Inauguration.

HARRISBURG, Pa January 2l.-
The Inauguration of Governor Hoyt
took place to-day. The procession,
with its banners, music, and diversi-
fed uniforms Of the different military
corps, made a spirited and pleasing
spectacle. After Governor Hoyt de-
liyered his address the great crowd
was dismissed with the benediction
and salute was fired. This evening
there will be display of fireworks.
and Mrs. Governor Hoyt will hold a
reception.
The inaugural rejoices at specie re-
sumption, and says: " Henceforth we
are to produce and exchange actual
things, and not gamble in fictitious
values" With regard to the mainte-
nance of the government by ballot,
with equal political rights for all, the
address says Pennsylvania's atti-
tude on this question is known wher-
ever her name is known, and she will
insist upon its enforcement in every
State as certainly as her mountain
peaks point toward heaven and her
rivers roll to the sea.

ATTACKED BY GRIZZLIES.
Four Of Which FerOclOus Animals a
Hunter Kills in as Many Minutes.
Trinity Cali Journal.l

Trinity Cali Journal.
Several weeks ago, in the neighbor-
hood of Hettenshaw, in this county.
remarkable bear hunt occurred. II
appears that DR.. Stanley, while on a
visit to Hettenshaw, expressed an
earnest desire to go bear hunting, and
accordingly one morning he started. in
company with Greene French, George
Burgess and 10 Lightfoot. Arriving
at a thicket, the dogs gave notice Of
their near approach to a bear, and the
party decided to station themselves
at certain points and let the dogs 90
in and drive the bear out. This was
done but the doctor becoming impa-
tient, entered the thicket himself. The
heavy underground made his progress
slow, but he fought his way ahead un-
til he came to a fallen tree lying in a
little gulch. Helping himself along
by the limbs he arrived at the upper
end just in time to be confronted by
huge grizzly bear. Retreat was i'm.
possible, as it had been with the ut.
most difficulty that the doctor had ad.
vanced 50 far; there was no tree in
convenient distance, and as the griz-
ely showed fight, there was nothing
left for him to do but shoot. Taking
deliberate aim with his Henry rife
the doctor fired and the bear fell NOR
tally wounded. Another load was
sprung from the magazine into the
rife, and the doctor, looking
toward his prey, was surprised to
see a second bear in the same spot.
This he shot also, and quickly reload
ing, was yet more astonished to see a
third bear in the same place where he
had shot the other two. Again the
lever moved and fresh charge went
into position, aud again the doctor
looked up and discovered a fourth
grizzly coming toward him from the
same opening in the brush. Whang,
went the gun again, and down went
bear No. A. By this time the doctor
bad got warmed up and excited, and
he kept moving the lever and firing
into the bodies of tho bears
until tho sixteen shots in the
magazine we're exhausted. Mean
time his companions, hearing
the shooting, and presuming the
cause, made their way to whore the
doctor was, with the intention of as.
sisting him, but found him on top of
the largest bear, with the others
strewn about, swinging his hat and
shouting Justify. One was an immense
grizzly, 50 large that the hunters could
not handle him, and the other three
were good-Sized grizzlies, probably
about two years old. The shooting of
four bears by one man, without ever
changing his position, is something
hitherto unheard of, even in the most
highly-cOlored annals Of the Western
wilds.

a Dangerous TOrpOr

Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is seri-
ously dangerous to those organs, since it is
the precedent Of diseases which destroy their
substance and endanger life. This sluggish
ness may be overcome by stimulating them,
not excessively, bat moderately, an effect pre-
duoed By Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a gen
eral invigorant and Alternative, possessing di-
uretic properties Of no common order. The
impetus which this admirable medicine gives
to their eyacuatiye function counteraets any
tendency to congestion which NAV evist in
their tissues. Beth they and their associate
organ, the bladder, are inyigorated as we'll ss

kindred influence upon the stomach, liver
and bowels, and by strengthening the system

Hayes for q SECOND Term.

Baltimore Sun Washington Telegram.)
Notwithstanding that President
Hayes has solemnly declared that he
would not be candidate for re-elec-
tion, it is a fact that certain politicians
from the South and the North have
gone to the White House and assured
him that if certain things were done
delegations to the next Republican
convention could be worked up in
his interest. The same statements
have been made to Secretary Sherman
as to himself A short time ago a
paper was drawn up for presentation
to Secretary Sherman by a number of
politicians in a Southern State. in
which it was alleged that all the Fed
eral Office holders were hard at work
for Grant, and that if he (Sherman)
would have them turned out and put
in persons to be named, a unanimous
delegation from that State to the Re
publican National Convention could
be secured in his interest.

FIX Governor PALMER, of Hi
nOis, finds new argument against
General Logan S election to the United
States senate by Republican legisla-
ture. In 1858 the legislature of Hi
nois passed an act providing that if
any person or persons shall bring or
cause to be brought into this State
any negro or mulatto slave, whether
said slave shall be set free or not, he
shall be liable to an indictment, and,
upon conviction thereof, be fined for
every such negro or mulatto a sum not
less than 800 nor more than $500, and
imprisoned in the county Jail not more
than one year, and shall stand com
initted until said fine and costs are
paid" This act was introduced by
Logan, and Palmer was indicted under
it in 1862, when he was an officer Of
the Union army.

Thel Ice scenery at Niagara.

+ r
a correspondent of the Buffalo Courier,
writing from Niagara Falls, says: From
Luna Island can be had good view of
ice-bridge. which extends from the south
side of the American Fall to little be-
low the new suspension bridge, and looks,
in the distance, like the icy ruins of an
ancient city, with streets and walls, its
inhabitants crossing and re-erOssing, and
looking like tiny animated specks in the
distance. Next in order comes the stair
way and bridges to Terrapin Rock. Here
the trees, ETC., are very thickly covered
with ice, the bridges looking as if formed
of ice. The channel between the first
Sister Island and shore, the next place
visited, is perfectly dry, cause by the dam
of ice above. The stream between the
second and third Sister Islands rushes
along with increased force and sends up a
cloud of spray. While walking along
near the head of the island saw a flock
of about twenty Mallard ducks in small
open place in the ice, sheltered from the
wind. Thousands of ducks fill the open
places in the ice, and as they are obliged
to ly from one pond to another, they are
slaughtered in large quantities by the pit
iless hunter, seereted at the edge of the
/ ponds, with .deeoys in the water. and an
overgrown white shirt over his other
lclothes. From the head of Goat Island
the river above presents beautiful ap-
pearance, looking like vast SNOWFALL;
over the surface of the water The ice
above the Falls presents one solid field
extending from Goat Island nearly tt
Towanda. A person can start from th'
Cataract House and walk to Grand Island
on the ice without getting his feet wet
In the park the ice formations are yerl
beautiful, in some places eclipsing tn
best efforts of the Swiss earvers. The ic
. mountain continues TO grow, and will al
ready furnish coasting for the most reck
less. The dome of the observatory
2 covered with two or three feet of ice, an
very curiously formed. The view frOr
the ice bridge surpasses that at all othe
3 points. Gigantic icicles hang from tn
: edges of the falls, the water, as it come
t over the fall, is eongealed into flakes {
4 ice, and waited by the wind in every d
rection. Huge cakes of ice come floatin
down the stream, impelIed by the swil
currents, and striking the bridge, al
either ground to powder, lifted onto i
! or go whirling along beneath the bridg
F? to come to the surface again at the en-
r of it.
