Edgar d. Andrews, the old bear hunter,
has captured another. This time he trapped
bruin in Maine, where there is no bounty.
But bruin being lean and unfit for domestic
use, Andrews prepared withes, bound his
feet and tied his mouth, and after some
sweating and considerable scratching, sue
ceeded in carrying him into N. H., where
there is bounty OF $40, and then dis

ing house at the center of Chatham, his
horse became unmanageable, throwing
Bryant out, or he jumped ost Of the wagon.
Leaving the road, the horse jumped pine
stump fence and went down an embank-

in the reservoir which supplies water (be-

ment by hydraulic pressure) for the dwell

as though the horse kept his feet until ar
irving at the fountain, where he was pre-
cipitated in such position that he could
not regain his feet, and was drowned.
Mrs. Clay heard the rumpus, and told her
husband that some one had gone OF the
bank. After having ascertained the fact,
Mr.. C. routed his hired man, and went
TO the rescue, when they found the
horse as above described with wagon
