its stage on which his life seemed to de-
pend. Sleep, uninterrupted sleep, might
insure his recovery. His anxious wife,
scarcely daring to breathe, was sitting by
his bed; her servants exhausted by con-
slant watching, had left her. 1t was mid
night; a door was left open for air; she
heard, in the stiffness of the night, win
dow open below the stairs, and socn after,
approaching footsteps. A moment more, a
man with his face disguised entered the
room. She instantly saw her husband IS

unwelcome intruder, she pointed TO her

lips 10 implore silence, held out to the rob

FIGHTING FOR LIFE,
A Kentuckian's Exciting Struggle With
Bear.

From the Vanceburg (Ky.) Courier.I
From gentleman who has lately been
travelling in Rowan, Carter and other
mountain counties, we learn that farmer
named Wilson, living in the upper part of
Rowan, had terrible contest with bear
a few days since, in which Wilson barely
escaped with his life. Wilson was hunting
late in the evening for squirrels and came
close upon his bearship before he had any
idea that such dangerous monster was
anywhere near him. The bear, instead of
retreating, made for Wilson; the latter on
ly had time to draw his weapon and fire.
The gun, however, was loaded with small
shot, and the only effect upon the bear was
| to make him, if anything, more ferocious.
Wilson had no time to run, and, clubbing
| his gun, hit the bear several furious licks
over the head in rapid succession.
He broke the gun into many pieces, and
then, remembering that he had large pen
knife in his pocket, he drew the same and
opened it, but before he could use it the
bear dealt him stunning blow with his
paw, which felled him to the earth, and
| for moment -iunned him. He held on
ITO the knife, and when the bear jumped or
him he dealt the beast some furious blows
| in the abdomen, the blood saturating his
clothes. The bear bit him severely on the
left arm and scratched him painfully abou
the neck and arms. Wilson made good
use of his knife, and the bear, feeling tht
thrusts SO acutely, wheeled around quickly
TO escape them. Wilson took advantage
of the movement, and, jumping to his feet
ran rapidly away. The bear pursued hin
for some distance, but being weak from
loss of blood, abandoned the chase Viii
son was several miles from home, and wa
getting weak from loss of blood. Afte
considering himself safe from pursuit, h
took off his shirt, bound up his wounds ~
his wounds as well as he coulp and starte'
for home. He arrived sometime afte
dark, completely exhausted and in a pre-
carious condition.

Prairie Dogs.

1t has always been subject of curiosity
and inquiry as 10 how and where prairie
dogs, living on the prairie far away from
any river or stream, obtain their water.
Mr.. f. Leecb, formerly of Mercer county,
Pa, and frontiersman of experience, as
serts that the dogs dig their own wells each
village having one with concealed open.
ing 1t matters not how far down the wa
ter may be, the dogs will keep on digging
uutil they reach it. Ho knows of one such
well 200 feet deep, having circular stair
case leading down to the water. Every
time dog wants drink he descends the
staircase, which, considering the DISTANCE,
is no mean task. In digging for water the
animals display as much pluck as in resis-
ting the efforts of settlers to expel them
from the land of their progenitors.
