Fight With A Bear in the Water.—Passengers by the Port Huron boats describe the killing of a bear in the neighborhood of that place, a day or two since, in a peculiar manner.

A man who lives on the American side had occasion to cross the St. Clair River early in the morning, and on the way, discovered a large bear, who was engaged in the same mission as himself, viz., endeavoring to gain her Majesty's dominions. He immediately made for the animal and, being able to make better headway through the water, soon overtook him, and struck him on the head with one of his oars, having no other weapon.

The bear turned on him, and with the utmost coolness commenced climbing into the boat, the man in the meantime belaboring his skull with the oar with all his might. The assailing party by this time found that he had caught a Tartar, and that he was likely to be the captured party himself. This apprehension was rendered nearly a certainty by the capsizing of the boat just as his bearship had nearly accomplished loading himself into it.

The man, now thoroughly frightened, found himself in the water, clinging to the side of the boat, with the bear looking at him from the other side. He made a desperate effort, righted the boat, ducked the bear and got in again but was no sooner in than the bear made another rush at him and upset the boat again. A lively scene of flounderings followed, which were fast bringing matters to a crisis when the arrival of another man in a boat, who had witnessed the fight from the shore, and come to the assistance of the first adventurer. He split the bear's head open with an ax, killing him instantly.

The animal weighed over 400 pounds.
