MEssRs. EDITORS a Sabbath School Cele-
bration was held at this place few days since,
which came off very pleasantly.
The School assembled 10 the Lutheran Church
at an early hour in The morning, where it was
formed into procession by the officers and
teachers, and marched little distance rom the
Church 10 beautiful grove on the bank Of the
Raystown Branch, which place had been pre-
yiouslv arranged for its reception. The appear
ance of the procession was really interesting.
On reaching the place we enjoyed ourselves
in various amusemenls, until about half past
eleven O'Clock, when the tables were spread
with the luxuries which had been prepared by
the ladies'. The Teachers, with their Scholars,
were drcently ard orderly arranged at the table,
a blessing was then asked 5v the Rev. MIR.
Lawrence, after which thev all partook freely
OF the bountIes prepared for the occasion. After
they had finished, all others present were cor
daily invited TO The table, which still contained
a Sufficient quantity Of edbes of different kinds
to suit their wants.
Dinner being over, the afternoon was spent
in singing and innocent recreation. All was
harmony and peace, aud each tried to admins
ter 10 the wants of the other.
At about four P. NJ, the participants were all
called together by the Rev. Mr.. Lawrence,
who gave us short lecture on our duty to-
ward our Maker while young, after which a
prayer was offered up by the same when we
were dismissed and soon found our way
homeward. ! am happy TO say that it was one
Of the most pleasant days that | ever spent
Sabbath school celebrations are certainly a
source of encouragement TO the young and RI
sing generation and therefore should be patron
sed by all both old and young.

A Barring Exulnit with a Rear.

At Woodland Ulster, county, Y. Y. on Sun
day ,as two brothers, John and Mat Schoonmager,
were standing up at the Muddy Bush Kill with
no weapons but their pocket-knives and no
companion but their two dogs-one fox hound,
the other water spaniei-they stopped while
TO fish but they bad only caught few speck-
lers, when they were staGtled to hear the hound
utter the well known cry of his species upon
scening game.
One of the men Immediately put chase after
the dog; on reaching the spot on The bank o!
the stream where the dog first found the trail,
he was not little surprised TO discover the loot
prints OF large bear on hemlock log, where
he had landed from his morning bath.
The bear had retreated some twenty rods
from the stream 10 cover and there the dogs
came upon him.
II was but the work of moment TO acquaint
the other man of the state Of the case, where
upon, giving his fishing pole toss into the
stream, he ran up with The other dog.
Then regular rough and tumble fight ensu-
ed, during which part of the time the bear had
the upper hand, and part the men and dogs but
a lucky moment the spaniel got the bear fast by
the hind leg, and then, as be turned over 10
give him-the dog-his quietus, the hound
SelZed the opportunity anu the bear, too, by
the under jaw and so the two pinned hun TO
the ground, when John thrust a heavy stake
into his mouth, and placing his knee on the
BEARS head, proceeded with but sorry speci-
men of 4 jack-knife 10 perform the operation of
tracheotomy upon Bruins throat, and killed
him.
They swung him across a pole and carried
him between them 10 the nearest settlement.
SnyGer's tannery, two miles distant
1t proved to be genuine black bear. One
of the red-nosed and most savage kind, and
weighed, when dressed, some goo pounds.

HON. WILSON REILLY.

We publish in this ISSUE the proceedings of
the Democratic Congressional Conference for
this district, which met. at Chambersburg, on
Thursday the ID. inst. II will be seen that
Hon. WILSON REILLY was re-nominated By
arciamation. That he will be reelected, no one
doubts who is acquainted with the; intelligence
of the people before whom he is candidate
He is popular in his own county, he is popu-
lar wherever his eloquent voice has been heard
and his genial nature has shed lis kindly inau-
ences. On the other hand, his competition has
many bitter opponents in the ranks of his own
party; he is decidedly unpopular at home; makes
no friends when he goes abroad is man OF
very ordinary intellect; is anything but an ora
tor in short, is man that cannot, will not
and ought not be elected TO the high and re-
sponsbe Office of representative IN Congress
Weraise Ma. RElLLY's name to our mast, con-
ident that on the second Tuesday. of October
next, he will be returned 10 Congress by a
larger majority than he received in 1886.

THE "SCOTCH PIPE" ROORBACK.


The Opposition to The Democratic party, hay-
ing no principles and despairing Of being able
to make an issue on which they can ride into
office, have inyenied, in lieu of platform, any
quantity OF lalsehoods wherewith, if possible,
TO injure the prospects Of the Democracy
One of the boldest, as we'll as the most Insidious,
is that concerning the purchase of the pipe for
the Washington City Aqueduct, in which it IS
alleged that Government bought the said pipe
from manufacturers ia Scotland. The follow
ing, from the HOlIidoysburg Standard, shows
the whole thing to be fabrication
owe have noticed Munchausen story trav-
elling around IN the papers, concerning our gov
ernmeEt making contract ior water pipes 10
be brought from Scotland. 1t is a finely gotten
up story, and did it not lack that one qnaIifca-
ton, truth, il might be told with great deal Of
effect The facts are as follows Government
required pipes for the Washington aqueduct.-
An advertisement was made oil the contract Of
fering il 10 bidders. Jno. Lawrence Myers, an
iron founder in Philadelphia, put ia the best
bid and received the contract, agreeing 10 fur
nlsh The pipes by October. lst. Upou Jno. My
ers giving security, his bid>es received, aud
the whole affair was taken out OF the hands Of
government and lis officers. Mr.. Myers, we be-
lleye, did make contract with some Scotch
house 10 supply part OF the pipes; but only be-
cause 1t was necessary TO enable him to fulfil
his contract; and upon these the United States
will be as much OF gamer as the duty amounts
10.
AS 10 the Government making any contract
with Scotch company, 1t is simply false
Whatever MIR. Myers does is another matter.
