Lean, a young man of 20
j-----K-------j ...g in his field accompanied
by,a boy ot 12, named'Dunn, he looked
op and saw near hinti a large black bear,
of the wftfte-faced breed, (the most sav-
age of the black variety.) Having taken
bis gun with him to shoot partridges, he
chught it up and fired at tbe bj*ute, but
with little effect, as the bear immediately
began to close upon him. Bean fell back
slowly, loading his gun io the meantime,
vyhen, just as he got his charge in, bis
heal catfght in a twig, and he fell back-
wards, and bruin leapt upon him. His
situation now was a frightful one, but his
coolness did not forsake him, and he im-
mediately fired again, but with no visible
effect. The bear at once went to work,
seizing his left arm, biting through it and
lascerating it severely. While thus amus-
ing himself, he was tearing with his fore-
paws the clothes, and scratching the flesh
ob the young man’s breast. Having
dropped his arm, he opened bis huge
mouth to make a pounce at his face.—
Then it was that the young' man made
the d&h that saved his life. As the bear
opened his jaws, Bean thrust bis lacerated
arm down the brute’s throat, as far as des-
peration would enable him.

The case referred to was that of Yen-

plaintiffs claimed under a grant from the
Mexican government. The defendants
claimed under a tax title made in 1848,
for taxes due in‘1^47. • The petition was
trespass in ejectment in the usual form.
Plea general issue. The plaintiffs pro-
duced tbe original testimonio, and proved
their heirship, and there rested their case.
Defendant produced and proved the tax
,collector’s deed, apd read it to the jury.
Here plaintiffs counsel called the tax
collector as a witness to defeat the deed,
but instead of defeating it his testimony
went to support iu The cause was ar-
gued on this testimony by Lytle and

Will Wonders never Cease?
T F the following curea, performed alone by the nse of
1 BULL'S SARSAPARILLA, are not wonders, then we
acknowledge that we do not know the meaning of the
word. Read, and be convinced that facts are stranger than
' fiction:—
Lent P. O., Fulton Co.. Ky., Oct. 1,1851.
Dr. John Bull: Dear Sir—The two dozen of your Sarsa-
parilla, ordered in September, came to hand, and, in ac-
knowledging the receipt of* the same, I feel I would be
doing you injustice to withhold the following, among the
many of the instances that have come under my observa-
tion, during the last two years, of the great curative prop-
erties of yo^r Sarsaparilla:—
Mrs. Jeannette Martin, a highly respectable lady of my
neighborhood, aged sixty-five years, had been long afflicted
with a cancerous ulcer, which finally reduced her to so
helpless a condition, that she eou’.d not leave her bed. She
tried the best medical advice in our county, without relief,
and had given up ell hopes of a cure. At this stage of her
case, I persuaded her son to take a bottle of your Sarsapa-
rilla. lie did so. and in a short time returned, and pur-
chased another bottle, stating tbe first had had a decidedly
good effect. She continued to use it until, after the use of
five or six bottles, I had the pleasure of seeing the old lady
herself at church. She assured rue that she had almost
entirely recovered her health, and from her I received the
account of her disease, and in abrut the same words I give
it to you. This is but one of a number of cures under m/
observation—of very remarkable ones—performed by the
use of yonr Sarsaparilla, in my neighlxirhood. The de*
m.and for it has steadily increased since its introduction
here. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WM. R. DICKINSON, P. M.
Boru County, Ky., Oct. 6,1851.
Dr. Jotm Bull: Dear Sir—I have seen the most marvel-
lous cure of one of my patients, by your valuable medicine
—an old lady, who had been afflicted from her childhood
with scrofula, and various diseases of the brain. She was
dxty vears old. It had run into something like leprosy,
and she was the meet frightful creature my eye* ever
beheld. I called in Dr. McFadden, a very fine physician,
to consult with me in relation to her. We came to the *
conclusion that it wns out of our power to relieve her; but,
on going to my office, I tvccidentaily picked up one of yonr
Journals, when, on seeing the wonderful cures your Sarsa-
parilla had effected, I resolved to try the experiment in this
case. I took her two bottles of it, af^r taking which I
perceived a great change. I took her some more. She is
now taking the sixth bottle, and I consider her entirely
cured I take great pl assure in recomrfbuding your Sar-
saparilla to the afflicted public.
Yours respectfully,
.JOHN M. ROSS, M. D.
I, Thomas A. Ringo, of Graves Co.’, Ky., for the benefit
of mankind generally, do hereby certify, that on or about
the 18th day of October. 1847. 1 was attacked with a very
severe pain in the lower part of the abdomen, which lasted
but a tew minute*, aud moved into the left hip, and con-
tinued excec nngly painful io< about five days, during
Which time I hari a very light fever. At tbe end of that
time the fever ceased, and the pain abated for a day or two,
after which it again returned, and was much worse than
before. Daring all this time I was under medical treat-
ment. From a short time after I was taken, I was unable
to walk or sit up; the hip in which the pain was so bad
commenced rising, until some time in January, when it
burst, and a number of pieces of bone came out—as many
as twenty, at least. Some of the pieces were three-fouschs
of an inch long. Some time after this, a hard knot ap-
peared on my right hip, also one on my right wrist, and
one on my leg, below my knee. X continued to get weak
and worse, and pain made its appearance in my right
shoulder, and would move in my breast and stomach. At
ive me up to die. A physician then
. __j remedy, I had better use MR.
EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. After
the use of the second bottle, the knot on my wrist com-
menced getting soft. I opened it, and a day or two after,
a piece of bone came out. My wrist soon got well, and I
continued to gain strength. After I used the third bottle,
1 could get no more for some four weeks, after which time
I succeeded in getting three more bottles. After using ths
three last bottles, the knot on my hip became soft; it was
opened, and some corruption ran out, together with a
small piece of bone, and the sore soon got well, and the
knot entirely diappeared. The sere on my leg also opened,
and a piece of bone came out. I continued the use of the
Sarsaparilla until I used twelve bottles, and am now
entirely well, and able to do daily labor. It may seem '
strange to some, but I will here state that, during the
summer of 1849,1 coughed np three pieces of bone, which
ean now be seen at the residence of my uncle. Thoe. Neal,
where I now Use, and if any pernios doubt this statement,

Can the reader believe, sfter reading the description of
the above numerous cures, that -.hsue r "“ '
beings, suffering with disease, that fl
Sarsaparilla a trial. It is indeed hard
ertheless, it is too true. What kind of
take to convince the few remaining dial
medicine will do more even than u pn
eoflld produce another and another en r
medicine; but if tbs eases published above will not "eon-
vice the sceptical, it is useless to produce any more, and,
indeed, it would cost a fortune to publish the many eerti-
L fieatre that have been showered on Dr. Bull. The largest
mammoth sheet in America would not contain even the
names of those cured, let alone full statements of their
eases.
This medicine, when us*d according te directions, will
cure, without fail :—
Scrofula or King's Evil, Cancers, Tumors, Eruptions of
the Skin. Erysipelas. Chronic Sore Eyes, Ringworm or

L. S. COMSTOCK, New York: .
Dear Sir;—Twelve months ago I bought a half
dollar box of your Pain Extractor, and a neighbor
had a negro woman that was burnt on her foot, 1
years ago, that every month would break out.and
run, so that she was an entire cripple—He eent to me
for my box of salve- I let him have it—He applied
it, and it has made a perfect cure, ao that she ia now
a hand, sound and well; and the Judge says be
will always keep the salve on hand—I have tried
ihe salve in my family, and find it good. I would
not be without it for any price in the world—I have
been the cause of several of my neighbors trying it,
and all that have tried it are well satisfied with it,
and say they wiil not be without it. A neighbor of
mine by the name of O. L. Hillebrand, from Li.
berty county, Eastern Texas, first told me about it,
and 1 am well satisfied with it.

when or where they have been, more or
less, disturbed otf altered by ancient vol-
canic or voIcanic^Zi^e action; by the in-
trusion, for exahiple, into cracks and
hollows, of vein^ and masses of serpen-
tine, granite, syenite, and other igneous
rocks, in a melted or semi-fluid state.
2. That among these primary stratified
rocks a subdivision, to which tbe name of
Silurian was givdh by Sir Roderick Mur-
chison, has hitherto, as a whole, proved
by far the richest in this kind of mineral
wealth ; though ihe slate rocks below,
and the sandstones and limestones above,
in favorable circumstances, may be
equally gold-bearing.
3. That the drifted sands and gravels,
in which gold-washing is profitable^ occur
only in the proximity, more or less near,
of such ancient and altered (metamorphic)
rocks. They are, in fact, the fragments
of such rocks broken up< pounded, and
borne to their present sites by natural
causes, operating long years ago,
similar in kind to those which now de-
grade and carry away to lower levels,
the crumbling particles still torn off from
our hardest mountains by the ceaseless
tooth of time.
Among geologists it is at present re-
ceived as an established fact, that the pri-
mary are the only great repositories of
native gold, but there are no known laws,
either physical orichemical, by which the
almost exclusive- presence of gold in
these ancient rocks can be accounted for.

Tax Titles^—We learn by the Vic-
nean now called upon the lad to come ; a sun was meu i
and take from his pocket a jack knife and District Court of V ictoria county
open it. The boy was a fitting com- ^^ekinvolvin MH I* I
panion for this brave young mao. He sa,ne 'y.as sus4ained—particulars not
marched up to tbe work boldly. But "lven* Wilt the ^Advocate publish the
before he could get at the pocket, he had ^c.ts °.Clhe.case here’s a IarSe amount
to crowd the bear’s bead over to get at it, |
tbe beast meantime not being at all easy
with so huge a mouthful in his throat.—
Having got the knife, Bean, with bis un-
trammelled band, cut the bear’s throat
from ear to ear, killing him stone-dead
while lying on his body !
He then drew the beast off, notified
his friends, had bis wounds dressed, and
is now comfortable. It was judged the
bear weighed nearly four hundred pounds.
One of his paws, which our informant
saw, weighed two pounds eleven ounces.
