A TRAGIC FATE.
Death OF the Young Huntress Of Wayne
County, Penn.

Death OF the Young Huntress Of Wayne
County, Penn.
From the Elmira Gazette.
A fearful tale is told in the Port Jarvis
Union of the fate of Lottie Merrill, the
young huntress of Wayne county, Penn.
According to this account she meets most
tragic death on the 9Th of February, being
attacked 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, it is said, at the close of
that day found her cabin still burning, and
the proofs of the horrible death she had
died. 1t appears that she had been hunt
ing that day, and had killed fine buck
deer, which, after removing the entrails, she
had dragged home on the snow. Six hungry
bears, drawn by the smell of blood, had fol-
lowed the trail to the hut, and after devour-
ing the carcass of the deer attacked the
huntress, killing her and devouring her
body. The girl had evidently made q
heroic defence. An examination Of the
carcasses of the six bears in the cabin showed
that she must have killed two of them be-
fore being overpowered. The carcass of
one bear had fallen against the closed door
and imprisoned them all within the cabin,
which took fire and burr ed the others to
huntress' heavy boots with the foot still in
it, a bent hunting knife near the bones, and
the antlers of the deer she had brought
home, which, with the carcasses of the
bears, furnished a complete key to the
mystery. Her funeral took place on Wednes-
day, the 9th. At least three hundred peo-
pie we're present at the funeral, and the old
preacher, William Budwick, preached the
sermon, relating the story of her death and
extolllng her bravery and virtue to the skies.
The remains were buried near the burned
cabin, and over her grave was placed pair
Of antlers and hemlock slab with this rude
epitaph:

seny this define the love which cannot ex-
list here, and see if they do not get it down
to low plane.
As this defense Of woman, instead of
following the narrow line that has been
made popular, embraces all, and has vindi-
Gated the jeered-at mother-in-l law as the
well-spring of joy in the household, SO it
now maintains the capacity Of women Of so
to love, and their charms to draw love;
their qualities for high social Companion
ship and their right to have it; their ac-
complishments for making rational men
happy, and their qualifications for enjoying
the society of intelligent men; their eleva-
ton of mind, which recognizes congenial
mind without consulting the record of birth;
their enjoyment of spiritual union which,
without regard to the different ages Of the
mortal environment, is in the highest sense
of the union of two souls with but single
ought, of twohearts that beat as one.

said M. de Bocage, and reaching behind

it full in the face of the Englishman.
At this noise and the fall of the clergy
man, who was stunned and blinded for the
moment, the two Sergeants and several
policemen entered the room, accompanied
by white pointer, who leapsd up and car
ressed Monsieur de Bocage.
"Down, Thanor, down." said the muir

geant, joyfully.

A Bridegroom,s Superstitson.

Among the Mari savages Of India, if o
young man wants to marry, his father takes
with him some friends and they set out
toward the village or house indicated by the
youth. If they hear bird chipping on the
way they return dismayed. It is bad
omen. If they meet hare or squirrel,
wild boar or mountain cat, it is likewise
an evil omen. But If they meeta stag or
bullock,a buffalo or young maiden, It is q
good omen, and they 60 on their way re-
ioicing. The chirping Of the bird, the in
nocent cat or hare, wild boar or squirrel,

So full are their lives Of superstitious fears,

EGGS for Matching.

As the season for Matching chickens is
now at hand, hint in regard to the eggs
intended for this purpose may not be out
of place. Often eggs do not hatch on &C
count of being roughly handled, or by being
kept in too high or too low temperature.
They should be carefully removed from
the nests, placed in a basket, and not dis
turbed until put under the hen. When a
chicken is set on nest of dry hay or straw,
the Poultry Monthly recommends sprink-
the eggs with warm water two or three times
during the process of incubation, which
prevents the skin attached to the shell from
hardening, and the chick can more easily
pick its way out.
