FOR THE JEFFERsoNIAN.
A Serious Adventure.
CANADENsIs, Monroe Co., Pa,
September 5sh,. 1865.

DepuemucI osu, 1CVOs
DEAR SIR: One day during last week
Mr.. Joseph Brown, who resides near
"Goose Pond" Pike County, started in
company with another man in the direc-
tion of "Mud Rum" with the intention Of
cutting out road. They separated from
each other, taking different directions
Mr.. Brown had proceeded but a short
distance before he came upon an old road,
and was not little surprised at the dis
covery of young "Cub, which he found
no trouble in capturing, and thought tc
take it home. After carrying it a short
distance, it proved to be quite heavy, be-
ing fat, Mr.. Brown concluded to dispatch
him with his pocket knife; and, while at
tempting to cut its throat, the "Cub" gave
a sudden cry, which soon brought the
mother to the spot, barely giving Mr.
Brown time to climb the nearest small
tree, closely pursued by the infuriated
mother, who tried first to climb the tree
but failing in this, attempted to shake
him off. Mr.. B. in the meantime called
vigorously to his companion, but he fail
ed to hear. While in this dilema, hi,
fears we're heightened by the appearance
of the "male Bear" joining with the
mother in doubly furious attempts to dis
lodge him. Finding climbing and sha
king vain, they resorted vigorously t.
gnawing the tree down, which they woule
certainly have accomplished were it no
for the timely appearance of Mr.. BIS dos
in answer to his anxious calls. At tht
sight of the dog the Bears left the tre'
and gave chase, atfording Mr.. B. a chanct
for escape, which he improved rathe
hastily and soon succeeded in finding hi
companion. They returned at once t.
the scene of action, to find not the Bears
but the dog, stretched out, badly mangled
but not dead. After vain search fo
the Bears, Mr.. B. carried his dog home
fully convinced that he had seen "Bar.'
At latest advices the Dog was still living
and 10. vows he shall have his tenderes
care so long as he may live.
p S.-The above is Mr.. B. s statemen
as corroborated by his companion.
/ am, very respectfully,
RUFUS p. NORTHROP.

Great events spring from trivial cause
By the disobedience of lad in 1909, gar
den gate in Rhode Island was left open; a
pig got in and destroyed few plants, a
quarrel between the owners of the pig and
the garden grew out of it, which spread a.
mong their friends, defeated the Federal can
didate to the Legislature, and gave the State
a Democratic Senator, by whose vote.war
was declared in 1912 with Great Britain.

The Coal Trade.

The Schuylkill coal region is sending
forward an immense coal tunnage. The
two carrying companies, the Reading
Railroad and the Schuylkill Navigation,
brought down, for the week ending on
Thursday, 1877 ,291 tuns-87 ,468 by the
road, and 49,733 by the canal. As COM
pared with corresponding week last year,
the road increased its tunnage 10,917
tuns, and the canal its tunnage FL ,524
tuns. The business was, no doubt, stim-
ulated by the semi-oficial announcement
previously made that the tolls and freight
charges would be increased on the 1st
instant. This, we believe, has been done,
and as consequence .ae retail price of
coal in this city has advanced from so
cents 81 per tun. Lehigh prepared coal
is now quoted at about SO the gross tun,
and SO the short tun Of 1000 pounds
Schuylkill coal sells at about 81 per tun
below the prices of Lehigh coal. 1t is
hardly probable that the coal tunnage
will be SO heavy the current week as il
was the last The effort to put the larg
est amount of coal possible in the market
before prices advanced will naturally tend
to lessen the movement Immediately af
ter the advance has taken place. The
retail demand, which has been very &C
tive for week or two past, from the same
cause, is also likely to fall off little
though, with the general apprehension
entertained that there will be no ovel
production of coal this year, 1t is probable
the demand for coal henceforth to the
end of the season will be equal to the
supply, fact that will tend to keep up
if not advance, prices.-[Philadelphis

Fowls.

1t is always difficult to keep fowls entirely
free from vermin We know of no better
way than to let them run at large, 80 thai
they can burrow freely in dry soils. After
they have gone to roost at night, catch them
and apply little sweet oil, pure lard oil. OF
neatsfoot oil, to the top of the head and un.
der the wings, near the body, rubbing it in
pretty thoroughly. Do this once a week for
three successive weeks. During the time,
boil onions until they are soft, and mash
them with boiled potatoes, add little corn
meal, and feed to the fowls once week.
Rub the roosts and other place in the house
with raw onions. Perhaps it would do no
harm to wash the wood work slightly with
kerosene. 1t seems as though the applican-
tlon of these remedies, together with entire
cleanliness would exterminate hem. Trv
them, and let us know.

Current Revenue of the Government

The current receipts Of the government
from customs and internal revenue are unusu-
ally large. The income from internal reve.
nue averages over two million dollars day.
The customs revenue, through the single
port of New-York, is this week up to dai-
ly average of nearly 100000 in coin: on
one day 1t reached $735,5OO, or, on the basis
OF gold at l45, equal to Sl,O66,475 in cu,-
rency- Evidently, the national treasury
cannot De very ''hard pressed" for means to
meet all current claims upon it.

this), cover that over with layer of peas,
pressing it down that the peas will lie in

the roots growing down into the water,
their fine fbres presenting beautiful ap-

will grow up, which can be conducted to

A $50 90 CAKE.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me through your
columns to thank the Bushkill and Wal
pack churches and neighboring friends,
for the beautiful and valuable present of
a $50 cake and lest my clerical brethren
should feel little envious, if not incred-
ulous, l will state that at the suggestion
of friend, one of our good ladies pre-
pared cake for our festival, held last
Thursday, at the Walpack R. d. Church.
Said cake to be voted for by Pennsylva-
MIA and New Jersey, at cents vote,
the State giving the greater number of
votes to have the honor of presenting the
cake to the Pastor. The contest was spir-
tied and the result SO near tie, that the
young ladies recording the votes, miss
Lizzie Clark, for Pennsylvania, and Miss
Belinda Decker, for New jersey shared
the honor of presenting in the name of
their respective States.
The attendance at our festival was small,
but liberal, leaving in the hands of our
treasurer about 1926.
Now, Brethren, if you wish to obtain
choice cake, l have given you the recipe,
and for the making would refer you to
Mrs. A. G. Hull, of Bushkill.
Yours truly,

The above relates only to one class excl
ing items and is very incomplete. The ava
lanche ofrobberies, burglaries, assaults, mur-
ders, rapes, suicides and terrible and fatal
individual and wholesale accident would fill
the columns daily ofany paper in the country,
to the exclusion of everything else. Believ-
ing that the majority of our readers do not
like to "s sup on horrors" at least every day
we notice but few of those occurrences
