British Columbia Bear Story.

Alexandra Embree and his son
Walter are living together on the
old gentieman's farm about four
aud a half miles from the Went
worth station on the New Annan
road. A fortnight ago, while
father and son were standing in
the field, Mr.. Embree noticed the
sheep running, and, on looking
toward the foot Of the mountain
he saw an enormous bear crouch
ing and slowly creeping toward
his horses, which were feeding On
the hillside. He Immediately
sent his son for gun and an ak.
By the time the latter returned,
the bear was in twenty feet OF

about to spring upon the unsus-
pecting animal. Mr.. Embree
was about sixty yards from the
bear; which, on preceiving that
he was, observed, sat mp. and as
soon as Mr.. Embree fired, sprang
forward, rolled over, and then
ran away. The dog followed
him, the father and son keeping
on the trail by the bloody track

the steep and difficult mountain

to get through the Wind-falls and

had, however, only gone about Q

on his own track. On standing
still for few moments, the beal

Dear Sir:-I take pleasure in attest
ing to the excellent workmanship on the
Southern Standard press erected by you
last Summer on this place. It not only
works easily but has realized my expec-
tations as to the weight of the bales
turned out, some weighing as high as
58s pounds, and many over 500 pounds.
All this was done by hand. During last
season there were about 1870 bales pressed,
no accident or delay occurring durin g
the progress of the work feel satified
that any person desiring to put up
press of this character, cannot be other
wise than pleased with the manner III
which your work is performed.
Very Truly,

particularly for the transmission
of small amounts through the
mails. It was great conyen
fence TO be able to inclose rs
or so cent pieces of fractional
currency in letters, but heavy
silver coins of those denomina-
tious cannot be made available.
The late Mr.. Middleton, clerk of
the United States Court, was a
great admirer of fractional cur
rency, on account Of its conven-
fence for handling. When he
foresaw that it was to be driven
out OF circulation by subsidiary
silver coin, he went to the treas
ury and laid in a large supply Of
crisp little pieces of paper with
the government stamp on them.
Senators, members and others
around the Capitol found this
ont, and were constantly calling
Mr.. Middleton to exchange frac-
tional currency for silver: The
Postohice Department is every
now and then in receipt of
schemes proposing substitutes
for fractional currency. Among
other propositions is one that the
PosIoffice Department should
issue certificates representing
fractional parts of a dollar. But
as remarked by a high official OF
the department, the only substi-
tute for the old fractional cur
rency is q new fractional cur
rency.

leaving only the barrel in his
hand, and that appeared to pro-
duce no more effect than riding
whip in the hands Of child. AT
this point in the conflict the bear
pushed hard upon his foe, when
a log behind Mr.. Embree trip
ped him, and he fell backward
with the monster upon him. The
bear was about taking Mr.. En-
bree's head or face in his mouth,
when the latter thrust his right
hand into the bears mouth and
caught his tongue, but unfortu-
nately his arm coming out across
the animals mouth, the monster
shut it upon the arm and crushed
both bones, in the mans own
words, az easily as you would
break 8 pipe-stem.
The son now came to his res
cue by dealing the brute a tre-
mendous blow on the back of the
head with the edge Of the ak,
but so thick was the monsters
skin and fur that it only made a
small cut. Leaving The father
with his mangled and helpless
arm, the beast turned upon the
son. He first struck the ak,

Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months Of December aud January last L
packed $50 bales cotton--averaging IN
weight 500 pounds. | used an ordinary
5-16 cotton rope which, at the close OF
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for piow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press OF which
I have any knowledge Its cheapness
and durability should recommend it to
every one. I regard the Southern

Brooks or Reynolds or any press of like
make at $50. Yours truly,
