Strange Discovery OF a SfoHe

i, The following is going the rounds of our
European exchanged 80
\ There has been one emotion in Paris du-
ring the last few days, created by the sud
den disappearance in the world of Paris OF
4 the Yicomte De-, one of the quondam ia
yorites, who had left the city in the great
est condemnation and disgrace some seven
years ago, and who returns bronzed and
! hardened, both in mind and person, to re-
Isume the place among his friends which
not they but he declared he had forfeited
by his own .imprudence and folly. 9sa ID Z
i ~ BY the kindness ola relative he was en-
abled to steam away for New Grenada,
twhere he had been able to obtain a situa-
ton as clerk to the engineer just then en-
ployed in the construction of a line Of rail-
way through the country h
In this position he fulfilled his small du-
ties with the utmost perfect exactitude for
more than three years, and at the end of
that time, the railway being terminated,
was ordered to another duty in another
/ part of the country. The way was over the
steepest mountains. He had already got
through the greater part of his Journey
when, one day, overcome by the heat he
! lay himself down by the side of a running
stream, which refreshed him both by sight
and sound, and fell to musing on the hard
fate which had torn him from his relatives
and friends to wander thus a lonely exile
in a foreign land, when his attention was
suddenly called from these high flights to
a circumstance which was taking place
Immediately beneath his eye, and which
had escaped him while gazing on the
heavens. len Il 8 81 atatsa II 'aii gD

where his head was lying amid the grass
and flowers, the running water formed an
eddy, which, after turning in tiny whirl-
pool proceeded to fall into narrow aper-
sure, whence, ON examination, he behold
no issue. His curiosity was aroused, and
he raised himself up to gaze down into the
hollow, the sides of which he found to con-
sist Of two blocks of stone, SO worn down
and polished by the continued rush of the
current that he could see to the very bot
tom. The sight he there beheld made him
stagger and fall back, almosSwithout con-
46ciousness,. on the, grass. In that single
Il hollow had filtered for centuries the gold
sand carried by the current from the bed
Fof the'river some miles higher up, where
gold washing had been carried on for many
generations.
There lay before him one glimmering pile
of the precious ore cleaning at the bottom
Of the limpid water, and demanding only
a strong hand and resolute will, both Of
which he possessed, to draw it to the sur
face. Needless to say, he retraced his steps
to the place where he had departed, and
soon returned, bringing back men and
machinery, and, as he says, when telling
the wondrous tale, "You may believe me

came to the house, and being informed of
the circumstances, Immediately set out to
help find the child. No doubt existed as
to the fate of the little one by all, and if
they could only find where the bear had
dispatched his victim, they then might go
home with the assurance that they were
never to see their child again, but until
some trace of her was found, there was
hope. an ia ,,.. s b.s
IN The gentlemen alluded to had wandered
about, and as they were passing swampy
spot where the underground was thick, they
either called the child, or else were talking
loud, when one of them heard the child's
voice, He then called the child by name,
and told her to come out of the bushes
She replied that the bear would not let
her. The men erept through the bushes,
and when near the spot where the child and
bear were, they heard splash in the water,
/, which the child said was the bear. On
going to her they found her standing upon
a log extending about half way across the
river
The bear had undertaken to cross the
1 river on d log, and being closely pursued
left the child and swan away. She had
received some scratches about. her face,

torn from her body, but the bear had not
kitten her to hurt nor, only the marks of his
teeth being found ON her back, where in
taking hold of her clothes to carry her he
had taken the flesh also
The little one says the bear would put
her down occasionally to rest, and would
put his nose up to her face, when she would
slap him, and then the bear would hang
his head by her side and purr and rub
against her like cat The men asked her
if she was cold in the night, and she told
= them the old bear lay down beside her, and
put his farms" around her and Rugged her
to him, and kept her warm, though she did
not like his long hair. She was taken home
to her parents who could hardly express
theirjoy at her safety.
The bear has been seen lurking about
the vicinity, it is supposed for the purpose
of yet carrying off the child. The suppo-
sition is that it is female bear, and having
lost her cubs, came across the child and
adopted it. Steps are being taken to cap
ture the bear.

a5F tti - From the Ludington (affch) Record.
II Little Girl 7N4ee Years or .age
I'M ID Carried Off bar a. Bear. 97.'i

We have to record a very singular deliy-
erance of girl about three years old to its
parents, after being carried off by black
bear, and search of about thirty -six hours
through the forest by the excited parents.
The facts, as near as We can gather them,
are substantially as follows: }hl lff}
Mr.. Henry Flynn lives about forty miles
east of this place, at or near the lodging
camps of Mr.. Ludington, and we believe
has charge of one ofthe camps. He started
one morning to take horse to pasture,
about two miles distant from the house, and
as he was ready to start, his little girl APP
peared and seemed very anxious to go with
her father, who, in order to please thechild,
put her upon the horses back and let her
ride short distance, perhaps forty rods
from the house, but in plain view of it,
home. He noticed that the child was stand
ing where he left her, and on looking back,
after going little further, saw her playing
in the sand He soon passed out of sight,
and was gone about an hour, expecting, of
course, that the child would return to the
house after playing a few moments. rs,
On returning home, he made inquiry
about the child of its mother, who said she
had not seen the child, and supposed he
haG taken her along with him. On going
to the spot where he left her. he saw huge
bear tracks in the sand, and at once came
to the conclusion that the child had been
carried off by the bear. . - asf gu
The family Immediately made search
through the forest, which was grown up to
almost jungle, rendering their search very
slow. All day these anxious parents
searched for some trace of their child, nor
did they stop when, darkness came on, but
remained in the woods calling the child by
her name, and with aching hearts would
listen with almost GREATNESS fear, to catch
some sound by which they could discover
their lost darling. Morning came, and
their search was fruitless. Nf

The conversion of the soft and fieecy fibre
of cotton into hard and solid substance
like horn and ivory, is one of those remark
able discoveries which distinguish the in
ventive genius of the present age. This
surprising transmutation of vegetable mat
ter has, however, been accomplished by diff
ferent persons almost simultaneously both
in Europe and this country, like many
other great inventions.
| In England, Mr.. Alexander Parkes has
obtained patent for process of treating
cotton, flax, and other vegetable fibres, to
produce new material called Parkensite ;
and in this country similar patents have
been granted to DR.. VIM. H. Pierson, As
sistant Surgeon in the u. s. Navy, OF
land, dentist, of Louisville, Kentucky.
These inventions arc all fundamentally
alike in treating cotton, flax, or other yege-
table fibre, by first converting it in the
usual manner with nitro-sulphuric acid in
to pyroxiline or gun cotton. The gun cot
ton is then dissolved with ether and alco-
hol to produce collodion. This chemical
preparation is the basis on which all the
patents rest The methods of mechanical
treatment subsequent to the chemical pro-
cess constitute the essential difference be-
tween the processes of the several invent
ors, and form the subjects of the various
patents the results are substantially the
same. The solvents are evaporated from
the solution of pyroxiline or gun cotton by
slow and difficult processes, and the resi-
dunn, when in plastic state, is subjected
to pressure in moulds to form into solid
substance in any desired mass or shape.
This new material is a substance as distinct
from the original vegetable matter of which
it is composed, as caoutchouk or India
rubber in its natural state as a gum is from
vulcanized rubber. 1t resembles horn and
ivory in texture and quality, and like those
substances may be applied to the nanufac-
ture of combs, and various objects of use
and ornament In its pure state it is trans
parent like amber, and admits of any shade
Of coloring, from pure white to jet black.
DR.. McClelland has made special applica-
ton of it to dental plate in imitation Of the
natural gum; and for this purpose the
purity of the substance, as well as its great
strength and the beauty of the color, APP
pears to adapt it admirably. Perfect imi-
tations may also be made of coral and tor
toise shell. ses1e ~ n
This new discovery, indeed, promises to
furnish to art and manufactures most
valuable acquisition.-N y. Sem.

ANOTHER ACT OF CRuELTY.-We stated
short time since the fact of valuable horse
of DR.. Lippitt's having been stabbed by some
miscreant from which death ensued, and have
st II another similar atrocious act to record
happening on Saturday night. Dir. Charles
NJ. Hoof, formerly citizen Of Clark, now
resident of our town, lett his horse in the
neighborhood of the, Methodist Church to
Craze during the night, and on Sunday morn
ing he found him dead in the rear of the
stone School House, having been severely
stabbed. The animal was of much value to
its owner, and we sincerely hope the perpe-
traitor of so dastardiy aud cruel an act, may
be discovered. and receive the punishment
he so richly merits. 10 's.,-. - .a.
