BEAR IIUNT-For several months past
bears have been committing serious depreda-
tions on small stock about Round Mountain,
in this county. In order to rid the neigh
borhood of these pests, a general hunt was
agreed upon by the residents in that vicinity
few days ago, and Mr.. John O'Neil has
sent an account of the affair. A party,
armed with rifles and revolvers, and accom-
panied by pack of dogs, started out for the
hunt, and soon reused up a grizzly, which
took to its heels, and the men and dogs fol-
lowed in close pursuit. The chase was kept
up for several miles, when the bear took
refuge in cave or large fissure in the noun
tain side. A number of dogs entered the
cave and attacked the bear, but it killed two
of them and frightened the rest away. Shots
were then fired into the cave, but owing to
the darkness inside no accurate aim could be
taken. One of the party then volunteered to
80 into the cave and thus get shot at Bruin
at close quarters. 80, armed with heavy
revolver, he crept into the cave, but before
he had advanced twenty-five feet he encoun-
tered an enemy different from that which he
was seeking, and beat hasty retreat. On
emerging from the cave he was found to be
literally covered with bees, which stung him
terribly before they could be brushed off with
handkerchiefs and hats. Pitch pine sticks
were then ignited and thrown into the cave,
and sight of the bear was thus obtained
After receiving volley of Shots the animal
rolled over and soon gave up the ghost. A
rope was then tasted around one of it's legs
and it was pulled out of the cave and skinned.
The animal weighed 1850 pounds and was
very fat. The party afterwards took out 900
pounds of honey from a nook in the cave,
which was evidently kind of general retreat
for wild honey bees. They also found that
several hundred pounds of honey had been
eaten and destroyed by the bear.

Terrible Earthquake.


One of the most terrible and destructive
earthquakes ever recorded has recently oc-
CURED in Peru and Ecuador, South America.
1t is estimated that $4,000 lives were lost,
and $500, ,000, 900 of property destroyed. The
catastrophe occurred on the 18th of August,
and was preceded by a rumbling sound, like
thunder, from the volcano of Araquipa, in
the Andes. This volcano is fourteen miles
east of the city of that name, and is 20, 500
foet high, 500 feet of it being covered with
perpetual snow. On the day referred to the
sea was terribly agitated, and flooded the
land for miles. africa, Peruvian seaport
has not single house left standing. Are
quipa, a city of 81, 900 inhabitants, has been
almost entirely blotted out At africa a
tidal wave, 40 feet high, rolled with terrific
violence upon the shore, carrying ships fur
ther upon the land than ever before known
The United States storeship Fredonia cap
Sized and all on board were lost The Fred
donia had 81 100000 worth of stores on
board. The vessel was rolled over and
smashed to atoms. The U. S. steamer Wa
teree was carried half a mile inland, and left
high and dry; only one sailor was drowned.
Owing to the great distance, she can never
be go: aAoat again. The Peruvian corvette
America was also carried ashore, and thirty!
three drowned from her. An American
me-chantman, Rosa Rivers, the English ship
Chancellor, and the French bark Edwards,
were lost. The towns Of Iquique, Moquequa,
Lerumba and Pisaqua were all utterly de-
stroyed. Over six hundred perished at
Iquique. The American merchants lose
heavily; nearly all are ruined. The towns
of Ygarra, Sar Pablo and Imantad are in
ruins. Where Cotachachi formerly stood is
now u lake. The population of the above
towns wero almost entirely destroyed. Pam
cho Puellars and Cachiguanio were also de-
stroyed. The dead were so numerous that
the surviving inhabitants have been forced to
fly from the stencil of the purifying bodies.
In Guayquil the earthquake was felt. but no
damage was done. Taken altogether, it was
one of the most disastrous earthquakes Of
which we have any record.

MAINE ELECTION. According to telegraph.
ic dispatches the Republicans have carried
Maine by.2O, 900 majority--a gain of9 900 over
last years election. In speech at Bangor,
a few days before the election, George Ii.
Pendleton said to the Democracy "The eyes
of the whole country are upon you. You
will fight the first battle of this campaign.
For twenty years the elections of Maine have
foreshadowed the result in the West. Send
US in September news of your victory" The
result is death-bow to the hopes of the
Seymourites of the West. The leading New
York journals declare that the result in Ver-
mont and Maine..shows that Grant and Colfax
will sweep the country in November. The
indications are that the year 1868 will prove
as bad for Democrats as 1865.

UNION Men, ATTENTION We desire to
impress upon the minds of the Union men of
this county the necessity of attending to the
matter of seeing that their names are proper
ly enrolled upon the Great Register and upon
the poll lists of their respective precincts.
All voters must have their names so entered
by the Sd day of October or lose their vote,
unless they can show, under oath, good cause
for net being enrolled by that date. 1t is
important that the Union party should poll
Its full strength this year, and to that end
we urge every Union man in the county to
resolve himself into committee of one to see
that his own name and that of his neighbors
are properly enrolled. Let this matter re-
ceive immediate attention.

DrcrAroRIAL.-The Democratic Count

DIcTAroRIAL. The Democratic County
Central Committee, of San Francisco, have
decided to appoint delegates to attend a Con-
vention to nominate local candidates. This
arbitrary action of the Committee, in refusing
to allow the people to have any voice in the
selection of candidates, is creating wide
spread dissatisfaction, and will contribute to
the certain defeat which awaits the Democra-
cy of San Francisco in November.

Stop Blowing.

If excessive casing and blowing could ac-
complsh anything. the Democrats would be
a very fortunate set of individuals, and would
accomplish wonders. But, unfortunately for
them, they have obtained the reputation of
being entirely too much on the all talk and
no CIDER principle. They 90 arouad the
country blowing about Seymour's chances,
and talk much about betting on his election.
but when taken up on their banters, say they
are not ready to put mp the money just then,
or that they are not on the bet themselves,
but know of man at Millville, Weaverville.
or Red Bluff, who is naturally spelling for
chance to make a bet Now, the truth is,
there is no Democrat in Red Bluff, Millville,
Shasta, Weaverville or Yreka who will risk
any respectable sum of money on Seymour's
chances. All assertions to the contrary are
merely for political effect.
1t was reported around the country for
several weeks that a certain Democrat at
Milville would bet all the way from 500 to
$500 that Seymour would carry California !;
but on the occasion of the Union meeting
held there last week, $1,000 was taken down
there to bet on Grant, but the Democrat
aforesaid didn't want to bet"
A man named Carew, of Jacksonville,
Oregon, came into this place on Friday last,
and manifested great anxiety to bet $500 that
Seymour would carry this State. He had no
sooner manifested his desire than he received
two offers to cover his 500. The bragg.rt
was cornered, and had to acknowledge that
he was not prepared to take any bets. Ano-
ther Dragging Democrat, in Red Bluff, was
invited to " stake his money, and it would
be covered, on 500 bet, last week, but he
pru1ently weakened. So it goes, everywhere;
Democrats are heavy on the blow, but will
not bet their money when it comes to the
scratch. It's time for them to stop blowing.

Rolls ON.-The Union ball continues to

Democratic party, to rally to the support of

ENcoURAGING.-J. Chadbourne, Esq, of
San Francisco, has been stopping in our town
for several days, attending to legal matters.
He expresses himself as feeling very conf
dent that the Union ticket will triumph in
San Francisco. The party is compactly or
ganized and enthusiastic, while the Demo-
Gratis are warning among themselves and de-
spondent. Moderate Democrats are daily
coming over to the Union side, and uniting
with our Clubs, saying they are afraid to
trust the Government in the hands of such
men as Blair, Forrest & Co., who will cer-
tainly control it in case Seymour is elected.
One noted Democratic gentleman, whom the
Democratic State Central Committee has ad-
vertised to canvass the State for Seymour
returned to San Francisco few days ago
from visit to Idaho, and stated that the
conduct he had witnessed, and the atrocious
sentiments he had heard avowed by Demo-
Gratis in that Territory had disgusted him
forever with the party that contained such
characters in its ranks, and that he intended
to work and vote for Grant and Colfax and.
as an evidence of his sincerity, he subscribed
$1,000 to aid the Union State Central Com
mittee to carry on the campaign.
