There was an exciting bear hunt in South
Litchfield on the 2d instant. A correspon
dent of the Athens. Gazette gives the follow
ing particulars: ''The track was , first dis
covered near the residence-of W. A. Sny;
der, Esq.; and being of mammoth size, the . ,
alarm was soon heralded through the
neighborhood, :when Daniel and Burt Camp
bell, Emery and Henry Goff, W. Mills, W.
A. Snyder, and several others rushed from
their houses;barns, fields and 'w orkshops
quickly arming themselves with swords,
pistols, guns, and pitchforks, with several
well trained blciodhcrtuids, were soon in hot
pursUit. As if was a very rainy day; the
trail was easily, followed by . those old and
experienced epos' hunters. They soon be
gan.to gain upon his bearship, (Which fact
they could easily ascertain by the
• warmness
of the track in the inud hOles.) As the ex
citeMent grew': more , and more intense,
things began to 'look desperate, and it was
feared by some that more than :one bride
heart would fall a victim to their reckless
ness. Just as all believed the 'chase was•
near its end, and each one pale and tremb
ling was warning his neighbor to be more
cautious, fortunately they. were .infiwzned
by Mr. George Goff, that they *ere follow
ing the tracks Of Esq. Snyder's big New
foundland dogi; and which proved to be a
fact, as they backed and. found him peace
fully reposing on the porch of his master.
It isn't exactly safe to'say 'bear track" in
theyresenee of shy of that party, and we

The post martens 'examination *n the case
of J. Monroe Smith Inutile at the request of
friends, was held on Monday, at 2p. in.
Dr. Wj D. Wey, of Elmira, perforthed the
operation under the direction of his father
Dr. W.' C. Wey, and there were present as
assistants and witnesses of the operation,
R G. Tracy, physician in duttge; Dr.,Car
rier, of (the County House, Dr. Paine, of
Troy; Dr. Randall, Of Forksville and Dr.
Gray, of Sylvania, aU of whom concurred
in the decision of the case. It was discov
ered that a schirruslcancer of , the Stomach
had formed' near the piloria orifice, the
walls of which had hecome thickened and
hardened. A large Ulcer had formed about ;
two inches from the pylorus. , The whole
mucous membrane - U , as congested, showing .
long, continued inflainmatiotT, Dr. Wey
took the cancer' hoMe- for analysis. This
-ease', which baffled such masters of dia.-
gnosis as Dr. fit Costa and was perplexing
to the medical skill-of -all whO were conk
stilted justiflestlui conclusions of Dr. Trach ,
who long ago'. decided that the symptoms
were those of a cancer of the stomach:
The post mortem in, the case of Mrs. Ayers
who died Saturday, last, revealed a similar
state of affairs, only More extensive, the
whole thickness of the ; walls of the pylorus
being affected with I cancer, and the can
cerous grciwth mittens:Oil:lg the- external

another one of those birthAaY surprise
parties that are both pleasing and profitable
to all who attend; in as much as the ties of

friends and neighbors are . always made the
stronger by such gatherings when rightly
conducted and crowned with success, (as
the ono was to which we now refer) was
had at the house of Ai. M. Mott, in. Gran
ville, on Saturday, Auip sth, ;1882, to honor
his Wife, Cyntha, on the imniversary of her
57th birth-day', awl to her it Was a perfect
surprise, althOugh there Was present 'over_
one hundred and forty persons (counting
some children) that had been previously in
vited;•amang whom were, brothers and sis
ters, nieces; nephews, uncles, aunts, cons-
ins, friends and neighbors, not only from
their town, but from Leßoy, Alba, Armenia,
Troy and Burlington. All . the family that .
Mi.. and Mrs. Mott have of.tbeir own is one
son, who is married 'end' now practicing
medicine * Miami Co., Eames, so' that the
burden of the work in getting up this party
fell invAhram, and, when asked by Esquire
Putnam, who over thirty-six years ago pro
nounced Aibnon and Cyntha husband and
wife, how he managed to - keep it from his
wife, replied by sayiog that he done it by
geting all itheneighbors to help. And the
crow:Arena in making the surprise a suc
cess was iierfornied thus: Now -the night
Were thel,party, her brother Ears - (who by
the by .ver y mueli - resembles Major Seeley)
crane and bought (as Mrs. Mott supposed) a
nice fat lamb of Abram and before going
away invited them to mine over the next
day and eat roast lamb with ther brother
Cyrus, who is soon to start West. So on
the`nunning of the sth they done up, their
chores and went over, but when they got
there found that the visit at tams. was
PostpOned, and he and his fatally were just
start* away. Now at this kind of treat
ment Abram pretended to be Very much
displeased and his wife felt truly grieved,
but they turned around and followed them.
But Cynths did' not smell the . roast lamb
which she wan following, nor (as the old say
ing is) the rat either until she came in
sight of her home and sr her house and
yard filled with friends sail neighbors. But
sheyielded gracefully and midst smiles and
tears owned that, for 'grace at least, she
was beat. Mrs. Mott satthe recipient jof
several very nice • andinseful preserits,
which ,she received with thinks. And
while the lamb, and lote of other vied
things, vide being spread! upon tables in
the back yard, all were gay and cheerful
and to the proper time Elder J. L. Phoenix,
who was present, was called for, and fitted .
the occasion with a few well timed remarks,
i'arad then dinner, at which all 'performed
well their part, 'and after dinner was all
over, came the separation which was sad,
yet all seemed well pleased with 'the day
thus spent. ANON,

SUICIDE
Clara Dibble, aged about eighteen years,
daughter of Joel Dibble, of Burlington,
committed suicide by cutting her throat
with a razor, on Sunday' last. • The par-
tieulars of the sad affair are about as fo
-
lows:
•
The young woman' had been in poor
health for some time, and ;several .months
ago came to this place for .treatmbnt by
Mrs. Dr. Coverdalp; She boarded with
Morgan .Waters, near the Graded School
building, and was in . the habit. of walking
to Mrs. Coverdale's residence on.such days
as she received treatment. For some little
time until a few - days previous to her death
she thought she was improving in health:
For a few days before taking her life 4e
appeared to be very despondent and down-
cast, but neither Mr. Waters nor any of his
family had any.idea that she was laboring
under an aberration of . mind or contem-
plated the taking of her own life.
About 10 o'clock Sunday morning she left
the hbuse of Mr. Waters; saying she was
going to take a walk and might not return
until after , seeing Dr. 'Coverdale, with
whom she had an appointment at 11 o'clock.
Not appearing at dinner,' investigations
*ere made, disclosing the fact that she had
not been to the doctors, nor !was she to be
found at any of the neighlxirs. Word was
sent ti'? Burlington, apd hest parents came
immediately in the evening to assist in the
search for the missing one.
Monday morning searching pasties were
organized, and about 9 o'clock the body of
I the unfortunate girl was found, in the'
woods neai M. C. Mercer & Co.'s powder
house, just vest of the Borough. She was
E'seated near'Ahe base of a tree, the right
arm thrown partly ; around the tree, and
the head bent forward. A razor was found
near her right hand. She was dressed in
plaid 'gingham, and on her lap was a red.
knit shawl upon which rested a pocket
looking-glass. her hat and - tie were laid
carefully at her left side. There -was no
indications of a struggle, and it was quite
evident that she, died in a few moments
after the infliction of the wound.
A coroner's jury was summoned by Jus
tice Codding, and was composed of the fol
iowing named gentlemen: Wm. L. Martin,
John J. Spalding, 4. N. Hayes, H. T. Gray,
0. E. Bennett and 4 W. S. Mace:
An esuisisustkin of ihrs body disclosed
the fact that the head was almost severed
from the body, being attached to it only by
the vOrtebrat and the skin at the back of
the neck. The razor was one with which
Mr. Waters had . shaved but a few udnutes
before Clara left the house. The verdict of
the jury was as follows:
That Clara Dibble, late of. ,Burlington
twp., residing temporarily in Towanda
borough for medical treatment, aged about
18 years, left her boarding place, at Morgan
Waters' - on Popular street in said borough,
about 10 o'clock, a. m., of Sunday August
13,.A. D. 1882, saying she would take a
walk, and at the township of Towanda, in
said county, on the eastern part of land
known as the Watkins farm in a grove
of forest wood, between the hours
of ten o'clock in the forenoon and two
o'clock in the afternocin of said day, August
13, 1882, during a temporary loss of reason,
the said Clara Dibble did, with a razor, in
filet with her own kind, on her throat, a
mortal wound of which she then and there
immediately died.
After the inquest the body .was prepared
for burial and taken to Burlington for in
terment. In the preparing of the body for
burial it was - discovered that deceased had
previously made an attempt to take her
life by opening-the veins in one of herarms.
She was a well ,educated, refined young
lady. Her,parents have the sympathy of
all in their terribli? bereavement.
A Neu Vesnelery for Teseauda.
Every citizen _of Towanda is painfully
conscious of the necessity for a new and
larger cemetery for the place. The refusal
of an admirable piece of land for the pur
pose, conceded to be the best in this vicinity,
has been procured, and, if sufficient num
ber of pledges can be procured, an silo
elation will immediately be incorporated
and a cemetery laid out. We hope the
plan will meet with a hearty and general
response from the people, and if so, we will
soon have a cemetery which we may justly
feel proud of. It is an excellent feature
of the plan the there is no private specula
tion or profit t 4 be derived from it, as is
shown in the following subscription for lots:
"W As,' It is proposed to buy the
western part of the farm belonging to the
heirs of the late Dr. H. C.-, Porter, in the
northern part of Towanda,Borough,sadjoin
lug lands of Mrs. Kingsbury, 'Joseph.Poweil
' and others, containing 23 ;acres and 9 per
ches, being all of that farm west of the or
chard, for a cemetery; and before doing so
it is desirable to get the approbation and to
secure the patronage of as many of the
citizens of Towanda possible for the seheme:
We the undersigned promise and agree with
James Macfarlane and Williain Dittric . h,
provisional trustees of said cemetery, that
in consideration of the agreement hereto of
thb other subscribers, and of the purchase
being made,of said land, and a ceme te
company being incorporated and • ,
and ground . laid out in lots,. we severally
agree that we will , each big of said, cor
poration and pay for a lot Woad -cemetery
for burial purposes of the valuation of not
hies dam fifty dollars or the sums set op
posite to our respective names. ,If neces
sary, the right to the choice of tote to be
determined among , the subscribers by loti.
or by'auction to the highest bidder, after
the ground is laid out, when 'this subscrip
tion is to be payable and deeds made free
from • all _ encumbrances, subject to the
general rules of the cemetery. Every
owner of a lot fully paid for .shall have a'
vote at'tie annual election of directors, and
shall be eligible without regard to . sex. It
is distinctly understood that all the real
and personal"estate of said cemetery com—
pany shall inure to the benefit of all the lot
owners, and shall not be. held or used for
private or corpoisste profit. The surplus
funds, after pay.ihg the debts - and expenses,
shall be applied to the embellishment of• the
cemetery, and the preservation and, im
provement of it in a manner consistent With
the design and purpose of the corporation."
Special Teachers! Insdliutes.
As it is not:deeMed advisable, under ex
isting ciramis tances to hold the ensuing
Teachers' Institute longer than December
18th to 234 , 7 -haltthe time of previous ses-
moss—end 'as graded schools ,'enly are in
session during. September and pctober,
teachers generally approve of holding fewer
fall 'examinations, and „devoting the time
gained to] special Teachers' Institutes, in
which theleachers' qualification can be bet
ter determined, and the most necessary find
desirable instruction given..
Stlssions will be held as follows: Sayre,

When we!met last May at Wilt's office ; jt
was agreed to agitate the Encampment
thrinzgh the Towanda papers, and that
through the summer Whits been,done with

we' would have called attention to it long

thata committee be appointed to, meet some
person interested in the works, and try to

condition of affairs—
Councilman Porter inquired of Mr. Peck if
anyperson was legally authorized to act for
the water works. .
Mr. Peck replied that he. did not know.
Mr. Porter objected to the appointment of a
committee to consult with., irresponsible per
sons: Parties connected with the works ad

legally authorized head to the concern, and be
could see no possible benefit to result from

Mr. Porter was sustained • in' his views. by
all the members present, and. the subject was
dropped.
Great complaint having been made of the
manner of sprinkling Main street, - which it is
alleged 114 difficult to cross during the early
_pan of the day, and' also. carriages .require
daily washing'in consequence of the, muddy
condition of the street, it was therefore Re
solved. That the searetary be directed to no
tify Mr. Walborn that he mast change his
mode of sprinkling; that instead of turning
on an immense quantity of water in the morn
ing,with ii view to making time elsewhere
during the day, he must hereafter proceed to
sprinkle the street as it is done in other
towns, by simply laying the dust throughout
the day so as to prevent its .rise, and thas
avoid depriving citizens of a clean passage
over the crossings, and carriages from being
covered with mud. 2
