at ROckport and Fulton, Texas, both of
which places are in the center of cattle
ranges, in which at least 100, 900 beeves

A Trap to, Catch a Polar Bear.

The natives Of the polar regions have
q most ingenious method of trapping
bears. A thick and strong piece Of
whalebone, about four inches broad and
two feet loug, is bent double. While I'm
this state some pieces Of blubber are
wrapped around it, and the contriyance
renders it hard and compact: it Is now
ready for use. The natives, being armed
frozen mass with them, depart in quest
of their prey, and as soon as the animsl
is seen, one of them deliberately dis
charges an arrow at it. The bear, feel
ing the result, pursues the party, now IN
full retreat; but meeting with the frozen
bluhber, dropped expressly for it, swal-
laws the lump. The chase, the exercise
of the inside soon cause the dissolution
of the blubber The whalebone, thus
freed from encumbrance, springs back To
