A Bear Story.

In olden times in the Kanawha, before
our river had been improved or the keel
boatman ha, found an easy way up its
shaded channel Tor his rude craft, salt
water was discovered and boiled by fires
made from the timber of the surround
ing forest. In that day there was no
depots of provision nearer than Pitts
burg, and the hogs, cows and sheep
brought from old Virginia were generally
fdevoured by panthers, bears and wolves
before they had remained long in the
valley; so that the salt makers had to
depend on killing the game of the coun-
try to feed their wood choppers and other
employees. Among the early hunters
for the new manutacturerss was a man
who had Just been henorably discharged
from the first enlistment OF the war OF
1872 He stood six feet two inches in
his moccasins, and without an ounce of
surplus flesh, weighed over 200 pounds.
His reputation as a fighter and hunter
spread as wide as the mountain settle
nlents had reached. Many were the bear
fights in which he engaged, and in every
one come off the victor. and brought the
meat OF his victim to his employees. In
short, he was acknowledged to be the
champion fighter as well as the best
hunter in the valley, and such acknowl-
edgements were not made without actual
trial, in as many bloody rings as there
were pretenders to the right to wear the
champion belt. Those were days when
men travelled on their muscle, and fami-
lies depended on the slaughtering OF
wild beasts for their daily meat. So
many OF Triplett's exploits had been wit
messed and vouched Tor, as to give the
color of probability to the more eXtraor-
binary that took place when none other
than himself was present. In fact his
admirers were willing to believe all that
he told, and we may be sure he did not
spare their confidence. Munchausen
himself might have been startled to hear
| TripIett's accounts of daring deeds, and
dangerous leaps. But, as population be
came denser and game scarcer around
the salt works, Triplett yearned for wild
er scenes. He struck out up the Elk and
settled in Braxton county. Shortly after
he left, man named Dave McColvir
came to the salt works. He appeared to
be the equal of Triplett in size, muscl,
and sinew, but wood-choppers and kettle
tenders were not to take outside appear
ances as test; they brought it down tC
actual blows, and in every trial got az
nicely whipped as Triplett himself coulo
have done it. They Reluctantly &C
knowledged him the champion OF the
works, but were slow to transfer to him
that warm allegiance they had given t.
their old favorite; and frequently the.
nettled McColvin by relating the super
human exploits of Triplett. Men woul'
conceal themselves on the opposite sid
OF the Kanawha and yell to Dave and tel
him that he thought himself big mar
but that Sinnett Triplett could chaw hin
up like broiled squirrel. Tho thin

jackson G. H.

A correspondent OF the Cincinnati Ea1-
ouirer. writing from jackson c. H, Ohio,
under date of December l9, says
"a company of twenty-five citizens of
Favette county are now here, headed by
Col. Yeoman, the State Senator from
that county, for the purpose OF closing
purchase of mineral land, some seven or
eight miles north of Jackson, near Mil
ton station. The tract is that long owned
by Hon. Mr.. Bundy, the Member OF Con-
gress from this district. There are one
thousand acres in the tract, Mr.. Bundy
reserving one hundred acres, including
and around his homestead. The party
who now own it intend, in the coming
spring, to erect upon it two large furna-
ces with capacity equal to four of those
now in operation in this Valley. A new
town is also laid out on this property, to
be called Wellstown.
At Milton Station, three miles from
Hamden, another new furnace is being
erected-in fact, it is nearly. finished.
Around this furnace are clustered some
twenty or thirty new houses, some al
ready occupied, and the others in pro-
cess of building The town of jackson
now contains about $500 people, main
tains about 40 stores of all kinds, not
mentioning the inevitable National
banks, and is well provided with good
graded schools. 1t also has fair supply
of churches, lawyers and physicians
Around and under it is found the very
best gu lIity of stone coal, which, in the
summer months, can be had, delivered,
at u cents per bushel, and in the winter
at S3Gg9 cents. Iron-ore also crops out
on all the lands around in many places
of such quality and thickness as would
fully justify its being worked: All
that is required is capital to make this
region the supply point in the way of
fuel and iron, of not only Cincinnati, but
of the whole of the State as far north as
Cleveland.
The country around jackson is of
course hilly, and but illadapted for farm
ing purposes, although in some localities
very good crops of corn and wheat are
raised Considerable attention is also
given to fruits, such as apples, peaches,
etc, all of which find ready market at
Portsmouth, forty-four miles distant by
rail.
What is greatly needed in this valley
is another line of railroad, which it ls
expected will be supplied by the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad, to which the
people of jackson county last year voted
a handsome subscription. When this or
some other line OF road is built, capital
will flow into this region from all parts
of the country.
In the summer the scenery around
jackson must be very grand and besdtl-
full. as even now the view from the hills
or mountains, as they are called-pre-
sents picture rarely met with
The accommodations Tor travellers IN
the town of jackson are good.
