A Bear Story.

Our Sault correspondent puts us in pos.
sessing of bear story which, were it not
that 1t comes well authenticated, would
be cla>scd. among regular fish or snake
stories: The steam barge D. NJ. Wilson,
|of Cleveland, on the 9Th of the present
month, stopped over night AZ Wilson'S
dock, six miles or so below the SAult.
During the evening sailor was per-
forming some duty on deck, when he
noticed what he supposed to be a large
black dog belonging to the dock, lying
on the deck. Knowing tnat lie had no
business there he walked up to him and
gave him kick by way of warning that
it was time to go home. The kick had its
effect, but instead OF dog black bear
rose up and walked into the sailor, who
cried Justify for help. Tie mate came
with an AK and struck the animal when
he jumped over the side of the vessel into
the water. The sailor, who first disturb
ell the sleep of bruin, received some severe
scratches, but no serious injury. The
bears are quite thick along the banks OF
the river, having been driver. out of the
woods by the large fires, and this one
had climed up OH the the deck of the
boat and retired to rest. A few
days afterward some Indians killed Il
bear which had severe flesh wound
which they could not explain, until the
return of the Wilson, when the story
came out.

AN ORGAN WITH WILL OF ITS Own
The good people of a certain country village
in Indiana hungered and thirsted for an or
gan to assist in the church services: but as
they could not afford to hire an organist, they
boug ght selfoperating instrument warranted
to grind out forty tunes of religious cast.
The musical instrument was placed in posi-
ton for the next Sunday. The sexton was
instructed how to set it going and how to stop
it, but unfortunately forgot the latter part of
his business and after singing the first four
verses of hymn before the sermon, the organ
could not be stopped, but continued playing
two verses more ; then just as the clergyman
completed the words, "Let us pray" the or
gan clicked and started another tune. The
sexton and others continued their exertions
to find the spring, but no one could put a stop
to it so they got four Of the stoutest men in
the church to shoulder the perverse instru-
ment, and they carried it down the aisle
into the church.yard, where it continued
clicking and playing until the whole forty
tunes were finished,
