Montreal, Sept. 3.
On Sunday the 20th of July last, as Miss Sophro
nia Williams was returning home from church in
the afternoon, in the township of Eaton, a Bear was
discovered following her, of which she was not
aware until alarmed by the cries of Mr. Ansell
Mitchell, Mr. A. Williams, Mr. Ilagley and others.
Miss Williams ran and succeeded in getting to her
father's house without any injury, except being
very much frightened. The above mentioned per
sons pursued the Bear with one gun and one axe,
and having come up with him. fired at him, and by
the blood which followed their shot, imagined
they had inflicted a mortal wound, but the Bear
making off, they continued their pursuit, their gun
had lost its lock, and was therefore useless.—Mr.
Mitchell seized the sxe out of another person's
hand, and being swifter than the rest, pursued him
alone. He was advised not to attack (being a he
bear) until the rest came up, but Mr. M. not fearing
any danger, was soon out of their sight, and coming
up with hitn, in the act of going over the log, struck
him on the rump with the head of the axe The
Bear, not receiving any particular injury, threw
himself over the log, Mr. M. followed and struck
him again on the head with the axe-head, which
brought him down, but when Mr. M. was about to
repeat the blow, he rose up, seized him near the left
shoulder with one paw, seized his hand with his
month, began biting and tearing his arm, and throw
ing himself on his back attempted to pull Mr. M.
down upon him, who seeing his object, jumped
with all his force past the Bear's head, and as he
prepared for another gripe, twitched his arm out of
his mouth, which tore off part of his flesh ; he then
jumped over the log, in the act of doing which the
Bear made a blow at hirn with his paw, which only
tore his trowsers. The Bear then retreated, and
Mr. M. waited the arrival of the rest of the party,
when they concluded to pursue him no further till
next morning, as it was then nearly dark. The
next morning a party went in search of, and
succeeded in killing him, after having put 7 shots
into his body, fie measured nearly six feet in
length, and full nine inches across his head from
ear to ear. We are happy to state that Mr. Mitch
ell is in a fair way to recover.
Juan Rufa, said, " there are two classes of persons
who are inconsolable : the rich on the point of death
and women on the departure of their beauty. "—He
said, on another occations, " that he who defined a
compliment to be an agreeable falsehood, which
serves as a net to cath dupes, was not far short of
the truth, since the greater part of compliments
are expressions directly at variance with the inter
nal conviction."

daughter of Daniel Rodney, Esq. after a short illness.

rpUESDAY next will be a busy day in Philadelphia, as a
L great Election will take place there as well as here—
not for Honor but Trofil, as the candidates will divide more
than
in suitable sums to purchase stock and farms, viz.
8000 HOLLARS,
S4000, 82336, 82000« 81000, SH)00,
2000 in prizes of 500 DOLLARS.
2000 in prizes of 200
3600 in prizes of 100
0000 in prizes of 50 Sic.
And 822,000 in other prizes.
This will be the greatest Lottery ever drawn in Penny!- j
vania ill so short a time, as it will be all over in live min
utes, and the prizes paid on demand.
The citizens of Delaware have now indeed a great chance,
as the subscribers, for their accommodation have obtained
with difficulty a few -whole tickets and Shares, which they
will distribute at the same low rate as in Philadelphia.
Let us therefore while electing an independent Governor to
benefit the state, choose a ticket for outselves that will
make us truly independent. We may be fortunate in both
Elections, as men live hap-hazard through life, unconscious
of the good that awaits them.

REPUBLICANS
Of CHRISTIANA Hundred!
To-Morrow
Is the day on which it is in your 'power to es
tablish the reign of Democratic principles in
Remember! that if you fail, your brethren,
throughout the State, will have just reason to
reproach you with betraying a cause in which
they are straining every nerve.
Remember! the (lays of 'Ü8, and the persecu
tions of which they were the witnesses.
Look at the conduct of Federalism wherever
power is in its hands.
The same intolerant spirit süll exists—the
same proscribing and vindictive monster rears
its head to glut its vengeance with new victims.
We could have been content in these days of
peace and domestic tranquillity, when the prin
ciples of Democracy are established through
out the Union, and the correctness of its policy
is universally acknowledged, to have forgotten
past times, and to cultivate harmony with our
neighbors.
But how were these good feelings recipro
cated ?
Look at the federal press ! Teeming with
the most malignant and rancorous abuse of the
best men in the State ! Diving into the sacred
relations of private life, and violating the best
feelings of our nature by a system of slander
ous insinuations and low and prolligate cal
umny, unprecedented in this State, and only
w 7 orthy of the worst days of party rancor ! !
Remember Caleb Rodney's administration
when every Democrat was swept from office,
and the meanest shuttling and trafficking re
sorted to, to cheat a Democratic Governor of his
constitutional power of appointment to office.
Federal intolerance is a lire that burns for
ever.
