wretched prisoners who have been flung in
the Yorkyille Jail. in South Carolina, and
thus describes his interview with them:

TREEDBY BEARS. Tho Detroit Pree
Press gives the following account of how
the hunter became tho hunted.
A man named Charles Tyrell was hunt
ing on the st. Clair river when two bears
appeared Somewhat excited he leveled
his rifle and fred, and tho next moment
both bears were coming down upon him at
full speed The hunters saw that they meant
business, each uttering fierce growls. and
he dropped his gun. caught hold Of the
limb Of small oak tree. and swung his legs
up just in time to'saye his boots. AS he
expected, one Of them WINS not long in at
tempting to secure close acquaintance.
The animal got MP about seven feet, and
then the limbs refused to let him by. lie
paved, bitand growled at i great rate, and.
| IN making big effort 70 push away the
limbs, fell u the ground. Tyrell com
menced shouting, which excited the bears
and one Of them was quickly up to the
! limbs again, when the hunter struck a
match and dropped il down on bruins head.
| frightening him 50 that he went down the
tree at d lively rate. The hunter had a.
bout dozen matches with him. and every
time the bears started to climb he would
! light one and let it fall. the trick never
failing to stop their ascent. After time
both seemed % 81 away, and the hunter
carefully commenced to descend. He was
Just about to touch the ground when both
the bears came charging at him out of the
darkness and he had to go up again. one o.
his boots being raked BY claws before b
was above tho limbs. The animals made
no further effort TO climb the tree, bul
tore round for full hour at its base. Ty-
| rell dared not descend for fear that they had
laid d snare for him, and passed the entire
night astride Of limb. In the morning
lie found the bear he had fred at dead Al
the foot Of the gree. but the other had dis
nppeatsd, and the hunter got safely off viii
the spell.

We have always regarded gratitude as
feeling which is hardly susceptible Of be-

One of the fOulest murders that stains
the records of crime was lately enacted in
Indiana upon the family Of Mr. Parker near
Henryyille--that gentleman, his wife, son
and two daughters being inhumanly butch
cred. The murderers turned out to be
three negroes, who we're arrested ana put
in jail at Charleston, but they were not
there long before mob of $50 Disguised
men took them ont and hanged each scoun-

An Irishman'took contract to dig q

feet down, he came one morning and found
it cased in--flled nearly to the top. Pat

into some bushes aud waited events. In a
short ;;ime the citizens discovered that the

and cont on the windlass they supposed he
was at the bottom Of the excavation. On
" few hours Of brisk digging cleared
loose earth from the we'll. just as the ea-

wondered where the body was. Pat came
out Of the bushes. and good naturally
thanked them for relieving him Of sorry

anything more than hearty laugh, which

DAYS WITHOUT NIGHT.

DR.. Baird. says there is nothing that
strikes a stranger more forcibly, if he visits
Sweden. at the season of the year when the
days are longest, than the absence of night.
pr. Baird had no conception Of it before his
arrival. he arrived at Stockholm. from
Gottenburg, 400 miles distant. in the
morning. and in the afternoon went to see
some fricnds-had not taken notes of time
and returned about midnight; it was as
light as it is here half an hour before sun
down. You could see distinctly.
But all was quiet in the streets; it SEEM
ed as if the inhabitants were gone away. or
were dead. No signs Of lifc--stores clos
ed.
The sun in June goes down atStockholm
a little before ten o'clock. There isa greas
illumination all night, as the sun passes
round the earth toward the north pole, and
the refraction of its rays IS such that you
can see to read at midnight. Dr. Baird
read letter in the forest, near Stockholm,
at midnight, withoutartiicial light. There
is mountain at the head of the Bothnia,
where. on the 2lst Of June, the sun does
not 60 down at all. Travellers 20 there
to see it. A steamboat goes up from Stock
holm for the purpose Of carrying those who
are curious to witness the phenomenon. It
only occurs one night. The sungoes down
to the horizon, you can see the whole face
Of it, and in iyeminutes il begins to rise.
At the North Cape, lat. ~ degrees, the
sun does not 60 down for several weeks. In
June it would be about 25 degrees above
the horizon at midnight The way the peo-
pie there know it is midnight. they see the
sun rise. The changes ir :.;csc high lati-
tudes. from summer to winter, arcso great
that VIC can have no conception ii them az
all. In the winter time. the sun disappears
and is not seen for weeks. Then it comes
and shows its face. Afterwards. itre,nains
for ten, fifteen. Or twenty minutes and iLen
descends. and finally it does not set at all.
but makes almost circle around the hea-
yens. DIR. Baird was asked how they ma
mayed in regard % hired persons. and what
they consider day. lie could not say,
but supposed they worked BY the hour, and
twelve hours would be considered a days
work.
Birds and animals take their accustomed
rest at usual hours. The doctor did not
know how they learnt the time. but they
bad, and 60 70 rest whether the sun goes
down Or not. Tic hens take to the trees
about Z Z. NJ. and stay there until the sun
is well up in the morning; and the people
get into this habit Of late rising too. The
FIRST morning Dr. Baird awoke ia Stockholm
be was surprised to sec the sun shining into
bis room. lie looked al bis watch. and
found it was only three o'clock, the next
time he awokc, il was Eve O'Clock; but
there were no persons in tic street. The
Swedcs in the cities are not very in1ustri-
Gus. owing probably to the climate.
