Experience on the POcOro.
While hunting on the Pocono noun

Marsh was accompanied by Fred Hoey,
the pigeon shot, of Hollywood. N. J.
The men were separated by about
thirty rods and were leisurely beating
through the forest for partridges. Their
two dogs. pointers, were working along
ahead when one suddenly halted. He
stood growing and with hair bristling
and tail lowered, an attitude never as
sumed in the woods by bird dog un-
less in the presence OF big game or
dead body. Marsh was nearer than
Hoey to the dog and tried to call him,
but the pointer wouldn't bulge. An
ticipating the sight of something un-
usual, Marsh hurried toward the dog
and as he ran heard a loud crashing of
bushes and swapping of twigs. When
he reached the dog which was now
greatly excited and barking furiously.
three bears were seen by the hunter
clambering out of a small hollow and
up the mountain.

Marsh's gun was loaded with No s

were eight or nine rods away and scam

Marsh got bead on one of the two
smaller ones and let drive. His aim
was good and brought bruin to the
ground, where he lay writhing in agony

The animal was brought to Scranton

night and will be pardoned If ne tells
his friends how Ire and Marsh killed the

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

A merry Christmas attraction at the
Academy of Music will be Oliver Byron
supported by Kate Byron and their eX-
cellent company in The Ups and
Downs Of Life" The success of the
piece, which was assured from the
commencement, was partly due to the
splendid effects. The farcical comedy
part of the play consists of very anus
ing parties believing that they had cap
tisement in a newspaper. the contract
ing parties believing that hey had cap
tured respectively n lord and lady,
whereas one is q clerk and the other a
servant girl. The fun over the situation
Is immense and contributes consider
ably to the success of the play.
A very large and constantly increas-
ing proportion of our city's best play
goers will welcome with peculiar glad
ness the appearance of Kate ClaXton
and her company of distinguished
players at the rockingham Christmas
day, matinee and evening. This dis
tinctly American organisation repre-
sents with striking accuracy the pro-
gress Of the drama in this country,
Miss Claxton has worked with admir-
able care and intelligence and her in
fiuence upon our plays, our players and
our play-goers has been elevating and
refining. Sale Of beats opens this
morning at Q o'clock.
