SUNDAY CAMP MEETING.

The proposition to hold Sunday camp meeting at Pine Grove, Canaan, the coming summer has been met by much indignation and opposition by the Methodist ministers of the vicinity. Probably they fear that cool shades and breezes and plenty of company would prove too strong competitors of the churches Berkshire Courier.
 Not SO Brother Hinman, the members of this conference cannot conscientious ly or in loyalty to their conference do otherwise than to oppose the holding of a Sunday Camp Meeting. In the New York Conference, April 12, 1887 the following resolution was unamiously adopted:
 ''We declare ourselves as unalterable in opposition to Sunday Camp Meetings and that we will neither assist or attend where the gates are kept open and the Lords day is profaned by travel and and traffic in the name of religion.
 In the minutes of 1889 the following resolution appears:
 s'We greatly deprecate the custom of holding camp meeting over the Sabbath with open gates on that day, encourag- ing, as it does, Sunday excursions and forms of Sabbath desecration."

rRENToN's ESCAPED BEAR.
Kitty Hill Has Been Dodging Bullets in
 Parts of Jersey for Two Years.

Kitty Hill Has Been Dodging Bullets in Parts of Jersey for Two Years. There is bear in New Jersey that lives charmed life. She mingles more or less with civilization, but yet is her own mistress. This is the bear that created much havoc in Somerset, Mer- cer, Hunterdon and Burlington coun- ties, and seems to be bullet proof and trap wise. She is now giving the farm CTS of the upper part of Mercer county lively existence
 She is the same bear that escaped two summers ago from the Trenton l city park under sensational circum- stances. She was then cub, pur- chased for the park in the Pocono mountains by Councilman Edmund c. Hill, who started the little geological garden which delights the children of Trenton. When the bear arrived at the Clinton street station by express the box was roughly tumbled from the car and fell apart.
 The cub showed her teeth, and at once got the right of way. She dashed
 
 in the fence, entered the yard of the hotel near the depot. She proceeded through the kitchen and wandered into the barroom, which was at the time filled. The presence of the cub cleaned out the barroom.
 The cub followed to the street, but met with a reception of flying brick, and then she took refuge in the Mercer cemetery opposite the station, where she held the fort against several hun dred excited men and boys, and was finally lassoed by a colored man. The bear pit at the park was not yet ready for the cubs reception, so she was locked up in the barn, and the news papers, out of admiration for the preco- ciousness of the cub, called it Kitty Hill after Councilman Hill, of the park committee.
 Two days of confinement wore Kitty s temper, and one day Kitty unlatched the barn door and walked out. She reached the canal that winds it's way in front of the park and jumped in. The park guards gave lively chase, and Kitty saved her bacon by swim ming from one side of the canal to the other until she distanced them; then she took to the woods Since then she has been a veritable tourist, and has managed to keep out of the range of bullets and clubs and lived on the fat of the land She has disturbed the suburban quietness of many places, but defled all the ingenious plans of men to cap ture her. Her appearance in Mercer county, only a few miles from the park, is matter of surprise. Those who have seen her say that she is large and fat. She is now in the great Bear swamp, five miles above Trenton, where she is safe unless hunger causes her to wander. r.-Philadel Pre0.
