GREAT excitement was caused at New Village, about three miles from Summerside, the other day, where two young sports were attacked by a huge monster of a bear. They were driving along in their carriage when chancing to stop and look arouad for some game to shoot, Mrs. Bruin made her eppear- ance, springiug out of a thicket and jumping upon the fence, where she commenced tearing the bark off the poles at a vicious rate. After taking a look at our young friends who were greatly alarmed, she disappeared in the woods again. No doubt she had cubs thereabout.

Tue Methodist Choir of this city, under the tuition and direction of Prof. Friese, is undoubtedly manifesting great improvement in its style of singing. This is noted not only by the people of Charlottetown, but also by strangers visiting here, among whom we may mention a gentleman of considerable musical experience and ability from St. John, N. B., who recently had an opportunity of hearing the Choir singing, and who stated that its performance was superior to that of any Choir in St. John: and intimated thatthe Professor’s services would probably be solicited in the latter city.

Tue Militia went out to camp this after- noon, at Milton. The camping companies are as follows:~Charlottetown Engineers, (cvehead Co., Little York Co., Hunter River Co., Alberton Co., and Souris Co. There will also be parts of other companies present, and in all there will be about two hundred men The camp will be under charge of Brigade Major Freeland. The Band of the 82nd Bat- talion will play on the grounds every evening. This is the first time the Island militia have had the privilege of going into camp, and we trust that the advantages they are lilely to reap by so doing will requite them well for their trouble.

Yor some time past the I. C. R. authorities have been missing freight at Campbellton. The pclice inspector put a man on the watch, and on ‘Suesday last a young fellow employed in the yard, named O'Hara, was seen going into the freight shed and stealing a pair of boots-—part of a consigament for a merchant of Campbellton. He conveyed them to the ice-house, and after night took them to his boarding house. On Thursday Police Inspec- tor Sketlington took him into custody, and on searching his house found Florida water, pocket handkerchiefs, and stolen boots, and other articles in the ice-house that he was in the habit of going to, besides broken cases of gin, empty bottles, ete. The investigation is proceeding at Campbellton.

Recent Deata.—The death is announced of Mr. James H. Bartlett, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, employes of the Intercolonial Railway. Mr. Bartlett was the second man appointed conductor on the Provincial Rail- way, the appointment of a man named Hannan proceeded his. Tne Provincial Government sent him to the United States to learn a business which, at the time of his appoint- ment, was entis®ly new here. He was ap
ointed on the road between Shediac and ieee or “the Bend’ as it was then termed, which was the first portion of the road constructed; and as the line was extend- ed his jurisdiction extended. He has been in the railway service continuously for over a quarter a century, and although age has for a long time prevented him from doing conduc- tor’s duty, he has, until within a short period, been able to do indoor work at the St. John station. Mr. Bartlett was a much esteemed and worthy citizen.—St. John Globe.

Last nigut there was another of those un- accountable fires at the reer of Mr. Dismal’s house in Palmer’s Lane. For the last fort- night this man has been persecuted in a most outrageous manner, h’s outbuildings a continually set on fire to his great loss an annoyasce. Saturday night week his new barn which he had just filled with hay was burned to the ground, Since then, sundry attempts have been made to burn his old barn, which attempts succeeded only too well last night. About half-past seven the alarm rang, and it was soon discovered that the fire was in the vicinity of Dismal’s house. The miscreant who started it had soaked with kerosene oil the horse’s stall, indeed it is said and generally believed, that the poor horse itself had also been well covered with the oil, before the fatal match was applied. The unfortunate animal, seffering the agony of being burned alive, was, at length, mercifully killed by some one knocking it on the he The loss of his horse takes away from poor Dismal the only means he had of obtaining a living. How these tires originated, and who is their spite- ful and rascally author, is not at present known. Should he be discovered, there is no punishment that can be meted out to him severe enough.
