beauty and gayety is fitting previous to my

ii! L like to sec 'em pass pro and con, precious
to my acindoac, momsntarily;' but all pleas
ure must end. A few days since this gay
and happy city was the echo of joy, but how
soon is all changed. The blackness of des-
pair now sits on the ceuntenancss of many
herein daoelling. There has been seen Turk
ing under the shadows of houses, at ulasssm-
.y hours for weeks past, a figure that closely
resembled one of the Bruin Family. Sew
eral of the citizens of male persuasion met
the animal, but dared not attack it sin
gle handed. Prompted by appetite and EN-
boldened by frequent meetings Of men. it
located in the nsighborAood of Vaughn &
Bros store, and refused to be dislodged;
took up acinter quarters and quietly snoo-ing
with its young little dreamt of danger
Having withstood already an attack from
clerks, druggists, segarists, lawyers. and
breaches, who, with stakes punched and
Mrusts to hearts content aoithout striking q
uital point. The animal was resting after
resisting such terrible odds in apparent Sc
curity from farther trouble or molestatiou;
while the attacking party of brave men had
aoHhdrawn from the fierce Jfray each one
respectively bearing naarhs Of the contest
Indeed there are those who allege euery man
cfutem ran at some moment or oHer during
the attack; yet the animal knew nothing of
Pennsylvania laws, and like Crusoe, was
naonarchess Of all it surveyed. But the
Mayors full volumed voice said, let there
be no truce; load ye locusts; grid ON ye
armor and go forth to dislodge this common
enemy of man. This violator of laos and
morality, and his blue coated artierists
rent for Ter Bearship, supported by despe,'-
ate mothers. Amid all this confusion and
conservatism, the animal fed before Ter
pursuers to,oard Hollidays5urg, where she
now again stands defiantly awaiting furtA-
er developments in the struggle for possession
of her inGioidual rights in the land of her
naticity; ready again to resist Mrusts with
strokes, bloacs with hugs; and the wounded

these once happy mountaineers hare their
dangers and troubles. Health giving as is
this mountain air, where malaria is I'M
known, danger turks even here. Preaching
animals seeking sustenance in face of death
are not uncommon. So endeth the first
bear fight here of 1878. ECHO.
