! BRING on YOUR BEARs.-The mighty bea
/ hunters of the Mad River country are Morris
/ Whitney of Fayston and William Marshall
of Waitsfeld. They have such a taking way
with them that they have within the last
month inveigled four huge bears into their
coy little log traps, and taken Bruin 5
scalp, peIt and tallow as recompense for
the entertainment to which they invited him.
| These bears were all caught on Fayston hills
AMI it is pretty evident the bears will not be
allowed to colonize in that town Their
only safety seems to be in crossing over the
mountain into Hancock, where our friend
Bull will let them have peace till he has
harvested his fail crop of woodchucks.

should be caught he will find the road to
