Bloody Fight between a Californian and j
a Grizzly Bear.
Last week a young man loft St. Andres
for a stroll over the hills, tak'hg with hint >
only n pistol and a knife, and in liU wander-'
ings came on arlarge grizzly hear, which im-!
mediately attacked him and after a short
struggle struck him to the ground, throwing;
him on his pistol side, thereby rendering it'
impossible to use that weapon in his defence.;
He was able to draw bis knife, which be us*
cd pietty freely on old bruin, and was short-;
Jy enabled to gain his feet, when ho pitched ;
so bravely into his savage assailant that the 1
grizzly hauled for a breathing spell. This
was also an advantage to the young man,
which he so successfully employed as to he
in abetter condition to continue the light.

lOR FEMALE INTREPIDITY.
' It was in the year 1832, townrds the
j close of November. A light. snow, mingled
' with sleet, was whirled about by the wind.
! and pierced through every crevice of a little
! road-side inn, situated between 'llorhherg
land Kottwell, on the frontier of theduchy of j
! Baden.
i Two travellers, diiven bv the., weather to J
! the shelter of this humble hosiery, were for
' getting their hunger and weariness in the J
. comforts of the hearty repast of smoked beef.1
I The hissing and roaring of a large stove |
contrasted favorably in the travellers' carsj
with the loud moaning of the north wind ;
without, and disposed tliein still more t<>
the enjoyment of tho good things within. 1
The innkeeper and his wife had for their j
only domestic, a young girl of Dnden, whom !

fulfilled all tho duties usually shared
by a large establishment of servants.
Teu o'clock struck, and the travellers' hav-1
ing finished their supper, drew nearer to the!
group that had collected round tho stove, j
I Father llotfkirck, the minister, their host, j
j and some neighbors who had entered by :
j chance. The conversation turned on the
| fearful and murderous events of which the!
j neighboring forest had been the.scene, and!
each one had his own story to toll, stirpassI
ing the rest in horror. Father Jlollfkirck
was among the foremost in terrifying his |
j audience be the different adventures, all more [
j or less tragical. The worthy father had <
just finished a horrible story of rohhers, cjuite
a ch-'f t/' iruvrc in its way. The scene ofi
the legend was a little more than a gun- :
shot from tho inn door ; it was a tradition,'
unfortunately; but an ancient gibbet, I
which still remained on the identical sp.?t,j
gave to the narration an air ufj;looinjrttfi|

damsel [>cvsisted, ami was at last

Krettel only requested that the inn' 4lwi
should bo left open until her leturu, aqpj taking
a piece of charcoal, to proMftftf the morrowthatsho
had really visitbd tre spot^he rapidly
walked toward the gibbet. When close
beside it, slio started, fancying she heard a
noise. However, after a moment of lufsita-'
tion, she stepped forward, ready to take flight
at tho least danger. The noise was renew-1
ed. Krcttel listened intently, and the sound !
of a horse's feet struck upon her car. Her'
terror prevented her at tirst from seeing how
near it was to her?that she object of fear i
was fastened to the gibbet itself. She took i
courage, darted forward and traced the cross.
At. the saino instant the repoit of a pistol)
showed her that she had been noticed. Bv \
? movement as switt as thought, *liounloos-j
fined the horse, leaped on the *:tddle, and Hrd
like lightning. She was pursued ; but, re- i
donbing her speed, she reached the inn yard,:
called (?nt to them toclosolhe g it*, and faintod
awav. When tho bravo girl recovered
froin her fright, she told her snquidngstorv,
and was warmly congratulated oft her courage
and presence of mind. All admired the
horse, which was of striking beauty. A small
jloathcrnvali.se was attached to the saddle;
but father llofi'fcirek woyld not Hiillef it. to
be opened, except in the presence of the 15nr-;
gom aster.
On tho morrow, which was Sunday the'
innkoejr-r, his wife rnd their g.io>ts, nil set
otffor the noighhuriiig town, where they in-1
tended, after tho service, to acquaint the liur- i
goiuaster with the last evening's adventures.
Krettcl, left sole guardian of the house, was;
advised 110M0 admit any one until her mis |
tcr's return. Many a young girl would
have trembled at being in Iter situation; but
this young servant maid, having seen the
parly disupjicAV, fearlessly ret about her
household duties, singing with a light heart
and a clear voice sonic pious hymji which her
kind mistress had taught her. ,
An hour ha<l scarcely passed, when there
came a knock on tho outer doo/. It was n
traveller on horseback, who askod leave to .
rest for a little while. KreUel at first refused

was well dressed and alone, so there was little
to feai from him. The stranger wished
j himself to take his horso to tho stable, and

miring the noble steed which lmd arrived
1 tho previous evening in a manner so unexpected.
While breakfasting he a^ked
I many questions about tbo inn and its ownl
ers?inquired whoso was tho horse that
j attracted his attention so much ; and in short,
; acted so successfully that the poor girl, inno-r
I cent of ail deceit, toid him of her late adven|
lure, and ended by confessing she was all
I alone. She instantly felt a vague sense of
having committed sonic imprudence, for the
stranger listened 10 her with singular ntten
lion, ami seemed to take a greater interest
than simple curiosity in what she was saying.
The breakfast was prolonged to the utmost
length. At last, after a few unimportant
<pie*li?m.?, tlie traveller desired the servant
girl to bring him a bottle of wine. lvrettel
rose to obey; but on reaching the cellar,
found that the stranger followed her, and
turuinX'nrouiid, she saw the glitter of a pitol
handle through his vest, ller presence
of miik^tfuiled her not at this critical moment.
When they had reached the foot of the stairs,
