Sad Oeeurrence--A Man Pnrsues q Bear,
Becomes BeWiIdered and Is Frozen to
DnGth

The facts of the occurrence are as fol-
lows: On Tuesday morning, 2eth day of
November, 1878. a party consisting Of
William G. Baber, jos. K. Snithson,
Jas. M. Craft, T. Fl. w. Smithson, E. E,
Mcclure and M. D. Jones left their
camp on the south side of Cold Knob, in
Greenbrier county, with wagon and
team, with the intention of making their
way through the snow.drifts to the
Holiday place, on the waters of Cherry
river, point about twelve miles dis
tant. They had travelled about five
miles, and had reached the south ex-
treme of Bull HILL when it was discov-
cred that bear had crossed the road the
previous night, making its way in the
direction of the south fork of Cherry
river. Mr. Baber, who was driving the
team, dismounted, called up two dogs
that were with them, and started in
pursuit of the bear, requesting the COM
pany to drive on while he would go
round the hill little way. He had
neither weapons, firearms, nor provi-
sions. The company moved on, leaving
the point at about II o'clock, A. NJ, ex-
pecting Mr.. Raber to come up at every
moment, and reached their place of de.
stination before night-fall. On the fol-
lowing morning. the 9th, the news was
spread that Mr.. Baber had not yet re-
turned, and search was made by Messrs.
Thos. A. Baber, John Hannah and
Harry Hocket, who returned the same
evening bringing the information that
be was still in pursuit of the bear, when
they turned back from his trail, pulling
snow and creeping through
laurel thicke;s. On the following mora
ing, the 28th, search was continued by
Messrs. II. p. Coates, Michael Rutledge,
John Hannah, Thos. A. Baber and 7.
Fl. w. Smithson. The day was spent
in following the zigzag way the bear and
man had gone. 4 little before night the
point was gained where the man had
given up the chase, and started in di-
rect course for the road. He travelled
straight for a half mile or more, when
he turned at right angles and went into
a dense laurel thicket, which he pissed
through down the hill to Cold Spring
Run. Here it was found that he had
taken the water. The party went into
camp for the night, and on the following
the Goth, discovered by the
trails of The dogs ON the banks th4t the
lost man had gone down the creek. He
followed the creek half a mile, where it
amptied into the south fork of Cherry
river, thence down the river about the
same distance, never makinga mark on
he banks, nor passing over log that
av above the water. Here he came
,shore on the south side of the stream. |
climbed the mountain about a quarter
If mile. stopping twice, but never get
ing off his feet. Just as he topped the
bluff he lay down exhausted, closed his
eyes and died-it seems without pain or
! struggle. His own dog remained with
him till he was found the other left him
after he lay down and went back to the

A SHREwD CLERGYMAN.-A popular
minister had Just finished an exhorta-
ton strongly recommending the sup
port of very meritorious institution
The congregation was numerous, and
the chapel was crowded to excess. The
discourse being finished, the plate was
about being handed round to the respec
tive paws, when the preacher made this
short address to ths waiting congrega-
ton: From the sympathy have wit
messed in your countenances, and the
strict attention you have honored me
with, there is one thing am afraid of,
that some of you may be inclined to
give too much. Now. it is my duty to in
form you that justice. though not so
pleasant, should always be prior virtue
to generosity therefore, as you will all
be Immediately waited upon in your
respective pews, wish to have it thor
onghly understood that no person shall
think of putting anything into the plate
who cannot pay his debts" We need
not add that this produced q most over
flowing collection.

A PROMPT JUROR.-An amusing stO-
ry is told of the way juror in Georgia
went for a conviction. A murder case
was being tried and great difficulty was
experienced in getting jury. Eleven
jurors had been sworn in. and in the
next panel that was brought in was a
small. lsnk, lean. cadaverous looking
fellow who had one shoe, his pants were
nearly above his knees, his shirt open
both front and back, and the aforesaid
pants were held up by single suspen-
der. The solicitor proceeded to ask the
usual question in such cases as follows :
"Have you, from having seen the
crime committed, or heard any of the
testimony delivered under oath, formed
and expressed any opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of the prisoner at the bar ?''
The '.simple gallus" fellow, in clear
and distinct voice, answered:
mot any"
Second question-Have you any pre-
JUDGE or bias resting on your mind for
or against the prisoner at the bar?
Answer hain't.
Third question-Is your mind perfect
ly impartial between the State and the
accused
Answer-Hit air.
Fourth QUESTIONABLE you eonscien-
tiously opposed to capital punishment.
Answer-I isn't.
The State didn't like the juror much,
but it being late and jurors scarce, he
was put upon the jury in the usual man.
ner, the solicitor says: "Juror, look
upon the prisoner" and when the COM
1nand was given he bent over scanning
him from head to foot. The juror look
ed the prisoner firmly in the face, and
then turning to the judge said, in firm,
solemn voice, "Yes, Judge, think he's
guilty."
