FRIEND WARD: Having plen-

undertake moral lecture to ex-
press even a doubt Of Sampscn's

and twelve bears. | killed four
fine fat bears last fall, and the
killing of the last one was some
what exciting. Two of my near
neighbors, living some ten miles
from me, came to my house one
evening and proposed that | take
my dog, who, by the way, is a
lamb at home, but a lion in the
chase, 60 with them in the NOR
ming and hunt a bear. Now, as
| never wait for second invita-
ton to go in such a party, OF

We had not go. far from the
house before my dog broke into
a cottonwood thicket and com
menced barking. | ran in and
found him worrying a very large
bear. | gave him a Galena blue
pill, which started both body
and bowels out of the thicket on
double.quick. After running 4G
rods, my dog brought him to bay
within four rods of H. lngleshy,
who gave him another hf..ounce
pill. BY this time the scent of
blood had SO excited the dog that
he sprung at the BEARS head, but
one blow from Bruin sent him
wnlrling, with the loss of one
ear. Not being willing to sub
init TO such treatment, the dog
made a second attempt and fast
ened upon Bruins jaw. The
bear instantly closed with him,
and although ten seconds did not
elapse until we had three balls in
Bruins brains, my noble dog
was so badly hurt that he did not
get upon his feet again tor three
DAYS.
The bear weighed 300 pounds,
afiording 10 gallons OF oil, and,
as for baked bear ribs, they are a
luxury (when cooked by certain
lady OF my acquaintance) that but
few have the privilege of enjoy

interests of our County demand
the cooperation of all Teachers
throughout the County that the
present system of teaching may
be improved and rendered more
efectual, therefore,
Resolved, That We, the Tea

I'd, Resolved, That we agree to

On motion, the foregoing pre-
amble and resolutions were unan-

The folloa ing preamble and

Whereas, the system of Com
mon Schools is the hope of our
country, and the mutual cooper
alton on the part Of Teachers,

therefore,
Resolved, That we, the Teach

FOR T HIS WEE x
BY J. p. HARRISON.

People VINO are members Of
some church very often speak OF
the intolerance, or prejudice, ex-
hibited by those who are connec-
ted with some other religious So
ciety. Each denomination is
willing, so its members think, to
fraternize with all who are s:riv
ing to do good, and follow the
common Leader of all; but each
denomination finds in the others
a selfish unwilllngness thus to
co operate.
Now have no doubt that this
opinion is honestly held by many
good people, and it is true, that
in every church there is far too
much exclusiveness of feeling
and action. Nay, more, | think
there are people In every branch
of the church, whose religion
consists chiefly in a blind devo-
ton to doctrines which they do
not understand, and in hatred OF
all who do not hold their views
OF these subjects. But happily,
church members are not all OF
this class.
But my aim was, chiefly, to
say that do not believe there is
much more sectarianlsm in one
church, than in every other; and
there is not as much in any one,
as people outside OF it think there
is.
Ny associations have always
been OF a democratic character;
''too promiscuous entirely"
some of my friends say; and |
have long cherished a regard fer
all, Of every name, who are seek
ing after the truth, or striving to
walk therein. As a minister, |
have taken part In the meetings
OF every religious order in this
part OF the west, | think; Except
Roman Cs.holic,) and have, in
every ore, received the hearty
kindness that christian people
ought to show to each other.-
Yet dc not relinqaish my own
views OF theology, or keep them
out OF sight, or soften them down
to suit nv new hearers.
The Quakers, (Friendsl and
the German Baptists, (Dunkards
they are often called are as Of
ten a. any others perhaps, accus-
ell OF selhShness and intolerance;
and many people suppose that
they do not permit members or
ministers Of other chur> hes to say
anything ia their meetings. But
| have "preached'' or "spohen"
IN the congregations Of both these
orders, in there own houses Of
worship.
am not sure. that IN an absO
lutte sense, one church or creed
in this country is much better
than an other. No organization
or class OF people has exclusive
possession Of the truth. There i
room tor all, and work for all,
and very likely every one ofthem
Is necessary in Gods plan and
work for the elevation Of human
lty.
| am quite sure too, that every
one OF these churches might be
much better than it Is; yet in my
heart | wish tor them all, great
success in learning the truth, pnt
ing it in practice, and converting
others thereunto.

CUT-LEAvED BLACKBERRY.
BY S. B. P.


| notice in your November IS
sue a description of this new
Blackberry, as 1t was seen in the
grounds of Mr.. Franklin at Riv-
erdale. | can fully endorse all
that has been said oft. Ny at
tention was first called to it sew
eral years since, grown on trel-
lis in the grounds of Capt. Mum
son at Astoria. 1t had been then
pruned TO short spurs, and the
whole trellis was a mass of fruit,
almost hiding the leaves. The
berry was nearly as large as the
Aew Rochelle, and, to my taste,
OF infinitely finer flavor, being
very sTeet; a quality that does
not belong to the New Rochelle,
except under almost impossible
circumstances.
| lave grown the New Ro-
chelle many years, and in very
large quantities, and have not
once had furnished for my table
& quart of berries which | could
eat with enjoyment. 1t allowed
to hang until it would drop in the
bowl with a slight touch, it is
undoubtedly fine; but there is
scarcely one servant in a thou
sand who will not pick it after it
has become perfectly black,
while It's acidity is vet almost e.
nough to make the blood creep.
As have no time 10 do the dal-
ly picking for my family, have
been compelled TO pronounce the
New Rochelle unworthy of culti-
walton Tor general purposes.
Alter seeing the cut fsared in
Capt. Munson's grounds, | have
cultivated it largely, not only for
my table use, but to form a hedge
for some acres of vineyard. II,
uniform sweetness, high flavor,
and wonderful bearing qualities,
have pleased me more and moro
each year. As an ornamental
plant, either for a hedge or for
covering walls, ] value it highly.
1t remains green till January; its
sharp prickles will pierce the
taickest pantaloonS; it grows
rapidly even in the poorest soil.
and must inevitably grow in ia
vor, because it combines in an
unusual degree ornamental and
fruit bearing qualities.
S. b. p. is not the only ono
who THINKS highly of the cut
leaved Blackberry. The notice
in our November number is not
the first one that has appeared in
the llorticulturist. In our vol
ume for 1861 will be found an
exceedingly fine engraving of it,
with an account OF its introduc-
ton, and an estimate of its value
tor the table and for ornamental
purposes. 1t is very picturesqe
plant, and for some ornamental
purposes has no superior.--ED.
