a single-barreled one she seized the
double- -barreled gun from her
cousin and discharged both barrels
at the infuriated animal, in the
hope Of killing it outright. But,
with the disappearance of the
smoke from the gun, the bear was
seen writhing, but not dead. The
brave young woman then approach
ed cautiously to within reaching
distance of the wounded animal,
and, taking from large leather
belt encircling her waist n bone
handled deer knife, plunged it to
the hilt into the bear's neck. AT
ibis moment the dying monster
gave dying lunge and fastened
its sharp claws into the girls skirts,
pulling her down. Her frightened
cousin ran about wildly and
screamed at the top of her voice;
but, as there was no house within
two miles, her cries were not heard.
She then returned to where Clara
was still struggling with the ami
NAL. The bear still held the girl in
its grasp, but was rapidly growing
weaker. The girl was all the time
using ber knife with good effect.
She dealt the dying animal blow
after blow uutil 1t finally released
its hold and rolled over dead.
Though very much exhausted
and considerably scratched by the
BEARS claws, Clara, with the as
sistance of her cousin, was soon
able to walk. They marked the
spot where the dead bear lay, and
then returned home. Ciara's
father and brother drove to the
swamp and brought the bear in,
which, when dressed, weighed $40
pounds. The skin Is to be sent to a
New York taxldermist to b,
stuffed, and it will be kept by the
young lady as a souvenir of her ter
rible struggle and fortunate escape.

HUNTERS RANGE, Pa, Nov. 27.
About a month ago Miss Alice
Corey, of New York city, came to
visit her uncle, German, who
owns q small farm in the noun
tains, six miles northwest of this
place. Miss Corey is about l6 years
old, and her parents are we'll to do.
Her uncle has daughter, Clara,
also about 16 years. Her father
having but one son, Clara has for
years helped to do the work on the
farm, and she has become an ex-
pert shot with O rifle. She has a
mania for hunting, and she fre-
quently goes into the forest in
search of game.
A few days ago Clara invited her
cousin to accompany her on hunt
ing expedition. They started from
the house shortly after breakfast,
Alice with double-barreled gun
and Clara with q rifle. After scour-
ing the woods for several hours
without much success, they visited

We were informed yesterday
that q man who came over from
San Diego county day before yes
terday, told Adolfo Cells that, when
near Temeeuls, he met two-horse
buggy in which were two men, one
of whom he recognized as Alfredo
CarrilIo. The other occupant of the
buggy was closely muffIed up and
seemed 20 cough incessantly. He
spoke to Carrillo, but as the latter
did not return the salutation, he
came on without having any con-
versation.
The Board of Water Commission
ers met at Downey on Monday last.
No business of any Importance
was transacted. Considerable COM
plant was made by irrigators in
Artesia district that they were
taxed on their irrigable lands but
received very little water when
they needed it. They thought they
ought not to pay assessments, re-
ceivipg no corresponding benefits.
Under the law, however, the Board
has no power to exempt any one
from assessments Courier.
In the report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture for 1878 appears the
following paragraph which will be
of local interest: A sample of
tobacco was received from J. G.
Davis. Los Angeles, CAL, for ex-
animation. The analysis was
limited to the determination of
the alkaloid nicotine. The air.
dried sample contained 4.04 per
cent. of nicotine, an amount about
midway between the weak to obaccoes
of Havana and the stronger ones of
Virginia ond Kentucky. The
specimen analysed possessed good
color and good smoking qualities,
and was apparently superior to-
bacco in all respects.

The San Bernardlno Hndes of the

ed by interviews with the repre-
sentatives of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railroad to leave no
doubt as to their determination to
make San Diego the terminal point
of their road upon the Pacific coast.
The question to be settled is, What
route will be taken to reach that
point? There is little doubt, either,
of their intention to build upon the
route known as the 35th parallel, the
Southern route having been aban-
doned. The considerations which
will now influence their action is
feasibility and shortness of route,

fall and winter seasons. Guests
will be provided with every COM
fort, including fires when they de-
sire them. The Santa Monica Ho-
tel has always beea noted for the
excellence of its table, nearness TO
the ocean enabling its proprietor to
supply his guests with every varie-
ty of fish common to this coast, in
cluding many kinds noted for their
excellence. 1t is the labor of the
proprietor to insure his guests the
comforts of home. The extreme
mildness and salubrity of the fall
and winter climate of Santa Mon

riety. The place has that precise
equabiIity of temperature so neces-
sary to the comfort and restoration
to health of invalids. The COM

of the hotel, on the beach. Here
the visitor can enjoy hot and cold
salt and fresh water baths. During
very many days of the winter
months a robust person may bathe
in the surf itself, the temperature
of the water being quite high
something above the May temper

and hunting are quite attractive.
