 An exchange says that bears In Norway break down telegraph lines by climbing the poles and sleeping on the cross-trees. Guards are re- quired all along the lines to prevent these depredations.

 The Arizona Republican pub- fishes list of warrants drawn dur ing the past year by the Territorial Auritor, from which it appears that the Arizona papers still continue to ''get their work in on the public treasury as of yore. Thus, one Phe- nix paper receives the neat sum of sl ,53s for printing reports of territo- rial officers, a Tucson paper gets S350 for printing the Governors message, and three papers $466 each for publishing the proceedings of the Legislature, which in civilized countries is considered as news. There is probably not a single jour nal in the territory of Arizona that could pay expenses without city, county or territorial pap. The pop ulation there is very sparse and scat tered, and the papers are about as good as the support given them war rants-in some cases better.-Los
