TRINITY NEWS.

From the Trinity Press of October 10th
We gather the following
From Fleming Chandler, and Charles
Davis, who came in from Minersville on
Sunday, we learned the particulars OF a
novel bear hunt in that locality. Tommy
Mullen, who has some cattle on range
there, while riding about, came ac. oss a
large black bear, and without any weapon
but an oS-whip drove bruin over two miles
to within quarter of mile of camp, head
ing him off from escape and keeping him
out in the open timber, until finally he
treed him. Mullen then went to camp,
got his gun, came back and killed the bear,
and skioed him right there. The bear was
about year and a-haKold, and weighed
about ESQ pounds. Ibis is Mullen's first
bear fight, and it certainly is an xtiaordi-
nary one. MIR. Chandler, who is himself
an old horseman, having been Ranger in
Mexico and Texas, says that Tommy Null
len 10 the best horseman be has ever seen.
He has fine horse, used to driving and
herding stock, and he drove the bear be-
fore him just as he would any animal of
bis here. Bruin lodged and tried to es-
cape, but Mullen, like the Irish soldier
who took the prisoner, surrounded" him,
aud whipped him on, until he at last drove
him up the tree. Young Mullen's home
is in Shasta county; we don't know whcth-
er they raise many such bear hunters over
there. or not; but it isn't healthy for bears
10 come fooling around him.
Samuel Farrell was lodged in Jail on
Sunday night, on the charge of shooting
his wife and Lars Anderson, at Douglas
City. We obtain the fnllowing particulars
from Mr.. Charles Lobdell, who arrested him:
Farrell ard Anderson had been on a spree.
On Sunday afternoon, Anderson came up
from Farrelrs with an ugly wound in his
arm, and reported that he had been shot by
Farrell, and that he thought Farrell would
shoot his wife. Mr.. Mooney went down to
Farreifs, aud after coming back, stated
that Mrs. Farrell had been struck in the
bead with the gun, aud cut. Mr.. Lobdell
got out q warrant, and went to arre,t Far
rell, when he found that Mrs. Farrell had
been shot, the balls striking her over the
eye She was out of her mind. Doctor
Chaupcey was called in to attend her. 1t
Is feared that she cinnOt recover. MIR.
Lobdell says tn t six buckshot ruck her,
some lodging just under the scalp The
prisoner, in conversation, with Mr.. Lobdell,
claimed that he accidentally shot his wife
when he shot at Anderson and said that
Anderson had insulted his WIFE, We do
not endeavor to give the detailed counts
Of this affair, as it will be the subject Of
Judicial Investigation.

A WosD OF CAUTIoN-The season is
coming when our citizens will have to set
up their stoves, and too much care cannot
be exercised in seeing that every precaution
is taken to guard against fires. AT this
time of the year every piece Of woodwork
is inaammable as tirder, and will continue
SO until dampened by the first rains OF
winter. In fitting up stove-p pipes be sure
that the joints are carefully closed and
every other precaution taken, or we may
have another Chicago on small scale at
home.

SEND US THE RETURNs.-We will
esteem it favor if the election officers in
each precinct will send us a copy of the
vote in their respective precincts. We
would be glad if possible, to give the result
in the COURIER on the Saturday following
the election.

The Real Velpau Female Pills

These Pills, SO celebrated many years ago in
Paris, for the relief Of female Irregularities, and
afterwards for their criminal en- p loym ept in the
practice of abortion, are now offered for sale for
the frs. time in America. They have been kept
in comparative obscurity from the fact that the
originator, DIR. Velpau, is physician in Paris,
Of great wealth, and has strict conscientioursprin
ciples, and has withheld them from general use,
lest they should be employed for unlawful par-
poses.

Several woman and children of Centre
Harbor found shelter in a sbanty
surrounded by the flames. Two or
three men with them drew shawls over
their heads, plunged through the fire
ana smoke to the lake, dipped up water
by the pailful at a time, poured it upon
their house Of refuge and barely sue
ceeded in saving it.
The ferocity and velocity of the fire
dashed by the gale were marvellous. A
Mrs. Richards, Of Rock Falls, on her
way to neighbours. was struck down
in the road and burned to death. Mr..
Corbett, of White Rock. was also burned
to death, while walking on the road.
Seven children of Mr.. Mann, living
between Rock Falls and Elm Creek, ran
from home and the fire, and have not
been heard from since.
The wife OF Mr.. Charles Mcmillan, of
Paris, was confined to her bed with
child only a few hours old. The fire
drove her from the bed with the babe
in her arms, child in one hand, and
two other children following her. Her
mother, little way behind her, was
caught by the flames while passing
through the gateway and persisted there.
Since Vesuvius burned the people OF
Pompeii in hot ashes, perhaps the world
has known no tragedies like those en-
acted in our northwestern woods this
deadly autumn.
