CORRESPONDENCE
For the Independent.
GERARDsTowN, w. VA.

OEhAhDSTOWN, w. VA.
The usual quiet Of our village was
pleasantly ruftied on the morning of
Sept. 1889, by an interesting event
the marriage of Miss Sue Gordon to
Prof. Edgar Bowers, of Roanoke
College. About $50 a. M, num-
Der of persons were seen vending
their way to the Presbyterian church,
which thoughtful friends had decora-
ted with beautiful flowers and plants,
for the occasion, they also had the
church darkened and the lamps light
ed. At 10 promptly, the bridal par
ty arrived. The old church was well
filed with an expectant audience.
Mr.. D. Gold Miller, at the organ, and
his brother Harry, with his cornet,
only awaited the arrival of the party
to begin the wedding march, Mendel-
ssrhn's.
With the sound of the first strains,
the doors were thrown open, and
they entered in the following order i.
Mr.. Fluin Gordon with Miss Leila
Bowers, Mr.. Jno. Bowers, of Nd,
with Miss Toto Willy, Mr.. r. Lee
Leatherman with Miss Bessie Miller,
Mr.. Geo. McClanahan with Miss
Mamie Gold, Mr.. A. 3. Household
er with Miss Maude Gordon, Mr..
Paul Sieg with Miss Sally Willy, Miss
Lula Gordon as maid of honor, and
Mr.. Edgar Bowers with Miss Sue
Gordon.
The ceremony was impressively
performed by Rev. E. l.. Wilson,
pastor of the church. Mr.. Miller
softly playing a prayer throughout,
then bridal march, as the party
left the church. Miss Sue was dress
ed in old rose, with Persian trim
ming and togue to match. The
bridesmaids rare costumes of white
or cream cloth, with light tan gloves,
the maid of honor wore white with
pink sash and ribbons, and carried
boquet of pink geraniums and
ferns. The groom and his attend
ants we're attired in the usual black,
with white ties and tan gloves.
They returned to Marshbrook, the
home of the bride, where they enjoy
ed generous lunch and social chat
with few friends who were assem-
bled, after which the bride appeared
in golden brown travelling suit and
began to say good-by. One thought
full friend Of aye olden time" began
to hunt for some rice, and the last
good-byes were exchanged amid
showers of rice and old shoes. One
very pleasant feature of the occasion
was the fact that four of the grooms-
men and one other guest, Mr.. Il.
Arthur Frey, of Lovettsville, Va,
were classmates of Prof. Bowers,
and it was quite a reunion for them
all. They accompanied: the happy
couple to Martinsburg, where Mr.. Il
Mrs. Bowers took the train to go to
Salem. Va, at which place will be
their future home. They received
many handsome and useful presents.
Miss Sue was great favorite among
her many friends here, and will be
greatly missed; but / am sure they
will one and all join me- in wishing
them both many long and happy
years of welded bliss.

A New Alaskan Bear.


Th;s country has certainly done it's part m
furnishing new species of bear. To the Old
World list it has added the cinnamon bear,
the true black bear. the roach back or silver
tip. and, most terrible Of all, ursus lerox tho
grizzly, the most formidable brute that
walks the surface of the planet. Recent &C
counts from the Alaskan Alps indicate that
America has even broken its own record
Two miners who had set out from Yakutat
To proepect the foothills of Mount st. Elias
were crossinga valley densely wooded with
yellow cedar, fir and hemlock on the south
easterlv side of the mountain, and had sat
down to rest for few minutes on an immense
log when they heard slight noise at the far
end of it, followed by loud sniff. CHANGING
Ia that direction they saw an animal resem-
bling bear in size and other respects, save
that the head seemed rather broader, and the
color. at a distance Of dozen yards, was that
of a silver gray fox or a brindled wolf.
Three siugs, delivered in quick succession
from Winchester in the hands Of one Of The
miners, laid the animal lifeiess in the thick,
soft moss beside the huge log.
In all generic particulars the creature was
then found to be a bear, but his pelage was
made up of thick undercoat Of fur Of slate
gray color, out OF which grew second coat
of longer, coarser hair, both black and white.
giving the beast its peculiar bright gray and
brindled tints The skin seemed to be 80 fine
that the men took it off, and On their return
trip, two days later. carried 1t to Yakutat.
1t proved to be considerable prize for a
trader offered them $50 for it. In an adJoln-
ing Indian village they saw another similar
Bkn. for which the natives had refused 500,
which was used as hunters tslis1nan.
The trader told the two miners that hides
of this bear were only occasionally brought in
bv the native hunters, and that he had never
heard Of them elsewhere. Several other
curriers' confirmed the statement that this
species of the genus ursa is peculiar to the
foothills and valleys Of the st. Elias range.
1t is distinguished at Yakutat by the hunters
and trappers Of that region from the black
and grizzly by the name of the st. Elias bear.
