The heaviest rain of the season fell last
Thursday night, followed by frost Friday
and Saturday nights. The rain dispersed a
drought which had become oppressive to
vegetation, while the frost endeavored to
cOunterbalance this blessing by nipping the
buds and blossoms, but failed far as this
locality was concerned. The 0ndition Of
the crops may in general be sal De good,
though the season is at least twOw ks later
than in ordinary years.
Mr.. Thomas Bishop, Of Allegheny town

has requested us to proclaim the fact to all
the readers of the FREEMAN, pledging him
self, if nominated and elected, to do his duty

justice to say that leaving out his political
acts his record at Harrisburg is pretty nearly
the right thing. His votes SO far as we have
observed, were against all Jobs and swindleS,
and they are recorded on all questions.
A party of five Portage township farm
eTs, headed by Mr.. jeremiah Gleason, sur
rounded bear in Cedar Swamp one day last
week and killed it. 1t measured eight feet
in length. twelve inches across the forehead,
and weighed 400 pounds. 1t used to be
thought that some INSCRIPTIONS neghbOr

but now the mystery is happily cleared up.
Bruin was the thief beyond the bear posi-
bility of a doubt.

prepared to say, though certain it IS that
Thursdays storm brought with it two more
additions to his happy household boy and
Cirl--fOT both whom we trust long and
