Rugged by a Bear.

A dispatch from Damascus Wayne
county. Pa, says: Lottie Merrill, the
female hunter Of this section, has just
had another adventure worthy of record
and one which came so near costiug
her her life that she will probably 10
the future never resume her masculine
sport. a few days AGO, just after the
sreat storm which swept over the couu-
try, Lottie determined to 60 deer hnnt-
ing.
Donnrg her snow shoes she started
to cross Orig Swamp, a dense mass Of
>crub oak and laurel. When she had
reached tho center Of the marsh she
discoyeredthe footprints of very large
bear on the crust. Size followed the
trail out Of the swamp for about two
miles, when she discovered the den
which the animal inhabited. Entering
the cave she found two little cubs on a
bed olleayes IN one corner. The cubs
were about the size OF kittens and were
easily captured. Lottie was just emerg
ng from the cave when she was met
by an immense she bear. The bear
had heard The cubs yell, and was maxi
ing all possible speed to rescue them.
Before Lotlie could draw her rifle to
her shoulder the animal was upon her,
and. grasping her in her paws, gave
her such terrible squeeze that she
tainted when the bear. thinking her
dead, released her grip. She FORUM
ately regained consciousness quickly,
and while the old tear was playing with
her cubs the plucky hunter drew her
rifle and shot her in The side. The bull
let did not strike the animals heart.
aud as the brute dashed at her again
Lotlie drew her huning-knife and with
one bold stroke ne arly severed the
bears head from the body. Lottie Was
just congratulaling herself on her sue
cessiul escape when the dead bears
mate made his appearance. Lottie's
fife was unloaded and she was totally
unprepar d for second encounter, but
determined TO light it OUT The strug
lie was a long one. Fortunately the
Young lady was not encu mbered In her
motions by petticoats. for in all her hunt
ing expeditions she wears pantaloons
Of dOeskin, with long blouse. When,
finally, Lottie though the bear was dead
she stopped over to cut his throat, and
the animal, with one stroke Of his mon
strous paw, tore the clothing almost
completely from her body. During the
prolracted struggle the bear had reached
The edge Of a elf fully hundred feet
and sloping at au angle Of more than
iorly-dye degrees down to the Wallin-
paupack creek AS the animal grabbed
Loltie he commenced sliding on the
slippery crust down the almost perpen-
d.cular slope. Lottie was carried with
him, and every foot Of distance traver-
,ed added 10 their velocity. When they
reached the foot Of the slope they struck
against a tree, completely killing the
bear and breaking two Ct Lotlie's ribs,
her lsit arm and one of her limbs. She
managed, however, 10 crawl about a
mile to q house where she received
msdica treatment. The first deer kill
led weigl ed when dressed 403 pounds
and The male one asa pounds. Lottie,
who is. improving slowly, has the cubs
in her possession but she says 1t Will
be some time before she Will take anoth
er expedition Of this kind. "

COURSE OF READING.

That the world moves is fact that
no one now disputes; that the cause
of education is rapidly moving on is
fact as uncontrovertible as the
former one, and woe be to the teacher
who closes his eyes to the fact.
The teacher of to-day must be a
person of general information. In
view of this, the Wisconsin Teachers
Association, at its last session, July.
1881, adopted the Course of Reading
below given, and in harmony with its
action, l have decided to have my
springs certificates so printed that |
can credit on them to those teachers
who read the course as laid down in
the scheme.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

In order that persons charged with
crime and who are innocent thereof
might not be made to suffer the pen
alties to which our laws are presumed
to subject the guilty, the most care
full safeguards have leen thrown
around criminals of all classes pend
ing their examination and trial, in
consequence of which the worst GRIM
inals, with the aid of money, shrewd
attorneys and few friends, often es-
cape the meshes of the law and the
punishment they SO richly deserve.
The numerous murders committed in
Wisconsin since the abolition of the
death penalty, followed by an occas-
ional lynching, is beginning to prompt
the question among law-abiding peo-
pie whether or not capital punishment
in this state was prematurely dispens-
ed with. 1t is seldom that any man,
deliberately or otherwise, commits
the CRIME of murder with the feeling
that he will expiate his crime by suf-
fering the death penalty, and we are
of the opinion that should capital pun
ishment be restored in this State muir
ders and lynchings would be less
frequent and that society would be
better protected. The possibility of
escaping conviction, coupled with the
chance of securing pardon, should con-
viction follow, after an imprisonment
of fewyears upon a life sentence, goes
far toward removing restraint upon
the vicious and their wicked purposes.
The abolition of the death penalty
was secured by the influence of q
mawkish sentimentality which seeks
to reserve to criminals rights and
privileges which they have voluntari-
ly forfeited, to the injury of society
and welfare of the general public.
Rejecting upon the difficulty and cost
of convicting criminals of whose guilt
there can scarcely exist reasonable
doubt, and upon the too frequent in
tervention of the pardoning power, we
do not wonder at the increasing con-
tempt for law, and are forced to the
conclusion that outraged society has
some rights as we'll as criminals have.
and that some means should soon be
adopted by which the rights of socie-
ty against criminals can be as effectu-
ally protected as the rights of GRIMM
ais against society are now protected.
We believe that the public good de-
mands the restoration of the death pen
atty in Wisconsin for the crime of
murder in the first degree, and also
such a change in our laws governing
pardons rs will take from the Execu-
tive the sole power to grant them.
