Tuesday three bears crossed the road
in front of a farmers team, near the Union
Mills, some three miles from this city. The
farmer stopped and gazed on Madame
Bruin and her two cubs until they disap-
peared leisurely in the brush.
"A typo not far from this city, whose
name We Withhold for the present out Of re-
spect for his parents, who are poor but Ion
est people, was enamored ola young dam
sci, but was too bashful to speak out. The
happy thought occurred to him of doing
the work by postal card. So, marking up
on card these characters g.! p8"" and
SIGNING his name, he sentit to tn sweet guild
ing star of his existence. The next mail
brought him card bearing an +. The
ecstatic youth Immediately proceeded to
embrace, and thinks the postal-card "pop"
quite as good (as t risky a personal
presentation of the question and very much
easier.
The Dramatic Association gave an en-
tertainment last evening on the occasion of
their first anniversary. The drama of
the "Idiot Witness" was first presented and
was very. creditably played, the part cast for
Prof Haines, who was absent, being taken
by Mr.. Chas. Evans, Of Philadelphia, tenn
porarily stopping here. Dancing followed,
with ice-cream, cake, etc. The As
ISOLATION stands adjourned until fall, when
it will resume its meetings.
From Sheriff Geissel, who returned to
day from Albany, we obtain the particulars
of case of accidental shooting which might
have been much more serious in its results
than it was: Last Sunday, at Geo. Kul-
zer's hotel boy named Auer, about sixteen
years old, was fooling with an old pepper
box revolver, which had not been used for
long time. He pointed it at Mary Kulzer,
young lady of about 10 years, and snap.
ped it repeatedly, until finally one barrel
was discharged and some. seven or eight
shot driven into Miss Kulzers right arm.
The injury is a painful one, but not danger:
GUS. 1t is said that only short time before,
young Auer had held the revolver close to
some mans head and snapped it. This
fooling with guns and pistols is always
dangerous and should beseverely punished.
If there is any cut-throat institution in
the country, in our line of business, it is
George P. Rowell & Co.'s. We hope the
western press generally will kick his con-
temptible offers into the rear addition of
their respective establishments, where they
belong.-Dututh Tribune.
We cannot speak for other papers in this
matter, but the experience of The Jour-
NAL with Messrs. Roweu & Co., in business
transactions extending through a number
OF years and amounting to many hundreds
of dollars, has not been such as to call for
or warrant any such denunciations as the
above. On their contract advertising they
have paid US the full price asked of them,
and have paid it in cash monthly before the
work had been completed, and the prices
they have offered for other advertising
has generally been wholly satisfactory.
Some advertisements sent by them we have
declined, just as We have declined advertise
ments from other parties, ;i>oluding home
customers, because the price thy were viii
ling to pay was not sufficient. We never felt
that we were compelled'to accept an I'D
vertisement from them unless We wanted
to or to get mad if they offered us less than
our rates. Fit were known At what ruin
ously low prices some publishers would not
only accept but solicit advertising, it would
not be wondered at that Advertising Agents
should sometimes make extremely low Of
fers for work. One thing is certain, Messrs
Rowell & Co. will pay whatever they agree
to, and if q publisher does advertising for
less than he can afford to it is his own
FAULT.
Look out for big invoice of peaches
