papers we copy the following items =
A bear with four cubs has been seen on
the ridge about a half-mile above town.
On Saturday last John Hawk, residing
in Patterson, upon visiting his bear-pen in
the Narrows, discovered that the pen con-
tanned large she bear. Mr.. Hawk was
accompanied by Philo Hamlin, of this bor-
ough. They shot the bear, and brought
the carcass down to Patterson on hand
car.
Charles Calvin Kinsloe, aged years, 0
months and 10 days, whose parents reside
in Milford township where the accident
occurred, was killed on Wednesday last in
the following manner His father was
hauling barrel of cider in cart The
little fellow crawled in the cart behind,
which caused the cart-bed to dump, rolling
the barrel of cider out upon the boy, crush
ing and killing him almost instantly
John Heikes and wife of Milford town
ship, made narrow escape from being
killed at the upper crossing in Patterson,
on Thursday morning last. Just as they
were in the act of driving across the track
in spring wagon, an engine used in shift
ing cars came along, striking the hind end
of the wagon, knocking off the hind wheels.
Mr.. Heikes and wife luckily escaped un-
hurt.
Mr.. Mcclure, who resides two miles
north of East Waterford, some time since
discovered bee tree in the woods. Last
Thursday evening he and some friends went
to the woods to cut the tree and get the
honey. While busily engaged in storing
their vessels with honey their attention was
attracted by a succession of queer growls,
proceeding from point higher up IN the
trunk of the tree than where they were
working An investigation revealed
the fact that family of coons had a
lodging place there. Their hole of escape
having been closed by the fall of the tree,
they were quarreling dreadfully over their
mishap. A hole was quickly cut SO as to
leave the animals out AS coon appeared
at the hole to escape, blow on the head
from an axe secured the game. -Four, all
full grown, was the number taken from the
tree. The honey gathering was then re-
sumed, and resulted in yield of 81 pounds.
Quite profitable nights sport.

Important to Directors and Teachers. -
In some districts the directors have been
discussing the question of allowing teach
ers time during the session of the '' Insti-
tute." By reference to the following law,
it will be seen that the power is taken from
the directors and they have no choice in the
matter. We do not know ut whose sugges-
tion the law was made applicable to this
county, but it seems to us if it is a good
law, it should be made general, and if not
a good law, why saddle it on to any coun-
ty? M

THE WIFE POISONER.
Shaffner Pleads Guilty TO Murder in the
Second Degree.

Emanuel Shaffner, the convicted wife
poisoner, pleaded guilty on Monday last
to murder in the second degree in the
three indictments charging him with the
crime Of poisoning his wives Nancy and
Sarah and his paramour's husband, John
Sharlack.
Soon after the appearance of the prisoner
the clerk of the court ordered him to stand
up and hold up his right hand.
The indictment was then read by the
clerk, after which the prisoner was asked.
How say you, Emanuel Shaf'ner, equity
or not guilty?''
The prisoner replied, "guilty of murder
in the second degree"
The indictment charging the prisoner
with the murder of John Sharlack was
next read, and the same question asked,
when the prisoner replied "guilty of muir
der in the second degree"
The Indictment charging the prisoner
with the murder of Sarah Shaffner was
next read, and the plea equity of murder
The district attorney stated that in con-
sequence Of the prisoner putting in the
plea of "murder in the second degree in
all,the cases, and the ends of justice being
served, the term of Imprisonment being
sufficient to prevent his doing further harm
in the community, he accepted the plea,
with the consent of the court. The offer
came voluntarily from the prisoner through
his counsel, and the commonwealth could
not fail to accept the offer, as it would save
increased expense to the county.
His Honor Judge Pearson stated that it
was with reluctance that the court agreed
to anything that looked like compromise,
but in consideration of the offer, and as
the ends Of justice would be attained, the
court consented to,accept the offer and al
low the pleas to be entered knowing that
the confinement of the defendant would be
Of such a length that he would have no
further opportunity of doing harm to the
community or the members thereof.
The court then asked if the prisoner ha d
anything to say why sentence should not
be pronounced upon him. He answered
in firm tone, "Nothing."
Ho was then ordered to stand up when
Judge Pearson addressed him in substance
as follows:
Emanuel Sha6ner: You have put in the
plea Of "guilty Of murder in the second
degree" to three indictments, and although
you were indicted for murder in the first
degree, and were no doubt guilty, we have
concluded to accept the pleas. Wo have
done it purely out of pity towards you, al
though you did not show any pity to your
victims. From the time you commenced
administering tho fatal doses they suffered
under the severity of their pains. Ibid not
believe that there was any one in this coun-
ty that would be guilty of poisoning three
different persons at different times. 1t
appears from your own confession that you
have been guilty of that crime. We would
admonish you to make your peace with
God and make atonement for the acts you
have committed, SO far as repentance can
go. Instead of taking your life we give
you punishment by imprisonment. The
court then sentenced him to SO years in the
penitentiary
