Governor Chamberlain's retiring address

A Farmer in a Bears
Embrace

Three men sailed ont recently
to hunt bear in Alligator Swamp,
thirty SIX miles from Fayetteville,
N. G. They soon got upon the
trail OF three of the "varmints,"
one OF which was finally discover
ed and brought TO the ground by
a discharge from the weapon of
one of the panty. The lucky
marksman proceeded to the spot
where the bear had fallen, and
was bending over the animal, knife
In hand, in the act of pIunging il
into his throat, thus making as-
surance doubly sure" when ihe
bear suddenly raised himself upon
his launches and seized him by
the arm, throwing Him upon the
ground, where he held bin secure.

Lead, when tie dogs opportunely
came 10 the rescue, and the farm
er was relieved from the deadly
embrace of the monster.

Sentence Being Served by
q Substitute.
From the San Francisco Call.

Seven years ago a Chinaman
was sent to the State Prison for
fourteen years for the murder of
j. T. Boyd, a merchant ins this
city. At this late day it has been
ascertained that the man who is
undergoing the punishment is not
the real culprit, but Substitute.
The presumption isthat the change
was effected through the conni-
vance of TRUSTEES while the mnrde-
rer lay in Jail awaiting sentence.
1t is barely possible that the truth
would never have leaked out had
1t not been for the ill-health Of the
prisoner, whose days are threat
.ened to be shortened by consump-
ton. His cast attracted the at
tention of some philanthropists,
and inquiries being made into his
case, with the view of appealing
for Executive clsmency, the facts
narrated were ascertained. A
movement was consequently inan.
gurated for the liberation Of the
prisoner. Fredricl< A. Bee, who is
employed as special counsel to the
six Chinese companies, has, it is
understood, forwarded a petition
to Governor Irwin for the pardon
of the substitute. The onlyreas.
enable explanation which can be
given OF this substitution is that
both men belong to a gang of Chi
nese thieves and tlesperadoes, but
that the guilty was the most vaiu-
able of the two to the gang, and
the substitute assumed the others
punishment for a liberal consid-

Criminal justice in New York
