BARGAINS —AT— -oct3l PEASE OLD STAND. 3m THE TRAPPER TRAPPED , % lie Tries to Catch a Bear and is Himself Caught. [From the Virginia, Nevada, Chronicle.] A party of hunters from this city, who have just returned from an expe-' dition into the Sierra Nevada, about forty miles from town, relate the fol lowing remarkable incident: On last Thursday afternoon, about 3 o’clock, two of the party were on the trail of a die: - , which led them into a remote ravine in the fastnesses of the moun tains, into which they had not before veil turned. The snow being about two feet deep, and tne walking very heavy, they became discouraged, and losing all hope of ovirt dung Lite deer, which they had wounded, they aban doned the pursuit. On their return one of them discharged his gun at a hare, and soon afier a faint halloo was heard at some distance to the right, as if from someone in distress. Un certain whether they were not mista ken, and had not been deceived by ihe whistling of the wind, they shout ed aloud, when the cry was repeated. As night would soeli com3 on, they held a consultation, and were about proceeding to their camp, three cr lour miles away, concluding that the noise w as made by wandering Indians or came from a party of woo i chop pers. They Stained on, but soon a prolonged and mournful howl was borne down by the wind and again reached their ears. Tut y stand at each other a moment, and then by a simul taneous impulse, turned in the direc tion from w hich the sound proceeded They went on for some distance, floundering through the snow down a precipitous descent which led them into a gloomy canyon. As they drew nearer, ihe voice of a human being could be distinctly heard ca ling for relief. They answered that aid was approao ing. The man’s yells of mis ery changed to cries of joy, and the'’ could hear him tit intervals shouting, “For God’s s lie don’t go away and leave me !” “Gome and get me out!” “I am caught and,starving !” 'Still thc-y could see nothing. Rut, guided by the man’s cries and cheering ldm with hopeful answers as they advanced, they pushed forward and at lust dis cerned what appeared to be a small cabin built oi heavy logs, without windows or doors. The snow had drifted against one side of the hut, nearly as high as the roof, ami, as they could see no euterauco, they went around to the other side As soon as tlio occupant saw them lie uttered ex clamations of the greatest joy, and ex plained his situation iu a few words, by suiting that he had built, a bear trap, and hail caught himself in it five days before. The door was made of heavy logs, and was so arranged as to slip down into its place from above. They tried to lift it up, but failed. Finally, by means of a stick of timber which lay near by, they pried it up sufficiently for the prisoner to crawl beneath. He appeared more dead limn alive, but by the judicious use ol a flask of brandy, they were able to <.et him to their camp about dark, w heie their companions had a blazing tire awaiting their return. The hall famished man ate ravenously. He was supplied with plenty ol hot coffee and smoked a pipe, si 1 ter which his strength somewhat revived, and he gave the following account of how lie got into the situation in which he was found, lie said his name was Thomas Way, and that lie had en gaged m chopping wood in the moun tains during the summer. Since the first snowlall, about a month ago, be had frequently noticed tracks of bears among tLe pine trees, and had often tried to get a shot at them, but with out success. At last the itlea struck him to build a pen such as lie had of ten seen grizzly bears caught in Lake county, California, where he used to live. He explauncd that the bear trap is made by. building a small square bouse of heavy hewed logs, and convering it with a strong roof. The door is of heavy logs also, and shoes up and down in ttie groves. When it is up there is an open en trance about five high and four feet wide. A sheep is killed and hung up nisioe ol the pen attached to a rope, which is connected with a trigger, so that when the bear enters ami seizes the mutton, the door falls and*he is caged. Way went to work and com pleted Lis trap to his satisfaction, and intended to bait it the same night Having a curiosity to see how it would \ioik, he went in and pulled the l'opi slightly, wLeu the door fell down. He attempted to raise it, blit was horrur s rickeu, and bis hair stood on end when he found that he was tumble to nudge it an inch. He worked and struggled, but the heavy weight re fused to move. The peu worked on ly too successfully, and he was caught in his own trap. He yelled, shouted, , called for help, but knowing that he' $2.50 A YEAR. was miles from a human habitation and in a savage locality where few persons ventured, he sat down in blank despair. He spent that night in agony and got but little sleep. It commenced to snow, but fortunately Iho had a heavy blanket overcoat which kept him comparatively com fortable. The next morning he com menced shouting again until his throat was sore, but was only answer ed by the bowlings cf the tempest. He had set his gun against a stump outside and longed to get at it, that he might fire it off and attract some body’s attention. He soon began to get hungry. His thurst he quenched oy thrusting his baud through ihe chinks between the logs and raking up snow and eating it. Thus day af ter day elapsed, during which his mental sufferings were terrible. “I tell you, men,” said he, “I thought cl everythii g I had done in all my life from the time I was a boy six years old.” At last a brilliant idea struck him. He had matches and would burn his way out. With the heel of Liis boot he would kick and grind a log until he had accumu lated a quantity of dust and splinter?, which lm would light with a match and blow the fire with his hat qntil lie had burned a hole large enough to crawl out. All the day previous to that on which he was discovered he was thus employed,but on the trial tjie scheme would not work. The wood refused to burn, and ho again lay down to die. That day passed, and the next day he had abandoned all hope and was calculating how long it would take a strong healthy man to die of starvation. He was iu a state of abject stupor, when he heard the report of a gun. He was in doubt whether it was not the effect of his imagination, but he hallowed with all his might and kept on shouting. When Lis cries were auswered he was almost delerious with joy. As the voices approached, his visions of ap proaching death fled away and the realities of life came back like a flood. He was profuse in his gratitude to his deliverers, but declared his intention of getting out of the Sierra Nevadas us soon as possible and abandoning bear hunting. He said that he had had most too'close a call, and didn’t want tiny more of it iu his. morning he left for the camp of seme wood choppers, who were, no doubt, at a loss to account for his long ab sence. Authors'and Printers, N. P. Willis set a high value on a practical knowledge of printing for authors. lie was himself one of tbe brotherhood, and speaks of tli6 sub ject as follows: “If there were an apprenticeship to authorship, it would consist in the author’s spending a year at the case. Not alone to learn the importance of clear penmanship, of bow to prepare copy and become familiar with the signs, marks and abbreviations used in proof reading, though these are matters an acquaintance with which would save much time aud vexation, and prevent serious blunders. The chi if advantages would be to tbe au thor himself. There is no such effectu al analysis as the process of type-setting. As he ttikes up letter by letter, of a long or complex sentence, the com positor becomes most critically aware if where the sentence might have been shortened to save his labor. He detects repetitious, becomes impatient of redundancies, recognizes the care less or inappropriate use of exple tives, and soon puts an admiring value on clearness and brevity. We venture to say that it would alter the whole character of American literature, if authors were compelled, before legal ly receiving a copyright, to have given one year to labor tit the compcsitcr’s case. We have said nothing of the nice art of puntuation, which is also acquired iu the printing office, and by which a style is made as much more tasteful as champagne by effer vescing.” After Delinquents. —The Colum bus Enquirer says: We have lost pa tience with many of our Weekly sub scribers. All tacit'y agreed to pay us by this time, but few have kept t heir word. Now ; we hold it is down tight dishonesty to go on taking this paper withouta thought of paying us. We have grown weary of asking for our own. In God’s name pay up, aud step the paper, if you can’t spare enough from your whiskey and tobac co, to continue it; but pay what you owe, if you ever mean to. An Awktvard Question.— “Pa,” who is “Many Voters'?” asked a young hopeful of his sire. “Don’t know him, mv son. Why ? “Cos, I saw you -ignin’ his name to that paper the other night asking you to run for the Legislature.” “Sb-h-li, my 6on. Here is a nickle : go and get some candy.’
