Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

A melancholy affray, resulting In the
shooting and death of Alonzo Davis, a
young man of some twenty-four years of
age, by his uncle, John Carlton, occurr-
ed in Vershire, Wednesday, June 5th.-
From private letter from the vicinity,
written to friend here, we gather the
following particulars. There had for
years been trouble between Mr.. Win
throp Davis, father of the young man
killed, and Mr.. John Carlton, brother
in-law, occasioning high words and Of
fensive threats. A year since young
Davis was arrested for threatening to
shoot or whip Mr.. Carlton, and placed
under bonds. But some informality re-
specting the election of the officer serv-
ing the papers, led to a discontinuance
or dropping of the complaint. Young
Davis spent the winter n Massachusetts
and matters remained quiet in Vershire.
On his return in March the feud was re-
newed. 1t seems the Davises had fre-
quent occasion to cross Cartons premi-
ses, and were forbidden to do so, but still
persisted. On Wednesday last they
were crossing, accom- panied by small
dog. Carlton ordered them off, and
shot twice at the dog, intending to kill
it. He is also reported to have threat
ened to shoot the Davises if they did
not desist from crossing. Upon this the
Davises came toward Mr.. Carlton, and
the next thing known was by the out
cries raised, which attracted Mr.. John
son, near neighbor, who found the par
ties in lane leading from Johnson's s
land to Cartons. When Mr.. johnson
approached all were mixed in a struggle
old Mr.. Davis having hold of Mr.. Carl
toms revolver trying to wrest it from
him, while young Davis was lying at or
on Cartoons head. johnson took the
elderly Davis off of Carlton, while young
Davis got up himself, saying he was bad
ly wounded. He walked to Johnson's
house and lived some twelve house. 1t
was found ball had passed through his
body. Opinions differ of course in re-
gard to the criminality of the respective
parties, and the result of the investiga-
ton of the affair, which is now being
held by the Grand Jury at Chelsea, will
be awaited with considerable anxiety
Carlton Immediately went to Chelsea
and gave himself into the custody of the
officers of the law. The funeral of Da-
Wis was on Friday. tits most sad and
Iamentable affair, and should teach all
to keep double guard over hasty tenn

What Makes a Man.

Not numerous years nor heightened life.
Not pretty children and wife,
Not pins and chains and fancy rings,
Nor any such like trumpery things;
Not pipe. cigar nor bottled wine,
Nor liberty with kings TO dine:
Nor coat, nor boots nor yet a hat,
A dandy vest or trimmed crayat,
Nor all the worlds wealth laid in store F.;
Nor Mister. Reverend Sir, nor Squire,
With title that the memory tire;
Nor ancestry traced back to will.
Who went 10 Normandy to kill;
Not Latin Greek nor Hebrew lore,
Nor thousand volumes rambled DER;
Nor Judges robes nor Mayors mace.
Nor crowns that deck the royal race,
These, all united. never can
Avail to make single man.
A truthful soul. a loving mind.
Full of affection for its kind
A helper of the human race,
A soul Of beauty and of grace;
a spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bends the knee,
That will not bear a feathers weight
of slavery's chain, for small or great,
That truly speaks of God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despots make,
And loves the truth for its own sake;
That worships God and him alone;
That treInbles at no tyrant's nod
A soul that fears no one but God.
And thus can smile at curse and ban.
That is the soul that makes the man.

A Bear Hunt.

The incident of bears being seen on
Dog river in Berlin recalls bear story
we heard last winter. Some thirty-five
or forty years since, one day in early
winter, word was brought to Benz. Ar
buckle of Berlin, then young man at
work near this village, that the track Of
bear had been seen near Jones' brook,
just above where o. d. Jones now resides.
Mr.. Arbuckle at once shouldered his ri
file and went for that bear. Striking the
trail. he found it led off into Moretown,
and following it that day he supposed
himself at dark not far from his game,
and rested on his arms ready for the next
days battle. But the morning came
with no bear at hand, and another day
of fruitless following resulted. Bruin by
this time became sensible that the hun.
ters were on his track, and now began
to resort to system of turnings, doubles
and shifts that would do credit to pol
itician. Striking spruce or hemlock
ridge, where the thick, interlacing boughs
held the snow and kept it from the
ground, brqin would circle the hill en-
tirely and then leave in half opposite
direction from the course he had been
pursuing. At other times proceeding
straight across the knoll, he would double
and take his back tracks, and at a favor
able place make desperate leap down
the hill, and then take new depart.
ure " to throw the dogs and men from
the trail. Striking the hard wood tim
Der where footprints were easily discov-
cred, his bearship took no backward or
sideway tracks. He knew that there he
should leave
Footprints on the sno,es of time,
That the hunter tripping o'er the sleety main,
A torlorn and two-legged brother.
Seeing, should take heart again.
But the bears strategy had to succumb
to Mr.. Arbuckle's perseverance. After
another days pursuit, just at nightfall,
in Duxbury, under shelving ledge on
the west side of Camel's Hump il was
discovered that the bear was holed. and
the hunters rejoIced as greatly as the old
" coons ever did in the hard cider cam
paign of 1910, or when the "Kinderhook
fox" was holed. 1t was too late to dislodpe
their game that night, and the pursuers
now set to work to hold their prize till
morning. Logs were cut, and The entrance
to the cave thoroughly blockaded. Next
morning with slight reinforcement the
party proceeded to unearth, or unrock.
their victim. Various expedients were
resOrted to to drive or lure the animal
from bis den. But bruin had had enough
of run he preferred the retirement of
private life. Finally it was determined
to carry the entrenchment by storm.
NJ. Arbuckle of course was assigned the
advance, and he crawled into the den
with his rifle at halfcock. One Smith.
a brawny blacksmith with heavy ak,
was to support the advance detail, and

1.-The demand for an increase of laborers is great
the need Of labOrers is certainly extreme, whilst
the people perish for want Of the gospel just as
certainly here as they do in India, China, or Afr

abOrer is rewarded with richer harvest of ssears
here than he is in any other foreign missionary

Tender and afeetionate as a husband and father,
he was ever a considerate and charitable neighbor
and friend to those less comfortably circumstanced.
In his former resdence-the historical home of his

the most liberal benetactions to his poorer neigh

Died, May s, 1872, at "Greenway" Pulaski
county, Va, Mrs. CLEMENTINA HUDSON, relict of the
late Isaac Hudson, in the 18th year of her age.
Mrs. Hudson was the niece and adopted daughter
of the late Rev. John H. Rice, and spent much of
her early life under his roof and in the hospitable
mansion of Major Morton, at Wilmington. The ben
eft of such tuteage is apparent from her long life of
honored usefulness and eminent Christian integrity.
She was married at Morton, near Hampden Sidney,
in 1923, to Isaac Hudson, Esq. for many years a
faithful and respected ruling elder 6rstin the ehnrch
of New Dublin, and afterward of Bell Spring. A
union so happy, was blessed OF God, and both par
ents were spared to see seven children attain matu-
rity and usefulness. One entered the sacred office
of the gospel ministry, and having but tasted the
JOY of labor was called to the rest that "remaineth
for the people of God :" one fell in defense of his
native State in the battle OF Drury Bluff; while FIVE
survive to revere the memory and to emulate the
virtues OF such honored parentage.
