Early risers Monday morning were
startled by the appearance Of three bears
on the hillside west OF the village, papa
and mamma bear and one cub, who came
down to bask under our electric lights.
hunting party was speedily organized,
armed with guns enough to exterminate
the Spanish army. Lest the bears should,
after the familiar manner, turn out to be
animals of a kindlier nature, 1t was
thought best to remove ell doubt by view
ing them through field-glass. This done
and their bearsbip being fully esta blished,
the party set out with courage that fell
considerably when the proximity OF the
animals was at hand. A good deacon
climbed q tree to fix the precise locality OF
the bears while the Others stood on guard.
The deacon's remarks on descending will
not be recorded in the great book, we are
sure, and three black dogs will never
know just how near they came to an un-
timely end.
