Scared by the Steam Roller.

Last night a horse attached to a
buggy, got scared at the steam roller,
and bOlted off. AS result the buggy
was wrecked, but the occupant, whose
name could not be learned, was unin-
jured. After the wreckage the man
took the horse and tied it to the steam
roller to cure it of its scare. At first
it tugged considerably, but finding it
could not get away with the roller, it
became reconciled to it and probably
thought it was a fool for being so
scared at it.

Adventure With a Bear.

WATERFOWL IN. " Correspondence Of the
New York Sun.
Andrew Mckinney and Will Sulli-
van live in Jayville, small settle
ment in the AdirOndacks, thirty miles
north of Carthage. Both are engaged
in numbering and bark peeling, and
Wednesday left their camp in the
woods to come out to Harrisville, some
twelve or fifteen miles away. They
were driving slowly, about five miles
from Jayville, when their horses be-
gan to snort and plunge, and bear of
brush and took a position in the road
not more than five rods ahead of them.
The brute did not seem to be the least
launches, disputing the right
of way. The men had all
they could do to manage the
affrighted horses, and came to the
conclusion that either the bear must
be induced to move out of the way or
they must turn around and go back.
They had no firearms. Mckinney de-
clares that he saw a grin on the ami
mails face while they discussed the
situation. They finally concluded to
turn the team about and let the bear
chase them back over the road pro-
vided he did not take kindly to being
bombarded with stones, which were
plenty in the road. When everything
was ready for speedy retreat Nc
Kinney held the horses while Sulli-
van who was the strongest, opened
up the fusilade. The bear sat still and
seemed to watch the proceedings with
renewed interest. He didn't even
wink as the missiles whiZzed past
him, and when one struck him on
the shoulder he did not vince, but he
struck at the next one with his paw
in way that showed some bad blood.
Finally Sullivan got in two pound
stone on the brute's head. and it
seemed to make him weary of the fun.
He dropped down on all tours and
Sullivan made for the wagon. Bruin,
however, showed no disposition to
follow, but simply moved out into the
brush about two rods from the road
where he stopped and sat up to watch
tor further developments. The men
turned their horses about and drove
by unmolested. Both of them have
encountered bears in the north woods
before, but they join in the assertion
that they never saw one with so little
fight in him and such ungOvernable
curiosity as this one.
