The open season for shooting deer il
now on and will extend to the last day of
the month. The present snow makes 1t
especially propitious Tor capturing this
noble game, and it wouldn't be surprs-
ing to hear that some had been slaugh-
tered. Killing them with other than a
rifle, or gun propelling a single ball, is
prohibited, meaning thereby that no man
may shoot a deer with shotgun, and no
person NAV kill more than one in sea-
son, and that one must be male and
have horns. The fact is, the law should
forever prohibit the killing of deer in
Pennsylvania. The few specimens oi
this grand forest ranger that still remain
! should be allowed to roam at will.
The home of Jonathan Harp and wife
who lived 30 many years in South Brook
Vile, on Pickering street, Is practically
broken up. This fact was brought to our
mind one day last week, when we heard
of the marriage of their only remaining
daughter to Samuel h. Brosius. They
lived in Brookville about forty years
Now they are both dead, and all theiI
children are married. One daughter and
her husband are to remain in the old
home till next Spring, when they will &c
to their own home, and the home the
children knew so long will be entirely
broken up, and what belonged TO iathel
and mother will be divided among the
children. Two sons are married and live
in Marienville, one daughter lives in Oi
City, one in Brookville, and one neal
Stratton. .-Brookvill Democrat.

the ground along the lake shore anC
three feet at Wattsburg, Waterford ant
Ednboro. 1t came on top of mudd!
