BIC GAME. - A correspondent
writes us from Honey Grove:
'For several days, large black
bear has made his appearance near
the residence Of Stephen Bruinam
and takes a pig or some other animal
and leaves the premises. Much fear
is entertained by some of the neigh
bors and diligent search has been
made for two days without success
in finding him
The item looks some like a sell,
but we hope the bear Tor bare) may
yet be caught and summarily dealt
with.

WE notice by the Enterprise that
Mrs. Kimberly, the Cattle Queen of
West Liberty, will soon start with
her fine herd for the Rock Island
fair. We hope the officers of our
County Agricultural Society will
make a special effort to have Mrs. X.
and her stock, as well as Mr. Jacobs,
at our annual exhibition on the 14th,
18th, 10th and 18th of September.
Cedar county alone has enough fine
stock to make an exhibition in that
line equal to that usually seen at our
State fairs, provided all are brought
out, and as the leading breeders on
the east side of Cedar will be on
hand, it is hoped that the west side
will be equally well represented.
thus making our fair, in point of live
stock displays, superior to any county
exhibition in the State.

TnE HoMEspIS THEATRE opened
its doors on Tuesday evening and
made its debut before a good house.
We have already described the char
acter of the drama, 81 MON Spy" and
also the manner in which it is being
produced by amateurs of this place.
We are glad to add that its first APP
pearance was generally pronounced
success. The new scenery, upon
which Col. Temple has bestowed ten
days Of very hard work, was all in
place. and was decided to be both
neat and convenient. And this re-
minds us that their is strong talk
among many Of our citizens of ten
dering to Col. Temple a compliment
tary benefit. 1t is certainly deserved,
and we trust will not end in talk.
Otherwise the play will conclude
with this evenings performance.

The term OF Circuit Court which
closed in this county on Friday of
last week was rather remarkable
one. 1t adjourned after session of
only about four days with its bust
ness unusually well advanced, and
yet without a single trial by jury,
although there were numbers of cases
on docket for which jury trial was
anticipated. Why, four such ones
were compromised and settled by the
parties in one afternoon. Either the
new statute about payment of certain
fees by parties li,igant is having
considerable influence. or else the
good old Quaker leaven which has so
long lain in old Cedar is fast leaven-
ing the whole lump. We under
stand that some more Of our lawyers
are thinking Of looking up new loca-
tons.

Our County FAIR.-A MATTER
IN WHICH EVERY Man WOMAN AND
CHILD IN THE County is INTEREST
Ep.-The preparations for the regular
Annual Exhibition of the Cedar
County Fair Association are now
well under way. The grounds are
being nicely fitted up for the conven-
fence and comfort both Of man and
whether spectators, exhibitors
or exhibited. Needed improvement
is making in the Floral Hall; stables
are being repaired, pens covered and
the grounds thoroughly cleaned and
set in order.
AS to the events of the occasion,
we have the pleasure of announcing
that A. S. Welch, President of the
State Agricultural College, has con-
scented to deliver the address; which
we can, therefore, confidently war
rant as being well worthy the atten-
ton of practical farmers, and every
body else who can appreciate good
speech upon some Of the most i'm
portant topics of the time. Many
entries have already been made in
various departments-on man max
ing twenty six the other day-and
from the general interest manifested
il is fair to presume the exhibition
will be An unusually large and fine
one. A number Of good horses will
come here from the Davenport Fair
and else where: but the fact is we
have plenty of horses in Cedar county
that can make just as good races, and
Just about as fast ones, as any that
can be found in the State. A new
feature is to be introduced in offer.
ing three prizes for Base Ball--a fact
to which the attention of clubs in
neighboring towns is especially in
vited.
But really the most important mat
ter is the attendance of our Cedar
county people and their participation
in competition with the greatest pos
sible number of the best from their
stock yards, their fields, gardens,
orchards, and last but not least, the
product of the skillful industry of
their wives and daughters. We all
have, or should have some pride in
the matter; and if we are to have a
County Fair, let us one and all turn
out and do our part toward making
it what it should be, second to no
real Agricultural Fair in the State OF
Iowa.

Disorder and idleness increase rather
than dimish in the coal regions. There
has been no resumption Of work during the
last week by the strikers, but they continue
outrages upon those who will not join them
scheming leaders of the miners associa,
tieps who flourish on the credulity and
passions of their followers, have been max
ing incendiary speeches at different points,
and are doing all they can to prevent re-
sumption of work. The idle miners are
becoming both destitute and desperate, and
are regardless of any law except that OF
their own will. No further steps to pro
tect the laboring people from violence have
been taken, and many parts Of the coal DIS
trict are practically in state OF anarchy
1t is time that some positive action was
adopted for the preservation of life and pro
perty, and the maintenance OF law.

The NJ. L. Parsonage in this borough pre-
sents fine appearance having been finally
completed and enclosed with neat picket
fence. The Pastor Rev. B. j. Sanderlin
being a great lover of flowers, by his untiring
industry, has greatly added to the beautlfy-
ing of his home by the rich profusion of rare
plants and flowers. A new fence about the
church and the grading Of the side walk has
added greatly to appearance and convenience.
The members are taking steps towards the
dedication Of the auditory Of their new
church which is now completed and ready
for furnishing.
Mr. Kistler is pushing rapidly forward the
work on his new store building, opposite w.
S. Bargers store in this borough.
Messrs. Yetters's are going ahead with the
alteration of their store, putting in a pressed
brick front and raising the building higher
and putting on a mansard roof. This will be
a fine improvement.
Among other improvements, when will
the Street r. II. move their track to the
middle of the street in obedience to the Or
dinance of the Town Council last fall?
Mr.. Kistler has been improving his pro-
perty on Washington street, by filling in and
grading the lot and putting up neat picket
fence.

employers find much use for the labor OF
large boys. Many such lads between the ages

less, to our Boys Lodging houses and to this
Office They are boys who have had little
training and of rough habits, but they will
be of use on the farm or in the shop. To

and an advantage to the employers. All
employers Of labor desiring to aid this

OUR citizens are making considerable head
way towards securing their quota of subscrip-
tions to The stock Of the Lehigh and Eastern
railroad. We learn that some ST., 900 Of
the $25, 900 has already been raised, and that
the raising the balance is a matter for very
short time. We truly believe that this is
Stroudsburgs opportunity, and that no grea-
ter business mishaps could bcfal her than
not to have that road completed. We had
inteuded charging upon the subject of its
building this week, but physical indisposi-
ticu compels us to defer it.

According to all accounts, New York
city has never been SO poor as at present.
An old and well known resident of the city,
writing to the Troy Times, says it is 'pov-
erty all round" The masses are hunger
bitten, and the gentry are severely
pinched The percentage of growth, too, or
at least in the increase of values, was less last
year than in any previous year for quarter
century. Only five millions was added
last year to the real estate assessment roll,
while three years ago the annual increase
was fifty millions. Real estate is very dull.
Stores do not pay, houses do not pay, the
great structures erected for Offices do not
pay, and increase in building will be small.
Every description of property which Is un-
der heavy mortgages is said to be in dan
ger. Since the panic, personal property
has also deprecated enormously, the shrink
age being estimated at thirty milliOns-due,
chiefly, to the heavy decline in ordinary
values. Pacific Mail, which once was
quoted at three hundred, is now forty-fiye.
Panama Railroad has been as high as four
hundred, but now is selling at one-third
that rate Kansas Pacific bonds which
were issued at ninety-fve are now selling
at seventy, and to these shrinkages is to be
added the entire loss of bank capital in the
Ocean, the Atlantic and other ruined banks.
Then, again, railroad bonds to the amount
of more than S3OO,OO0,000 have defaulted
on their interest since the panic, and these
to large amount are held in that city.
New York may wear snowy mask, but
there are grim features behind it.

And now we are to have fourth Of July.
The initial steps were taken at the meeting
at the Court House, on Friday evening last,
and it will not do to let 1t go by default.
Indeed we must have it-frst, because it is
a duty we, as free citizens of these United
States owe to the patriots of 76, and, second,
because it is necessary that we have this
preparation for the great Centennial of next
year. Let us therefore, all hands put our
shoulder to the wheel, and carefully push
the project forward to successful consumma-
ton. There is abundance of time to get up
a celebration that will prove honorable to
both hand and heart, and prove brilliant
out cropping to that patriotism which should
most certainly abide and rule within US. To
the front, then, lovers of your country and
its free institutions and just lets see how we
will surprize by what we can do. Let moth
ing deter US from working warmly, earnestly,
untiringly and energetically to do our whole
duty on this ninety ninth anniversary of our
glorious national sabbath. 1t was said by
one of the fathers that he was most happy
that showed most reverence for his country
and its institutions" Let US by our obser
vance of the 4th of July 1875 see if we can
not make our happiness in this regard per-

have conversed with several farmers in
Fayette county in regard to the crops and
they are of the opinion that the wheat is
not so badly injured as they at first appre.
hended. The late rains have brought il
forward, and the fields are losing the vel.
low appearance of ten days ago, and look
quite green. Apples, cherries and peaches
are generally conceded to be killed. but
plums and grapes have not been injured
much.

The Somerset Herald tells this story !:
A certain family in Jenner township have
an old hen that comes into the house every
other day and flies upon the bed. The
woman of the house then opens the bed,
and lays rag or piece of paper on it to
prevent it from being soiled the hen then
pops on the paper, or whatever may have
been laid down, and lays her egg +; then
flies down and goes out with the rest Of
the chickens till her turn comes to lay an
other egg, when she does the same thing
over. This is an invariable rule of hers,
and is strictly followed.

On the 9th inst, Auditor General Tenn
pie took charge of his office, and was waited
on by State Treasurer Mackey, who prof
fered Mr.. Temple any aid or assistance
that he might require, while his clerks
are new to their duties, and himself in
experienced. Mr.. Mackey also took this
occasion to invite Mr.. Temple to make any
demand for information, or to make any
examination concerning the Treasury
which the new Auditor General might
deem proper and necessary. These ameni-
ties are right in themselves, and 90 far to
relieve the politics of the State from the
fuss and insolence too much in vogue
with thoze on whom circumstances have
thrust a little brief authority, and they
will also show that the industrious effort

desire to eyade an examination of the af-

thing to conceal Cover and above his nat

THE sale of the Singmaster herd of Alder
ny's, grades and Dcvons, &C., announced for
the 9Th June, is beginning to attract consider
able attention throughout the country :;
and well it may, for rurer strains are not
easily to be found. 1t is already known
that many Of the most distinguished cattle
men of the country have siguifed their in
teutien to be present at the sale, and we
should not be surprised to see the bidding
spirited and prices rule nlarvellously high
fo1 this region. And yet we hope that all
the herd will not be taken away from here.
We hope the sale will develope it as a fact,
that we have spirited money men here also
men who take pride in the possession of
that liberality which will step forward to Sc
cure the diffusion of more Of the pure blood
for which this herd is noted among the COM
moner sorts of cattle Of which we have so
many fine specimens in our midst. 1t needs
but this to give our cattle a reputation,
equal to that which liberal expenditure has
secured for the herds of other counties, with
no greater natural grazing advantages than
we have. If this desideratum can be secured
in no other way, let it be done by union Of
means among our farmers. 1t is just such
union, in other localities, which has secured
strains of neat kline for which thousand
dollars is not considered an exorbitant price
