The Toronto World profeésses to have clipped this acoount of the affair from the Times of London, England :â€" _ «We have just received intelligence of another terrible bear catastrophe in 4n our colony of Canada. . The sad affair occurred on Monday last in a small village called Toronto, a few miles from Winnipeg on the imain line Ot the Union Pacific Railway, and not far from the main station at Hudson‘s Bay. * It appears that a settler named John Shaw, who was President of the village Fire, Water and Gas Club, was on his way home from one of its meetâ€" ings, and when almost at his own door m huge grizzly bear sprang upon him from the adjoing forest. The snow at that time was about 8 feet deep and the thermometer 50 below zero, and the unfortunate man being on stowâ€" shoes and only armed with an ordinary shotgun was unable to cope with the savage beast, and consequently wae fearfuliy mangled. His cries, however, brought to the apot some halfâ€"breeds who lived in wigwams near the edge of the bush, and these with the assistance of the members ofthe Fire Club, who had also been attracted by the cries, soon dispatched the brute. _ The bear was found to measure 18 feet from snoot to tip of his tail. â€" The town has since the commencement of the winter been overâ€"run with bears and it is not safe to venture ont at night without a good rifie and a lantern. The unâ€" fortunate settJer was cartied to the hospital .at New York, the nearect town, and we are glad to say is doing as well as could be expected." For the first time in many years the British mint will not issue. any new money at Christmas. â€" The first issue of the coinage of Ktr%zln‘.dward Vil, will be as early in 1 as possible.

Itâ€"was proposed to fire the guns o# the backs of the mules that carried them, by which plan it was thought a great saving of time might be effected. A donkey was accordingly procured for the experiment, and a light gun strapâ€" ped firmly to a cradle resting on the packâ€"saddle, so that the muszzle of the weapon pointed over the donkey‘s tail. The gun was loaded, the donkey turnâ€" ed with his tail to an embankment,and the usaal preparations made for firing by means of a lapyard, and ‘ friction tube. At this juncture one of the comâ€" mittee suggested that this mode of firâ€" ing might derange the aim, by the Jork on pulling the lanyard, and it was arâ€" ranged to fire the gun by a piece of slowmatch tied to the vent. ‘This was done, and the match duly ignited.
