About four hours later Mr. Win. Lyle, who lives north of Bobcaygeon in the township of Verularn, went to the’ woods on his farm, accompanied by one of his dogs, to drive home the cows, and had not gone far when he heard ahead of him a noise that led him to infer that the dog had attacked a calf. Close to the spot were some pieces split from the heart of an elm tree that he had felled to make neck-yokes, etc.; and, snatching up one that was over a yard long, of considerable thickness and nearly square, he rushed forward, but had only taken a few steps when he almost ran against a big she-bear that was standing on her hind legs with one paw raised ready to strike. It was a crisis that called for prompt action, and Mr. Lyle, who is a tall, strong man, struck so quickly with his formidable weapon that the bear had not time to ward off the blow, and so furiously that she fell headlong to the ground. As she dropped, Mr. Lyle turned and ran towards home, while his opponent, upon whom the argmnentimi bnculiiium ap- peared to have a very discouraging effect, made off in the opposite direction, followed by two cubs, who could be heard, but not seen, as they scampcred through the underbrush after their dam. Mr. Lyle returned as soon as possible with his gun and two dogs, but by that time it was too dark to get through the woods, and he reluctantly abandoned the chase. The same evening, about 8 o’clock, Mr. Abbot, whose farm is north of Sandy Point, fired a charge of buckshot at a bear, but with what effect he could not learn, as it was too late to follow the trail. As Sandy Point and Sturgeon Point are only about two miles apart, the animal shot at by Mr. Abbot may been the one that so, narrowly escaped impalement on Mr. McIntyrc’s jack- knife; but probably it wasn’t, as bears appear to be very near-together this year. The Feiieloii Falls Gazette. Friday, Sept. 21st, 1894. Served Them Right. On Sunday last two Lindsay young men named Hall and O'Neill hired a skiff and rowed to Sturgeon Point, which they reached in the afternoon, and where they remained not much over half an hour. While on shore they drank, not wisely, of something that didn’t come out of a well, and by the time they returned to the landing place their powers of navigation were so oh- viously impaired that some boys who were there tried to dissuade them from leaving for home, but in vain:. They got into their boat with some difficulty and started, but had not gone more than a hundred yards when she upset and dumped them into about ten feet of water. The accident was witnessed“ by many persons on shore, and in a very short time Mr. Richard Hopkins and Ernest Ncclands reached the spot in a boat and rescued O’Neill, and V’Squirc McDonnell and his grandson, Lester Coultcr, in another boat, picked up Hall, who, being able to swim, was paddling around, but O'Neill, who could not swim, had thrown himself across the skiff,'which was submerged by his. weight.
