this the truth at the present season of the
year, when the old icy king, Winter, reigns
over the land, and when his snowy drapery
Is enveloping the earth in its icy folds
With these facts before eur eyes it becomes
the duty OF every one to exert himself or
herself to do something ia the Cause of sui
fering humanity. These scenes of priyatiop
and utter poverty mast be met, and provi-
sons made for the unfortunate victims of
their rigor.
The various charitable enterprises and
societies are no doubt doing all in their
power to alleviate the miseries OF the poor
and dependant; yet their organization and
rules OF action reader it impossible that all
who need their help shall be known unto
them. There is path OF charity and of
duty which can only be filled by the in.
dividual, and We urge those who have the
blessings OF God in so great abundance. and
who are surrounded with the comforts of
wealth and the enjoyments OF life, to exert
themselves to relieve the distressed among
them whose piteous cries ascend to the
Maker and "Giver of every good and per-
feet gift" Remember one, who spoke as
never man spake, declared that it was scot.
ter to give thaa to receive" and who has
enloihed upon all who love him to take care
OF the meek and helpless and poverty strick-

joy will run into your cup of happiness, and

your soul will be blessed by the smile of
God to cheer you in the goodwork~
