BEAR SToar.-.Mr James Ward, near

Weighing fve hundred pounds. :. He had
quite an adventure, which the Shakopee
Argus relates as follows: ss>"'" e2@a',z

far from his residence looking for partridge; he had
descended to the botton Of wide and deem rayine
and while going along happened to look up above hin,
when he spct the bear sitting on the verge of the
bank far above him, watching his movements az a cat
does mnusc. Thinking his best course was to give
him shot, he proceeded to do without DELAY taking
deliberate aim ut his mast vital parts The bear nm.
ed upo his hind feet and with terrible roar spranr
over the bank and came rolling springng and howne
with mouth wide open, directly for Ward who was
making tracks up the opposite bank; the bear, al
though b,dlv hHt; pursued him and WAS how SO close
that Ward thought his day come unless he would
SION become weak from loss OF blood for he had now
come to where it was steep that further progress
was next to impossible. In the meantime he had been
ina,striosly engaged in loading his guR as hest he
could under the circumstances, and just the huge
monster, with listendcd jaws and gsrins eyes, was
atont to give him an affcctinnate embrace Ward
wheeled upon him and with the muzzle of his rife al
most within his horrid mouth, discharged it. when
Mr. Bear. with death howl, went rolling and tun-
bling to the bottom. and Ward completely exhausted
sat down to contemplate the chance he had for
hls life, but moment before.

i, Revolutions,

In the short space of seven years, the su-
preme power in England was held by
Charles l., by the Long Parli ,ment, hy u
Council of Officers, by Barebone's Parllia-
ment, by a: second Council Of Officers, by a
Protector, according to the instrument of
Government, by q Protector according to
the humble petition, and advice, by asec-
ond Long Parliament, by a third Council
Of Officers, by third Long Parliament,
and by Charles II. Millions Of treasu. 9
had been wasted, rivers Of blood had flow
cd. The old had been ovcrthrown and the
new set up in its stead, aud the new in it's
turn had yielded to the still more new.
New theories in political economy, science,
art and literature, had arisen, tlourished
and passed away in rapid succession. Re-
ligi6n had become q mockery, and honesty
a reproach. In a word, society was in q
completely chaotic state. No period of the
same duration in the history Of mankind
had seen such rapid changes; but in no
age had there been results so import
ant 10 the human race. 1t was the second
step in that grand transition which had be-
gun with the Reformation and ended with
the accession Of William and Mary, which
made England the center Of civ ilizatlon aud
the leader in the war of human progress
and gave to her position among nations,
the first in power and influence. All this,
was but the fermentation to which all ma
tions are subject The dregs settled. I'm
like the French Revolution it left her puri-
fed and dss,rengtheaed; and like wine age

The completion of continuous railroad

question Of how much time will be req air
ee to build it, and when this is done Min
nesosa viii! be within as speedy communi-
cation with New York city as Chicago was
fifteen years ago. The cities of Minnesota
are growing rapidly. St. Paul, though
now the largest, has a number Of aspiring
rivals. 1t is good feature, and one that
promises we'll for the future prosperity of
the State, that while the cities show con-
siderable increase, the great body of the
population is finding its way to the agri-
cultural Districts. As in all comparatiyelv
new districts, Minnesota is lacking in the
number of females TO preserve the balance
OF power: Tue males are largely in excess
and the local papers suggest that if. some
OF the s"perabundant female population Of
the eastern states would come there. they
would find employment, homes, and, if
