BEARs.-Bears still continue to make
themselves prominent in Vermont Mr..
Allen Blanchard caught in Mendon, on
Sunday last, large black bear. weigh
ing about four hundred pounds. Bruin,
in his eagerness to obtain the food nee
essary to maintain so large a bear, in
discreetly run himself under the log
dead-fall set by Mr.. Blanchard, and was
dead bear before ne was found. On
the 18th inst. Mr.. Sidney Mead and his
son, of Middlebury, left their house
(they residing in the east part of the
town, and within three-quarters of mile
of the high peak of the range of the
Green Mountains east of the village in
the morning, to plant some potatoes in
lot at the base of the mountain, and
while thus engaged Mr.. M. thought he
would count his sheep, and upon SO do
ing found two missing from the count
the day previous. His son was engaged
in blowing with yoke of oxen, and his
father, wondering where his sheep could
be, heard rustling in the bushes in the
lot adjoining, and upon starting to dis
cover the cause of the noise was con-
fronted by huge bear, who was making
for the mountain as fast as possible, evil
IDENTIFY having become alarmed with the
noise of the young man with the oxen
at work. Mr.. NJ not having any fire
arms with him was compelled to thus
witness the hasty exit of Bruin without
molesting him. Mr.. Bear was soon out
of sight, crashing his way up the noun
tain. Upon examination it was found
he had during the night killed two sheep,
for his supper and breakfast, leaving
portion Of their mangled remains to evil
dence his presence in the flock. Mr.. NJ.
measured his track and found it was suf-
ficiently large for him to place his hand
in with perfect ease. He judged he
would weigh 400 lbs, and was of very
dark brown color. The neighborhood
are on the alert for the rascal, and hope
to catch him. Some years since huge
bear was killed near where this one was
seen.

Some of the State papers are re-
cording the remaining and fading snow
drifts. We had the romantic felicity
last Friday of driving through or into
ore, while going from Proctorsville to
South Reading, some three feet deep,
and just opposite the wall was entirely
covered and the drift was probably some
five or six feet deep. We were on wheels,
but the rollicking, zigzag commotion
about that time reminded us of naviga-
ton in troubled waters.

- A lady in this village who has been
a constant reader of the Hearth and Home
by Bates Pettengill, New York, since it
started, said on reading the last number,
that she believed it grew better and bet

a no higher compliment than it fully de-
serves.
The contract for carrying the mail
from Proctorsville, through Cavendish,
Upper Falls, Felchville, West Windsor
to Windsor, has been given to jesse l..
Paine, the owner of the stage route on
that line. Mr.. Paineis an accommodate
ing gentleman, and will no doubt satisfy
the public on his line.
- The mail carrying contract from
this place to Grafton, Townshend, &C.,
we understand has been awarded to some
gentlemen in Bethel, but it is not likely
it will involve any change in carrier, at
least those on the line who have been so
well and faithfully served for many years
past by the present carrier, Mr.. r. w.
Perham, will all hope so.
A friend in Willamstown Iowa,
sends us copy of his county paper, the
Nashua Post, which is evidently live
and enterprising sheet, and worthy the
good fame of that State. We should
rather enjoy the pigeon shooting in that
section so well described by the Post, as
it appears they are SO plenty that any
one who can hit the side Of barn would
be sure of his game, which in some other
cases depends too much upon skill as
marksman for us to attempt.
