A Pennsylvania Killed by a Grizzly
Bear in California.

On the 25th Of June last, young man
named Barkiey Woodward, a native OF
Pennsylvania, was killed in an encounter
with a grizzly bear, near San Antonia,
Montgomery county, California, A COM
panion narrates the particulars Of the at-
fair as follows:
1t was on Monday, the 25th of June,
that this man left the place where he was
encamped to go in search Of some cattle,
which appeared to be missing While on
his rambles, he came upon the tracks Of a
grizzly bear, and followed them into the
mountains as far as he could ride. Then
he dismounts, ties his horse to tree, takes
his rife and follows in the tracks Of the
dangerous animal until he overtakes it
then goes to within twenty feet Of it and
fires from behind a rock He leaves his
rifle leaning against the rock and runs for
some trees, but the bear is too fast for
him; he has not even time to use his re-
volver The bear caught him, threw him
down and chewed his head and face nearly
to pieces, being left entirely blind In
that most horrible condition he wandered
for about three quarters Of mile down
the creek, towards where his horse was
tied, at times walking, at times tumbling
and rolling down the rough rocks, until
through exhaustion he laid down and
died In that state he was found four
days after being missed.
l have taken the pains to send you this
communication, hoping that you will insert
it or part of it in your paper, with the re-
quest that all Pennsylvania papers aoH
copy, so that Mr.. Woodward's widowed
mother may learn of her sons untimely
end. [ was one of the persons who went
in search of him, and can vouch for the
truth of what is written He had but late

Every protcsscd Christian, be sure if pos
sible to go, that the activities of the soul
may be stirred up and drawn out in the
service OF Christ. If you have for long
time staid away, and the Christian armor
has got rusty, 90. Prayer makes it bright,
Furnishes the shield, the breast-plate Of
righteousness. Go, if only a few are ex-
pected to be there, for If you stay away the
number will be less. 90 as did the good

may by and by fnd the place flied with

The City of Damascus---Its Great Anti
quity.


Damascus was an important place at
least as early as the time of Abraham, SO
that it is not less than four thousand years
old Etymologists dispute about the mean
ing of the name. 1t was the ancient cap
ital of Syria, and was thus the quintes-
sence of the quick-witted race it represent
ed. 1t is calltd by some the most ancient
city in the world This is, no doubt, east
ern exaggeration, but the fact that every
thing said by the orientalists about this ia
nous capital is exaggerated, only shows
how strongly its real attractions had tak ken
effect upon their imagination. A celebra-
ted epistle of an ancient writer calls it
the great and sacred city of Damascus, sur
passing every city, both in the beauty of
its temples andt he magnitude ofits shrlnes,
as we'll as the timeliness of its seasons, the
limpidness of its fountains, the volume OF
its waters, aud the richness of its SOIL

Devotion.

If we know that an individual holds COM
munion with God, that fact tends to give
us confidence in him. Something within
US tells US that the praying person is one
who viii not injure US, and in whom We
can safely trust 1t was upon this princi-
pie that an inadcl, who was travelling. and
who was oyertakcn by nightfall in lone
ly and dangerous place, confessed that he
was relieved Of his fears Of being assasina-
ted, when the owner Of the cabin where he
had taken shelter, led the family in prayer
before retiring to rest. The infdel slept
soundly after such a manifestation of Chris
tianity. A cabin 70 fed and walled by
prayer could not be an unsafe place, he
thought We have authority for another
pleasing incident illustrating the same
point In exercising hospitality to a cler
gyman, who arrived at a dwelling late in
the evening, the heads Of the house sur
rendered to him their own chamber. Their
little daughter, three years Of age, was
asleep in the crib, and they concluded not
to disturb her Quite early in the morning,
she awokc, and looking towards the bed
usually occupied by her parents, saw stran-
ger there. At first she was startled, and
covered her head with the counterpane.
Soon, however, she peepcd out, and said,
Man, do you pray to God ? Yes, was
the answer, { | love God, and pray to Him
every day This satisfied the little inqui-
rer she smiled, turned over, and dropped
asleep.
