gathered at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.

The party was gotten up as surprise
to "Jack', but we have been unable to
learn whether he was very much sur
prised, as his eyes are always found
open for things in the line OF surprises.
Those who were present report fine
supper and pleasant time generally,

which they all departed for their
homes.
Sixty-eight turkeys were distributed
to the widows of Emporium, says the
Press, whose bountiful benevolence
furnished the birds. 1t is inferred that
there are sixty-eight live widows in
Emporium boro, which does not speak
well for the old bachelors of that town
who are shirking plain duty in def
ance OF the scriptural injunction and
with selfish Indifference to the unequal
| distribution of the burden of taxation
for turkeys.-Potter Journal
What's the use of buying guns to
hunt with? When you find a bear
send for 3. J. Collins and his club.
! Last Friday q week he encountered a
she bear and two cubs and killed one
Of the cubs, as stated in our last issue.
/ Last Wednesday he treed the other
cub and then knocked it off the tree
and the dog held it till he came down
and finished it with his club. They
have since been looking for the old
bear and probably before another pa
per is issued they will have made it
bite the dust It's the bare truth we're
telling YOU'D Driftwood Gazette.
