LnsSOing a Bear.


The following account of the lasso-
ing of 40O-pOund cinnamon bear by
two well-knOwn citizens of this coIln-
ty has been sent us for publication,
and knowing the parties and their
high standing for truth and veracity,
we give it space in our paper: ''Geo.
Cornell and Gus Richardson were a
short time since engaged in driving a
band of cattle from Camp Wood, in
Yavapai county, to Mineral Park, Mo-
have county, and when reaching the
Muddy, little north of Anvil Rock,
they discovered short distance ahead,
crossing the road, large cinnamon
bear. Gus suggested to his cOmpan-
ion that they amuse themselves with
his lordship, bruin. No sooner sug-
gested than adopted. The boys drop
bed tho cattle and prepared their ria
tas for sport. They made a charge
upon bruin, who seemed little indc-
pendent and oblivious of their pres
encc. Cornell soon had hitch around
the neck of his bearship, when COM
menced o tustle for mastery and liber-
ty, Bruin caught the RATA in his
teeth and made an effort to sever the.
strands, when Gus took in the situa-
ton and slipped the rope around the
hind legs OF the animal, stretching
him out as long as fence-rail. The
horses which these gentlemen were
riding being well trained to the work
of vaqueros. assisted to hold bruin safe

Tunnel Under the English Channel.

The preliminary excavations for this
enterprise arc being actively put for
ward at Sangatte, near Calais. at spot
where the cliffs have an altitude of
seventy feet above tho level of the sea
at high-water. A point has been
chosen whore the rocks Of gray chalk
which have to be traversed by the
tunnel come to show their heads at
the surface Of the soil. On the oppo-
site shore similar borings have been
begun, 90 that the works are proceed;
ing simultaneously. The soundings
that have been made during the past
few years demonstrate that the base OF
the channel consists of compact mass
Of chalk, resting on banks of slate
This mass, which is easy enough to
pierce, is said at the same time to re-
sist filtration sufficiently. It would,
therefore, present a substanceexcellent-
ly adapted for perforation. But what
yet remains to be proved is whether
the succession of these chalk layers
will not disclose some Irregularities or
ruptures which would render the en-
terprisc impossible.
The shaft at Sangatte has now
reached depth of nearly 200 feet, or
about 130 feet below the level of high
water. 1t has a width of ten feet, and
is lined with oak, SO that the water
cannot penetrate very freely, not more
than seventeen gallons minute
This water is not salt, which is thought
to prove that the layers hitherto trav-
ersed have their point Of contact suf-
ficiently far from the shore to prevent
the sea from ascending the shaft. 1t
is intended to sink 10 a depth of 800
feet, and then gallery will be eXca-
vated in the direction of England
Up to the present the engineers are
highly satisfied with the results OBJ
taincd.

A Birds Grief.

A year or so ago little girl living
near the line of the Erie RailWay,two
miles from Rathbonevillc, n. Y, was
presented with pair of doves. They
were in the habit Of flying about In
the vicinity. One day, some weeks
ago, they were flying across the rail-
way track, when the male bird came
into collision with tho smoke stack of
the Pacific express, which passes the
spot about o'clock in the morning.
The bird was killed by the shock, and
instantly thrown out of sight Of its
mate. The female circled about the
spot for few minutes, i'll evident
alnazennent at the sudden disappear
ance of her mate. She then flew to
milc-post near by, and for long time
gave uttcrance to the mOurnful notes
Characteristic of the dove. Sudden
ly slc seemed to realize what had car
ried the male from her sight, and she
rose i'm the air and flew swiftly in the
direction the train had gone. She did
not return until about noon. Sue
alighted at her cote, where she re-
manned the rest of the day, uttering
her plaintive cries. NeXL morning,
Just before O'Clock, she was seen to
fly away, aud take position on the
mile-post near the spot where she
last saw her mate the day before
When the express train came along
she flew at the locomotive, lowered
about the smoke-stack and around tho
cab, as if looking for her mate. She
accompanied the locomotive for a
mile or SO, and then returned to her
cote. Every day since then she has
repeated this strange conduct She
goes to her lookout for the train AT
precisely the same time each MORN
ing, and waits until the train comes
along, no matter how late it may be.
She never goes further than about a
mile with the train, returning then to
her cote, and mourning piteously all
day.
