ing through piece of woods near Mill
stone Hill, they saw an animal beside the
way that raised himself on his hind legs,
which they supposed to be either a bear or
a lynx. Frightening him from the road,
they went home, procured lights, and being
accompanied by Mr.. John w. Bigelow
and others, returned to the place where
the animal was seen. They found tracks

of men, boys, dogs and guns, and old Mill
stone was pretty thoroughly searched, but
no bear or lynx was found. Probably the
bear thought that, he that scares and runs
away, may live to scare another day.
