A genuine American bald eagle, "the hemblem of this blarsted coun try," as Johnny Bull would put il, was captured by Mr. Wm, Bradish on Friday morning last, near his place on Hunter Run. Tbe bird was on the ground and as he passed near it, it gave a slight scream, and so near was he that he could reach it with a stick he was carrying, which stunned it, and another blow finished it. He brought it to town and left it with Dr. Siggins, who will have it set up. The bird measures 5 feet 6 inches from tip to tip, and is handsomely feathered out. Mr. Bradish says he saw this same eagle 23 years ago near tbe same spot, and nearly succeeded in gelling it then. Last Thursday afternoon Judge Cook, who bad been attending court, started for home, driving a span of spirited, though not vicious, horses. He was accomdanied by Mr. Joseph Hall of Barnett township. When near the creek bridge they overtook a threshing machine, and were driving around to pass it. They had almost passed when the horses took fright and made a sudden spring forward and sidewise, throwing the Judge and Mr. Uall out of the buggy and over tbe embankment a distance of several feet. Mr. Hall escaped with only a severe shaking up, but the Judge was unable for a few momenta to raise him self up. He was brought back to the Lawrence House, and Drs. Morrow and Towler were summoned. They discovered that the Judge's right shoulder was dislocated. After a bard struggle tbey succeeded in putting the shoulder back in place, and gettiog their patient in a comfortable state. He was able to go home on Sunday last. Tbe team ran nearly to the top of Tylersburg road hill, where it was caught and returned uninjured. The editor of the Clearfield Journal has evidently taken a day off and gone hunting, and thus draws a picture of the situation, which all hunters will recognize at a glance: In buntine there are few things more exciting than to chase a black or gray squirrel over tbe trees. There he goes, so fast tbat he seems to be flying! From twig to twig be skips so nimbly that he seems to touch only the leave; now be makes a flying leap to the next tree and away he goes over its top; another flying leap arid he takes to the cronnd, and like a race horse makes fur a well-known hollow tree. While all this bas been going on did you notice tbe excited niuirod? He grips bis old cannon tightly in both haods with eyes upturned rushes blindly forward as though his lifo was iu peril ; stumbles over logs, pokes sticks in his eyes, scratches his haods and face, and mayhap falls sprawling upon the ground. He gathers himself up and dashes on and just within easy shot sees his game stop to look around before leaping into bis refuge. Bang ! goes tbe gun and down rattles tbe bark, and tbe squirrel bas peacefully crowded into bis nest to laugh over the fun and remain until well, until nimrod's patience is exhausted and be goes iu search of another victim. "The Housekeeper's Friend," is the title of a work we have received from tbe ladies of tbe Presbyterian Church of Tidioute, Pa. It contains nearly 200 pages of recipes fur cooking and household hints arranged in such manner tbat the ingredients of any cake or dessert can be seen at a glance, It is substantially bound in full leatb er and in such a way that it will lie open at any page while in use. Tbat tbe recipes are "right" is proved by the individual endorsement by name of many of the housekeepers of tbat thriving Boro. There are cook-books and cook-books, but iu contents, ar rangement aud binding we believe tbat Ibis one "takes the cake," while its directions properly followed will pleasurably fill tbe "long felt want." We advise our housekeepers who want something new, dainty, original and reliable to assist in appeasing the de mands of buogry mankind, to remit $1.25 by money order or postal note to Mrs. E. B. Grandin, Tidioute, Pa and receive a copy of this book, car riage paid.

Pursuant to call of Chairman Sig- worth the Republican County Commit tee met at ex-Chairman Sawyer's of fice on Wednesday evening last. All the townships were represented, either by tbe regularly elected committee men or their proxies. Sickness in the family of Mr. Sigworlh made it im possible for him to be present, and J. E. Wenk was selected to preside at the meeting. Tbe first matter to be called up was Ibe selection of a can didate for County Surveyor, to take tbe place on the ticket made vacant by the declination of Judge Irwin to accept the candidacy. Two names were proposed, II. C. Wbittekin and F. Proper. A ballot was had and resulted, 6 fur Proper and 5 for Wbit tekin, whereupon Mr. Proper was de clared the nominee of the party. The matter of tbe selection of a Secretary of the County Committee was left with the Chairman. The outlook for tbe fall campaign was touched upon, and from tbe talk of those present it was found that the party will be in first class fighting trim wben the ball opens, and tbat another victory will be placed to its credit wben tbe election comes around. Tbe Committee adjourned to meet at tbe call of the Chairman. German Hill. Rev. R. J. Graetx has returned from an extended visit through West Vir ginia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan.

John Martz, one of the most well-to-do farmers of Richland townxhip, has on his farm an apple tree which we think hard to beat. The tree is of the Spitxouburg variety and measures ten inchos In diam eter at the butt and the limbs spread 36 feet in diameter. Six years ago there were 63 bushels of apples tuken from it and four years ago 69 bushels. Two years ago about -10 bushels were taken from it, and this year it Is full and, from its ap pearance, will measure bushels thaa any previous year. Emlenton fi'eun. Notice to Settle.
