Rossman and Birt. Bilger, arrived in Bellefonte with five fine deer, the result of six days hunting in the Green woods, Clearfield county. Three of this number were killed by Mr. Gentzel and one each by Mr. Horner and Rossman. Soon after starting out the first morning Mr. Gentzel fired three | shots and brought down two deer, one of them being a five.pronged buck, and later in the same day he shot another one-a record which few hunters ean boast of, killing three deer in one day. They report deer fairly plenty in that section, but the unfavorable, dry weath. er, made hunting very difficult.
