In somo inatances the cinnamon, after boing badly hit, rushes at tho tres up which his antagonist " has ehinned for dear lifo, soizes it in his tooth,’ 'and claws and attompts to toar it down, At this critionl juncturo it iu best for the huntor to pro- (servo bis composure, and not fly oft tho handle, iThe boar may keop him imprisoned an hour or 60; but Bruln has a small stock of pationco, #nd, when ho ageortaing that the position is im- preguable, he gives up tho job in disgust, snd rotires in good order. . TIHE GRIZZLY, however, stands at tho head of tho bear family, and i3 more fearod and respacted than all othera, He is a trenchorous, sullon, malicious, desper- ato, ill-mannered, uncouth, shaggy bruto,—ono who stubbornly resists all advances toward triendebip, and s roady at any time to dio in the Iast ditoh, Liko the immortal *0ld Guerd” of Napoleon, your genuino grizzly nover sur- renders, bub is game to the fi:t.

And, wherevor these ars put cn, the condition and rogulations of tho rogulnr cara are allowed to run down, 60 as to make tho taking of the extra car neceanary to decency.
