A FEARFUL tale Is told in the Port Jervfu
IN. W Union of n recent date of the fate OF
Lottie Merrill, the young huntress OF Wayne
County, Pa According to this account she
had met most tragic death having been nj
tackled in her hut by six bears, killed and
eaten by them, and her body burned with the
carcasses OF some OF them In her cabin. A;
party Of hunters Il Is said, at tho close OF tho
day on which the horror, occurred found her
cabin still burning and the proofs OF this hor-
rible death she had died. IL appears that she
had been hunting that day, and had killed .,
hne buck deer, which, after removing the en-
trails, she had dragged home ON the snow. stx
hungry bears, drawn By the smell OF blood,
had followed the trail TO her hut, aud, after
devourfng the carcass Of the deer, attacked
the huntress, killing her and devournr her
body. Tho girl had evidently made a heroic
defense. An examination OF the carcasscs OF
the six bears in the cabin showed that she
must have killed two OF them before being
overpowered. The carcass OF one benr had
fallen against the closed door and impri.oncd
them all within the cabin, which took IRE ana
burned the others TO death. In the cabin were
found one OF the huntress' heavy boots with
the foot still in IL, bent hunting knife pear
the bones and the antiers OF The deer sbe bad

ASSEMBLING OF CONGRESS-

II
The Republicans organized the House
on Monday by electing Hon. Joseph
Warren Keller, of Ohio, Speaker; Hon.
Edward Mcpherson, Of Pennsylvania,
Clerk: G. w. Hooker, of Vermont, Ser
geant-at-Arms; Captain Harry Sherwood,

Brownlow, Of Tennessee, Doorkeeper,

The election of Keifer brings Ohio to
the front again. 1t was deemed no doubt
only matter of justice that Ohio having
lost her President at the beginning of his
administration through assassination,
should still he kept prominent in Nation
al affairs. By some the election OF Keller
is heralded as victory of the stalwarts
because of the interest the Cameron
wing of the party took in the defeat of
Hiscock, but we think wrong is done IN
claiming the success of keifer as
triumph oil any faction in the Republic
an party What Republicans should
consider most in relation to the matter is
that they again have complete control OF
