BEAR KILLED.-There was slight
bear scrape up in the mountains few
days ago, says the Yamhill Reporter,
Joe Dougherty, in company ofanother
man and two of his (Dougherty's)
children it seems went out to camp.
They took pack-load Of their equip
age some distance from the wagon
and, leaving them in care of the chill
dren, the men returned for another
load. During their absence large
bear came upon the scene, making
toward the little folks. They fled I'M
terror, though one of them, a little
girl, having the presence of mind to
pick up gun which was among the
traps and carry it with her. The
children ran some distance with the
bear following close behind them
when they met their father and friend.
Then they fell exhausted to the
ground; Dougherty caught up the gun,
and after firing two or three shots,
succeeded in sending Mr.. Bruin out of
that particular '"hunting ground"
ito that bourne from whence"-nO
mischievous bear was ever borne
that is within the knowledge of the
average poet.

Several places in Europe exhibit a
growth during the past 20 years equal
to any of our cities. Berlin is one of
the most notable, having increased
from 6O0,0O0 inhabitants in 1870, to
l,22O,O in 1881, an increase of 900, 900,
or greater than that of any city in the
United States. GLASGOW has grown in
the same time from a city of 100000 to
almost a million. The great city of
London has been increased IN the last
90 years by the addition of over 1,0O0,-
900 people. Besides these larger cities
many small manufacturing towns
have made remarkable increase. Is
sen, Germany, with 10000 people,
Birkenhead, England, with 10000,
Rochdale, England, with $4,000, and
several other cities, have sprung into
prominence within score of years
from almost nothing. The growth Of
the smaller cities is due to the estab
lishment of manufacturing interests
therein, while the larger ones owe
their increase to their positions as po-
litical and commercial centers.

A Is Year Uld Hunter Kills a Big
Panther.

The most remarkable case of grit,
says the Roseburg Ptdindedler, took
place on the 9th ult., on south Deer
Creek. A little boy 10 years old, Per-
kins by name, got after large Cali
fornia lion that had been worried by
dogs within a hundred yardsaor so of
Frank BuelPs barn. The little fellow
had no gun but an old musket loaded
with bird shot, but he ran up close
and shot it. 1t turned on him but
the dogs came to the rescue, and when
it turned from him to the dogs it was
so close that its tail struck his
shoulder. 1t then took to tree and
the little fellow continued to pepper
away at it until he shot away all of
his shot, when he went to making
wooden plugs and shooting them ut
it, at no time being far enough away
from the animal to be out of reach in
case it wanted to jump on him. FL
nally Mr.. Newman came to the rescue
with Winchester and dispatched
him. He was so large that man
could not drag him along on level
ground.
