A Bear LooseIHe Kills 2 Boy and Fatally
The Portage Lake Gazette tells this horrible
story
Just as we 90 to press, we learn that the peo.
pie of Marquette, residing in the vicinity of the
fremont House, were thrown into great excite
ment on Tuesday afternoon by the fearful con-
duct of a bear belonging to German butcher
living in that neighborhood. 1t seems that
Joseph McCreary, a person in the employ of
r,B Bros livery had
was kept chained, and the animal broke
loose and made rush for him (Mc-
Creary), whom he soon had in his embrace, and
commenced hugging. McCreary was not long
in freeing himself only to be set upon again by
the bear, who tore and lacerated his body in a
frightful manner. By this time crowd had
gathered around the bear and his bleeding vic
Jim and by means of some well-directed blows,
delivered by some of the number, he was in
duced to let go of the unfortunate man, who
wassimmediately taken home by his friends.
AS soon as the bear left McCreary, he started
on a run out of the yard, and, rushing up the
street, darted into the first open door he came
to- which was that of billiard room, which at
the time was occupied by three men, among
whom was the proprietor and man who was
very much under the influence of liquor. Mr..
Hanley, the proprietor of the saloon, saw the
bear coming, and, thinking discretion the better
part of valor, jumped out of a window and
made his escape. The bear paid no attention
to the intoxicated man, but rushed after the
other remaining person, who made his exit
into the street, closely followed by the bear,
whose attention just then was attracted by
another open door further up the street. and
for which he made but before he reached the
same it was closed so that he could
not get in. Just then little boy who happened
to be standing near Hurley's livery stable was
espled by the bear, who rushed upon the lad
and inflicted such injuries on the person of the
poor little fellow that he died that evening. The
crowd then followed after the bear, and he was
again assailed with all kinds of missiles, but 1t
was not till his throat had been cut that he left
| the boy and started over the street, where he
| was run down and finally killed. McCreary, at
| last accounts was not expected to live.

A LEAP FOR LIFE.

Courageous Act of Young Lady of Georgia.
The Sumter Republican Of the 18th instant, after
giving an account OF destructive fire IN that town,
goes on to say
There is one act connected with this calamity
deserving particular mention, which caused dis
play Of bravery and courage never surpassed and
but seldom equalled, and which marks its author as
a perfect heroine. Miss Sallie Maxwell, In her
efforts to save everything OF value in the house that
she could, was delayed in the second story of the
building until the fire had destroyed the lower story
so much that there was danger of the walls falling
in every minute. Seeing her danger, she gathered
few articles for the purpose of taking final leave
OF the house. On entering the hall from the room
she was in, to her horror and dsmay she saw that
the stairway was in a solid sheet of flame. There
was only one way Of escape now, and that was
through the upper windows, where the fiery ele-
ments had not communicated itself. Going
out on the top of the colonuade her awful situa-
ton was Immediately realized by the crowd
below, and the anxiety depicted on every counte-
nance showed the deep feeling that stirred the soul
of every one. ladder was brought but it was too
short to reach the roof, and was of no avail With
the cracking flames behind and around, and max
ing the most rapid headway imaginable, every mo-
ment was precious beyond computation The only
chance for life now was to jump from the high place
on which she was standing mattress was brought,
and being firmly held by strong men, with spirit
undauDted and intrepid, she made the leap from the
point she occupied, embracing in its curve at least
sixty feet reaching the ground with comparative
safety, and, with the exception OF the shock and
concussion of so high jump, entirely unhurt.

Reported Loss of the steamer Cambria.
NEW YORK, Oct 21.-This afternoons COM
naercial says:-"A telegram, dated from Lon
don, Oct. 20, in the Euening Neaos, reports the
loss of the steamer Cambria. AS the steamer
Cambria, of the Anchor line, left this port on
the 9Th inst, for Glasgow, it might be considered
as referring to the latter. AS the agents here of
the Cambria have received no news of any dis
aster to the vessel, the report is either false
one or refers to some other vessel. The only
ship of the name that has been lost lately within
our knowledge was the British vessel bound
from Bahia to Galveston, and was wrecked on
the bar of the latter port on Oct. 6, but no lives
were lost.
