Bulletin recently contained the following : Tho skin of an immense polar bear ha been received by a gentle man in this city by the bark Nile, from u friend on the bark Isabella, at Cumberland Inlet, with tho fol lowing account of its capture: "A party of men from the Isabella, including a number of Esquimaux and myself, were walking ou the ico a short distance from the ship, when, rounding a hummock, we unexpectedly discovered, a short distance from us, a large bear quietly feeding. We would have returned to the ship without dis turbing it, as we were armed with only one rifle and a few Rnem-s enr- ried by the natives, had not ouo of tne several dogs that were with us announced our presence by a loud bark. Tho bear, as soon as it saw tho intruders began to advance slowly toward us, but wa3 met by the dogs, who attacked the aniinal vigorously, but with little effect. lie shook them off, and after injuring three of them so badly that they had to bo killed, con tinued to advance. Wo discharged the rifle and thou fled to the ship, where we urmed ourselves and came out; to look after the bear, which had disappeared behind one of tho numerous hummocks by which we wero surrounded. We had searched for Eome time, when as one of the Esquimaux passed the corner of a hummock he"came face to face with the infuriated animal. He gave a fearful cry just a3 the brute struck him with one of his immense paws. The rest of us heard tho cry and rapidly surrounded the brute, which stood lierfoellv still over the bodv of the Esquimaux. We fired six teen shots, twelve of which entered his body before ho received his death wound. .The native was in s.'nsib'o when we picked him up and badly torn about the shoulders by the beast's claws, but not seri ously nurr. We took tho bodyol the bear on a sledge to tho ship ; it weighed 1575 pounds, and was ten feet and one inch from nose to tail, and eight feet and four inches around the thickest part of its oouv. - for Am anna River For Pine Bluff, Littlo Rock.
