Dancing Bears.-A couple of strolling
Snowman visited Elkton on Tuesday last
with two dancing bears. The keepers,
who we're of some European nationality,
put the bruins through their PAGES in the
street, which consisted in waltzing round
to tune sung by the keepers, and turning
somersaults. The bears were believed to
be of the Cinnamon species, though one of
the keepers said his bear, which was quite
young, was grizzly. This story wouldn't
pass current with any person possessing
any information in 6sarology, the grizzly
being one of the untameable beasts. The
keepers passed round their caps among the
crowd who contributed small change. The
animals were very docile, but were muz-
zled and led by chains. One drunken fell
low who doubted the identity of bruin,
punched the larger animal in the side with
his fist, and was fully satisfied by quick
blow with the iron-clawed paw which
barely missed his doubling prosecutor, one
long claw taking a piece out of the skirt of
his coat

"Notice to Gunners."-About this time
every Fall the papers are filled with notices
to gunners not to trespass on the farms Of
the undersigned, and half the land owners
in the county seem to give public notice in
this way for the purpose of keeping tres
passers away and protecting the birds.
This is a very good preliminary step, but
the only purpose it seems to serve is to
keep away gentlemen who gun few hours
for healthful exercise, who have respect for
the wishes of the property owner, and the
laws of the land, while the poacher and
"market gunner" 60 forth in defiance of
the published notice and kill all the birds.
If the owner of the land happens to hear
the report of his gun and approaches the
mercenary sportsman, he makes it con-
venisnt to put his neighbours fence between
them, and that is the last of it. The gun
ner, having found where the birds are,
watches his opportunity and slips over onto
the forbidden ground the next day perhaps,
and finally carries off all the birds.
With all the periodic EARNINGS which
take place we never knew, that we can
remember, of any trespasser being prose-
cuted. AS the thing works at present, and
has been working for years, the system of
warning plays right into the hand of the
men whom it is intended particularly to
exclude, those who have a mercenary mo-
tive, solely fer cunning, while the better
class, who the farmers say are not objec-
tionable, are prevented by their sense of
honor and respect for the rights of others,
from sharing in what to them is real
pleasure and healthful excitement.
The cure for this great nuisance Of law
less cunning can only be brought about by
Sportsmen' S Associations, which would not
only be the means of protecting fish and
game birds, but would lead to the study of
natural history and the advantage of birds
to the farmers. The pleasure and advant-
ages of rural life which are almost wholly
lost to the class whose province it is to
enjoy them, would be cultivated, and the
passion of the age, to run riot after tawdry
display, and cultivate the appetite for guz-
zling, while real recreation and intelligent
amusement are ignored entirely, would
find its best antedote. A change cannot
be effected too soon. Politics and grog
shop sociabilty have debauched American
rural society as much as poverty, oppres-
sion and ignorance have degraded the peas
ant classes of Europe.
The prime object of Sportsmen's Asso-
citation is far other than the shooting OF
game birds and hooking trout. These are
some of it's pleasant recreations. There is
a wide field of varied and valuable labor to
be occupied, worthy the finest heart and

Capture Of a Wheat Thief.-Constable
Timothy White arrested Ben Burton, col
ored, tenant on the farm of Mr.. William
Boulder, on Tuesday morning at Camp
bell s. Vinsinger's MILL charged with steal
ing Dennis Maloney's wheat, which he was
offering for sale at the mill. On last Sat-
urday morning eight bushels of wheat were
found sitting at the mill door by Mr.. Camp
bell when he went to open the MILL in bags
with Mr.. Boulden's name on them. Con-
stable White was notified, and on Tuesday
morning when Burton came to collect the
money for the wheat, Constable White
was on hand and arrested him. The pris-
oner was taken before Justice Brown who
committed him to Jail. He had disposed
of four bushels of wheat previously to
Messrs. Campbell 6 Vinsinger, which he
told plausible story about receiving for
wages. While in the magistrates office,
the officer who had Burton in charge,
noticed that he had on pair of new boots,
and by little investigation discovered that
the boots had been stolen also. During
the examination, Burton tried to criminate
another colored man named Gibson, who
lives on the edge of Delaware, by alleging
that he hauled the wheat for him, but Glib
son easily proved an alabi, convicting the
rascal of malicious lying as well as stealing.

Maid, and Miss Abrahams third Maid, all

each took nine rings in the first three
charges.
On Saturday last Robert Mackey, of the
Fourth district, very industrious, useful
citizen when not maddened by liquor,
came to Elkten, and after imbibing the
villainous stuff sold in the shops here,
commenced spelling for fight, and went
to look for one at the Farmers Hotel,
where he was accommodated with split
ear and battered and kicked body and
head. An old feud existed between Mackey
and the proprietor of the hotel, both large,
powerful men, and no strangers to rough
and tumble fights. Whisky is the inspir,
ing cause of almost every fracus, and the
real estate of the town would be worth
twenty-five per cent more in a short time
than it is, if there was not drop sold with

Martin o. Walker, one of the Oldest
and wealthiest citizens of Chicago, died
last week. His will is a most extraor-
binary document. 1t places all his
property in the hands of four Trustees;
directs that they shall pay each of his
two SOM annuities which shall not be
less than $500, nor more than So 900,
but within these limits gives absolute
discretion TO the Trustees provides
that the estate shall be divided among
the grandchildren Of the testator upon
the death of his sons and, failingissuc
from the sons, that it shall be kept in
tao. for t%wenty-one years, and then be
used for benevolent purposes, according
as the Trustees may direct. The Trus-
tees have almost absolute power over
the property. They may sell, exchange
or convert it during the lifetime of the
sons, and i'll case Of their decease with
out issue will hold it in possession for
twenty-one years. IN all the records of
the English chancery courts there a
be found few more eccentric wills than
the one which we have epitomized. Its
provisions have astonished all of the
persons Immediately concerned, and its
publication will doubtless furnish food
for the gossips for some time to come.
