A Young Mems Club.

1t is necessary that there should be per-
fected at once complete and thorough Or
ganization of the Democratic party in this
city. System, preparation and order Will
bear good fruit, and prove their efilcacy
when the democratic hosts arc marshaled
for the conflict in November next. Form
ing part of the glorious eighth Congress
sional district the banner district Of the
party and State, we feel a pardonablc pride
in maintaining the prestige so justly de-
served. To that end is suggested the i'm
mediate formation of "YoUNG MEMS
DEMOCRATIC CLUB"
The approaching fight is ono for civil
liberty and independence. Should the
democratic party be defeated in November:
the conservative and substantial element in
the Commonwealth will hence(orth have no
part or voice in the conduct Of the affairs of
the State 1t is struggle for life-.-political
and civil life.
To none is this contest Of such great i'm
portance as TO the young men Of the State;
the present belongs to the old, the future
to the young. 1t is within the power of the
young men of the State to carry this contest;
to them is entrusted the post Of honor, the
advance guard. Let the young guard, At
tuated by ardent enthusiasm and vigor of
youth, form the skirnish line and crush all
obstacles from The i%ith, SO that III Novem-
Der they, together with the old guard, in
solid phalanx. may march TO the polls and
to victory. Organization is what is needed
and this upon the part OF the young men
will produce The most effective service and
beneficial results.
Let every patriot in whose bosom a love
Of liberty unite in the great work. Let
every man give Of his time, his energies. his
influence. With common will and pur-
pose let them work together and victory will
be scared.
Let Alexandria start the ball Form 4

A BEAR CHAsE.-We are informed by Mr.
Samuel NJ. Woods of Fort Defiance tb,,
there was quite an exciting time at the
Fort one day last week. A huge, bold
and impudent black bear, without the fear
Of guns, pistols or dogs before his ewes, ven.
tured his sable proportions, without the
slightest warning, and in broad day light
right into the midst ofthat unof1endinr and
innocent people. The citizens were frirht.
ened-guns refused to fire. and the dons
kept at a respectful distance. But recovering
somewhat from the CONSERVATION of the
moment, chase was commenced after Mr.
Bruin, but he only laughed at the folly of his
pursurers, and fled swiftly away. Good bye,

FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.-On last
Thursday morning, John Alternately brought
a monster eagle into town, which he had
killed on his place, fourmies from Forsyth,
the day previous. He had gone to field to
work. carrying his little son, two and a half
years ofage, with hin. 1t happened that he
had his shot gun in his hands, thinking that
he would need it tokill game. Suddenly he
heard Il sound in the air, which he describes
ms equal to the roaring of the wind, and saw
!; large shadow on the ground Looking up
he saw huge bird swooping down upon his
son. AS quick as possible he raised his gun
and fired: and was fortunate enough to bring
the eagle to the ground. Hepicked him up
and started homeward. carrying the
bird on his shoulder. Suddenly the
eagle buried his talons in his right arm
and seized his left with his beak. Mr. Alb
ernathy called for help, and some neighbors,
four in number, came to his assistance. 1t
required their united efforts to release the
bird from his firm hold. When relieved he
found that his arm was badly lacerated, the
flesh being torn from the bone in several
places. The beaS was sunk to the bone in
the right hand. The eagle measured seven
feet and four inches from tip to tip. and
weighed seventeen and onc-half pounds.
He was never seen i'll the neighborhood be-
FORE and it is probable he strayed from the
coast. Mr.. Alternately says his strength
WAS prodiSious. He would have readily
carried off the little boy had it not been that
his fatherwas fortunately armed with gun.

The JUSTICE Of the Government of the
Areopagus at Athens was so exact that the
sovererelgns of other countries submitted
their differences TO its decision. It held its
sessions at night and decided them before
morning; for these reasons, that the Judges
being unknown there might be no attempt
to corrupt them, and as they saw neither
accuser nor defendant, their decision might
be impartial. This court existed at period
almost as long anterior as the present is
pOSterior to the commencement of the Chris
tian era; and yet in all that time instead of
an advance there has been il retrogression
in the administration of justice, for jurors
now not only know, and are known by the
parties before them, but are allowed oppor-
tunities for being approached with offers of
corrupting brides and that advantage is
taken of these opportunities is rendered

his heart and the tenderness of his nature and
now that death has broke our companionship and

who are acquainted with the venerable sire, it is
almost needless to speak of the many virtues of

found reflected in the honored dead He lived
above reproach. He wore the white flower Of
spotless reputation his character was so high that
the tongue of detraction never even sought to

SHELL FIRED by the Egyptians is said by an
official report to have passed few feet above Sir
Garnet Wolseley's head, and then taken off the
leg of a horse only ten yards behind him. A
stickler for accuracy has been ciphering over the
story. Allowing that the head of the General on
horseback WITS nine feet from the ground. that the
shell passed three feet higher and that the horse
leg w:ls struck two feet from the ground, the ira
jectory of the shell would show fall of ten feet
Calculating the speed of the she'll from these data
ii will be found that it required ive-eighths of
second to travel thirty feet velocity insufficient
to take off the horses leg.
