DREADFUL FtaHr BETWEEN A BEAR AND HuNrGn
IN GRITrENDEN County, ARR,-The following Incl
dent was related to us yesterday by one who being
a hunter himself is perfectly reliable: A strong
short, thick.set Arkansas hunter, well-known in
Crittenden county by the soubriqttet Of "Deer
Sayer,n was returning home on Friday afternoon
with an incautousy empty gun on his shoulder,
when he suddenly found himself confronted by an
animal not often seenin that neighborhood, large
black bear of the softer sex. The Deer Slayer
being man of undaunted mettle, and having his
courage reused byseveral deep potations, resolved
to kill the brute, which showed none of that fear
generally displayed by his species at sight of the
lords of creation. The bear lay right down, his
grim nose on his grisly paws, and his eyes fixed on
the hunter who calmly proceeded to load bis gun
not little astonished atsthe immobty of brun
Being ready, the man fired, aiming at the beasts
head; the animal raising as he did so, caught the
bullet on his bacl, which it merely grazed. She
then precipitated herself on her aggressor, and a
long combat ensued, the man striving to eude her
embrace, ever and anon striking her heavy blows
on the head with the butt OF his rifle which at last
he broke, but notuBt he had almost stunned the
unfortunate animal, into whose side he plunged q
glong knife, reaching her heart, The victorious
Deer Slayerhas been li0nized ever since and has
his soubfiqtet changed to Bear Slayer. His left
shoulder and side are dreadfnlly torn, and lie III
greatly weakened by loss Of blood tterefrom.
