"A genuine American bald eagle,
"the hemblem Of this blarsted coun-
try" as Johnny Bull would put il,
was captured by Mr.. VIM. Bradish on
Friday morning last, near his place
on Hunter Run. The bird was on the
ground and as he passed near it, it
gave a slight scream, and SO near was
he that be could reach it with stick
he was carrying, which stunned it, and
another blow finished it. He brought
it to town and left il with DR.. Siggins,
who will have it set up. The bird
measures 5 feet 8 inches from tip to
tip, and is handsomely feathered out.
Mr.. Bradish says be saw this same
eagle % years ago near the same spot,
and nearly succeeded in getting it
then.
Last Thursday afternoon Judge
Cook, who had been attending court,
started for home, driving a span of
spirited, though not vicious, horses.
He was accomdanied by Mr.. Joseph
Hall of Barnett township. When
near the creek bridge they overlook a
threshing machine, and were driving
around TO pass it. They had almost
passed when the horses TOOK fright and
made a sudden spring forward and
sidewise, throwing the Judge and Mr..
Hall out of the buggy and over the
embankment a distance Of several
feet. Mr.. Hall escaped with only
severe shaking up, but the Judge was
unable for few moments to raise him.
self up. He was brought back to the
Lawrence House, and Drs. Morrow
and fowler we're summoned. They
discovered that the Judges right
shoulder was dislocated. After hard
struggle they succeeded in putting the
shoulder back in place, and getting
their patient in a comfortable state.
He was able to go home on Sunday
last. The team ran nearly to the top
of Tylersburg road hill, where it was
caught and returned uninjured.
The editor Of the Clearfeld
Journal has evidently taken day off
and gone hunting, and thus draws q
picture of the situation, which all
hunters will recognize at glance: In
hunting there are few things more
exciting than to chase a black or q
gray squirrel over the trees. There
he goes, so fast that he seems to be
flying! From twig to twig be skips so
nimbly that he seems to touch only
the leaves; now he makes flying leap
to the next tree and away he goes over
its top; another flying leap and he
takes to the ground, and like q race
horse makes for well.known hollow
tree. While all this has been going
on did you notice the excited nimrod ?
He grips his old cannon tightly in
both hands with eyes upturned rushes
blindly forward as though his life was
in peril; stumbles over logs, pokes
sticks in his eyes, scratches his hands
and face. and mayhap falls sprawliDg
upon the ground. He gathers himself
up and dashes on and just within easy
shot sees his game stop to look around
before leaping into his refuge. Bang
goes the gun and down rattles the
bark, and the squirrel-has peacefully
crowded into bis nest to laugh over
the fun aud remain until-well, until
nimrod's patience is exhausted and be
goes in search of another victim.
