Healer SchLGfter.

Heater SchtGtteT.
SALEM, Or, Dec. 8.-Rollin Budlong a
thirteen-year-old boy living with his par
ents in Central Park Addition, was taken
sick over year ago with bone disease and
has not walked since, but had to be
wheeled about and his parents had re-.
signed themselves to the conviction that
he would always be a cripple. The boy,
however, hearing one day of the cures
effected by Schlatter, made up his mind to
send him handkerchief in the hope of
being cured.
Rollin sent handkerchief to the healer
on the oath of October and waited pa.
tiently for a month for it's return, untit
yesterday it arrived. The remarkable
part of the affair is that from the day he
sent the article he began to improve i'm
health, to feel more cheerful and grow per-
ceptibly stronger. In the month he has
gained just eight pounds. His appetite
has grown robust and he feels sure that he
is going to be greatly benefited.

EXCITING BEAR HUNT.

A letter from Charlottesville to the
Richmond Dispatch says: Last Satur-
day Mr.. Wash. Via, So years of age,
Mr.. Oscar Early, Mr.. Willie James,
and Mr.. Rice Via went out on hunt
These gentlemen live in the neighbor-
hood of Black Rock Springs, country
not thickly settled, and which is the
home of 'varmits" of every description
in profusion. They had not been out
long when they started four immense
bears. The dogs ran them oil the af-
ternoon, and about night ran one OF
them into his den in cliff of rocks.
Night coming on the hunters concluded
that they could do nothing until morn
ing, so one or two of the psrty were de-
tailed to watch the den while the others
went home, intending to come back
next morning and try to get Mr.. Bruin
out. During the night the other three
bears came to the den, it evidently be-
ing their habitation also, but were
frightened off by the camp fire. These
had gotten separated from the fourth
one during the hunt, the dogs follow
ing the one already run to lair. Sun
day morning the other gentlemen came
back TO the den, and with picks and
shovels endeavored to dig down to his
bearship. In the meantime MIR. Rice
Via sent his dog, valuable hound, into
the orifce, and in few minutes heard
"squawk," and the dog failed to re-
turn.
This got Mr.. Via excited, and he de-
termined to 60 in and rescue his dog.
The entrance to the den was long,
horizontal passageway about two feet
high and probably two feet wide. Mr..
Via prepared torch, and fastened it
upon long pole, which he thrust into
the opening before him, and entered
without knife, gun or other defensive
weapon. He had not gone far when
the bear seized the torch and extin-
guished it. Several times this occur
red, but finally Mr.. Via located him,
and found his fine dog in dying con-
dition. He backed out of the hole,
asked for his gun, and while some of
the other men pushed in the torch Mr..
Via succeeded in shooting the bear in
the head, killing him instantly. Mr..
Via then came out and his son went in
to bring out the dead bear.
The den was large aperture, prob
ably 90 feet square and 10 feet high,
and was approached from the passage
way above described by an inclined
plane. The man went through this pas
sage, entered the den, and pulled the
bear to the passage, and then endeav-
ored to pull him through, but found he
was unable to do so. He lay down on
his breast aud grasped the bear, and
the others caught hold of his feet and
brought both man and bear to the
light. The bear weighed easily 200
pounds, and was as "fat as butter"
The participants in this hunt are nat
urally very proud of their achievement.
It is stated that one of the other
bears chased on this occasion was
larger than the one killed. 1t is also
said that there is one in the neighbor
hood that will weigh 400 pounds. This
bear den is new Calvary Rock" about
two and half miles from Black Rock.
