On Friday last a large she bear was kil

pears that about two weeks ago a gentle
man from Pittsburgh came as tar as Sang
Hollow, on a huntine expedition and
waiked across the country to the neighbor
hood of Millcreek, where be shot and kill
ed a cub bear. The mother appeared upon
the scene, and he was compelled to depart

Immkksk and very destructive fires
have been and perhaps are still raging in
the mountains. Advices have reached us
of great destruction of timber in the neigh
borhood of Orantsville, Mil., on both Sides
of tbe old ISalional Road, the ravages
were great. One gentleman says on one
occasion tbe flames traveled faster than a
man could run, and some persons narrow
ly escaped destruction. No lives have
been lost we are glad to say, up to this
time. On Sunday, a threatening and des
tructive fire broke out on Winding Ridge,
which endangered the properties ot Mrs.
Julia Augustine, Louis Saussman, Alfred
Whetstone and others. Uaptain Allen
Nicklow gave tbe alarm and tae liolj boys
ot Petersburg!! and vicinity, rallied and
soon suppressed the flames. It has broken
out since, but now tbe danger is passsed.

from bouse to house exhibiting samples of
cotton goods, . etc I bese they propose to
sell tor about one-quarter ot their real
value, and of course tske a large number
of orders, therefore, with tbe promise to
deliver the goods soon. Then they ex
hibit a lot of cloths and casslmeres, almost
worthless, which they sell for a big price,
delivering the goods on the spot and re
ceiving tbe cash therefor. Ot course the
cotton goods are never forthcoming, while
the swindlers have disappeared with the
money they received for worthless cloths.

A few years ago there was a Preacher
named Jordan who had a joint charge in
Somerset and Fayette Counties. It was a
time of great political excitement and con
sequent ill-feeling, and tbe reverned gen
tleman became involved in disputes with
portions of his Dock. While preaching
his farwell sermon to the Somerfield con
gregation where he was well liked, he
spoke with great pathos of the approaching
separation, that the time would soon be
here when he must leave them, must bid
them farewell, never in all probability to
meet again. "Thank the Lord !" was the
loud and earnest response.of a prominent
brother familiarly called "Dad." On
mature reflection he decided it was a very
good response, only he slipped it in at the
wrong place in the sermon. All can fancy
the Preachers feelings, although he was
satisfied the brother didn't mean it.

Thk following account of singular oc
enrrence we clip from the columns of tbe
Brook ville Republican:
A short lime since, a young lady, a res
idmi of this place, experienced a creeping
sensation in her nose after she had retired
for the night, and all efforts to remove the
annoyance was without the desired effect,
the difficulty remaining for several days,
merely changing to a location farther up in
the nostril. At length it seemed to psss
down into the throat, causing a choking
sensation, and finally disappeared. Im
mediately after its disappearance the vic
tim experienced acute pains in the stom
ach, and called medical assistance in vain,
lite only thing that gave any relief being
copious doses of brandy, which failed to
produce any. of the ysusl effects. Finally
severe vomiting ensued, and after one
whole night's suffering, and the patient
giving up hopes of life, the cause of tbe
trouble was removed, and an examination
found ft to be a small particle i f blood and
mailer, in the centre of which was a com
moa sired black spider. Evidently the
brandy saved the young lady's life.
Bt a special act of the Legislature of
Kentucky, March 18, 1871, the trustees of
uc moiic morary oi tnat State, located
at Louiivill, were authorized to give gift
concerts in its aid. Four of these concerts
have already been held, and the fifth and
last is bow positively and unequivocally
announced to take place on the 30th of
Nov. 1874. As no other concert ean ever
be held under this charter, the managers
have planned it upon a scale of unprece
dented liberality. No less than 13,500,000
ars to be distributed among the ticket
holders, by lot. under the supervision ot
Ex-Oov. Thos. . BramleUe, associated
with several leading citizens of Kentucky.
The highest prize is 1250,000, and this

tention to the Iraportaiicijoi'giiardiugtnore
jealously our sources of water supply.
Throughout the M. Idle and Eastern States
during tbe present season, almost every j
city or t wn of any considerate size, has
lound us usual supply oi water considera
bly reduced. Although the past summer
has not been as dry ai some previous sea
sons, the water supply ns oeen less by
reason of the dwindling away or entirely
drying up of the streamsor springs. While
in some instances tins trouoie may ne una
voidable, in others it is the result of a lack
of nidicious foresight and care.
Much attention has been given during
the past few years to the preservation of
forests and their influence upon tae fertil
ity of the Burruundinz sections of omntry
These two questions are closely allied and
the time has come when in all the older
settled districts it becomes the imperative
duty of every good citizen to consider
them.
Ye Olden Time. Hundreds of Som
erset County people remember John
Moore, who was for years confined in our
jail as a dangerous lunatic John's grett
gift was swearing. He could swear longer,
(order, faster, use more original oaths,
with fewer repetitions than any man we
ever heard or heard of.- The cussin that
Simon Sucirs gave the Bank OlHcer on
which the doughty Captain prided himself
would nave been mere by-play for John.
He occasionally uttered a good thing
and very frequently odd things that de
served preservation. Towards the close
of his confinement he took up tbe notion
of going to China and selected the writer
to accompany him, "to help workout sal
vation." ilis earnestness rendered it dia
agreeable if not unsafe to cross him, and
the situation was decidedly unpleasant.
One evening he came up with a most de
termined and business like air announced ;
that, "Next Tuesday we would start for
China, by if it sook the hair off. "
"Ah ! John, how can we ever get across
the Ocean?"
"Why we'll cut it up into rivers and
then bndgo it" by said he, after-a
puzzled pause of a few uiomcn's,
giving
a few
great emphasis to the assertion, by
rounded and red-hot oaths.
Somk time ago Mr. T. B. A. David,
of Telegraphic fame, was residing near
Confluence for the benefit of his greatly
impaired health. Among other things
forwarded from the city was a piece of
machinery that was left on the platform ot
the station for some days and attracted con- L
siderabie attention.
Our mercantile friend Ross, whose
knowledge of machinery is equal to Mark
Twain's of Agricultural, was among the
first who noticed and commented on the
new churn. He decided that it was
entirely too large for a "family with only
ene eote." Anxious to have his orthodox
opinions on churns supported by competent
mechanical authority, he called .the Street
Commissioners and others, they decided
it too large, entirely too large. One of
them demonstrated that by a few changes
in the cranks and crooks, he could make
it churn faster, gather the butter better
besides makinz the butter more solid.
In the midst of bis Animated lecture on
butter making, illustrated by the machin
ery oelore tuem, Mr. David came on the
platform and asked the Agent if his wash
ing machine had come. There it i Sir!
said the Agent, but its in danger of being
transmografied. The crowd quietly but
mourniuiiy retired, and have ceased to
lecture on churns.
Makt of our readers will purchase frui
trees this tall. There are two ways of
doing it. The planter who knows just
what ne wants will probably make out his
list or order, and send it to some reliable
nurseryman whose character for intelli
gence and integrity has been fully estab
lished. 1 he trees will be returned secure
ly packed, so that when tbe package is
oened they will be as fresh as the hour
they were dug from the soil. If the plant
er lias already an orchard, be w ill proba
bly instruct the nurseryman to make not
suU:.tuiions in caseany particular sort is ex
hausted. Those who are planting new
orchards may it they choose direct that sub
stitutes may be made, say to an extent of
ten or twelve per cent. 1 his mode of or
dering from nurseries is usually the best
way, wnere tue owner knows when and
how to order, and is willing to take, the
trouble. But most planters will choose to
buy of traveling agents. Mauy of these
are trustworthy men, employed by good
nurseries. Be careful to distinguish be
tween these and irresponsible, smooth
tongued peddlers.. See that their creden
tials have a recent date, and that they can
show sufficient written proof that they atv
employed by good men. You can author
ize them to substitute ten per cent, if you
think besL This is an easy way to nave
your trees brought to your door.
Wx have harped ou this subject so often
without effecting anything that we feel
sort of discouraged, but we'll try one
more tune before we bust the instrument
of a thousand strings. If a man were order
ed to find tatty towns in tbe State which
are well supplied with fire apparatus the
first town be would light down on would
be Somerset Why our means for fighting,
fire cannot be surpa ised anywhere and can
be equaled by very few places. Lei us see.
1 es, every family in town possesses at least
one water bucket : then there are several
rain barrels, huge, monstrous rain barrels
that once done duty as the half of an oil
barrel. We must not forget the ladder. Oh
no, it would not do to forget that, it weighs
about two hundred pounds and would
reach about half way to a ducks back, this
is about all ; no, we have fearless hearts
and strong hands who do their duty nobly.
out lsn t it time to cry, "nolo, enough.
Isn't this being penny wise that we may
waken up some of these cold winter morn
ings to find ourselves pound foolish.' In
heaven's name if the borough is too impecu
nious to furnish and sustain a tire compa
jy let us make such arrangements as will
st least allow us to make use of our water
buckets. How would it do to sink largo
cisterns in different parts of the town In
order that the supply of water may not
grow short as it has on several occasions?
If the authorities are - unable or unwilling
to take the proper steps let our citizens
take hold of the matter. In this not one
but all are interested.
Disastrous Firk. At three o'clock
last Thursday morning the people ot our
usually quiet little town were rudely star
tled from their slumbers by the cry of
fire. Notwithstanding the fact that by
far the largest part of the male population
of the burg had been up to the "wee sma'
hours syant tbe twal," waiting on election
returne the two previous nights, five min
utes alter the alarm was sounded hundreds
of them were on the spot The fire.was
first discovered in Prof. . Shepperson's
barber shop from whence it was quickly
communicated to the adjoining buddings.
In less than an hours time the barber shop,
Hoover & Licbty's Grocery and ware
house. Cook & Beerits' Grocery and Feed
Store and Wike & Young's Meat Market
were reduced to ashes. The fire was com
municated from Cook & Beerits' Grocery
to the Mammoth Block and in a few mo
ments the northern end of the building
was in flames. Through the strenuous ex
ertions of our citizen the fire was soon
checked and confined to its original limits.
Hoover & l,ichty and Cook & Beerits
each saved portions of their stock. Wike
& Young saved their entire stock, . .
Follow ing js an estimate ot the losses
sustained ;
Cook & Beerits $3,000. Insured for
$4,000.
Hoover & Lichty $1,200 and all the
books of the firm. No insurance. ;
IL F. Schell $350. No insurance.
Prof. Shejtpereon $400. Insured for
$350.
Win. II, Welfley's - loss can not be as
certained as yet, but will spproximate
$200. Mr. Welfley's loss being principal
ly carpets, furniture and books. Schell
Kimmel had everything portable removed
from their bank. Some of the adjoining
buildings were ignited by the intense heat
and at one time it was feared that a gener
al conflagration was imminent A keg of
powder in the store-room of Hoover & Lich
ty exploded with tremendous force, shat
tering several large panes of glass in a
store-room on the opposite side of the
street There are several rumors afloat as
to the origin ot the fire, though it is gener
ally conceded that it was the work ot an
incendiary.

Eds. Herald. Leaving Cincinnati! at
9 o'clock Friday morning, we arrived
safely in Columbus about A o'ciock the
same evening and put up at the Neil House.
Columbus is situated in Jhe midst oi a
perfectly .level plain about twenty miles
in extent in the neautitul valley oi ttie
Sciotr, and is surrounded by one of the
best agricultural regions of the slate, in
fact this valley is often fondly called by its
inhabitants Jie Eden of the West.
Through the kindness ot II. IL Dering
and Henry Menett of the General Ticket
Agent's Department of the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati! and St. Louis Railroad we were
enabled to see the sights of the place. As
a matter of course the first thing the atten
tion of a stranger is called to is the Siax;
House. It stands in or near the centre of
the city. The building is of fine cut grey
stone with entrances from the North,
Fas', 8-juth and West If is very Ptt'e
higher - than our Court House ancV the
hugeness of its proportions give it a
rather squatty appearance, typical we sup
pose of the early settlers ot the State,
squatters. Tbe building is surrounded
with beautiful grounds. As you enter the
rotunda on your rlsjht is a marble statue
ot a female figure; we cannot , recall just
now what it is intended to represent, bi t
its distinguishing characteristic impresses
tue observer as being more forcible than
elegant. Directly across the rotunda from
this statue is a painting, by Powell, com-
memoratireof Perry's victory on Lake
Erie. It is an immense picture; the boat
appears to rise and fall on the swell ot the
waves, while the forms of Commodore
Perry and his seamen stand out with
wttn such life like distinct ncss as to startle
the observer. On the right of the southern
entrance is the flag room. Here are pre
served all the old battle and regimental
nags carried by Ohio regiments in the dif
ferent fights, through which they have pas
sed, of some, scarcely the staff remains
while others are scarcely touched. Here
also are the offices of the Governor, Audi
tor General and other state officials. The
people of the Buckeve State may well be.
as they justly are, proud of their Capitol.
rassing out of the capitol grounds we
wended our war towards the Assvlum for
deaf and dumb children. It is a larire.
roomy building and fitted up with all the
modern comforts and conveniences, beins
surrounded by ample groun ls.. It is in-
ueeu a Bpieuuui monument to tue ueneii-
cence ot the state government of Ohio.
The cumber of inmates is quite largo, some
of whom are very apt scholars, being lul
ly equal intellectually to children who are
t!ie possessors of the gift of gab. Then
there is the Lunatic Assy him, which ranks
among the first institutions of the kind in
this country.
Columbus is truly a citr of mattnificent
distances. The points of interest beinsr
few and I w between. The streets are all
perfectly straight, not the slightest ind'ici
tion of a curve is to be found anywhere.
The good people of Columbus are particu
larly prouu of the appearance ot Broad
street, and well they may be ; as lis name
tnuicales, it is a broad street;, along either
cum is a row ol beautinil shade trees, then
there is a carriage drive wide enough for
two carriages to drive abreast, followed
by another row of trees on each side whjle
between these two lust rows is a road
bmad enough for four vehicles abreast
making three drives boardered by four
rows of trees on this street.
This is a busy little city. Situated here
are the workshops of the Pan Handle and
C. C. & I. Railroad Companies. We do
not think that but one or two cities in the
Union of the same size do more business.
We Pennsylvania's were surprised at
the result of the elections in this stale, but
not half so much ss were the republicans
here who heartily curse their own apathy
and side issues. The Democrats are jubt
lent and there old corn fed roosters crow
most lustily. But enough ofthi3 tor the
present - - Respectfully,
Ned.
