horrid old monster Of kingcraft, called
religion. Mr.. Warren was q man OF
strange life, whom his later years hsd
crown to look upon his fellows with 3
feeling akin to hatred. About the last
thing he did was to complete history
of bis life, which was to have been read
at his funeral. II contained denuneia-
lion of religion in all its forms as 3
hvnocritjcai cover for sins that would
oiberwise be condemned by the worlds

Gampshire, and be was Q member OF an

A CURIOUS BEAR STORY.
How Bruin TeEderly Cared for Child
He Had Carried off,

HOW brutn IeB0erIy Sareo IOr u SuiAo
He Had Carried or
Cor. Glasgow Herald.
Mr.. George Swift, a ranchman in the
Grand Valley, tells story which shows
how uneviable is the life OF the stock
raiser in that wilderness. 4 short time
ago Mr.. Swift let bis three year-old
daughter ride upon his horse, and after
she had ridden about forty rods
from home he lifted her off the animal
and told her to run home. On return
ing about an hour later he found that
the little one had not reached home,
and, going to the place where he had
last seen her, he found bear tracks in
the sand. A posse was formed, aud all
night was spent IN searching for the
lost child.
In the morning, as the searchers were
passing swampy spot where the un'
deTgl owth was thick, they heard her
yuEe. They called to the little girl to
come out If the bushes, but she replied
tLat the bear would not let her. the
men then crept through the brush, and
when near the spot heard splash in
the water, which the child said was the
bear. Tbyy found her standing upon a
log, extending half way across the
swamp, and it seemed as though the
bear had undertaken to cross the
swamp on the log, and, being pursued,
left the child, and got away as rapidly
as possible. She had received some
scratches about the face, arms and legs,
and her clothes were almost torn from
her body, bat the bear had not bitten
her to hurt her, only the marks of his
teeth being found upon her back, where
he had taken hold Of her clothes to
carry her. The CHILD told her rescuers
that the bear had put her down occa-
sionslly to rest, and would put his nose
up to her face, whereupOn she would
slap him and he would hang his head
by her side and purr and rub against
her like cat. Her father asked her if
she had been cold during the night,
and she told him the old hear law he-
side her and put his arms" around her
and kept her warm.

The Democratic convention, for this
county, is to take place at the Council
Room next Saturday afternoon. AT
that time three delegates will be
chosen to attend the Democratic State
convention. The State convention
will elect twenty-six delegates who
are to take part in nominating a can
didate for the Presidency on the Dem
ocratic ticket. 1t is therefore impor-
tant that Democrats should attend
the county convention so that the
three delegates chosen may know
who the Alpena Democrats favor for
President, and thus be able to fairly
represent the Democracy of this coun-
ty at the State convention. AT pres.
ent, throughout the county, strong
desire is felt by Democrats to nomi-
nate Samuel j. Tilden as the Demo
cratic candidate for President. We
find that this feeling is also strong in
Alpena, and we trust the old ticket
will be nominated, together with
declaration of an effort to reduce the
tariff taxes.
