Bro BEAR HUNT NEAR L,stNus

TON-THE BRUTE PURSUED AM
KILLED BY A SQUAD OF WHITE
MEN AND A REGIMENT OF BLACKs-
The BEAST SHOWS FIGHT AMI
GIVES ONE OF HIS PURSUERS A
HUG.-Our young friend Hammy
Dinkins gives us a racy account OF
IL bear ii sht near Livingston, which
took place on Wednesday last.
Some darkeys were hoeing cotton in
a field of Mrs. Johnson's, when his
bearship came out of the woods near
by and deliberately surveyed the
crowd. Satisfying himself that there
were few too many for him. he was
in the act of making leisurely
retreat, when the negroes charged
with their hoes and compelled him
to quicken his speed. He fled in
on the way, the pursuers Were re
enforced by four boys with number
of four dogs and flee. Passing through
Col. CadIen's premises, pursued and
pursuers at full tilt, the latter we're
here re-enforced by Ernest Cadien,
mounted and spurred and armed
with notwithstanding fusee. His
bearship crossed the road (perhaps
for the same reason that the histor>
ical old COW did, entered Mr.. Jim
Benefits field, where the latter, and
also Mr.. Mann, joined heartily Ill
pursuit. Others joined as the bear
went charging along, until there
was a large war party, armed with
war paint and all manner of weap>
ons, engaged in the chase, shouting
and hurrahing lis they went. Finally
the animal turned his course back
in the direction of Livingston, aud
lie was pursued so holly that when
within a half mile of that quiet and
peaceful village, he turned into a
grove and took tree. He had |
been shot several times in the long
chase, but would not succumb.
Here, however, Mr.. James Bennett
took aim, pulled trigger and down
came the "bar." A 'fsOn of Ham,
rushed forward instantly to cut the |
supposed dead animals throat, but |
bruin was only playing ''possum,"
for he suddenly Arose OIL his hind |
feet, seized the now Mortified SambO |
by the shoulders, proceeded TO put
his arms quietly around him as if to
invite a wrestling match at Indian
hug. This our colored hero would
nave gladly declined, if possible.
He had rather make tracks than
sight nobly." But bruin held his
grip aud it was with the greatest
lifficulty that others present could
succeed in delivering him from his
rather dangerous predicament. He
was, however, at last, pulled loose
rom the ''varmint," minus shirt,
seat of breeches and little. wool.
The bear weighed about three huns
lred pounds-the scared .nigger'
weighed anchor, took to his heels,
md is now being advertised for at
every x road.

The Great Temperance Wave.


The great movement in the cauS,
of temperance, which is spreading
throughout the Union, is as crafty
iug as it is wonderful in its results
Vast numbers flock to the standard
of reform wherever one of its diSci
Piles appears in the advocacy of the
grand cause. Skeptics have in the
beginning express, d their doubts OF
its success, only to become them-
selves converts i'll the end, while
those who went to scoff have in
numerous instances become earnest
advocates of the cause of redemp>
ton, through this method, from
rum, misery and iniquity of count.
less numbers of their ellow-beings.
Will this great wave finally re-
cede as it came? Will the predic>
tons of those who jeer come to pass,
that such us believe themselves
happily redeemed from the most
desperate thralldom that ever ac'
cursed mankind, will not long be
able to resist the allurements OF
strong drink, and will return to
their beastly habits as the .sow re-
turns to the mire?
The earnest lecturers say not
They declare that the main element
of their remarkable success has been
wanting in all movements of such
character as bave hitherto been in
augurated. They say that the rock
on which they have founded the
present reform movement is the
religion of ChIist-frm faith in Him
and Him alone, as the ballast which,
will hold the redeemed debauchee
constant to his pledge. Their exer
cises are conducted OH the plan of
interminSling prayer and sacred
songs to Him who is powerful to re.
form and save even the poor, totter
tering drunkard, whom the charita>
bile world mad given up as lost.
God grant that their success may
be lasting. If so, that which is a
benefit beyond anything else to
mankind, save religion itself, will
Bave been achieved. Souls will be
saved; pure, generous aud noble
men, who in countless numbers of
everywh here, have been
sunk and degraded to the level OF
brutes, will be redeemed and restor>
ed to society to their neglected
homes and their suffering families
No cause can be more important.
The great cause is wider and grand
er than that OF patriotism, which
signifies only devotion to ones coun
try. For the philanthropist who
IirOclaimS temperance moves for the
great good OF mankind ia general.
His operations are restricted to no
national bounds. From the swrll>
ing hearts of such as have expeIi>
enced lots sadder than those O;

will the good work be recognized
and most deeply and thankfully feIr.
No plague sent by the hand of
Heaven for mans chaslisement can
foot up IA hundredth part of the |
victims that the great curse of ill
Iemperance boasts. War, in lis |,

is nothing to compare with this de-
mon who in every portion OF the
world is daily and hourly sending

region OF the eternally lost. Y.
