From gentleman of our city, who
conversed with person who knows
whereof he speaks, we obtain information
of an extraordinary event occurring in
Monroe county last week.
Mr.. George Coleman, a young man Of
% or "a years, living three miles from
Prairie Station, was informed one day
last week by servant girl that she had
just seen "bear as big as a COW in the
edge Of the woods" short distance from
Mr.. Coleman's place. Her excited man
ner at once aroused his curiosity, and
arming himself with his Spencer rifle,
loaded with twelve balls, IA piece that he
had used in the late wary he started out
in search of the monster. He was ac-
companied by servant and large and
very fierce bull dog. Arrived at the spot,
brief survey soon discovered to him the
object of his search, in the shape of
genuine lion.
The beast, at the sight of the men,
sprang into the branches of near tree,
and there waited further developments.
Mr.. Coleman, who is described as very
cool and daring, did not allow him to
wait long, for, elevating his rifle, he at
once discharged several loads at him,
which caused the beast to spring from his
position on the foe. Quick as thought,
Mr.. Coleman continued firing till he had
exhausted all his charges-the second
shot as he afterwards discovered, passing
clean through the body of the beast with
out disabling him. And now came thu tug
of war. The lion Infatuated with his wound
and with glaring eyes, reached the ground
near Mr.. Coleman at the first leap, and
made a second spring a moment afterWard
Nothing but the courage of his dog saved
Mr.. Coleman from instant destruction.
The noble animal threw himself or the
king of beasts. ere he reached his within,
and Selling him by the nose, though
knocked about as "a feather, fought him so
tenaciously that the lion abandoned his
purpose, and, by single bound, seated
himself on the lower limb of tree, about
twelve feet from the ground.
AT this moment, Mr.. Coleman's servant
handed him a uble-barrelled gun which
he had brought along; he advanced
almost Immediately under the beast, took
an aim that was to seal his own fate for
life or death, fred both barrels, and
brought the lion dying to the ground.
On measurement, the lion was found to
be nearly nine feet in length, and to
weigh $50 pounds. He had white spot
on his breast, was of tawney color, and
showed all the marks of an American lion.
DR.. Hurd. of Monroe, who is considerably
skilled III natural history, says there is no
doubt of his species, and has his head for
preservation. Our readers arc assured
there is no hum5ug about the affair The
only way we can account for the presence
of the lion in this country, is to identify
this one with the animal that escaped
from the menagerie at Forest, mississippi,
about two weeks since

Now AND THEN.-About 10 years ago
Col. Joseph Scott began to keep store in
Craftsbury on the place now owned by
Capt. Job Hoyt, in what was called a
buttery or cheese room-a small room 6
by ID feet or less in size. His goods usu-
ally consisted of a web each of imported
cotton cloth and calico for such A could
afford to buy it, and few pounds of tea,
tobacco, spice, nails, and q few things the
.teto people of Crsftsbury could afford to
buy. Time has slowly wrought changes,
and now there are seven stores in town
three ut the village, one on East Hill, one
at the Mills and two on the Common. All
seem to be doing good business, There 10
also tin shop on the Common, whore
hardware and Yankee notions are to b
found in abundance.-BartOn Standard,

ATTEMPT TO ROB A SAFE AT LEN
OK, MAss.-Some time during Saturday
night three burglars made an unsuccess-
full attempt TO rob the safe in the County
Treasurer office, at Lenox, Berks county,
Mass. The robbers succeeded in blowing
off the lock of the safe, and had driven
a number of steel wedges in to force the
door open, when they evidently became
alarmed at some noise and fled, without
securing any booty. The safe contained
"A large amount of money. The result of
their operations was discovered Monday
morning, and pursuit was made. 1t was
ascertained that there were three of them,
and that they left in wagon drawn by a
team of light bay horses They drove so
rapidly that one of their axles became
heated and prevented the wheel revolv-
ing. Just before reaching West Stock
bridge two of the party got out and
walked through the place, while the other
traded wagons with a citizen, representing
that he was on urgent business. On
leaving Stockbridge the party united
again and went ON toward Albany. The
last seen Of the burglars was at noon on
Sunday, when they passed through the
Boston turnpike gate, just east of Green
bush.

able to endure the esowding, bullying
and Hsttery incident to the position, wa
obliged to call to his aid one Of the most
savage of the capital police to hold the
crowd in check. Here candidates and
their friends would wait around with
more persistency than patience until some
reporter made his appearance who could
tell if certain name had been sent in for
certain place. If it had, then would
follow the congratulations, shaking hands,
&C., and usually the party would bring
up at Whitnsy's to liquor. Some suPPos-
ing that success was certain gave extern

friends at Walkers Nhe Delmonico OF

their success. But, alas many were

immortal Burns, that
The best laid plans of mice and men,
Gang aft agly,
as they found their name withdrawn and
another sent in its place, or that the Sc
nate had neglected to act upon it at all,
and their nomination died with the ses-
sion. Many Of these political aspirants,
with ambition overcome, but not crushed,
quietly bide their time for another trial,
while others, with more zeal and less cum
ming, see the destruction of the dominant
party as the shortest road to success SO
they denounce the administration as being
imbecile, Congress as the embodiment of
corruption, and, catching up the "wail of
woe" sounded by Sprague, who, alone Of
all of his people, is permitted to see the
frey Seward suspended above his country
like that which foretold the doom of Je-
rusalem, they base their hopes upon the
success of that standard, and hope for no
thing until another four years shall open
the way for them. X.
