It's white spires cleaning In the golden glare
Like slender swords OF fame up iiIed there
To guard its peace aud strike Invaders down;
there Is no sound, save when that minstrel

The thrush. in slumber sings all unaware,
Or when the bees, across the amber air,
Cry from the clover-sea wherein they drown.
Near by, in shadow patches browse the sheep;
Below, brook in silence slips along
With scarce ripple on its silver ude;
And here, within this green domain OF Sleep,

Death OF Ursa Major.

On Friday last Mr.. Louis Odin and Mr.. Philip
Smith, both well-known IN this city, crossed to
Surrey and struck out at quick pace along the
cd 6emiahmoo trail They were after bear,
and went fully armed and ready to tackle any
thing from q raccoon to q mountain lion.
About two and a half miles down the trail they
encountered monster bear, and both hunters
opened fire at once. The bear fell dead. It 10 q
matter of doubt which OF the bear-killers aimed
the fatal shot. SO the honors may be divided be-
tween them. The messenger OF death was A.
Winchester bullet, and its billet wss noble
mark Brain weighed $50 pounds, and lis pslt,
when skinned, measured eleven feet from
snout to base Of tail the natrened mis-shapen
bullet which did the fatal work and the i'm
mense paws are retained by Mr.. smith. The
hide IL on view at Wright Bros ore on Colum-
bia street. The bear is one OF the largest that
has been killed in these parts in q long time,
and the hunters are to be congratulated on
their success. Surrey Is infested with bears,
and has been since the country was first settled,
and Messrs. Odin and Smith intend TO thin
them out Bit before sprtug.

rrLLMAN AND THE "rELEeRAPH."

From two extremes OF the Union-one
at Colum bia, South Carolina, and the other
at Seattle, Washington--have been uttered
strictly harmonious Democratic opinions
in respect to the pending bill for the regu-
lation of federal elections. The one was by
Tillmsn. the newly-elected Governor OF
South Carolina, in bis inaugural message
on the 9TH; the other--an echo of the first
WAS by the Seattle Telegraph, local organ
of the Democratic party in this city.
