- ‘VEN ovary !NTELLIGENCE, Bears 1x Montgomery Covxty.—We no- tice that numbers of black bears are making their appearance in different parts of the country, and in some instances are creating considerable alarm by their boldness, as well doing di to thi ly the as doing dam: ie CTO} Leepapael rr growing corn, for which B: relish. savas sign, ba Chase Ghecoteaiag, pata ominous , in these times, that wild beasts, which erdinarily hide themselves as remotely as possible from the eye of man, are now seen ss boldly at large im the face of day. They see in this all sorts of coming anarchy and national desola- tio Without taking so gloomy '@ look ahead the ap; of these wild animals may be accounted for on the supposition that they are starved out from the vast ing 2 which, in New Jersey and other States, have served them for retreats, by some unusual failure of their ordinary means of sustenance. From a gentleman whose name we did not ascertain, we learn that a large black bear has exhibited himself lately on the Burnt Mill branch in the neighborhood of Colesville aud “ Little Britain,” in Montgomery county. This bear was first seen by sae in quest of a stray cow. He was squa' upon his haunches at the foot of a chestnut tree, and surveying the loaded boughs with a hungry look, as if meditating ‘‘a raise,’ but the trunk of the tree was probably too small to enable Bruffi to gain a whereby to as- cend; and with a diss: ied shake of the head the bear sprang over a fallen log and trotted off through the woods. It is needless to say that the boys moved off somewhat rap- idly in the opposite direction. On sul juent examination the trunk of this tree was found to bear marks of the bear’s claws as he stood at the foot of the tree ata height which would indicate him to be from 7 to 9 feet in length from the gambrel to the tip of the nose. This is a very respectable sized bear for these de- merate days. We hear that some of the unters of that neighborhood are on the watch for Bruin, and no doubt are licking their chops in anticipation of a bear steak. Success to the Montgomerians on their hunt! Prorgsson Munper.—This gentleman, we are happy to announce, has returned to this city in excellent health and spirits, and is now activel, eg pe in making preparations for the opening of one of the most brilliant professional seasons ever known to Washing- ton. He has secured @ fine room, the large hall at the corner of Ninth and D streets, for- werly Palmer’s Academy of Music, but which will be known in future as ‘‘ Mander’: Matro- politan Hall.” Prof. M. has not been idle during his ab- sence, and will exhibit the results of his trip in the production of a variety of new and fash- ionable dances. We have had occasion more than once to notice favorably the mode of training adopted by Professor M., and can now only reiterate the opinion that parents de- siring their children taught this graceful art, cannot find a more pains-taking teacher. or one better alified for the work The remarkable degreé of proficiency attained by his pupils of Iast season, as exhibited in the May Ball exercises, is doubtless still fresh im the recollection of those who were prezent at that interesting festival We cordially commend Professor Munder to our readers as a highly accomplished and most successful teacher. His advertisement will be found in another column. Pata UccurREN extreme sorrow th: t is with feelings of record the death of Stratton Hood, about fourteen years, son of John Hood, , of the General Land Offiee. Yesterday afternoon he was engaged in playing with his companions, and, while running, fell inthe street; thus dislocating his neck He was conveyed to his home in the neighborhood, but before the physician, Dr Wilson, arrived to attend him, his spirit had departed. The occurrence is addition- ally mournful from the fact that several min- utes only before the fatal event he was in the | smears of good health and joyous spirite— appy in the society of his comrades, without ® cloud of care; but “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,” death interposed to end his brief career, and rive the hearts of those at home who so fondly loved him, and spread over that happy household an impenetrable gloom. Human sympathy, in this dark hour of his friends’ distress, cannot assuage the grief so poignantly experienced. A “Hoop” Catastropuz!—If the men would attend to their own business they would have enough to occupy their idle time, with- out censuring or uncharitably commenting on ladies’ gear. The fair ones, no doubt, find their hoops very convenient to keep coxcombs at a proper distance. Some one of the latter bas, perhaps, sought revenge in the following publication, which we copy from a distant newspaper: “Sam—‘ Bob, what makes you limp so”’ “ Bob—‘ Limp! I guess you’d limp if you had walked between two rows of barrel hoops aslong as I have. Why, the outside of my legs are as raw as a piece of beef; but I have got an invention to cure that difficulty. I’m going to take them military pants of mine, and run a piece of bar steel right down through the stripes, and then, if any hooped female or walking cooper’s shop invites me out, I think I shan’t have my leg saw’d off.’ ” Tax WearTner.—We are indebted to “B.,”” of Georgetown, for the following notes of the range of the thermometer from Friday noon, September 19, to this morning : Morning.
