Bear Hunt OH a Steamboat.

On late trip of the steamer John
Egan down the Ottawa, the passen-
gers and crew were treated to novel
and exciting bear hunt. While pass
ing through OuiSSeau Lake, a large
bear was swimming across the lake,
and as every one seemed anxious to
see chase, Captain Duggan stopped
the boat and sent crew after his
bearship. The men soon overlook
bruin and quickly captured him by
throwing moose around his neck.
They then towed him back to the steam
er and hoisted him on board. He hadno
sooner, however, got himself fairly
planted on deck, than he managed to
get Free and as the crew and paSsen-
gers were all standing round, we may
imagine there was Immediately some
tall scrambling on that boat. The
bear first made for the ladies' cabin,
where he was given free and undis-
puted possession, the fair occupants
evidently just then thinking they were
wanted somewhere else most urgently.
The engineer, Mr.. DUNCAN, pluckily
followed bruin to the cabin, from
which, on being cornered, he jumped
through one of the windows on to the
deck. Here Mr.. DUNCAN again assailed
him with an oar, the only available
weapon at hand, endeavoring to make
him again take to the water. Bruin,
however, seemed to have had enough
Of the water, for after getting upon
the railing he refused to go any
further, although repeatedly struck
with the oar, and continued to hang
on to the railing, with his body hang
UNCOVER the water, till one of the
passengers brought along rifle and
shot him. The bear is a pretty large
fellow-he would weigh about 200
pounds-and is in excellent condition.
He was bought from the crew by the
gentleman who shot him. Some of
the incidents connected with his
short stay" on the steamer are exceed
ingly grotesque and amusing, but
space is lacking, and we cannot afford
to give them. The way that some of
the people on board made for hiding
places is said to have been "cau-
tom it was entirely unnecessary, as
poor bruin was the most scared indi-
yidual of the lot. Pembroke Observer.

THE following Is reliable plan to
prevent the breaking of glass jars
while being filed with the hot fruit:
Simply fold up towel or other sim
liar cloth to size suitable. dipping it
in cold water, and setting the fruit jar
on it during the process of filling.
Glass only breaks from heat because
one part expands faster than another,
and in this case the wet towel prevents
the bottom from expanding until the
can is about full. The fruit will then
heat the towel and expand, but the top
is ready to expand with it.
