THAT BEAR TRAMP.-The bear spoken of
a few days since as being in the brush on the
banks of the American river is heard of
almost nightly. He ia monster grizzly, and
when he starts out on nocturnal raid he
makes it lively for chicken coops, yeung pigs
and farmyard animals generally. He has
visited George R:ch's place several times.
The boys at the Lake House have organized
company, equipped themselves with shot.

next appearance in their neighborhood.
james Barkley, an old trapper from Kalams-
zoo, has been elected captain. He tells mary

his time. The boys, according to instructions
from their captain, lie in waiting for their

night on the fence, shotgun in hand, peering

with his manner of keeping the accounts, 1, as
chief of the Office, took the accounts out of his
hands and took charge of them myself" This,
by want of dehniteness. duplicates all the
deputies of the office. 1t is but fair to say
that the name used was not that of G. M,
Coglan or ". B. Hamilton. Neither of these
gentlemen have ever had anything to do with

this subisc it may be stated that for several
days rumor has been current that Mr..
Bsrkey had paid over the State money used
by him. Inquiry proves this rumor to be un-
founded. AT the close of Controller Browns
administration the account was closed and
definitely settled. If Mr.. Berkey did not ap-
propriate this money to his own use he has it
still in his possession, and can pay it at any
time. The delsy should be- satisfactorily ex.
