A Georgia Bear Story. — The Georgia 
Historical Society must bo a profoundly sol- 
emn body if they failed to roar at the follow- 
ing story, which was read to them the other 
day by Captain W. W. Paine : 
“Morgan Gillis was a hunter of some re- 
nown, and a bold and powerful man. One 
day hunting in the piney woods, he killed a 
fine buck, ahd while engaged in skinning it 
he discovered several Indians creeping toward 
him. There was no time to deliberate or to 
tarry. Springing to his feet and leaving rifle 
and venison behind, he ran for life, and 
reached the swamp, where he noticed a large 
poplar, which hud been broken oil near its 
top, and had the appearance of being hollow. 
A knarled or knagged hickory which rested 
against this enabled him to easily climb the 
tree, when, to his great joy. lie found it hol- 
low, with an opening in the top sufficient for 
him to enter. He entered it, and sliding to 
the bottom, found it tenanted by two fat cubs, 
and at once discovered that be was in the den 
of a bear, which, fortunately for him, was 
not at home. About three feet from the bot- 
tom of the den was a small knot-hole, from 
which Gillis saw the Indians approaching, 
and who seemed much puzzled at not finding 
him. After hunting around, the Indians dis- 
appeared, supposing that Gillis had escaped 
to the river. Waiting some time, and the 
Indians not reappearing, Gillis thought it time 
to leave his hiding-place, and, attempting to 
do so, found to his dismay that he could not 
climb out, aud that he was entombed with- 
in the wooden walls of a tree. Our friend 
was not the first man, nor the last, who had 
gotten into a scrape and found it difficult to 
get out. Gillis amid uot perish with hun- 
ger for somg days, for he could eat the cubs ; 
but he might perish for water. Having his 
large hunting kuife with him, he commenced 
trying to cut his way out of the hollow, and 
while thus engaged he heard, as he supposed, 
some one climbing on the outside of the tree. 
He thought of the Indians, aud gave himself 
up as lost. Soon the aperture at the top of 
tree was darkened, and au object commenced 
descending, and, horror of horrors! it was the 
old bear. Bears always descend a tree back- 
ward — and as Mrs. Bruin neared the bottom 
Gillis, in terror, commenced using his knife 
vigorously on her, and she not expecting 
such a warm reception in her quarters, hast- 
ily ascended, and Gillis, taken advantage of 
her discomfiture and hasty retreat, seized 
hold of her shaggy hair and was drawn to 
the top. He escaped and reached home in 
safety, a wiser if not a better man.”
