teered to creep in and drive bruia out. The
lad had gone but short distance when the
infuriated bear attacked him, planting her
fore feet on his breast and tearing the ssh
from his arms and neck. He had only ns-
w revolver with him, which proved a harm
less weapon. Summoned By the cries OF his
brother for assistance Joseph hastened to
the scene OF the bloody encounter, when
the bear LETT her prostrs &c victim aud direct
ed her attention TO Joseph. He emptied
the contents of his rifle into the bears head,
which had but little effect. The bear caught
tho defenseless man around the body and

ger. Mr. Berger's residence stood not far
from JericO Church. "here had been
reaching in the church that evening, and
the congregation was about leaving the
building when some one saw that Berger's
house mad taken fire. The congregation
ran to the burning building. That part OF
the house in which the chimney stood, in
which the cooking was done, was all fire.
The neighbors we're dazed or confused.
There was nothing there with which to
fight the fire, aud by the time that they had
cd TO break in a door and save some
of the pers nal property, The hre had SO
spread itself through the building that only
a few chairs and a lounge was gotten out
of the building. No insurance. Sir. Bsr-
gnr and family wore in town at the time OF
the fire. They saw the light of the fire,
and knew that 1t was in the direction OF
their home, but did not think that 1t could
be their habItation, for, when they lett the
building about O'Clock in the afternoon,
there was no fire in the house. While the
people of this town were locking at the
light that came up from the Berger house,
a light showed itself above the Tuscarora
in a southeasterly direction
8 ONE of the citizens guessed that fire to be
in Bloomfield, Perry county. They were
connect in their guess. The light was
caused by the burning CT the dwelling
house and cabinet maker shop Of the
Rouse Brothers. No Insurance.
