Alas! my hope was shot-lived. On reaching the antelope, the fierce monster made no halt. I glanced back; he was already past it, and closing rapidly upon my heels !
f am a swifiest. can I remember ; but what was my speed against such a competitor! I was only running myself out of breath. I should be less prepared for the desperate con- fict that must soon come off; better to turn, and at ounce face the foe!
I had _half-resolved myself—half. turned, in fact—when an object flashed before my eyes that dazzled them. In- advertently, I had run in the direction of the pond; I was now upon its shore, It was the sun gleaming from the water that dazzled me. The surface was calm as a mirror.
A new idea—a sort of wild hope— rushed instantaneously into my mind. It was the straw to the drowning man. The fierce brute was close behind me; another instant, and we must have grap- pled.
‘s Not yet, not yet,” thought I, ‘* I shall fight bim in the water—in the deep water. That may give me an advantage. Perhaps. there, the contest would be
more equal; perhaps I may escape by | diving!” | I sprang into the pond without a mo- ‘ment of hesitation. The water was knee- deep. I plunged onward, making for the centre; the spray rose around me; the pond deepeved as I advanced ; I was soon up to my waist.
I glanced around with anxious heart ; the bear was standing upon the edge. To my surprise and joy, I saw that he had halted, and seemed disinclined to follow me.

I watched his every movement. He had had risen once more apon his hind- quarters, and stood looking after me, but still apparently without any intention iof taking to the water !
After regarding me for some time, he fell back upon all fours, avd commenced runuing around the border of the pond,

There were not over two hundred paces between us, for the pond was only twice that in diameter. He could soon have reached me, had he felt so disposed ; but for some reasou or other, he seemed ‘disinclined to ‘ swim.”
Fer a full half hour he kept running back and forth along the shore Be- sides the apprehension in which his pre- ‘sence held me, my situation was far ‘from comfortable. Although there was a | warm sun overhead, the water was as cold as ice, and my teeth began to chatter like castanets. I knew not how long the scene was to last.

To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—From the number of articles and squibs in the papers lately reflecting on
| Montague and inhabitants, strangers would
be led to suppose that Montague was a resort for all that was bad and vicious, and even rivalled Leadville, Col., in wickedness. Now, the parties that send such trash for publication have not the in- terest of. Montague at heart ; and, I ven- ture the opinion, care very little for its true progress. Having lived at MOntegue for a goodly number of years, and watched its growth from a very small hamlet to a large and prosperous village--I might almost say a town-——I am safe in saying that there is nothing hke the drinking or rowdyism that there was ten years ago, notwithstanding the place has trebled itself within that time.
Its business men and mechanics are as a rule enterprising aod industrious, and will stand side by side with those of any other place in their several callings. The time has now come when most of its inhabit- ants consider they are far enough ad- vanced to govern themselves, and are pre- paring a petition to the Legislature fora 'Municipal Act of Incorporation. Already |two meetings for that purpose have been iheld, and a third is announced for Mon- iday next, the I6th. The inhabitants jstrongly object to having our rising town called the Bridge, and would thank all for the future to call the place Montague. With improved steam communication to Georgetown in the summer season, the place bids fair to become a good trade- centre.
Yours, &c., PROGRESS. Montague, Jan. 10, 1882.

Dear Six,-An examination of the | Kingston School, Lot 31, under the tuition of Mr. John C. “AcEachern, was held in the said Schoolhouse on Thursday, the 22nd ‘inst. The Trustees and annmber of the parents of the children were present. The Teacher examined the pupils in the various branches taught, being Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Spelling, History, Geography,

Geometry, English, French and Latin Grammar. Judging from the progress made by the pupils, Mr. McKachern
proves to be the right man in the right place. By giving the above a place in your valuable paper, you will greatly oblige One Wao Was PRESENT.
The following remarkable story is toid by an Erie brakesman :—During the heavy rush of freight last summer I had been on duty three days and nights, and was com- pletely jaded out. Between D>posit and Hancock our train broke in two, and, running together again, caused a wreck. I was sent back to flag the first appreaching train. After going what 1 considered a proper distance I sat down on the outside I was soon asleep with
