HUNTING FOR BEARS.
From The GIlroy Adyocate.l

Two young English noblemen-the
Earl Of Ranfurly and the Viscount Of
Cohc-tourists OF this coast, had q mar
row escape M day last week In tho
San Bonito mountains, from a bear.
They wsre In tho chapparal not more
than ten feet from Bruin when first
discovered, and was savagely ap-
preaching them. The young sports,
with more bravery than judgment
perhaps, stood their ground till the
enemy was within six feet, when both
took deadly aim and killed tho mon
ster. They repaired with their trophy
to San Juan. The bear weighed 700
pounds. We doubt II any Of our Cali
fornia hunters could have done better.
They wero bound to kill the bear, they
told us, "or die In the attempt"
They are both intelligent, modest,
highly cultivated young men, plain
and unassuming, without frills or bal
derdssh. and II they are a fair speci-
men Of English nobility, she may we'll
feel proud OF this favored class.

DAsrARDLY AcT.-Last evening near
IL o'clock, says the White Pine Ne,cs
Of Saturday, the screams Of q woman
were heard In q house In the lower
part Of tho town. Two miners from
Treasure Hill were passing along at
the time, and judging that foul play Of
some kind was going on. they started
to enter the house. Tho door was bolt
cd on the inside. They broke the door
In and found q man. or rather brute,
pounding his wlfe. The fellow showed
fight, but was quickly subdued, aud
taken out OF the house. His captors
started to deliver him to the of1cers,
but on promise Of reformation let him
of. It Is time that women Founders
were brought to grief.

An UNPLRAsANr DEATH.-Our Yves.
tern Indians were long supposed to be
tho greatest experts at torture, but the
Chinese. It seems, are more advanced
In the fendish capacity. A Court at
Hong Kong lately condemned a Grim.
inal to be Killed by w~akefulness. The
culprit, a strong and healthy man,
was kept awake constantly for fifteen
days, his suffering for the last few
hours being Of the most excruciating
character. At last he dropped down
aud the heart ceased to beat. Roast
Ing alive Is a mercy compared with
such torture.

DUBIOUS ABOUT GREELEY.

The Reese River RscsiHe Il, after
all. a little shaky In Its Endorsement OF
Horace's nomination for President by
the Cincinnati Convention, and does
not seem inclined to fully "stand In"
with the rest Of u, for the varisgated
old "pl''-plant. Hear the first Impress
sion Of the Reoeille on the subject:
"The long-talked Of convention OF
the Liberal Republicans has made Its
nominations and the result Is before
the people. Mr.. Greedy Is an able
journslist, and we believe IN honest,
constellation, msn, who enjoys the
confidence Of his party-of which he
may be said to be the ~father--and Will
doubtless BE- able to draw as many
votes from tho ranks Of the admins.
tration forces ~ any person that could
have been nominated, but his long an
tagonism so the principles Of the Dem-
ocratic party will not be likely TO com
mend his nomination to the favorable
consideration Of the Democratic Ma
tlonal Convention, without the indorse-
msnt Of which his election Is lmpossi-
BILE. We have not yet received even a
synopsis OF the platform adopted, ana
therefore are not able to judge whether
or not It Il broad enough to accommo-
date all the opposition to the present
administration. Things political are
fearfully mixed, but we will venture
the prophecy that the recent Cincinnati
nominations will not be Endorsed by
the National Democratic Convention. ;
Now. swe. fear that the Rereitie Is en-
inently correct and clear-headed in the
matter, and that the Democracy will
eventually backslide from Its at pres
ent not very enthusiastic Endorsement
of the great journalistic ranchero.
will they thus ~barefacedly 60 back on
the old man, give him the cold should
err, aud leave the Liberal Republicans
and their shoulder-seam Shurz to
shoulder him through unassisred?
.1Can such things b. ?"etc.
It Is discouraging also to notice the
tone Of the English press In the mat
ter-about as bad as the ReoeiHe. The
morning kilograms from London state
It thus:
Tho Times says the nomination OF
Greeley Il farcical and his election
hopeless but that It kills Grants
chance of q reelection and makes the
Democratic nominee certain Of success.
The Post believes Greeley will be
successful II his nomination Is Endorsed
by either Of the other conventions to
be held, but thinks this Is impossible,
The Telegraph says the nomination
directly concerns England, because he
Is hostile to the Treaty Of Washington
and a blgoted protectlonist.
The Nsps praises Greeley. but
doubts his fitness for the position OIL
Chief Magistrate Of a great Republic
Now what has Horace done that his
brethren Of the press should not In
dorss him unqualidedly, uncomprom-
isingly, first, last and all the time :
But then the British judgment may be
warped, and prejudiced in view Of
Greeley's strong protective tariff pro-
clivities. Let them all desert Horace
II they will; he will run on his own
merits and those Of his friends, reli-
giously believing In the luminous Idea
of "auythlng to beat Grant" The
rebels acted on that proposition during
the last war.

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to 6
crisis are not the only ones to be dread.
ed. Canker or dry rot does not blast g
tree as suddenly as stroke Of lightning
but unless arrested it destroys it as GER
tainly; and in like manner chronic de-
bility, although it does not kill with the
swiftness of yellow fever, isas sure to
sap the springs of life eventually as any
acute disease, if not checked by invigo-
rating medication. There is something
inexpressibly touching in the spectacle OF
premature decay. Languor, pallor, ema-
citation, depression of spirits, and dis
taste for exertion, are its ordinary symp.
toms, and they should be promptly met
by tonic treatment. The best invigorant
and exhilarant that can be administered
in case of this kind is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. The stimulating principle
of the preparation rouses the dormant
energies Of the system, and the strength
ening and regulating properties give a
permanent and healthful impulse to the
vital forces thus brought into play. The
falling appetite is re-awakened, the pro-
cess of digestion and assimilation are
quickened, the quality of the blood is
improved, the secretions become more
natural, and every organ that contributes
to the nourishment of the body under
goes salutary change. By these means
the repair of the physical structure is eff
fected and its health and vigor restored.
In no class of diseases has the beneEcent
operation of the Bitters been more mark
ed and striking than in those character
lied by general debility and nervous
prostration. Ladies affected with these
ailments find in this most wholesome of
all tonics and oorrectives the safest and
surest means of relief. 1t is strong to
restore and powerless to injure. Such is
the uniform testimony of "clouds of wit
nesses.''

We allude to OR Railroad charter-the
charter of the proposed Road from Spar
tanburg via Laurens, Ninety Six and
Edgefeld, to Aiken or Augusta. The
proposition for this charter passed the
House safely some ten days ago. But
what has become of it in the Senate? We
neither hear nor read word about it.
And hope deferred maketh the heartsick.
Where is it, Senator Arnim !? We look to
you. We trust upon you. We beg you
neither to slumber nor sleep. And, fur
ther, we beg you to remember how this
charter business, on former occasion,
was delayed so late in the session, that
the opportunity was given to Scott to
pocket and hide (which, of course, he
did. Let him not have such another
chance. if possible.
