We mentioned some days since in this
paper the killing of a large black bean
on Stony Fork, in this county. Since
that time Ebert Miller, of Black Lick,
shot and killed two bruins on Walkers
mountain, in this county. One of them
was a very heavy animal and 1t required
n quantity Of lead to dispatch him. We
learn that the tracks of rs many as ten
bears in a drove were G a few DAYS

Celery for R~hcumntIsm.

In celery there must be some special
virtue, if We only knew what it is.
Nothing is made in vain, and the power.
full smell and extraordinary taste OF
celery are limitations from nature that
it has some special mission, Mr.. Ward,
of Pcrriston Towers, Ross, writes that
rheumatism becomes impossible if celery
is freely used as an article of diet. I'm
fortunately, he says cooked celery; for
it is the article in it's raw state to which
we are all accustomed, "Cut the. eel.

water until soft. No water must be
poured away unless drunk by the in

thickcn with flour, and flavor with nut
meg; warm with the celery in the sauce
pan; serve with diamonds of toasted
bread round the dish, and cat with pota.

II poultry raisers generally would ut
tend to the advice given in the Ameyj

great experience they would have the
thanks of every practical ~housekeeper.
Ills plan is as follows-The turkeys arc
fed as usual the night before butchering.
and in the morning are driven in upon
the barn floor as o as they come from
the roost, and are made secure. Their
crops are empty, and they can be
caught rs they are wanted. Make a
Slip-nooae of strong cord for each turkey
in an adjoining stable or shed, put the
turkeys legs into the nooze and with a
small pointed knife stick the bird us
neal the head as possible. As o o as
the bird is dead strip off the feathers.
plnfeathers and all. Cut the neck off
as near the head as possible, remove the
wings and draw the e~ntrails before tax
ing the bird down. The turkey is hung
up alive and taken down ready for mar
kct. Lay the bird on his breast or side
upon n clean board to cool. Turkeys
should be carefully handled in dressing
to avoid breaking the skin, for it rubs
off very easily when they are warm.
Remove all the pinfeathers and pack
the birds, when sent to market, in clean
straw, so that there will be no marks of
blood upon them. Handsome, clean
dressing will add a cent a pound, and
often more, to the market price of all
kinds of poultry.

COaXing Sarah,

Justice Alley had hardly been opened
to legal business yesterday morning
when a sleigh containing seven or eigh
persons from beyond the city limits
drove up to the door of a popular jus
tice and piled out with an air of bust
ness. His honor was poking of the fire
when an old man bcckoned him into a
corner and whispered,
Got a job of splicing here for We, My
darter Sarah here is going to hitch to
that chap there with the blue comforter,
and then we're going out to have some
oysters"
"All right-all right" was the reply,
and in two minutes the official was all
ready.
The man with the blue comforter
peeled his overcoat, laid aside his hat
and extended his hand to Sarah.
Il won't do it'll die first she said,
as she shrank away.
She's a little timid," explained the
old man, while the mother rebukinglv
observed.

self here. William will make YOU a
good husband"
"And don't you forget it y added vii

"Now, Sarah you stand up and get mar

"Be k%cerful, mothcr-don't maker
mad!' warned the old man. "Now.
Sarah, if We back out everybody will laff
at MS"
81 don't keer / want to travel"
"You shall" answered William.
"Whero %
Wen all so to the House of Correc-
faint far huff"
The old man bcckoned William and
Sarah aside and began,
