----'rhe following is from the Poca- hontas Randard of the 3Ist ult:
 A very sad and unfortunate accident occurred in our county on Thursday of last week, by which Mir. D. c, Moore, . minister of the gospel and a member of the Methodist Episcopal church came to his death. He together with his sons had been gathering corn, and in consequence of the appearance of rain immediately, Mr. Moore urged the young men to hurry up with the wagon while he and one of his sons put up the gap through which the wagon passed. His son having gun set it down while putting up the fcnce-done with the fence, in the attempt to take the gun up, the hammer struck against bush causing an explosion, the ball from the gun passing entirely through the old gentleman rom one side to the other, causing his death in very short time. The distress of the young man connec- ted with the accident is lamentable, indeed his ncighbors say that he is 1 inconsoIable:

National Thanksgiving,

i, The following proclamation has been is- sued by the President;ow fsdss37e 9al
 ''In conformity withga recent GUS tom that may now be regarded as established on national consent and appro- val, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to my fellow ctisens that Thursday, the 18th day of November next, be set apart and observed throughout the republic as, q day of national thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty Ruler of nations, with whom are dominion" and fear, and who makes peace in His high places, resting and rciraining from secular labor on that day. Let us reverently and devoutly give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the mercies and blessings with which He has crowned the now closing year; especially let us remember that He has covered our land through all its extent with gr realty needed and very abundant harvest; that He has caused industry to prosper not on y to our fields but also in our forests He has permitted us to multiply ships up- on our lakes and rivers, and upon the high seas, and at the same time to extend our iron roads so far into the secluded places of the continent as to guarantee speedy overland ntircourse between the two oceans He has inclined our hearts to turn away from domestic contentious and connections consequent upon distracting and desolating war, and to walk more and more in the ancient ways of loyalty, con ciliation and brotherly love. He has blessed the peaceful efforts with which we have established new and important com mercial treaties with foreign nations while we have at the same time strengthened our national defenccs and greately en- larged our national borders. While thus rendering the unanimous and heartfelt tribute of national praise and thanks giving which is so justly due to Almighty God, let us not fail to implorc Him that the same Divine protection and care which we have hitherto so underservedly and yet so constantly enjoyed may be contin ued to our country and our people through all the generation forever.
 In testimony whereof l have hercuuto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed Done at the city of Washington the sixteenth day oi October, in the year of our Lord one thou. sand eight hundred and sixty-seven, and of the independence of the United States the ninety second ANDREW JOHNSON.

BEAR AND BULL FIGHr.-A crowd of about four hundred men, women and children repaired to the fair grounds yesterday evening to sec the fight be- tween the grizzly bear and Mexican bull, which had been so extensively advertised. The two animals were se- cured to the seperate ends of a chain, and this was secured in the middle by a long rope to a strong stake driven firmly into the ground. At about 3 o'clock the bear was let out of his cage. The moment the bull saw bruin he made fiercely for him, knocked him down and trampled him badly. Three or four bouts of this kind occurred, eech time the bull having the advan- tage, until at length he thrust one of his horns into the bears mouth. This was too much. and, by powerful eff fort, the bear broke his chain and tried 10 escape, making directly for the spec tators, who had formed ring around the arena. There was immediately q terrible confusion. Women screamed, children cried, men halloed, and made the most hastv preparations to get out of the way. The hubbub added to the fright of the bear, so that he could only rear mp on his hams and paw about, untel his keeper, a Mexican, caught him with lasso and got him back in his cage. The Mexican then offered to ride the bear for purse of $50 or he would fight the bull with knife for Sl00. Nobody seemed inclined to in vest, and the exhibition closed, and the crowd came to town.---l Omaha Repub- lican, Oct. 20.

CURE FOR RArTLEsNAKE BITEs.-A

CURE FOR RATTLEsNAKE BITEs.-A Tennessee paper notices the following simple remedy for the bite of the rat tlcsnake, which should be remembered by everybody living in localities where the poisonous regtile abounds:
 A little girl, of this State, was cured of a rattlesnake bite recently, by the use of a strong decoction of white ash leaves taken Internally, and also ap- piled to the wound. The decoction was not used until the day after she was bitten there would have been no swelling at all.
 There is a species of black snake, not poisonous, which always fights the rattlesnake when he meets him, and always kills him. But in the encount- CT he generally receives many wounds from the fangs of his antagonist. These he cures by chewing white ash leaves and applying his saliva, charged with their juice as sort of iinament. The instinct of the reptile suggested the remedy to man.
