4 Bear Hunt.
RuMroRp. Sept. Abb, ISL

MrsEdiior. The past week we have.
had one of those exciting ehascs. bear
hunl. m -
A.bear had been visiting The cornfcld
ofMr. O. Pettingill, of this town. fortwc
nights, making ssd havoc with The aqlns
Now as com is to be verx poor crop
with us this year. Mr.. Pct'ingill naturally
objected to feeding bears at the expense
of diminished -corn-crib Notice was
sent round, aud seventeen of his neigh
borsg assembled TO hunt out bruin. A
council was called, and it was concluded
that the bear was in a piece ofpine woods
Of some forty acres on Mr.. P's. farm. and
near his cornield. and il, was decided to
surround the woods while two or three
went in with the dogs to drive him out.
The woods were surrounded according
ly. and the dogs put on the track and his
bearship was soon discovered sleeping al
ter his supper. The dogs awoke him and
a shot from Prcnt Kimball convinced him
that to flee would be wise. lie was wor-
ried by the dogs and closely, followed by
the hunters in the woods till he came in
sight Of the road leading from the Point
to the Center, when q shot from Dawson
brought him to the ground with q broken
leg. and he wa, dispatched with an axe.
A procession was formed, c. A. KIM
ball taking the bear into his wagon. and
The huntsmen following behind and
marched to the common ut the Point,
when a salute was fired over his remains.
After he had been. duly shown To the
crowd, he was divided-the older hunts
men each rcccivinga loot rs an ornament,
AMI the younger ones the cash proceeds
to invest in ammunition for the killing of
the next bear. that happens this way.
Thus ended the hunt, which was voted
n most exciting affair by all who partici-
pated, for in twenty minutes by the
watch from the time we startedt 10 surround
the woods, bruin lay dead in the road,
and all who saw him united in saying
that i, was the largest bear they ever saw.
Whether il was the original Oxford Bear,
or not, | cannot say, but have not the
least doubt in my mind that it was that
famous animal. OK OF TIE HUNTERS.
