For our part, we spoke against the measure at the proper time, and were gratified at the Governors’ veto; but we were not of those who attributed dishonest and corrupt motives to those who supported it. The necessity of a Bulkhead to pro tect the harbor of San Franeisco, and the propriety of paesing the Parsons’ Bill, were matters about which men might honestly differ ; but bk Gov.

The assessment roll of Nevada county, for 1860, as corrected by the Board of Equalization, has been written up by the Clerk, and will be handed over to the Sheriff for collection of taxes on Monday next. The total valuation of taxable property in the county is $3,828,856—being an increase of $200,303 over the assessment of last year. ‘The following figures show the valuation of the several townships, as compared with the assessment of 1859: 1859. 1860, Nevada Township. .».++-$1,208,776—1,426,866 Grass Vall Gduattacaecsi< 650,901 — 862,385 Bodner ii!

The Assessor is now engagedin making a special assessment, which will bring the total valuation of the county, for this year, up to about four millions. upon the State by the re-election of Gwin. Individnal candidates on the Breckinridge ticket may be opposed to Gwin, but should the Breekinridge party have a majority oo joint ballot, he will assuredly be nominated in caucus, and even those opposed to bim will be compelled to support bim as the caucus nominee. As to the “Libel Bill,’’ which was a sort of a supplement to the Bulkhead, we characterized itas we thought it deserved last winter, and have nothing to add toor take from what we said of itat thattime. It was passed on account of the gross and libellous attacks of some of the San Francisco papers upon the members of the Legislature who supported the Bulkhead, charging them with every species of corruptiou. The bill may have been intended as a check upoa libellous papers, but such would not have been Its practical effect bad it ever become a Jaw ; and although we have no excuse to offer for those who voted for the bill, we are not surprised that the men who were daily subjected to the most outrageous landers sbould be curried to unjustifiable lengths in retaliatian. We trust that the people of this county will not allow matters of trifling importance to overshadow the leading issues pending in the lection of members of the Legislature. Moont Ono.—We learn that the Black Hawk Nate WL a ee Company, who have been engaged for the past three months in running a tunnel in the Mount Oro wining district, got through the rim rock last week. As they struck into the gravel the water came out in such quantities that the workmen were compelled for the time being to leave the tunnel, The rock where they got through, was pitching atan angle of about forty-five degrees, too steep to expect to find any gold, and thus far they have only ascertained that there is a deep channel in the bill. The company propose prospecting their claims by running an incline in the bed-rock; and, if the prospect is favorable, will run another tunnel on a lower level. Tus Prosecr oy tux Kyiauts Suown Ur.— The famous pronunciamente to the “Knights of the Golden Circle,” issued by Gen. Brickly, their commander, setting forth a programme for the occupation of Mexico, is shown up by the Galveston (Texas) Civilian. According to that paper, Gen. Brickly’s averment that the people of Texas are enthusiasticlly in favor of the movement, and had subscribed $800,000 in its aid, is all bosh. It eays the people of Texas manifest no interest in the movement, and have not the ability, even if they bad the desire, to feed the adventurers who may enter upon it; and that already parties claiming to belong tothe Order bave been arrested for appropriating the property of others to supply their own necessities, and the prospects of others of the Knights who may come is still worse. If accounts be true, Geo, Brickly bas been denounced as a humbug in the South, and occupies the position of a commander without men, 8. G. Exuiorr,—The Jourual of last Friday contains a ‘fling at Mr. S. G. Elliott. who propoees to make a survey fora railroad through’ the Henness Pass, stating that his reputation in money matters is no better than it should he, and refers to Mr. G. W. Welch, of this city for further particulars. We know nothing as fo any contracts between Mr. Welch and Mr. Elliott; but so far as making surveys are con eerned we have reason to believe that Mr. E. will faithfully perform all bis engagements, In taking the survey from Nevada to Auburn, he performed much more labor than was agreed upon for the amount that was paid him. Tus Manenires.—This people who have been the vietims of the late horrible butcheries in Syria, are a sect of native Christians, followers of a monk called Maron, who lived in the sixth century, Iu 1215 they effected a union with the Church of Rome, from which they never widely differed, though their apiritual head is called the Patriarch of Antioch, instead of Bisbop. Itisno new thing for the Druses to make war againat the Maronites, as a feud has existed for eeveral centuries between the two races. The Druses are a fanatical, warlike race of Mabomedans, and the late attacks upon the Maronites were but the commencement of a general movement to extripate all Christians in Syria, Already othera besides the Maronites have been involved in the terrible effects of this fanaticiem, and uoless it is soon stopped the aim of the fanatics will be accomplished. Tur “Conservative Vors or Nevapa.’’—The Marysville Appeal has several times predicted that the “conservative vote’’ of Nevada county, which twice elected “Honest Ned Burton’’ to the Senate, will go in a body for Lincoln. The editor of the Appeal onght to know that Burton was elected both times by the combined votes of the three parties that are now supporting Bell, Breckinridge and Lincolo, Almost every man in the county who voted against Burton will this year go for Douglas; while the vote that went for him will be divided among the other three candidates. Census or Cativornia.—The census marshals are required by Jaw to fle copies of their schedules in the Clerke’ offices of thvir respective counties, and as the work was to have been completed by the 15th of August, we presume the returns have before this been filed with the proper officer in every county of the State. If the papers in different sections of the State would pub sh the census returosof their reepective counties, we might in a few weeks as certain the correct population of California. Unless this is done we shall have to wait until the returns are received from Washington, which will be several months hence. Avrora Boreauis.—There was a spleudid display of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, last Thursday evening. Soon after dark, the northern sky for a distance of thirty or forty degrees along the horizon, and extending up one-third of tho way to the zenith, assumed a reddish hue, while streaks of light appeared and disappeared in rapid succession, The exhibition continued until about half past ten, and disappeared as the moon arose. Sromrixe.—Dispatches received by the lest Pony Express, stat2 that Judge Douglas addressed tome 6,000 people at Norfolk, Va., on the 26th ult,, and spoke at Petersburg to an immenge crowd on the evening of the 28th. The enthusiasm at both places was unbounded. He was to have spoken at Raleigh on the 30th and at Richmond “on the Sist. It is stated that arratigements have beeq made for Douglas,to stump the South, and Jobnson the North. ~ : Tae late Breckioridge Convention of this county stultified itself by adopting, among othera, the following resolution, not one word of which is true : Resolved, That Stephen A. Douglas received his pretended nomination from a factious and broken up Convention, and in direct violation of a twothird rule, which had been adopted for the government of that body, and which had never been rescinded, and by a body which could not count even a majority in their favor, if each delegate had been allowed to vote according to his own personal preference. To call the body that nominated Douglas a “factious and broken up Convention,’’ is equal to the juryman who beld out eolitary aud alone for two days against eleven stubborn and factious men, Tuk Sacramento Standard gives a list of the nine candidates whose names were presented to the Charleston Convention, for the Presidential nomination, and says that all of them, with the exception of Douglas, are now supporting Breckinridge. The Standard forgets to men tion, however, that Douglas received more than double the number of votes that were given in the Convention for all the other candidates; and when the people have an opportunity to be heard, it will be found that Douglas is supported by five times the number of voters that support. Breckinridge. While the politi. cians are supporting Breckinridge, the people are for Douglas. Tae Pors.—The Paris correspondent of the London 7imes says that the Pope has written a very melancholy letter to the Cardinal of France. He looks upon all as, lost, and al. though convinced that he will die by ‘the bullet of) an assassin, ‘he deolares that'he wil! me under no considerations aud for no price. This body met #t Sa¢ram , . last, and was in session two days. Every ‘ Legiela. ty in the State, with the exception of Fresno . Falagi i was represented. The candidates for Electors were nominated on Thursday. The first ballot reeulted as follows : Whole number of votes Necessary to a choice. .ese0«--Homphrey Griffith, of Yolo.. Richard P.

His throat hed been cut in the most horrible manner, the neck being severed more than half way through. There were appearances upon the edge of the bank ag if the body had first been laid there and afterwards placed There were no marks of blood, except a few drops at this place, and the probability is, that he was decoyed into some obscure place and butchered, and when all the blood had run out that was likely to come from the body, it was carried and thrown into the slough. The motive for this horrid deed is a mere matter of conjecture. He may have been murdered for his money, though it is not probable he had any large amount on his person. The officers have been active in endeavoring to obtain a clue which will lead to the detection of the murderers, a ene ere Geo. F. Price, of Siskiyou A J. 8. Pitzer, of Trinity,.,.,... Messrs.

But Mesers. Griffith and Hammond having been nominated on the firet ballot from the central portion of the State, and De la Guerra from the southern, it was deemed advisable to take the other candidate from the northern counties, The resolutions adapted by the Convention reiterate the well-established doctrine of the Democratic party, of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the States or Territories; repudiate and disavow the action of the California delegation at Charleston and Baltimore, in withdrawing from the Convention; and endorse the nomination of Douglas and Jobnson, as being made in accordance with the usages of the Democratic party. The followiug, which are among the resolutions adopted, relate more particularly to home affairs: Resolved, That wearein favor of a Homestead Bill, the establishment of a daily Overland Mail, the building of an Overland Telegraph and a Pacific Railroad; and that there fs no constitutional objection to Congress extending such aid as will insure the speedy construction Buastine AccipENnt.—Mr. John Murehead was seriously injured near Michigan Bluff, Sept. Ist, while engaged in blasting rock. He undertook to drill out a charge that had failed to explode, and ean the charge exploded on striking the first blow. His eyes were injured by particles of powder being driven into them, his face cuf and bruised by small pieces of rock, his left arm broken, and his left hand horribly mangled. His arm was amputated, the powder removed from his eyes, and his wounds dressed. He will not lose the use of his eyes.

Quartz Mitt Burnep.—We learn from the Marysville Appeal of yesterday, that the quartz mill of Mr. Fuller, at Yankee Hill, Butte county, was totally destroyed by fire on Monday last, causing a loss of at least $5,000. This is a case of peculiar hardship, as Mr. Fuller had just completed the mill by his own exertions, and was ready to begin crushing. Two other quartz mills have lately been burned in that portion of Butte county, most likely by the act of incendiaries. Resolved, That in the judgment of this Convention the title of the United States te the island of San Juan, on our northwest coast, is as good as it is to the District of Columbia; that the recent history of our territorial reltions with England in that quarter ma fear that the delays of diplomacy are That the man orthe Administration that will allow a grasping power a second time to overreach us on that cast will merit and receive the lasting indignation of the American people. Resolved, That excessive, wasteful and special legislation has been the bane of California, and has imposed upon the people a burden of taxation which is almost intolThat these evils should be corrected and the business of legislation be restored te the Democratic basis of infiexible opposition to a large public debt; to the granting of special privileges to the few at the expense of the many; the extravagant expenditure of the public moneys, that this much needed reform cannot be with ithout wrong to the State anda violation of the plain duty of the representative to the constituent, and cardinal principles of the Democation to the Treasurer, Mr. is just now absent from the country for his health. Savace Ficut.—Two men who had been farming a piece of land in partnership, in Rodeo valley, Contra Costa county, says the Gazette, had a dispute on the first inst., and from words proceeded to They commenced with their fists, but finally tapered off with pitchforks.

The other, named Wallace, fled forthwith and has not since of the true policy an Resolved, That it is imperatively necessary for the true interests of the State that the Legislature should use all constitutional power te increase the Public Sehool Fund and advance the interests of education, believing, as we do, that upon the education of the people depends the advancement and honor of the State. Resolved, That we cordially indorse the Administration as eminently calculated to of Governer Joho UG. Downey advance the true interests o} Resolved, That we heartily Democratic State Central Committee, presided over b ., and recognize their action in cailing this Conventivn as right, proper and Democratic. We learn that the delegates from every section of the State expressed the utmost confidence that the electoral vote of California will be thrown for the Democratic nominees. Should the position of parties remaia as at present up to the day of election, the indications are that Douglas and Jobnson will receive a plurality in nearly every county, The prospect throughout the State is truly encouraging. Democratic Strate CoMMITTEE.—At a meet. ing of the Democratic State Central Committee, held at Sacramento on Thursday evening last, Joseph P. Hoge was elected Chairman, Philip W.

The trail soon led them into th®hills near Salmén Creek, where the bear had entered a dense underbrush.

The father, who was.in advance, sprang aside, and the monster Brapp earth.

For our part, we spoke against the measure at the proper time, and were gratified at the Governors’ veto; but we were not of those who attributed dishonest and corrupt motives to those who supported it. The necessity of a Bulkhead to pro tect the harbor of San Franeisco, and the propriety of paesing the Parsons’ Bill, were matters about which men might honestly differ ; but bk Gov.

The assessment roll of Nevada county, for 1860, as corrected by the Board of Equalization, has been written up by the Clerk, and will be handed over to the Sheriff for collection of taxes on Monday next. The total valuation of taxable property in the county is $3,828,856—being an increase of $200,303 over the assessment of last year. ‘The following figures show the valuation of the several townships, as compared with the assessment of 1859: 1859. 1860, Nevada Township.. .».++-$1,208,776—1,426,866 Grass Vall Gduattacaecsi< 650,901 — 862,385 Bodner ii!

The Assessor is now engagedin making a special assessment, which will bring the total valuation of the county, for this year, up to about four millions. upon the State by the re-election of Gwin. Individnal candidates on the Breckinridge ticket may be opposed to Gwin, but should the Breekinridge party have a majority oo joint ballot, he will assuredly be nominated in caucus, and even those opposed to bim will be compelled to support bim as the caucus nominee. As to the “Libel Bill,’’ which was a sort of a supplement to the Bulkhead, we characterized itas we thought it deserved last winter, and have nothing to add toor take from what we said of itat thattime. It was passed on account of the gross and libellous attacks of some of the San Francisco papers upon the members of the Legislature who supported the Bulkhead, charging them with every species of corruptiou. The bill may have been intended as a check upoa libellous papers, but such would not have been Its practical effect bad it ever become a Jaw ; and although we have no excuse to offer for those who voted for the bill, we are not surprised that the men who were daily subjected to the most outrageous landers sbould be curried to unjustifiable lengths in retaliatian. We trust that the people of this county will not allow matters of trifling importance to overshadow the leading issues pending in the lection of members of the Legislature. Moont Ono.—We learn that the Black Hawk Nate WL a ee Company, who have been engaged for the past three months in running a tunnel in the Mount Oro wining district, got through the rim rock last week. As they struck into the gravel the water came out in such quantities that the workmen were compelled for the time being to leave the tunnel, The rock where they got through, was pitching atan angle of about forty-five degrees, too steep to expect to find any gold, and thus far they have only ascertained that there is a deep channel in the bill. The company propose prospecting their claims by running an incline in the bed-rock; and, if the prospect is favorable, will run another tunnel on a lower level. Tus Prosecr oy tux Kyiauts Suown Ur.— The famous pronunciamente to the “Knights of the Golden Circle,” issued by Gen. Brickly, their commander, setting forth a programme for the occupation of Mexico, is shown up by the Galveston (Texas) Civilian. According to that paper, Gen. Brickly’s averment that the people of Texas are enthusiasticlly in favor of the movement, and had subscribed $800,000 in its aid, is all bosh. It eays the people of Texas manifest no interest in the movement, and have not the ability, even if they bad the desire, to feed the adventurers who may enter upon it; and that already parties claiming to belong tothe Order bave been arrested for appropriating the property of others to supply their own necessities, and the prospects of others of the Knights who may come is still worse. If accounts be true, Geo, Brickly bas been denounced as a humbug in the South, and occupies the position of a commander without men, 8. G. Exuiorr,—The Jourual of last Friday contains a ‘fling at Mr. S. G. Elliott. who propoees to make a survey fora railroad through’ the Henness Pass, stating that his reputation in money matters is no better than it should he, and refers to Mr. G. W. Welch, of this city for further particulars. We know nothing as fo any contracts between Mr. Welch and Mr. Elliott; but so far as making surveys are con eerned we have reason to believe that Mr. E. will faithfully perform all bis engagements, In taking the survey from Nevada to Auburn, he performed much more labor than was agreed upon for the amount that was paid him. Tus Manenires.—This people who have been the vietims of the late horrible butcheries in Syria, are a sect of native Christians, followers of a monk called Maron, who lived in the sixth century, Iu 1215 they effected a union with the Church of Rome, from which they never widely differed, though their apiritual head is called the Patriarch of Antioch, instead of Bisbop. Itisno new thing for the Druses to make war againat the Maronites, as a feud has existed for eeveral centuries between the two races. The Druses are a fanatical, warlike race of Mabomedans, and the late attacks upon the Maronites were but the commencement of a general movement to extripate all Christians in Syria, Already othera besides the Maronites have been involved in the terrible effects of this fanaticiem, and uoless it is soon stopped the aim of the fanatics will be accomplished. Tur “Conservative Vors or Nevapa.’’—The Marysville Appeal has several times predicted that the “conservative vote’’ of Nevada county, which twice elected “Honest Ned Burton’’ to the Senate, will go in a body for Lincoln. The editor of the Appeal onght to know that Burton was elected both times by the combined votes of the three parties that are now supporting Bell, Breckinridge and Lincolo, Almost every man in the county who voted against Burton will this year go for Douglas; while the vote that went for him will be divided among the other three candidates. Census or Cativornia.—The census marshals are required by Jaw to fle copies of their schedules in the Clerke’ offices of thvir respective counties, and as the work was to have been completed by the 15th of August, we presume the returns have before this been filed with the proper officer in every county of the State. If the papers in different sections of the State would pub sh the census returosof their reepective counties, we might in a few weeks as certain the correct population of California. Unless this is done we shall have to wait until the returns are received from Washington, which will be several months hence. Avrora Boreauis.—There was a spleudid display of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, last Thursday evening. Soon after dark, the northern sky for a distance of thirty or forty degrees along the horizon, and extending up one-third of tho way to the zenith, assumed a reddish hue, while streaks of light appeared and disappeared in rapid succession, The exhibition continued until about half past ten, and disappeared as the moon arose. Sromrixe.—Dispatches received by the lest Pony Express, stat2 that Judge Douglas addressed tome 6,000 people at Norfolk, Va., on the 26th ult,, and spoke at Petersburg to an immenge crowd on the evening of the 28th. The enthusiasm at both places was unbounded. He was to have spoken at Raleigh on the 30th and at Richmond “on the Sist. It is stated that arratigements have beeq made for Douglas,to stump the South, and Jobnson the North. ~ : Tae late Breckioridge Convention of this county stultified itself by adopting, among othera, the following resolution, not one word of which is true : Resolved, That Stephen A. Douglas received his pretended nomination from a factious and broken up Convention, and in direct violation of a twothird rule, which had been adopted for the government of that body, and which had never been rescinded, and by a body which could not count even a majority in their favor, if each delegate had been allowed to vote according to his own personal preference. To call the body that nominated Douglas a “factious and broken up Convention,’’ is equal to the juryman who beld out eolitary aud alone for two days against eleven stubborn and factious men, Tuk Sacramento Standard gives a list of the nine candidates whose names were presented to the Charleston Convention, for the Presidential nomination, and says that all of them, with the exception of Douglas, are now supporting Breckinridge. The Standard forgets to men tion, however, that Douglas received more than double the number of votes that were given in the Convention for all the other candidates; and when the people have an opportunity to be heard, it will be found that Douglas is supported by five times the number of voters that support. Breckinridge. While the politi. cians are supporting Breckinridge, the people are for Douglas. Tae Pors.—The Paris correspondent of the London 7imes says that the Pope has written a very melancholy letter to the Cardinal of France. He looks upon all as, lost, and al. though convinced that he will die by ‘the bullet of) an assassin, ‘he deolares that'he wil! me under no considerations aud for no price. This body met #t Sa¢ram , . last, and was in session two days. Every ‘ Legiela. ty in the State, with the exception of Fresno . Falagi i was represented.

His throat hed been cut in the most horrible manner, the neck being severed more than half way through. There were appearances upon the edge of the bank ag if the body had first been laid there and afterwards placed There were no marks of blood, except a few drops at this place, and the probability is, that he was decoyed into some obscure place and butchered, and when all the blood had run out that was likely to come from the body, it was carried and thrown into the slough. The motive for this horrid deed is a mere matter of conjecture. He may have been murdered for his money, though it is not probable he had any large amount on his person. The officers have been active in endeavoring to obtain a clue which will lead to the detection of the murderers, a ene ere Geo. F. Price, of Siskiyou A J. 8. Pitzer, of Trinity,.,.,..... Messrs.

But Mesers. Griffith and Hammond having been nominated on the firet ballot from the central portion of the State, and De la Guerra from the southern, it was deemed advisable to take the other candidate from the northern counties, The resolutions adapted by the Convention reiterate the well-established doctrine of the Democratic party, of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the States or Territories; repudiate and disavow the action of the California delegation at Charleston and Baltimore, in withdrawing from the Convention; and endorse the nomination of Douglas and Jobnson, as being made in accordance with the usages of the Democratic party. The followiug, which are among the resolutions adopted, relate more particularly to home affairs: Resolved, That wearein favor of a Homestead Bill, the establishment of a daily Overland Mail, the building of an Overland Telegraph and a Pacific Railroad; and that there fs no constitutional objection to Congress extending such aid as will insure the speedy construction Buastine AccipENnt.—Mr. John Murehead was seriously injured near Michigan Bluff, Sept. Ist, while engaged in blasting rock. He undertook to drill out a charge that had failed to explode, and ean the charge exploded on striking the first blow. His eyes were injured by particles of powder being driven into them, his face cuf and bruised by small pieces of rock, his left arm broken, and his left hand horribly mangled. His arm was amputated, the powder removed from his eyes, and his wounds dressed. He will not lose the use of his eyes.

Elliott; Coroner—Joseph Platt; Public Administrator—Rufus Smith. Quartz Mitt Burnep.—We learn from the Marysville Appeal of yesterday, that the quartz mill of Mr. Fuller, at Yankee Hill, Butte county, was totally destroyed by fire on Monday last, causing a loss of at least $5,000. This is a case of peculiar hardship, as Mr. Fuller had just completed the mill by his own exertions, and was ready to begin crushing. Two other quartz mills have lately been burned in that portion of Butte county, most likely by the act of incendiaries. Resolved, That in the judgment of this Convention the title of the United States te the island of San Juan, on our northwest coast, is as good as it is to the District of Columbia; that the recent history of our territorial reltions with England in that quarter ma fear that the delays of diplomacy are That the man orthe Administration that will allow a grasping power a second time to overreach us on that cast will merit and receive the lasting indignation of the American people. Resolved, That excessive, wasteful and special legislation has been the bane of California, and has imposed upon the people a burden of taxation which is almost intolThat these evils should be corrected and the business of legislation be restored te the Democratic basis of infiexible opposition to a large public debt; to the granting of special privileges to the few at the expense of the many; the extravagant expenditure of the public moneys, that this much needed reform cannot be with ithout wrong to the State anda violation of the plain duty of the representative to the constituent, and cardinal principles of the Democation to the Treasurer, Mr. is just now absent from the country for his health. Savace Ficut.—Two men who had been farming a piece of land in partnership, in Rodeo valley, Contra Costa county, says the Gazette, had a dispute on the first inst., and from words proceeded to They commenced with their fists, but finally tapered off with pitchforks. One of them, whose name we did not learn, was severely wounded and now lies in a critical condition. The other, named Wallace, fled forthwith and has not since of the true policy an Resolved, That it is imperatively necessary for the true interests of the State that the Legislature should use all constitutional power te increase the Public Sehool Fund and advance the interests of education, believing, as we do, that upon the education of the people depends the advancement and honor of the State. Resolved, That we cordially indorse the Administration as eminently calculated to of Governer Joho UG. Downey advance the true interests o} Resolved, That we heartily Democratic State Central Committee, presided over b ., and recognize their action in cailing this Conventivn as right, proper and Democratic. We learn that the delegates from every section of the State expressed the utmost confidence that the electoral vote of California will be thrown for the Democratic nominees. Should the position of parties remaia as at present up to the day of election, the indications are that Douglas and Jobnson will receive a plurality in nearly every county, The prospect throughout the State is truly encouraging. Democratic Strate CoMMITTEE.—At a meet. ing of the Democratic State Central Committee, held at Sacramento on Thursday evening last, Joseph P. Hoge was elected Chairman, Philip W.

KILLED By A GrizzLy.—A young man named Wright, a resident of Tomales City, was fatally injured by a Grizzly bear, on the morning of August 27th. It appears, says the Petaluma Journal, that Wright having on the previous evening discovered the tracks of the bear near his place, proceeded on the followi: morning to raise a party of friends, and among the number his father, for the purpose of following and_ killing the bear. The trail soon led them into th®hills near Salmén Creek, where the bear had entered a dense underbrush. Young Wright and his father entered, and after proceeding a few rods, and on arriving at a slight opening, discovered the bear in the act of springing upon them. The father, who was.in advance, sprang aside, and the monster Brapp earth. In his fall the rifle of young Wright‘was accidentally discharged. ‘The bear seized him by the left thigh, inflicting four terrible wounds.
