THE ORIGIN OF THE TERM "oX
FORD BEARS"

Occasional inquiries are made N 70
the origin Of the term "Oxford Bears" as
applied to the people Of Oxford County.
A member Of the Legislature Of 1910 a
few year. since gave me. wha, he said,
wa. a true history relating TO this inqui.
~. and from all ,ha, have been able to
learn since. ! am strongly inclined to the
opinion ,hA, be 10 correct.
Al ,ha, time (lsi0) there Vas .
bounty on bear.. and a bill Was intro.
duced into the Legislature TO repeal Il.
10 obtain the bounty provided by law
Il va. necessary to produce to the prop.
er authorize. the .ealp Of the unfor,u.
nate bruin which had fallen by the hand
Of hi. adversary.
When the bill repealing the act came
up for ",hird reading" there va. an ex.
citing debate. which terminated in =
somewhat acrimonious personal Ill, be-
tween Benjamin ID. Eastman. Esq. OF
Wesley. the champion for repeal. and
Gen. J. J. Perry. then a representative
from the Oxford and Hebron district.
who led the opposition. The other
members Of the House were greatly
amused. as these two oomba,An,s gave
and parted their parliamentary ,hrusis a,
each other aud. as one or the other
seemed TO ge, the better OF bis .an,sgon-
is,, he would be greeted with applause
from all sides Of the House.
At length, Eastman Strengthening up
to his full length. and raising bis voice
to il. fulles, pitch. made an impassioned
appeal to the House 10 repeal the scan.
d.iou. Law. "For." said he. "if Il was
no, done. the Oxford Bear (POin,ins
his finger directly a, Pery) instead Of be-
ing returned a member Of the House,
would have his scalp brough, here for q
bounty. and with him the life Of every
Oxford Bear In the county would be
imperilled by the greed Of the avarieiou'
hunters"
This sharp re,ort drought down th'
house" and ended the debate in uproar.
iOus applause.
Thi. debate 90, into some OF the news
papers q, the time, who dubbed the Ok
ford county delegation +. "OIfor'
Bears"-in fact. they more or less wen
by this name among their brother mem
beu during the remainder Of the 'e'
sion.
And nov the queer part OF the who'll
thing IL the sequel; That what va
originally passed around among the mem
bers Of Of ihs, Legislature and in the
newspaper press Of ,hs, day as = goo
joke, has worked itself into history. un'
Ill the sturdy people Of ,ha, grand oil
county and their descendants have be
come proud Of the cognomen. and boa'
that the "Besrs Of Oxford" have raises
and sent out to tlsn the world . large

men than any other county in the Am
