A few days since. Daniel +. Mills Of
Mason discovered bear up IN beech
tree, about twenty feet from the ground (;
having nothing but gun loaded with
small shot, he gave bruin the contents CT
that i'm the neck. which sort oi disgusIed
the old fellow, so that Mills thought ii
best 10 leave the Tree but luckily at this
time, T. l.. Wheeler OF Albany. appeared
on the scene of action with n gun loaded
with balls, the contents OF which he gave
his majesty in the region of the neck.
which fairly made him mad he began to
misirust il was not all for fun. and he
showed symptoms that he so understood
it; but Mills having got balls Of Wheeler,
reloaded his gun in 4 short time, and by
well directed aim lodged ball directly
in the back of the neck, which brought
the bear to the ground hleless. He was
an old ranger, his teeth were worn to
stubs, and his toe-nais were blunt as n
mans fingers; his hind feet we're nine
inches long. and his forward ones five
inches across his fore arms extended

carcass would have doubtle.s weighed

4 Retrospectire Glance.

With the last No. Of the OXFORD Demo
crat closed the fourth year Of our connec'
ton with the paper We came into the
County, at that time. comparative
stranger, and find ourselves, after the
lapse OF SO long 4 period but partially
familiar with our readers or the interests
of the County. We are very thankful to
the patrons OF the paper for their con-
tinued goodwill and support. We have
been cheered by many tokens of favor.
and by substantial expressions in the adj
ditions to our subscription list, and other
business in our line. We have been en-
abled to add to our establishment several
Improvements. The Democrat has been
enlarged, and clad in . new dress, during
the time. We have added new Power
Press, CaloIic Engine. modern and
fast job Press. with Paper Cutter and
new Job Type.
These OUTLAWS have been appreciated
by our patrons. as evidenced by IN in.
crease Of patronage We had. at first,
the whole County ior field, with no
competitor. Since then, three printing
establishments have been opened, which
have issued papers. One OF these, the
Nor1ray Messenger. has been discon-
tinued. The Mechanic Fails Herald
Office, on our border, has also been clos
ed-but the Bridgton Ne,rs, smart pa
per, and the Oxford Register, a political
opponent, still live, ana take no incon-
siderable share of the business which
used 10 fall 10 Us. Still, Notwithstanding
this, our business has been steadily in
creasing, and we have no cause for COM
plant Live, and let live is our
motto
We shall endeayor 10 merit the con-
t.nued favor Of our friends Our aim
has been 10 give our paper a distinetire
local and County character, and our
hearty thanks are rendered TO those who
have so kindly furnished US items of local
interest, upon which we have so much
depended We beSpeak their continued
aid; and shall enter upon new year
with unasgging courage. and de-
termination TO make the oxford Democrat

Last Tuesday evening was Halloween
the eve of the festival of All Hallows or
All Saints, and lot OF young sprites,
with .prinkling of older ones, gather.
ell at our house, and held "high jinks"
till after midnight. with their spells.
charms and Supers;itious prophecies.
The occasion is observed extensively in
Catholic communities, and somewhat in
the South The first experiment was
"dueking for apples" or drawing an ap-
pie from dish Of water by the teeth,
red and yellow apples were used, with
names attached-the former for the young
ladies.-Long noses were in the way IN
this game-,he ''pugs" had the best OF it..
II made fun enough. The young ladies
tried hard to secure IN apple. for upon
their success depended their matrimonial
chances for the year The apples were
then named and the seeds counted, after
which the pretty song. of which the fol.
lowing is the first verse. was sung;
'One love, two love, three love, say,
Pour love with all my heart, ave east away [;
Counting seeds is not the way
A body's love 70 prove,
For the very one east away,
l. just the one love"
Another trial was The snatching OF
raisins from \ large platter of burning
alcohol, in darkened room The one
who got the last raisin was to be married
first; if raisin was lett in the platter.
no marriage would occur during the year.
On re.lighting the room, one was found,
much TO the annoyance Of anxious ones,
as consequently no marriage ceremony
would occur in that crowd this year.
Then came the melting of lead, and
dropping some into water. The form OF
the image made was TO designate the &C.
cupation OF future husband. Most OF
the ladies succeeded admirably in draw
ing agricultural implements. Then the
telling of fortunes by the "wierd old
gypsy" who made some good hits
Games followed till midnight, when the
young misses took looking glasses and
went down The cellar stairs backwards,
or down into the lawn, and alter saying

them the faces of their future husbands
especially when one OF the young gentle,
men stole quietly behind and looked over
their shoulders.
