of treason is henceforth as safe to

State Treasurer's Report.

. The Annual Report of State Treas
urer Kcmble shows a satisfactory con-
dition Of the State finances.
The receipts for the past year have
been S6,S29, ,G68 81, all from ordinary
sources, excepting 1861 81 80 refund
ed by the General Government, and
500, ,0G0 received from the PennsyIva-
MIA Railroad Company on account of
indebtedness. The expenditures dur
ing the year have been S6,462, 1903 Al,
as follows for ordinary expenses 81
097,044 AZ; S497, SOS 70 for the Cham
bersburg sufferers, and Sl,867 $50 %
for the liquidation Of the debt. Among
the ordinary expenses is included the
amount # the Chambcrsburg sufferers.
The Treasurer says that the Act of
last Legislature authorizing the pay
ment Of pensions to the soldiers Of the
war of 1912 cost the State much more
than was anticipated, over 280G claims
having been already received, involv-
ing disbursement exceeding Sl60, 600.
He recommends that the law be re-
pealed, holding that the paying Of pen
sions should be done by the general
government.
The officer complains of the negli-
gcnce of the local assessors in procur-
ing returns of monies on interest. In
the first, fourth, sixteenth, seventeenth
and eighteenth wards of Philadelphia,
there is no such return made, and the
same is true of other districts in the
State. The amount of tax paid by this
source during the year is about $780,
900. He recommends that the State
tax on personal property be dispensed
with, and in lieu thereof, each county
/ be required to pay into the State Treas
urer, forty cents on each taxable in.
habitant.
He believes that the State debt can
be reduced hereafter without increas-
ing the burden of taxation, at the rate
Of about three millions of dollars per
annum, which would in very few
years liquidate our entire State indebt-
edness

A Remarkable Occurrence.

An individual living at JoetatesvilIe,
on the Broad Top Railroad, this coun-
ty, went out hunting week or two
ago, and while perambulating the
mountains, fell and fractured his leg.
The weather was severe, and the pros
pect Of freezing presented itself most
vividly. The unfortunate man was
alone, far from home, with no sympa-
thizing creature to assist or even to
commiserate with him in his sad con-
dition. Seized by a fit of desperation,
and finding his pockets well supplied
with small nails, he determined upon
the horrible expcdient of mailing his
foot to his boot and his boot to his leg;
to resolve was to execute, and in this
condition he crawled to his home

Harvey F. Muzzey writes US, giving
an account Of a weeks hunt 1t will
be of interest to our Eastern readers
particularly to see what kind of sport
we have here in the hunting line, and
what Western boys can do. Mr.. Muz-
zey is but little more than boy, being
but nineteen years old. Here is his
story:
Il started out hunting few days ago,
and after killing large buck in the
morning, | crossed Apple river and
struck a bear track. After following
the bear for several hours | entered u
large poplar thicket, near Cedar lake.
As | WAS working my way slowly
through the thick brush the bear sud
denly jumped up before me, not over
three rods off. When about eight rods
off | fired. The ball passed through
bis lights, and he fell dead few rods
from the spot.
A few days later while hunting on
Apple river, near Sucker branch,
started out with my dog about 3
o'clock in the afternoon. Before had
gone far, my dog Grant 'winded some
thing He lead me along-I expected
every moment to see deer until |
came in sight of what appeared to be
Il large hole under the roots of tree.
On nearer approach | discovered
bears head protruding. l immediate.
ly raised my gun and fired. This was
followed by a cry from the wounded
cub, and fierce growl from the old
bear. My rifle was double barreled,
and still had one charge left.
FAs the day had been wet one;
was fearful that my rife might miss
fire. The old bear rushed out, and,
when within a few rods Of me, [ fired
an ounce ball, which took effect in her
neck, killing her instantly. The cubs
were large and seemed inclined to
show fight loaded as quickly as
possible and dispatched them both.
