CAPE MAY,
CAPE ISLAND. NEW JERSEY.

Since the close OF 1866 much enterprise has been
displayed at this celebrated sea-shore resort New
and magnificent cottages have been erected; the
Hotels have been remodeled; fine park, with well
made one mile drive, has been inaugurated and in all
!he essentials OF popular summer resort spirit Of
improvements largely manifested.
The geographical position OF Cape Island Is In tsell
popular feature, when properly understood. Stu
aed at the extreme southern portion of the State,
occupying neck of land aG the confluence of tn
Delaware Bay with the Atlantic Ocean, it become
entirely surrounded by salt water, hence favored b
continual breezes from the sea-
The blum furnishes beautiful view of the OceaH
Delaware Bay, and picturesque back country, takn
IN CAPE Henlopen distinctly at distance Of sixteei
miles. The beach Is acknowledged to Burpass an
other point upon the Atlantic coast being of asmeOth
compact sand, which declines so gently to the
that even a child can bathe with security
Added TO these attractions is the fact that the effect
OF the Gulf Stream upon this point renders the water
comparatively warm-a point not TO be overlooked
persons seeking health from ocean bathing.
The distance from Philadelphia to Cape Island is 81
miles by rail- and about the distance by steamer
down the Bay and by either route the facilities
travel promise to be OF the most satisfactory charac
ter. The Island has Hotel and Boardng-house ac-
commOdations for about ten thousand persons The
leading Hotels are tb Columbia House, with George
]. Bolton proprietor; Congress Hail, with j. 4.
Cake proprietor; and United States, with West and
Miller as proprietors all under the management of
gentlemen who have well-estabshed regulations as

A big Bear story.

The other day party of four hunters
went out sporting from Crescent, a station
on the Northern Central, between here and
Wiliiamsport. After reaching the noun
tain they decided to separate in search OF
gane==the discharge of a gun beiug the
raliying signal, should one need the assist
ance Of the rest. One Of the four, William
GoodcharIes, in his peregrinations, came
across the opening of what seemed den,
amid some rocks. He boldly entered in
and about the same time was rather rudely
thrust back and out by an enormous black
BEAR which resented intrusion by at once
showing fight. Having his gun loaded
and pointed in 'front.' he at once discharged
its contents, which took effect in the head
of the bear and killed it instantly-fortun
ately for his future comfort and safety
about which he began to have serious
doubt. The noise Of the firing brought
his companions quickly to the spot. The1
at once went to work and skinned and
dressed the animal and started home with
what meat they could carry. When wei
on their way they bethought themselve,
that likely the den might be a wintering
place for bears, and possibly there were
more to be fovnd. So they trudgcd back
and put their guns in order, entered and
succeeded in stampedlng three more bears
which showed good pluck, but at length
were compelled to yield to the superior
prowess Of the hunters. They secured
the trophies of their days sport-proceed
ed home without further hindrance, anc
showed the evidences of the hot work the,
had encountered with four black Bears

We might multiply such facts to min
ity; but need we! Suffice it that, as the
result of most anxious, intent contempla-
ton of our great struggle, we do most un-
doubtingly believe that the Democrats, a.
party, were not at heart for the Union ID
its terrible struggle with secession-that
they did not rejoice at its triumphs nor de-
pIore its defeats. We do not say that a
majority of them wished the Union perma-
nently dissolved: we know, and have often
stated that they did not: but they believed
that the Union defeats and disasters would
discredit and destroy the Republican ascen-
dency, and that they would thereupon
come into power and coax the rebels back
into the Union by all manner Of conces-
sions and prostrations to the Slave Power.
They had no notion that the Union could
(or shouId) be saved otherwise than by let
ting the shareholders have their way IN II
and the road to this they realized, lay
not through Union victories but the con-
trary.
Firmly grounded in this conviction, are
we at liberty to proclaim it 2 Do we de-
serve to knocked down and stamped on

to be branded as liars? What say you,

ing an account of it says:
"A strange and dangerous accident hap,
pened last week, when Messrs Cross, nat
uraists, of L,verrooa, undertook to forwa'd
a huge black -mahed Sahara Lion to Scar
borough. On it's arrival there the animal
was at once taken to the menagerle. All
went well until it was attempted TO shift
this uutamed king of the forest frnm TIA
cage in which he had been forwarded into
the den built to ho'd him at the exhibition
After many unsuccessful attempts had been
made to move him out of one cage int
the other, it was at last determined to TEL
egraph their difficulty and r"qu st the
sistance of Mr. William Cross, who at once
on receipt of the telegram, took train for
Scarborough. Upon his arrival there an
other trial was made, and after a sev re
struggle that lasted some hours, the noble
brute was at length success fully and safely
denned. Bnt strange to saw, whilst Mr.
Cross was receiving the congratulations Of
tie people about him, he inadvertently laid
hold of one Of the bars of the den.

seemed to be watching and waiting for

Finding the lion determined to retain

MASONRY -Freemasonry is called Catho
lie because it is throughout the world from
one end Of the earth to the other; and be,
cause it teaches universally and completely
the fraternity, equality, and liberty of the
human race, and subjugatesin order to these
ends every class of men, governors and gov
erned, learned and unlearned and because
it teaches all the doctrines of Natural Reli6
ion; and because it inculcates in deeds and
words universal charity, and universal love
of the truth aud of all truth. Well may
Freeuasonry be called Catholic.
