BEAR HUNT.-The annexed il from the
Weavervills Journal of the 9th instant /:
Friday Of last week Peter Weise and w.
]. Tinuin, while out upon a hunting ex-
petition, came across three bears, an
old one and two cubs, at the edge Of
the lake upon, cold Bally," at the
head of East Weaver Creek. The old
bear, when alarmed, started up the
mountain towards the hunters, but was
shot through and through by Weise,
and rolled back to the waters edge
After weiss dispatched the dam, the
hunters each killed a cub, and returned
to town flushed with success and bring
ing the young ones with them-the old
bear being toe much Of a burden for
their means of transportation. Next
day weise and Charley Kuper went back
and brought the old bear to town. She
weighed three hundred and sixty
two pounds, and was on exhibition in
front of the Mountain Market. Sunday
following a banquet was given at the
Union Hotel in honor Of the events do
scribed above-sns Of the cubs baked
whole constituting tho principal dish.

FASHION AND TRADB.-It is curious to
notice upon what apparent tribes great
commercial interests may turn. When
hair powder went out Of fashion, half
n century or more ago, there were moi
a few bankruptcies in consequence. If
the ladies should take it into their heads
to discard the present arrangement OF
wires which support their skirts, a great
deal Of machinery, contrired for the
manufacture of the fat wire, and for
other con,rivances necessary to the
process of giving b~eilshapes to u
bellies, would be thrown out Of gear.
What would be done with the skirts on
hand it is hard to say. We have seen
vines trained to run over them; but
there would be an o%ver-supply, even for
such ornamental gardening. The late
war introduced wooden fabrics into
much wider use than they were before.
It will be a pity il wool does not keep
its place. 1t is said to be moro healthy
than cotton or linen, and at any rate
should not have been so much disused
as it was down to 1860. But fashions
change constantly. Fine cloths, they
say, are coming up again. There will
be one advantage in this. The mil
lions" will be more cheaply clad when
fashion takes its tax from the low
grades. But we do hope our business
men will, at least in bushes, hours,
still retain the serviceabls suits which
look as if "they meant business" Let
the fitness Of things be consulted.

The r%etardation Of the motion Of 70.
tation Of the earth on its axis is the sub
ject of a scientific paper written by John
Ericsson, of monitor fame, and pub
lished in the proceedings of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences. Mr.. Erics-
son endeavors to establish the theory
that the action Of the great rivers Of the.
globe in depositing near the equator
their sediment brought from high lsH-
tudes retards the velocity Of the earlh's
rotary motion to a very appreciable ex-
tent. He states that it needs no DEM
onstration to show that weight near the
axis Of the globe is carried with less ex-
penditurs Of force than at the equator,
and that consequently matter shifted
from the poles to the equator retards
the motion Of the earth on its axis in n
degree proportionate to it's weight. He
then calculates that the amount of rs
riva or potential energy of which the
earth is being deprived every second by
the waters of the Mississippi and its
tributaries during their flow to the sea
will accordingly be 1925 millions Of
fo~ot-pounds. He then calculates that to
mako good the loss Of ri, riva which the
earth suffers, demands a constant ex-
psnditure Of 35,l33 horsepower. This
calculation is only for the Mississippi.
Taking into consideration also sll the
other continents which are carrying on
the same process, it is estimated that
every succeeding day marks a diminu-
ton of the earsh's cis rirG Of 3,446, $685.,
45l 200 fo~ot-pounds, in consequence of
the change of position of the abrsded
matter carried toward the equator.

CRAwLED UP.-0nce upon a time a
gentleman found in his hen roost a sim
ple.minded soul, Of the vicinity, who
lived without visible lei of support.
"What are you doing here, you rascal?
Stealing my chickens?" "No sir"
was the resposne, 81 thought Of duin'
nuthin' of the sort" It unfortunately
happended that the simple minded indi-
yidual wore a high straw hat, of dimsn-
sions of a beehive, and the crown there
of was dilapidated to q serious extent.
Just as he had put in his denial, the
head Of a half grown chicken was seen
to protruds from the aperture: "See
there" said the gentleman, " how did
that chicken get into your hat?'
"Well," exclaimed the supplemented
individual, with an air of honest surprise
and embarrassment, ''that is the strang.
est thing that ever happened to me. |
suppose the darned critter must have
crawled up my trowsers legs"

Foun or Eve car loads Of soldiers

Four or Eve car loads Of soldiers
passed through Truckee or Wednesday
morning, going west. They had lots Of
fun going through the sheds, as the cars
had to go through very slowly on ac-
count of the carpenters being at work
on them, and the soldiers amused them
selves BY snatchiug the hats from off
the lsborers' heads and appropriating
them to their own use, and by borrow
ing coats and such articles Of clothing
from the nails in the sides of the sheds,
where the workmen had hung them pre-
paratory to going to work.-Truekee

THE EARrHoUAKr IN NsSDocISo.-
From the Mendocino (Csl.) Herald Of
October s.h, we Gull the following ac-
count Of the. recent earthquake in that
county:
At halfpast / o'clock this morning,
October 9th, we were visited with the
seyersst earthquake shock ever expert
encsd in Ukiah Valley. For ourselves,
We were asleep, but soon found our
selves wide awake, sensible Of the ter
rible CONFUSION going on. For four or
Eve ssconds-some say ten seconds
the house ratified as though actual de-
molition was going on. Nor was 1t all
in appearance. When daylight came,
the first thing that greeted d sight
was q quantity Of bricks and mortar in
the fireplace. On going. out of doors
tho cause Of this was plainly visible.
Three or four courses of brick had been
taken off the chimney and landed on
the roof of tie house. On coming up
town we learned that some damage had
been done in the way of breaking bot
ties, etc., in the drug stores. Some 20
tons of -four, in sacks, was stored away
in the western part Of S. Williams
store. II had been stacked up nicely
but when we looked at it this morning,
it seemed as thoughit had been dumped
down from q big cart without order or
care. The ceiling of Mr.. Williams
store was also considerably damaged.
The ceiling Of Moore l. Chambers sa-
loon looked terribly streaked. On fur
Their inquiry we learned that quite a
number Of chimneys in the neighbor-
hood we're moro or less damaged. One,
that of Mr.. Crawford, was thrown down
above tho roof Of the house, and then
broke off lower down, and the body OF
the chimney shifted about one inch.
Much interest was felt in regard to the
new seminary, the walls of which had
just been completed but on eIamina-
ton it was found that no damage was
done.
