Adventure in a Bears Cave.


 Jerry Greening, whose death was announ- ced recently, was one of the oldest and most skillful hunters in Pike county, Penn, and his adventures with wildcats, bears and deer are pretty well known in this part of the country A few weeks ago, just before the cold snap, Jerry started ont on grand bear hunt, taking with him provisions for two days stay The first day out he killed a fine four-pronged buck, which he dressed and hung up in a tree out of the reach of wild animals. He built a fire a short distance away. and after eating hearty supper rolled himself up in his blanket, with his feet to the coals and was soon asleep. In the middle of the night he was awakened by loud noise, and turning over noiselessly on his side he discovered large bear trying to pull the buck out of the tree Jerry grabbed his rifle, and, after taking careful aim, fired. The bear gave loud growl and galloped off into the underbrush. In the morning Jerry saw blood stains on the ground, and after following the tracks some distance he came to the entrance to a cave in some rocks. In front of this cave was large pool of blood, and the hunter was convinced that his game was within He procured pine knot, out of which he made a torch, and, after the man. ner of Israel Putnam, he entered the cave.
 The entrance was small, and he was obhg- ed to creep on his hands and knees but as he advanced the opening grew larger and larger, until finally he could stand upon his feet. He was advancing cautiously when he heard a terrific erowl and before he could draw rifle the bear sprang upon him from behind a large powder, knocking him down and in ficting a severe wound in the shoulder with her claws The torch which Jerry carried was extingfuished, and the old hunter was left to fight for his life in total darkness. He succeeded in reaching his hunting knife, and dealt the bear several vigorous blows in the neck and in the side with the weapon. The blood from the animals wound spurted into Jerry's face, nearly binding him. The bear released her hold and made for the mouth of the cave. Jerry followed, but in the darkness was unable to find his rife. He vigorously pursued the bear, and just outside the cave another hand to hand conflict took place. The struggle lasted about half an hour, and after the bear had succeeded in nearly stripping Greening of all his clothing and had inflicted several more wounds, she was dispatched. Jerry got another pine knot and reentered the cave and procured his rifle. In the farthest corner of the cave he found two little cubs, not larger than kittens, which he took home with him to raise as pets. The floor of the cave, Greening said, was literally covered -gith bones.

who lives all the year round on his extensive property, has published pamphlet on the land question in which he says: 1.-The truth for agriculture. Mechanics, mathematicians, writers for the press, soldiers, traders, ora tors-these they would be by nature and choice; while uniformity of circumstance and absence of opportunity keep them clinging to the soil on which they were born" A StGasdard correspondent in Ireland fully cor roborates this view. He states that of the 500, 900 tenant farmers in the country 3O0, 900 are rated under $4o yearly. A large pro- portion of these live from hand to mouth. No ssrooting of them in the soil ;'' no 'fgiv- ing of the land to them for nothing;'' no extension of the existing land laws would materially improve their condition. They are, as body, indolent and improvident. If they have sufficient to eat, according to their own low standard of living, they are jovially contented- The system of agriculture, es- pecially among the peasant class, is of the crudest description they are fearful of all change and innovation.

The New Orleans Times expresses
the belief that the exodus of the
negroes from the South will be much
greater this year than the last. The
preparations for departure are appar.
ent in portions Of all the Southern
states. There is a general refusal to
enter into new contracts, but the
planters are advised not to be des-
pendent, as white laborers will come
into supply the places left vacant, as
has been the case in Mississippi,
where more than one. half the Gotten
crop last year was the product of
white labor. While admitting the
prospect of losing a portion of the
Southern population, the Times de-
sires the merchants to send the idle
young men of the city into Mexico
and Central America as drummers,
to build up the trade of New Orleans,
which has been destroyed by the
great railroad systems of the North.
One might suppose that the idle
young men under the circumstances
might find work nearer home.

Canal Officers.
Yours, respectfully

The Board of Public Works of
Maryland are in entire harmony in
everything that pertains to their
office, and that body is now earnestly
engaged in assisting the president of
the canal in the preparation of his
answer to the bill for receiYership.
Any report that there are differences
in the board in regard to appoint
ments of officers on our public works
is without scintilla of truth. In
fact, there has never been any inter
ference whatever with the preroga
tiyes of the Governor, even by in
timation, and the Democratic leaders
in the State were never more harmo-
niously disposed than they are to.

In preparing the reply to the bill
for the appointment of a receiver,
Hon. Patrick Hamill has been of
great service to the Board of Public
Works and President German, in
getting up papers and collecting data,
thus making himself familiar with
every branch of the canal business,
and will be we'll fitted for the posi-
ton of President, in case Senator
German shall determine to dissolve
his present relations with the canal
company prior to next January.
Hon. Patrick Hamil! is Western
Maryland man all over, and all his
interests lie in this section. He is a
warm personal friend of Coy. liam
ilton, as well as of most of the Dem.
ocratic leaders in the State. He is at
present member of the Canal Direc-
ry,and is well qualified for the pres
idency, if the mantle shall fall upon
him. We believe the canal would
be more prosperous under his man.
agement, in the event of new pres
ident coming in, than any one whose
name at present comes to our m ind.
and the people of Allegany and Gar

that position.
Mr.. Hamill has been at home for
some days but returned to Annapolis
yesterday morning, where he will
continue 20 assist in preparing papers
and answers for presentation to the
court on Monday next Cn1berlond
