stunned me into insensiblity. BY the
time rose the bear was upon me, but l
had my knife in time and gave him a
thrust that made him growl with anger
and howl with pain"
The old man then proceeded to relate
to the reporter the several details of the
fight and its result. The contest lasted
ten minutes, the bear getting in blow
upon blow, knocking his antagonist
down, but never succeeding in getting in
a hug upon him. In the meantime Nee
hoo used his knife in savage desperation,
though for long time unable to touch a
vital part of the monster. Finally ne
managed to stab the bear in the heart
and kill him.
Meehoo now owns forty acres Iof land
and lives with his squaw in very primi-

now, and continues his daily avocations,

Not as it Ought to Be.

The death of John Morrissey elected
elaborate eulogies in several of the first
pspers in the land. Unquestionably John
Morrissey deserved certain degree of
C. edit for his political and legislative in.
tegrity, and we desire not only to be just
but to he generous to the memory OF the
deceased.
it is universally conceded that in his
legislative course he was never swayed by
pecuniary considerations. He could not
be bribed. In this respect, he set good
example.
Nor would we condemn man with
undue severity, born with such surround,
ings as those of John Morrissey in his
childhood, for the. errors OF his youth.
But, on the other hand, when we are told
that he began life as prize fighter, and
afterward reformed, we ask what sort OF
reform it was2 Aud we are assured
that he became gambler. Reforming
from pugilst into q gambler strikes us
as very doubtful kind of reform. A
professional pugilist rs bad enough, but,
as it appears to us, professional gambler
is much worse. His occupation is more
noxious to the community. He does
more harm to others. 1t is his business
which leads hundreds of young men
astray. Defalcations, frauds, flight, sui
eide follow naturally in his wake. Fam
lilies are beggared and shattered by the
losses incurred at his illusive games.
If all who have been made wretched
10y single gaming establishment had
followed John Morrissey to his grave it
would have made an unusually long fun
eral procession.
1t is not pleasant to make these re-
marks. But the Ledger would not be
true to the duty it owes to the young men
of the country, just coming on the stage
of action, if ii did not caution them
agains. the lure of false light like that
which shines in the inconsiderate, un-
qualified culogies upon John Morrissey
We cannot feel that things are just as
they ought to be when we read that the
Senate Chamber of the State OF New
York and noted gambling house in
Twenty. fourth street are both draped in
! mo- ming for the same man, and for the
le1so that he had seat in the one, and
was proprietor of tile other
We nave no idea that better gambler
ever represented us in Congress or in the
State Senate than John Morrissey; but
we hope no professional gambler will ever
represent US again.-Neso York Led0er.

Cast O Line for Yourself.

A young man stood listlessly watching
some anglers on bridge. He was poor
and detected. At last, approaching a
basket filled with wholesome. looking
fish, he sighed, ''If, now, l had these l
would be happy. l could sell them at a
fair price, and buy me food and lodgings.'
81 will give you just as many and just
as good fish," said the owner, who
chanced to overhear his words, "if you
will do me a trifling favor"
sand what is that9" asked the other,
eagerly.
"Only to tend this line till I come
back. l wish to go on short Grand"
The proposal was gladly accepted.
The old man was gone so long that the
young man began to be impatient.
Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped
greedily at the baited hook, and the
young man lost all his depression in the
excitement Of pulling them in; and, when
the owner Of the line returned, he had
caught large number.
Counting out from them as many as
were in the basket, and presenting them
to the young man, the old fisherman said,
Il fulfill my promise from the fish you
have caught, to teach you, whenever you
see others earning what you need, to
waste no time in fruitless wishing, but
to cast line for yourself"

surprise BIrthday.Dinner.

On Friday last, Aunt Polly Snyder sug
gested to her good husband, Uncle VIM.
Snider Sen, that some articles for family
use were necessary; and, like all good
husbands, he took his market basket on
his arm, procured the coveted articles and
sent them home by a boy, he remaining
down town until dinner time. These old
wives are pretty foxy sometimes in play
ing off their humorous little jokes on their
lords of creation, and none of them un-
derstand this art more perfectly than the
good old wife of our friend VIM. Snyder
Sen. After remaining down town until
that time when ones appetite suggests
that it is dinner-time, Uncle William
wended his way homeward; and, on ap-
preaching his house, to his surprise, it
seemed to be surrounded by horses and
| buggies, and the house filled with old and
young friends, all as. merry as though
there was going to be a wedding there,
the tables literally groaning with the very
best edibles this rich county can produce.
His surprise increased, and mentally he
said, ''What can all this mean?'' But,
when it was suggested to him that it was
his 73d birthday, the mystery was, like a
flash of lightning, revealed to Uncle Will
liam. 1t Was a joke they had been play
ing off on him; it was his birthday, and
he was made captive in his own house {;
and, captive as he was, no one enjoyed
the social reunion of relatives and friends
more heartily than Uncle William and
Aunt Polly Snyder. 1t was complete
success.
We did not take an inventory of the
well-filled baskets that were brought in,
but they contained enough to feast double
the occasion, and that, too, of the very
best the country could afford.

? names of those who were present: Jack

seemed to appreciate the immense per-

mime abounds in many new tricks and
scenes, and ends with beautiful trans
formation. Fraser is good clown, with
an expressive face, that calls to mind the
great Fox. Miss Lillian Travis displayed
pretty and shapely form as Chorus. She
is n promising actress, and has brilliant

Republican Primary Election.


The Republican Primary Election, for
the nomination of candidates for the va
rious county offices TO be filled at the Oc-
tober election, passed off smoothly, with
good feeling between all the candidates
and their friends. There was plenty of.
hard electioneering done during the can
Vass, but, so far as we can learn, there
are no claims of unfair treatment on the
part of any of the interested parties, and
all the contestants gracefully acquiese in
the decision made at the polls.
We start out in the campaign with an
excellent ticket in the field = one in the
support of which the Republicans of the
county can cheerfully unite, and one
which we may confidently expect to elect
in October, from top to bottom, by hand
some majOrities.
The following is the ticket nominated:
For Sheriff-Maj. Jas. F. Cook.
For Clerk-E. w. Welsheimer
For Probate Judge. B. Priddy.
For Commissioner-Amos Thornton.
For Recorder. w. Heagler.
For Infirmary Director = Thos. Larri-
mer.
For Coroner-S. L. Hooker.
