himself up, reeled a moment and then
went for them. Kinney had Just thrown
up his gun to fire when, stepping in a
mire hole he fell. Sam Immediately
seized his hand to help him out but
gave only one pull, for the bear, nearer
than he supposed, rose to seize him. Sam
raised his needle-gun, but the grzzly
sturck it out of his hand before he could
fire. The dreadful paw was raised again.
Did Sam see it? What suspense and
horror was the lot of the helpless look
ers-on when they saw that dreadful blow
descending on Sans apparently uncon-
scious head. But Sam did see it, and
jumped sideways from it, but only
enough 10 break the force of the blow.
Struck on the side of the head, he fell
senseless in the mire. The bear, now
weak from loss of blood, reeled mp to
finish his victim, but came within the
reach of Kinney, still stuck in the mud.
who stabbed it desperately in the
shoulder with heavy bowie knife.
The grizzly turned, stood on its hind
feet, but stabbed again---this time in the
heartfelt dead in its tracks.
Thus ends, according to Western
mountaineers, the most exciting bear
hunt that has taken place in the Crock"
or its branches for many years. The
dead grizzly was female, and about
the weight of an average heifer, very
large, with terrible teeth and claws. All
the party are now glad to have had the
encounter, and to have it over, except
Sam Smith, poor fellow, who, however,
is doing well. - ..----..--..-,

SAGACITY OF BIRDs.--A great mental
quality which birds seem to have III ex-
cess of other animals is very fine cal
culatiOn of distance, and this, too, in di-
rect subordination of their own well be
ing. 1t has been shown again and again
and Mr.. Lieth Adams refers to facts in r
supper; Of it in this essay--thatas weap-
ons of offeuse are invited many species
of birds narrowly observe the range of
the new bows or guns, and keep out of
range, of ever troubling themselves to
go at all farther than is necessary to be
out ofTrange. Quite recently We have
read, though we cannot verify the ref
erence at present, of some birds which ;
adapt themselves, within few days, to
the increased range for the first time,
having been previously accustomed only
to the fowling-piece, and kept Just out
side the 5000 yards range, or whatever
it WAS, retaining their composure per-
fectly at that distance. We suppose
the wonderful accuracy of the yelling
birds III striking the exact point for '
which they are bound, of which Mr. Z
Leith Adams gives us wonderful Illus 2
trations, is still greater proof of the =
same power. Mr.. Adams tells us OF
swifts which, after eight months abb
sence in the South, at distance of some
1900 or l 900 miles, return not merely 3,
to the same region, but to the same
nests, which they had deserted, and that
too year after year, the individuals hay- B.
ing been marked so that there could be
no mistake as to their identity, unless
indeed there be such creatures as 'claim-
ants to abandoned nests, even in the
ornithoiOgical world. Again, the deli
cate adoption Of the power of geometri-
measurement to the welfare of its
species, seem to be shown by the wea-
yer bird of India, which hangs its "elab-
orately constructed, purse-shaped nest" Q
''from the tops of branches overhanging
deep wells, III order to render it par
ticularly difficult for enemies to get at o
the nest without running great risk of %

finally overcame Jcwctt and crushed
him To the floor, when the latter placed

Love and Murder.

Another instance of the strange in
fatuation which possesses some minds
occurred in the little town of Hudson.
\. H., last Saturday. A Young man
named Henry ,Jcwett sought the hand
in marriage of Ella Wood. Miss Wood
ment; but there is nothing to show that
she treated him scorntully. haIshly. or
III any way that was unhecoming IL
lady. On the contrary. it appears that
the Wood family allowed Jcwett the
use of their home. and III other ways
treated him kindly. ON Saturday, Jew
EFT again pressed his suit upon Miss
Wood. and when She still refused ne
drew the cNcr-prcScnt revolver. and
discharged it at her. The ball passed
harmlessly 10y. Meanwhile the father.
who was not far away. hearing the dis
turhance, rushed into the room and
seized the murderer: but before he
could thUart his designs. .Jcwett had
fired second shot and his victim
fell to the floor. a ball piercing her
forehead. We trust the first report
will prove correct. that the wound j.
not mortal. The father of the voun"
lady succeeded in .ovcrpowcring the
assassin. and dragging him forth from
his house. left him to die by his own
hands-a fitting termination to his muir
dcrous career.
1t is difficult to conceive the passion
which seeks the death of one towards
whom such expressions of love and
fidelity have just been made hut there
have been several similar instances of
late to that of these Young people of
Hudson; and if such things continue.
il will become the fathers of maIliara-
bile young ladies to stand guard over
them with loaded firearms while they
are receiving attentions from Young
gentlemen, who may at any moment
turn murderers rs well as lovers.
In this connection it is some Satisfac-
ton to record that the medical com
mission report Albert II. Smith sane.
and he will he hanged next Friday. II
will he remembered that Smith had
been paving attentions to Jennie Bates
