According to the Sunrise; this is the way
they do" bear-hunting in Mapleton: While
Charles II. Pease was blazing trees in Maple
ton plantation, he saws bear, a sight so rare, it
raised his perspiration. As he'd no gun
he quickly run to save himself from
slaughter; his axe he swung,-he jumped and
sprung to give the foe wide quarter
Though scored was Pease, with trembling
knees, yet no less scared was Bruin; for out
he struck to save his pluck-so both escaped
from ruin. This scene occcured the twenty
third of August, seventy-one, when Pease and
bear both Heightened were, and each inclined
to run.

selves.

A Country In Flames.

The prairie to the south of Breckin-
ridge, the terminus of the main line of
the st. Paul and Pacific Road, on the
Red River, Minnesota, took fire, and
famed by the high wind which pre-
vailed Mt the time, spread with frightful
rapidity. No one but those who have
lived upon the immense prairies Of the
West can form any idea what fearful,
awe-inspiling, terrific sight it is to see
the fire run riot over hundreds of miles
Of territory, covered only with fuel to
feed the insatiate monster which travels
with the speed Of the wind, devouring
everything in it's course. Any attempt
to describe the grandeur of such sight
would be worse than useless. Starting
at first from n small beginning, the
flames gradually spread out, gathering
force with every gust of wind, constantly
widening their course, until with mad,
iotous fury they leap and plunge III
every direction, licking up everything in
their march, like Il very demon of de-
struction, until they remind the awe-in-
splred beholder of that scene which the
children Of Israel beheld, when they
were led by ga pillar of the cloud by
day" and ga pillar of fire by night. +"
AT such time everything living flies in
terror, for it it is worse than useless to
contend with the fiery monster whose
breath "burneth like an oven"
Such n scene the residents of the State
west of the Chg Woods" along the
st. Paul and Pacific Road, have wit
messed From small beginning some
where near the western boundary of the
State, the fire spread until it reached
the big Woods" $50 miles from the
point of starting In striking the woods
it was not stayed in its course, but the
flames Selling upon the dry under
brush, and from thence to the tall trees
of the forest, it extended its line for a
distance of fifteen miles in the heavy
timber until it reached Smith Lake
When once fairly under Roadway in the
timber, the scene is described as grand
beyond the power of pen or pencil pic
tue. Roaring, cracking, with sound
that could be heard for miles, the flames
tore their way, leaving behind Il black
cned, smoking, desolate waste to mark
their onward march. Everything i'll
their course was destroyed. The grain
and hay-stacks, the corn-ields, fences,
and, in some instances, we have heard
of the rude homes and scanty house
hold goods OF the settlers, all fell prey
to the insatiate monster. The terror
stricken people fled, leaving all their
worldly possessions behind, thankful to
escape with their lives.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss
caused by this widespread conhagra-
ton. At last accounts the fire was still
raging north of the line OF the road
and where it will be stopped cannot be
told, We very much fear that were the
full particulars Of the loss known, it
would show the destruction of in i'm
menso amount Of grain, hay, fences, &C.,
NC, in the territory over which the de-
stroying element has swept and is still
sweeping Minnesota paper.

was the neighborhood in which the fire
originated in tlmult of excitement,
hut the whole populace tlocked into the
streets and when it became evident
that the fire would sweep through the
very heart of the city, no language can
describe the horror and despair of the
people. Many hurried to and fro in the
desperate desire to do something to save
| their property and protect their families,
women shrieked and wrung their hands,
ard the air was loaded with the sounds
of lamentation and despair. Goods were
hurried into the streets only to be over
taken and swept into ashes by the flames.
In the hopelessness of doing anything
to avert or mitigate the appalling dlsas-
ter, thousands fled from the scene, they
scarce knew whittier None dared in
qllire for the fate Of friends and neigh
bors, and none can tell how many failed
i'll that terrible night and morning to
escape from the foe that had burst upon
the city with such fearful power. The
horrors of the scene can hardly he mag
med in their full intensity. Railroad
trains leaving the city were loaded with
people fleeing from the scene Of destruc-
ton.
There was Of course, heavy insurance
on the property burned Chicago has
been built up SO rapidly that most of it's
business blocks were mortgaged and of
course insured, but how much will be
realized from this source it is difficult to
tell. The risks we've in Eastern compa-
MES and they will suffer SO severely that
many of them must break down. There
were probably $4,000, 900 worth of grain
and provisions stored in the city at the
time of the fire, nearly all of which was
destroyed.
The appalling disaster which has be-
fallen Chicago recalls like fearful calam-
tiles to other cities.
BY the fire in London, Sept. 26, A. D.
1866, known as the Great Fire, 400
streets were laid waste, 1920 houses
were burned, and 80 churches
On the 10th of December 1885, New
York was swept by the devouring ele-
ment, and GAS of the most valuable
stores, the Merchants Exchange, the
South Dutch Church and property val
ued at more than Sl8,000,OO0 was lost
in the flames This conhagration took
place in the First Ward, east of Broad
way, and below Wall street. On July
10, 1915, another great fire occurred in
the city, between Broadway, Exchange
Place, Broad and Stone streets, and So
600, 600 were lost.
One of the largest fires in the United
States, of late years, was that in Port
land, Maine, on July 1, 1866 Sixteen
hundred buildings were burned, with Il
loss Of $50, 100000, upon which there
was an insurance of only 81, 5OJ,0 00.

Better than That.

And have said, and say it ever,
As the years go on and the world goes over,
'Twere better to be content and clever,
In tending of cattle and tossing of clover,
In the grazing Of cattle and the growing of
grain,
Than strong man striving for fame or gain
BE even as kline in the rod-tipp'd clover;
For they lie down and their rests are rests,
And the days are theirs, come sun come rain,
70 He rise mp, and repose again;
While we wish, yearn, and do pray in vain,
And hope to ride on the pillows Of bosoms,
And hope to rest in the haven of breasts,
Till the heart is cickcn'd and the fair hope dead
BE even as clover with its crown Of blossoms,
Even as blossoms cle the bloom is shed,
kiss'd by kline and the brown sweet bee
For these have the sun, and moon, and air,
And never bit of the burden of care
And with all Of our caring what more have we ?
would court content like lover lonely,
would WOO her, win her, and wear her only,
And never so over this white sea wall
For gold or glory or for aught ut all.

CRUEL AT the Chicago stock yards
the customary practice of handling dis
abled hogs is TO jerk them up to the
SHAMELESS, by placing IN iron hook
through their jaws, and thus hauling
them uP an inclined plane by steam
power. Two or three butchers, who
were sworn, described, with the utmost
Sa"q-froid, the process, telling how it
was often five minutes, and sometimes
much more, after the animals are thus
lacerated before the knife puts an end
to their misery. 1t is suggested that
this is a good field for the Humane So
ciety to operate in.
