Montgomery County (N. America) has last Auturan, been uncommonly infested with bears. About 250 have been killed within the circuit of eight or ten miles. The cause of this irruption, as it may be termed, is supposed to be the scarcity in the back parts of the state, of chesnuts and beech nuts, which compels the bears and squirrels to resort to the more southern and productive tracts. Instances have been known of a whole corn-field being stripped by these marauders in the course of a night. A singular instance of strength in a bear, occurred lately in the neighbourhood-A young one, nearly full grown, was taken in a steel trap of 21lbs. weight, to which was annexed an iron chain of 23lbs.-his hind leg was broken, not withstanding which, he dragged both trap and chain above two hundred yards, to a Jarge hemlock tree, up which he climed, until Charles Grant, Viscount de Vaux, of the chain became entangled in the branches, Elizabeth-street, Hans-square, in the parish and checked his progress. In the morning of St. Luke Chelsea, in the county of Midhe was traced to his retreat and shot, and it dlesex; for a machine which will shew the was found necessary to cut the tree down to latitude and longitude at sea, serving also for get possession of the body.-A panther of weighing any object, for measuring space, considerable size has likewise been seen, by or the course of a ship and time; showing and several country people, lately prowling in the keeping account upon dials and upon cosmovicinity of the town. A farmer, when in the graphical columns, which are part of such middle of a field, was alarmed by the approach machine; and also shewing the leeway of a of this unwelcome visitor; his only refuge ship; part of which machine may also be was the stump of a tree, on which he mount-applied to other useful purposes. Dated Deed, and with a rope halter that he had in his cember 9, 1807. hand, kept up a constant noise, by beating the same against the trunk; whether deterred by this or not, the panther soon retired. LIST OF PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS, &c.
