Falls.

| ———As an evidence that deer will be
quite plentiful this seuson is the fact that
quite a number have already been seen
not only in the mountains, but with herds
of cattle grazing in the fields. Up Bald
Eagle valley, in the neighborhood of Dix
station, three deer have been seen in the
past two weeks and they apparently were
as much at home in the fields asin the
woods. In various partsof Centre county
deer have been seen in fields adjoining
the mountains in greater numbers than
for some years. A noticeable fact is that
notwithstanding the large number of
bucks killed last year more than half the
deer seen out in the open recently have
been bucks, and bucks with very visible
horns, at that; which ought to be very
encouraging to the deer hunters.
