Dreadful Occurence—A Boy Eaten up by a Bear near Detroit. {From the Detroit Free Press, of Aug. 7th.) We have succeeded. with some difficulty, in learning the particulars of a shocking eccurrence, which took place on the Hamtramck marshes on last Tuesday, in which a boy eleven years old, was actually eaten up alive Ly a bear, within sight of the city. The circumstances of the case are as follows; A mau named Joseph Rademacher, a German, living on Macomb street. between Rivard and Russel. went out on Tuesday morning, in company with @ little brother, to pick rasberrics, They carried their dinners w.th them, ard went some five or six miles out, before commeuciag their day's work. Rademacly deported his dinner basket NEWS ITEMS. Fre Marsig,—The San Francisco Herald makes the following note of some speo mens of California marble on exhibition at the Fair of the Mechanics’ Institute, in that city: The attention of the visitor is particularly arrested by the exhibition of specimens of Calitornia marble from Suisun Valley, Solano county. It is of christul zd formation, known by the geologica) same of Oriental Alabaster, and is deetruetible by time, It ie asserted ree ago quarries of this charactoe south of Europe, and that there #but coe qourry now worked in the world, aod that » io Russa, The rock is very trans. lucent, and porvonsof it, when cut thin aud polished have all the beauties of tortoise shell ; raid te b that kame ¢ ter were we: ic and coat on the grourd, aid employed bunself . some parte again have the form and cearacter for some time iu pick ig veicies, Waeu iis atof stalactite. From the same quarry, or near tention being attracted by a noise, he looked . by, the finest quality of white marble, having large she bear, accompanied by three cubs, engaged in devouring his d nuer, Lt was but the and hurry, with his younger brother, away ot. He saw two boys not far from them to the post and endcavorcd to draw therm up in line—a task of some little d.ficulty, owing to the fractiousness of Pryor, who caused several breakings away. When the flag was dropped Viscount rushed to the front, bat on . . reaching the grand stand, Riseber. who was . pulling hard, went up to him—Viscount, Mon. arque, Gunboat, Fisherman and Melissa clus: . tering well up, the American horses bringing . up the rear. On turning out of the straight, . however. Prioress. emerged from the rack and . went away with a lead of halfa dozen lengths . —Florin, Gunboat, Monarque, Fisherman, Vis. count and Arsenal running in a body next. On rounding the turn towards the clump, . Prioress ran wide, and Gunboat was left in pos. . session of the lead, which he carricd on into the . dip. On rising into sight, Riseber and Prioress . were seen in close company with Gunboat, fol. lowed by Melissa. Florin, Monarque, Fisherman . and Arsenal, They ran thus to the last turn, . and on descending the hill by the balf-mle post . Gunboat slipped and fell,and Arsenal jamped him. Fordham, however, kept his seat, but Kestrel and Gemma di Vergy both came tu the ground. The lamentable occurrence year immediately rushed upon the minds of the spectators, and the most painful interest was excited, All fears were now dispelled. as the jockeys were seen to scramble up uninjured. After this accident, Riseber was left with a slight lead. . with Monargue at his quarters, and Prioress . next, with Pryor well up, the American horses going particularly strong and well, At the half distance, Monarque went up to Riseber, and Prioress gave way to Fisherman. The race virtually reduced toa mateh between the first two, Monaaque winning by ahead, three lengths between the second and third. Anton, who met with a d'sappoint. ment by the aceident mentioned above. was beaten about three lengths from Fisherman, . Prioress was a bad fifth, Pryor and Melissa were . sixth and seventh. the others were pulled up. . mn ten Tue Giant or THe Wor.p—Mitus Darpex.— Some weeks ago we gave a few facts in regard . to the weight and dimentions of this extraordi. nary man, and promised our readers, through the courtesy ofa friend in Henderson county, . further items of interest. The friend we refer. red to was the Rev. John Brooks, whose veracity, we believe, bas never been questioned by any one. He writes as follows: of last . carly annals of our history, oN . ; , . seend d the “Mr Darden was bora in North Carolina, in river, and gone toward the foot of the cataract. . the year 1798, and departed this lite at bis res-. Suddenly an immense overhanging rock, weigh. him when he left the spot. but sa.d nothing to them, Before himself and brother bad got a safe distance they heard terrible screams in the accelerate their pace, and place a greater distauce between them aod danger, They were soon overtaken by one of the boys, who came rushing up bewildered with fright, screaming that the bear was eating up hisbrother, Rademacher received this inteligence in utter dismay, and took to his heels with a will, followed by the two boys, and deserting the sufferer to his fute. The cowardly race soon brought them to the city, when they spread the alarm and a large party was quickly found for the rescue, which proceeded to the scene of the disaster, accompanied by Rademacher and the father of the unfortunate boy. A long search resnltcd in finding the remains of the boy, the bear baving eaten up abont half of the corpse, and buried the rest for a future meal, Remnants of his clothes were scattered around, together with tademacher’s coat, torn to pieces, A general bunt was commenced with a view of finding the . bear, which has been continued up to the present time without success, The boy was Irish or German, we are not certain which. His name also we have been unable to learn, but shall ascertain to-day, thirteen, stated that they almost stambled over the hear before they saw him at all, wheu she suddenly turned with a savage growl and seized the one nearest. A word of warning from Rademacher when he eommenced his flight would have saved the boy, but he was too frightened to do anything but ran, The bear was a large and powerful one, and must have been excited to great hunger to commit co bold adeed. The contemplation of sich an occurrence, happening almost within the mits ofa city of 70.000 inhabitants, is “ckening and terrible, Wild bears have become a rarity in most parts of the State, yet we are visited inthe very metropelis by one that perpetrates a deed that belongs only to the Tt is to be hoped that sueh visits will be rare in future.

Visit oF NaPoLeON AND Evorste To EXGLann —-Napoleon +nd Eugenie, accompanied by Count Walewski and a small suit, arrived at Osborne, Isle of Wight, on a visit to Queen Victoria, on) Thursday morning. the Gib of Aug., and.were received with a royal salute from the fleet at Spithead. The visit was strictly a private one, and would not, it was believed, extend beyond the Isle of Wight and probably Portsmouth Navy Yard. A most vigilant survillance was kept up in the neighborhood of Osborne and all over the island, by a strong force of police from London and Paris, and boats were stationed off the beach at Osborne to prevent the approach of any on shore or strange boate, It was thought the imperial party would return to France on Monday the 1tk it is feared fatally, The others are a gentleman who was stopping at the Cataract House, whose about fourteen years of age, who resides in the village of Niagara, This boy had bis leg broken, and the gentleman at the Cataract House, we understand, both a leg and arm broken. The Buffalo Commercial says: There had been some indicatio ’# of a caving off at this point during the summer; and occasional masses of rock have fallen. During the last two years the rock has fallen off so much that the carriage road around the island has been carried back some forty feet from its original position at this point. For several years past, bits of rock have aecasionally crumbled from the cliffe between the Cave of the Winds and the Horse-shoe, ro that placards are posted at the foot of the Biddle Stair-ease warning visitors to beware. Notwithstanding this, incautions explorers generally clamber along the shelf, alwaye running @ great risk. The height of the cliff at this point is about 150 fret, that several of the Droprr Gg Ore —Tt ee om Republican orga s v York 1 tb are backsliding and returnog to their old as. . sociations, The Troy Daily Times, a Republi can paper, says: “Tne Buffalo Republic, which rendered efficient service to the cause of Fremont during return te the Democratic rauks, The New York Times and Buffalo Express may also be considered «#3 lost to the Republican party. Other influential journals will doubtless follow The fact is one which admits of no disthat the strength of the Republ.can party in this State is by no means equal to that of last fall.” A New Cerrat.—We saw a few days since. a epecimen of a new cereal grown in this county, We could not get a description of the stalk, or an account of its origin. and, with nothing to guide us beside the ripened grain, we could uot class it, It appeared to be the fruit of a rank grass, stronger and larger than wheat, but more light and fragile than Indian corn. The ear or cluster of grain formed on the summit of the stalk, was about three and a balf inches in length, about four inches in circumference, and of an irregular, oblong shape. The grains, of which there were several hundred in the cluster, resembled in size and form the grain of the common broom corn. were compactly set, without an outer geveral covering, each grain baving a delicate husk covering about half its bulk. The grain was harder thao wheat, rather brittle, and when broken, gave a taste undi-tinguisbable from Indian corn. From the limited knowledge of the nature and babite of the plant to be gathered from a cursory examination of this isolated specimen, we incline to the opinion that it may become @ prolific and valuable article of agriculture. The “head” or cluster that we saw will yield about as much in weight and volume as fifteen or twenty ordinary heads of wheat. We shall learn more about this interesting specimen in a few days.—S. J.

Blair was not injured; be immed ately left tor his ranch, Casey is at the Maguola Hotel, attended by Drs, Laugden aud Noreorn, The cause of the dithculty is rather mixed up, being some remarks made by ove about the other’s connection with a young lady, the frieads of each charging the other witu the remarks, No hopes of Casey’s recovery are entertained by his Physiciaus. Tax Cuinese or Cotvmpra.—The Tuolumne Courier says that the late calamity in Coluinbia is directly attributable to the Chinese, aud says: It is well known, that the greater portiou of those beretofore living iu this place, were aa ipdolent set, lying about, half stupitied with opium, and of no benefit to anybody, We are in favor of preventing them from making this their home. If they must remain in the country, let them build settlements of their own, Then if they fire their buildings the loss will be their own, and our citizens will not be the sufferers, asin this last case, W@ hope some action will be taken on the subj ct by our people, aud that they wll decide to refuse to Chinamen the privilege of living within our corporate limits.

Dreadful Occurence—A Boy Eaten up by a Bear near Detroit. {From the Detroit Free Press, of Aug. 7th.)

We have succeeded. with some difficulty, in learning the particulars of a shocking eccurrence, which took place on the Hamtramck marshes on last Tuesday, in which a boy eleven years old, was actually eaten up alive Ly a bear, within sight of the city. The circumstances of the case are as follows; A mau named Joseph Rademacher, a German, living on Macomb street. between Rivard and Russel. went out on Tuesday morning, in company with @ little brother, to pick rasberrics, They carried their dinners w.th them, ard went some five or six miles out, before commeuciag their day's work.

When the flag was dropped Viscount rushed to the front, bat on . . reaching the grand stand, Riseber. who was . pulling hard, went up to him—Viscount, Mon. arque, Gunboat, Fisherman and Melissa clus: . tering well up, the American horses bringing . up the rear. On turning out of the straight, . however. Prioress. emerged from the rack and . went away with a lead of halfa dozen lengths . —Florin, Gunboat, Monarque, Fisherman, Vis. count and Arsenal running in a body next. On rounding the turn towards the clump, . Prioress ran wide, and Gunboat was left in pos. . session of the lead, which he carricd on into the . dip. On rising into sight, Riseber and Prioress . were seen in close company with Gunboat, fol. lowed by Melissa. Florin, Monarque, Fisherman . and Arsenal, They ran thus to the last turn, . and on descending the hill by the balf-mle post . Gunboat slipped and fell,and Arsenal jamped him. Fordham, however, kept his seat, but Kestrel and Gemma di Vergy both came tu the ground. The lamentable occurrence year immediately rushed upon the minds of the spectators, and the most painful interest was excited, All fears were now dispelled. as the jockeys were seen to scramble up uninjured. After this accident, Riseber was left with a slight lead. . with Monargue at his quarters, and Prioress . next, with Pryor well up, the American horses going particularly strong and well, At the half distance, Monarque went up to Riseber, and Prioress gave way to Fisherman. The race virtually reduced toa mateh between the first two, Monaaque winning by ahead, three lengths between the second and third.

The cowardly race soon brought them to the city, when they spread the alarm and a large party was quickly found for the rescue, which proceeded to the scene of the disaster, accompanied by Rademacher and the father of the unfortunate boy. A long search resnltcd in finding the remains of the boy, the bear baving eaten up abont half of the corpse, and buried the rest for a future meal, Remnants of his clothes were scattered around, together with tademacher’s coat, torn to pieces, A general bunt was commenced with a view of finding the . bear, which has been continued up to the present time without success, The boy was Irish or German, we are not certain which.

A word of warning from Rademacher when he eommenced his flight would have saved the boy, but he was too frightened to do anything but ran, The bear was a large and powerful one, and must have been excited to great hunger to commit co bold adeed.

The visit was strictly a private one, and would not, it was believed, extend beyond the Isle of Wight and probably Portsmouth Navy Yard. A most vigilant survillance was kept up in the neighborhood of Osborne and all over the island, by a strong force of police from London and Paris, and boats were stationed off the beach at Osborne to prevent the approach of any on shore or strange boate, It was thought the imperial party would return to France on Monday the 1tk it is feared fatally, The others are a gentleman who was stopping at the Cataract House, whose about fourteen years of age, who resides in the village of Niagara, This boy had bis leg broken, and the gentleman at the Cataract House, we understand, both a leg and arm broken.

The ear or cluster of grain formed on the summit of the stalk, was about three and a balf inches in length, about four inches in circumference, and of an irregular, oblong shape. The grains, of which there were several hundred in the cluster, resembled in size and form the grain of the common broom corn. were compactly set, without an outer geveral covering, each grain baving a delicate husk covering about half its bulk. The grain was harder thao wheat, rather brittle, and when broken, gave a taste undi-tinguisbable from Indian corn. From the limited knowledge of the nature and babite of the plant to be gathered from a cursory examination of this isolated specimen, we incline to the opinion that it may become @ prolific and valuable article of agriculture. The “head” or cluster that we saw will yield about as much in weight and volume as fifteen or twenty ordinary heads of wheat. We shall learn more about this interesting specimen in a few days.—S. J.
