of the evening, however, was the presenta-

ton of her faithful work in the union.

Bear Seen on Peaked Mountain.

A bear was seen on Peaked mountain
last week by G. II. Evans and Frank Gray,
who were out hunting, and for the benefit
of those who thought the object seen might
not have been bear it may be we'll to re-
late an incident that occurred few hours
afterward. Alice Franklin, one of the
seminary students, who drives from her
home in the morning and rooms in the
village during the day, was driving home
at night with her brother along the road
on this mountain, when the horse sud
denly snorted loudly and refused to go a
step farther. They used the whip, but
that had no effect and it then wheeled
about very suddenly, throwing out things
that were in the wagon, while they just es-
capped the same fate. They then returned
to the village and spent the night here.
Mr.. Franklin has owned the horse IL years
and nothing of the kind had ever hap
pened before and the horse had always
been kind and reliable.
