Lively Bear story.

The Chippewa Times has good tory of a
marty of hunters in search OF wild cats, who
found instead three large hears. The party
had just separated to scour the locality, when
Sheriff Buzzea was suddenly confronted by
an enormous black bear, coming right out of
the ground, and not six feet distant, The
peril was imminent, and only one thing to do
flight it out on that line," and that sudden
ly. He shouted to warn his party, and fired,
striking the bear in the centre OF the head.
Doubling up like knot, he disappeared in the
ground as suddenly as he came out. The fir
ing brought the rest of the party, and ii was
resolved to go into the hole, tie a rope to the
bears leg, and draw him out; and TO do this
one must be lowered head foremost into the
hole.
Mr.. Buzzell prepared for this job, and was
lowered into the ground about eight feet be-
fore he came to the bear, which was lying
quartering, hind part toward him. He under
took to tie rope round one hind leg, when
tension of the muscle, a movement of the
body, and at the same time Struggling ray of
light revealed two other bears and his own
awful situation! Duzzel. eight feet in the
ground, heat foremost, without single weap-
on, with three wild bears, aud the only means
of getting out to be hauled out by ropes at
tached to his feet, was very uncomfortable
How he escaped from the situation is a Won
der to all Who know anything about it; but
he got off with blow on the head and
scratch extending from tue jaw to the temple.
But the bear got the worst-ot it, tor he fol-
lowed his men out, and on showing his head,
received ball under the jaws coming out at
the top OF his head. So to get him out was
the next consideration, and Dlasbfield was
slowly and cautiously lowered into the den,
revolver in hand. A survey showed that the
old bear was dead, and but one other in sight,
and that not at all puqnaciOuS. He attached
rope to the old bears leg, whanged his re-
volver at the remaining one, gave the signal,
and was jerked out. When the old bear was
drawn out, the others seemed to come too,
and as fast as they showed themselves, they
were fired at. Forty-one shots were fired and
their heads were riddled with holes before
they succumbed. The old bear dressed
three hundred pounds, the others about one
hundred and fifty each. III 4

Memorial Hymn.


The following hymn, written for the occasion
by John. G.. Whittier, was sung at 'he oeolea'
ton of the new church in Georgetown, Mass
erected nv NJ. George Peabody, in memory o
his mother: $50
Tbou dweIest not, o Lord of ALI ~ r
In temples which Thy children raise;
Orr work to Thine is mean and small,
. And brief to Thy eternal days.
Forgive the weakness and the pride,
If marred thereby our gift may be;
For love, at least, has sanctified
The altar which we rear to Thee.
The heart and not the hand has wrought
From sunken base to tower abovei
The image of tender thougllt, "a
The memory of deathess love.
Though here should never sound of speech
~ 30 Or organ anthem rise or fall,
s'a It's stones would pious lessons teach,
Its shade in benedictions fall '--
Here should. the dove of peace be found,
And blessings free as dew-fall given,
Nor strife profane. nor hatred wound
The mingled loves of earth and heaven.
Thou who didst soothe with dying breath
The dear one watching by Thy cross,
Forgetful of the pains of death
In sorrow for her mighty loss!
In memory of her sacred claim,
o Mary's Son, our Offering take,
And make it worthy OF Thy name,
And bless it for mothers sake!
