Tue Huxrers ALL HoME AGAIN. —The
bundreds of hunters who spent the last
two weeks of November out on the moun-
tains in quest of deer have all returned
home aud the most of them shared in the
“spoils of the chase.” Notwithstanding
the fact that hunters were only permitted
to kill one deer each, and that a buck, the
number killed in Centre county this year
was about up to that of former years. In
fact very lew parties returned empty-
banded, a fact due to a large exten t to the
good tracking snow of the first few days of
the season. The Panthers of this place con-
stituted the only party bereabouts who
did not even get a smell of venison, as the
nearest they came to it was a sight of deer
tracks in the snow. Naturally, they were
considerably discouraged, and the hall
dozen rabbits aod one pheasant they se-
cured was poor consolation for not getting
a deer or bear and the members of the
party came bome one by one until there
were only four lelt and those broke camp
and returned to Bellefoute Saturday even-
ing. Jobo L. Knisely brought a little
raccoon along with bim aod if the kitten
proves entirely agreeable may make a pet
of is.
The Gentzel party returned on Saturday
evening with three deer, two good sized
bucks and a spike buck. Thomas H. Har-
ter on Monday received a spike buck from
Snow Shoe as his share of the game cap-
tared by the Chambers—Uzzle party. The
most successful hunting party heard of was
composed of W. L. Lucas and sons, Jesse
and Lemuel ; Samuel and Brady Luoas,
who wens ous in the neighborhood of Mo-
shannon and on the first day of the season
shot three deer. The second day they got
one and the third day one more, making a
deer for each man. The deer were all
bucks and weighed 192, 184, 165, 164 and
154 pounds respectively, or a total of 859
pounds of venison.
Pennsvalley hunters were unusually
successinl in their quest for deer in the
Seven mountains. So far as now reported
juet twenty-five deer and ten bear were
killed in that section of the county. The
biggest deer killed in the Seven mountains
was in MoBride’s Gap by the Reitz broth-
ers, it being an eight pronged buck weigh-
ing 220 pounds.
Among the successful hunting parties
who brought deer off the Seven mountains
were the following : The Rileys, of Boals-
burg, four deer and a bear ; the Modoos, of
Boalsburg, one deer ; Penn Hall party,
two deer ; Krader party, of Coburn, a bear ;
Wingers party, of Penn Hall, one deer and
five bear ; the Regulars, of Potters Mills,
ove deer ; the Deckers, of Potters
Mills, one deer ; Madisonburg party, two
deer ; Sugar valley party, one deer;
Shamokin party, at Paddy mountain, one
deer and three bear : Schuylkill Haven
pariy, in Poe valley, two deer ; Bradford
party, three deer ; Reitz brothers of Lin-
den Hall, two deer ; Homan party, of State
College, two deer ; the Horuersand Ker-
stetters, of Pleasant Gap, one deer. The
Roosevelt club, of Gatesburg, which was
in camp on the Six Mile Run near Philips
borg this year, returned without getting a
deer, although they bad several good
shots,
On Thaoksgiving day a party of young
men from Warriorsmark and vicinity went
out in the Barrens back of Centre Line and
on their first chase drove outa flock of
seven deer bat failed to get any of them.
This incident in itself is evidence that all
the deer are not on the mountains and
hunters might bave fared equally as good,
if not better, by confining their bunt to
the Barrens in Centre and Huntingdon
counties ; and the traveling would not be
near as hard or tiresome as hantiog on the
Alleghenies,
Two INCIDENTS OF THE HUNTING SEA-
$ON.— Peculiar incidents of the bunting
season are outcropping in various sections
of the State, some of which are as novel as
they are interesting. Two such incidents
have been brought to the attention of the
writer and are worth recording. A few
days after that big snow bad disappeared
aud the weather bad grown a little warm-
erone of the men as the Hayes Rou fire
brick plant was hunting on the topolfa
high mountain spur when he came across a
rattlesnake sunning itself on top of a flat
stone. Oneshot killed the reptile. The
man skioned the rattler and now has the
skin as prool of his story.
One day in the early part of last week a
young man went out on the mountains
back of Runville on she hunt of rabbits
snd pheasants. He was going along
through the woods when be heard a orash-
ing through the brush and coming directly
toward him he saw a huge cinnamon bear
with a muzzle on. Upon seeing him the
bear stopped, took a good look at the
thoroughly frightened man then shambled
off in an opposite direction. If the man’s
story is true the bear is undoubtedly one
that has escaped from some traveling
Italian and is now making its abode in the
woods, as cinnamon bears are not native of
this section and even if a stray one might
wander into the Pennsylvania mountains
it would hardly come up with a muzzle
on is.

MAY BEGIN WORK AT OxCE.—In last
week's WATCHMAN was given the partion-
lars of the purchase of the Green property
and water power at Milesburg by the bor-
ough of Bellefonte for the purpose of build-
ing a hydro-electric plans to light the
streets and pump the water for the town.
In the article it was statel that work on
the plant would not be begun before next
spring, which was the original plan, but
the question will be brought before coun-
cil as Monday evening's meeting as to the
advisability of proceeding with the work
at once.
The only season the question of waiting
until spring bad been considered was he-
cause it was thought it would be impossi-
ble to do the concrete work daring the
winter. On considering the question, how-
ever, at least some of the councilmen have
come to the conclusion that there could not
be a more opportune time to begin the
work than now. The very fact that the
water is lower now and will give them less
trouble than it will at most any other time
in the year is the strongest arguement in
favor of doing the work as soon as possible,
while cold weather will not affect the con-
orete work in any way whatever.
To build the dam will be no small job,
as the concrete breast will be 288 feet
in length, and about nine feet in height,
in including the foundation under
groond. And, as is will have to be of con-
siderable thickuess to make it durable it
will mean a good many cubic yards of solid
concrete. Il work is started on the plant
now it will enable the bhuailders to have it
completed and in operation by the first of
pext April, or thereabouts.

AraTHOUS FEVER SCARE IN CENTRE
CouNTY.—There was a small aphthous
fever scare in Centre county the past week
but fortunately it proved to be entirely un-
founded. It was all based on the fact that
last week a car load of cattle came into
Centre county and were distributed among
Mr. Gilliland, at Oak Hall; Mr. Huyet, at
Centre Hall, and Mr. Struble, at Zion.
The fact was noised abroad that the cattle
came from Baffalo, N. Y., and as thatis
where it is believed the disease was first
imported from into this State the state
officials got busy at once.
Dr. M. C. Church, of Wilkesbarree, one
of the staff of inspectors under Dr. Leonard
Pearson, state veterinarian, came to Belle-
last Saturday evening and on Sunday drove
to Oak Hall and Centre Hall. The im-
ported cattle were duly inspected and
found to be sound in every particular.
From Centre Hall he wens to Zion where
he worked until dark examining the cattle
received by Mr. Strable, going down Mon-
day morning to complete the work. He
left Bellefonte on the 1.05 train Monday
but before going stated that there was no
aphthous fever in Centre county now nor
symptons of she disease. The cattle
received by the above gentlemen, by the
way, did not come from Buffalo, but from
Chicago, Ill., so that there is no likelihood
of their being affeoted.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN.—There are
many happy thoughts expressed io verse in
“The Gingerbread Man,” which Frederio
Rankin and A. Baldwin Sloane offer(to the
public through Nixon & Zimmerman.
Although it is bard to partioularize any one
song as good, for every one is good, ‘John
Dough,” will, perhaps, become the most
popular among the whistiers. ‘‘Beantifal
Land of Bon Bon” and the ‘“‘Mazie"’ song
will find most supporters because of their
dainty choruses, while ‘‘Every Little
Something,” “‘Giugin-ginger Boy,”
“Queen of My Dreams,” ‘‘Naursery
Rbymes,” “Evil Eye” and “Do You
Believe in Santa Clacs’’ are rich in mel-
ody, wit and hnmor. “The Gingerbread
Man” abounds in wonderfal spectacular
effects and beautiful stage pictures. The
most ingenions of stage contrivances base
made it possible for a silver cresent to float
through the air, between the points of
which reolines a remarkably pretty girl,
who in a remarkably sweet voice singe
“Moon, Moon, Moon,’ aided by Jack
Horner and a big chorus. ‘The Ginger-
bread Man’ with the same organization
that last week was at the Garrick theatre,
Philadelphia, will appear at the opera
house in this place next Tuesday evening,
December 8th, and you don’t want to miss
the show.

Vivip TRAVEL SKETCHES.—The new
program to be offered by Lyman H. Howe
at the opera house Wednesday evening,
December 9th, is composed of a series of
the most vivid travel sketches imaginable:
In Naples you see the Neapolitian at home,
on the streets, as the markes, and at church.
There wie scenes of ineffable beauty shown
on an automobile tour through Savoy,
and Niagara in winter seems so real that
one feels like reaching op and touching
the monster icicles under the falls. There
are very human scenes in India and Sicily,
and a most startling series of a 10 mile
Steeplechase in Eogland. Itis crowded
with all she thrilling incidents the most
blase spectator could wish for, though no
rider suffered serious injury.
