A Curious Beast.

Acuriou9 beast, killed near Weston, Umatilla County, Oregon, was on exhibition at Pendleton the other day. It is about three feet long aud a foot and a half in height, and has a shaggy coat of dark and light brown. Its head resembles that, of a bear, but its long tail precludes the idea that it might be a cinnamon. It is supposed to be a specimen of the so-called fox-tailed bears which tradition says were once plentiful in the mountains in that vicinity.—[New York Post.
