When I have uothin much importance to write, I shall but little, and endeavor to compress y I do write into as small a compass as'] slbie.i During the last few weeks we have 1 a foretaste of real winter in this ele ted region. The wind, blowing from North-west, has at times boen quite c and?keen. The forests upon tho mo tains around us have donned therre? of russet and brown ; and it will pol long before the noble old trees, grim i lonely monarchs of those wild and or gjt eminences and solitudes, strippec their summer garments, will have stand with bare and uncovered hei and branches in the keen and wini blasts;. " ...... I remember'read ing somewhere of English lady who was once so enamoi with the various colors and tints of American forest in Autumn, that s had a'quantity of leaves of the rich? and most beautiful dyes and hues gal ered, and made a splendid ball dress them, which she exhibited at a party < her .return home to the np little wond ?nd admiration of her friends in " DH ry old England."" I have mentioned tl merely to say, that if our English sist were here now in the picturesque del md glens of these parti-eolored foresl where the sylvan goddess seems to. ha' greeted her most beautiful and fancif temples and shrines, she might grati aer taste for the inimitable and exquisi exhibitions of nature's esthetics to tl fullest extent. But we must leave tl lair domain of the beautiful abd poetic in nature, the study and contemplatic jf which is so well calculated to eleva md ennoble human nature, and turn 1 he practical and bustling world of ma wound us, for the age in which we liv frith al 1 its boasted p rog ress and ach ie vi uents, ismteTO'ely**lnWeTl8j and uti lit; rian.

The paw wa left, I suppose, to show tho size of th animal, and to convince all nnbelieviv Thomases that the meat was genuine, nc pork, which it very much resembles, bu the ham of ? real "bruin." But I lean that the bringing of bear meat her for sale is by no means an unusual oe currents, Tho animais abound in th mountainous country North of th js town and in the Western spction of Nortl Carolina, which is partjy inhabited b; remnants of tim Oheroko?

His statistics cover the States of France, Holland and Belgium. According to M.
