TERRIBLE FIGHT OF ENRAGED BEARs.-A fatal
and terrific combat occurred at the zOOlOy ical
gardens in the fair grounds, yesterday, between
two Of the bears confined In the bear-pits. The
cause Of the quarrel is not known. 1t began
with growls and whines, and reproachful cries,
and imprecatiOns, followed by blows and heavy
sparring. At length both bears became thor
oughly enraged, and, standing on their hind
legs, they prepared for the deadly duel Sew
srai rounds were fought, and at the fifth the big
bear seized the little one around the waist, and,
throwing him over his head, fell heavily upon
him. The little one now got the big ones ear in
his mouth and tore away nearly the whole OF It,
This so exasperated the giant that he fastened
his teeth upon his adversary'S left paw and
whirled him around with the velocity of a
whirlig1g. When he released his hold both
bears We're pretty nearly exhausted. After
was soon ended. The little one was blind and
bleeding at the mouth, and was evidently on his
last legs AS ne lay on his back, painting and whin
ing, the other bear approached to make finish.
and received heavy slap on the. mouth, which
drew blood. The big one then sprang upon him,
and Selling him BY the throat with his teeth,
while he clasped him tightly in his embrace,
held on until life was extinct The survivor was
fearfully punished, being lame in two legs, with
enough hair missing from his back to stun a
