The Indians Of this country have just
closed religious revival and have left
for Pacific county, where they will en-
deavor to rekindle a religious spirit
among the tribes there, says the Aber-
deem correspondent Of the Portland
Drt CONAN. Their religion is very
unique, strikingly original and dis
tinctly Indian. 1t is known us the
Shaker religion. 1t is said that it first
originated in the sound country, among
the Mud Bay Indians. The story is
that one of the tribe. John Slocum. was
taken sick and gradually wasted away
and died. Preparations were made for
the funeral, but John surprised his
friends by coming to life again the day
tie funeral was to be held. lie stated
that he had gone to heaven. but that
he was told to go back to earth again
and help his people; that they were
very wicked, and that he must help
them. His recovery was very rapid,
and he at once started this new sect

BEAULIEU.

Communicated by Alex. Falconer. of Beauli, u.
On the 18th inst. as Henry Whittier
and Robert Russell were reconnoitering
ON the Pembina Mountains west of
Beaulieu, their attention was directed
to a heap of earth that had apparently
been lately thrown up. On closer ex-
animation thev perceived that a hole
had been excavated on the hillside,
and from indications they surmised it
to lie the den of Il bear They called in
the aid of three men, Otto Rodpr,
Louis Towers and John Griffith, who
having armed themsel Ives with shovels,
axes and guns repaired to bruin S
winterquarters. They speedily cleared
the earth away from his Utmost lair
and then the bear was forced to show
his shape and prepare to make his exit.
On perceiving his head Whittier, as
quick as the knuckle of the fore finger
could bend. landed four bullets in his
head and bruin succumbed to the dead
Iy lead. All was over within fifteen
minutes. The bear was a male, jet
black, would have been four years old
in the coming spring and was in excel
lent condition. His weight would be
between $50 and 500 pounds. length six
and a half feet and walking height
three and a half feet. A layer of fat
from 2 to "a inches thick between the
skin and esculent fibre covered the ami
mal-its consistency similar to the fat
flesh Of pig. His fur is superb-uot
at all injured in the capture and feels
soft and downy. He was armed with
four tusks and all that was lost in the
battle was one t,,sk. three remaining
intact. This is likely to have been the
noblest specimen of its kind that has
been killed since the white man set
tied here.

stories he tells of his experience are
amusing.

concession here made something like

There were no competitors and I got
the concession. Now 1 wish I had not.
I bought up all the popcorn and peanut

went south and purchased a carload Of
peanuts and made contracts for sever
al other carloads to be shipped later

dred bags of old corn and peanuts,
went over and followed it.
