by the Legislature. This latest develop
fuent-of 'cuteness seems to hive been prin
cipally exhibited by the officers of the lower
house, and the Senate felt (tailed upon to
complain,of the fact. One Senator thought
the House should employ-competent clerks,
and another suggested that the present ones
be sworn to do their duty every morning.—
ft appears to us that they are entirely too
"competent" already. Tile only way for
the • Senate to get eVen, that-we can,see, is
to employ a few equally _" competent" ones.
'.'-lien. if it wasn't for - the looks of the thing,
both houses might adjourn and g7rr home,
leaving these smart gentlemen to miss and
reject what they please. But, seriously,

Kuklux committee- were presented in the
,Senatc on the 19th, together with tho testi

ize the suspension of • the habeas corpus un
til the end of the next session of Congress.
Both repOrts were ordered printed, and the
Senate resumed the ileliate on thb - resolution
to inquire into the alleged sale of arms to
France durlng her late war with Prussia.—
Mr. Conkling made along speech, alleging
that it had bees introduced by a Senatorial
cabitl whose business it is . to furnish =mu
nitifon to the Democratic party, and to ma;
lign the'President and assail his Adminis

strand the Republican ship. In the House
a large number of •bills were introduced, the
mosi,important being a civil rights bill sim

occupied entirely by the debate on the _Sum

TY.—The Williamsprt Gazette prints the
following interesting Account of a fight be
tween three bears and a - farmer and wife.
."In Potter comity bears are reported plen
ty, two and three frequently' being seen to
gether. This cotaity,i on account of its wil
derness, affords an excellent haunt for, them.
'lt is sparsely populated;-the-settlements are
wide apart, and a deep, sombre gloom per
'wades the hemlock forests in the dead of
Winter, where they hide with- safety. A
gentleman reached Williamsport on' Friday
evening last, from a !Jogging camp'? in
Potter county where he has been , for five
weelast, wno relates the , partioulars of an
'excitingenceaMer withan old beau and two
cabs: t appears th at a,man. named Jonas
Elmaker \ and - hi s Wife, had made a - small
clearing in4aekgon township. They have a
comfortable log cabin, a small 'barn,. sever
al head of cattle and-la- fc W pigs: About 9
o'clock on the evening of January 81st, Mr.
Elmaker heard F a': great commotion among
his Battle andpigcatAlie bata:• On - rushing
I .outio ascertain, the cfmse of shoal, i !negate
his surprise on finditikthat an old bear and
two cubs had attackp a yearling calf. The
cattle were snorting, and bellowing at. a fear
'ful rate, whilst: the pigs! were squealing as
lustily' as if they expected \ to : be dispatched
every minute. 1 The I bear\had thrown the
calf down r
g
and was preparing to drag it out
of the yar d The cubs were running-around
snapping their teeth and uttering half sur
pressed growls of delight at the prospect of a
I`good square meal," lir. Elmiker returned
to the house at Once, informed his \wife, and ,
made preparations to 'attack "the bears.. He
seized hisrifle, whilst his wife armed \ herself
with a t long handled double-bitted axe.—
Thus armed they adiranend to the. , attack.—
The bears,' mado hold and ferocious by hun
ger,' did not seem inclined to give up their
prey, Rising] upon her haunches the old
bear shoWed fight; and the cubs crouched
behind her snarling fiercely. Mr. Elmaker
raised his. rifle and tired at .the black mon
ster, thinking that if . she were killed the
cubs could easily be despatched or driven
off But owing to the excitement under
which he was laboring, he missed - his aim
and only broke the left paw of •the animal.
With a fierce growl of rage, caused by- the
"painful wound, the old bear rushedupon her
&gallants, followed by the cubs. They stood
their ground Or a few minutes, Mr. Elmaker
,clubbing his rifle„whilst his wife eat one of
the enbsseVerely irf the shoulder with the
axe. T he rage of the animals became fear

succeeded, in adinix , t his rifle, and firiag

to climb the log house,
but owing to her lap en paw, was unable to
do so. • Another shot in. the rifle wounded
her severely in the Jives when she set up
the most hidebus howls o rage. Failing to
'get another shot at them, the parties inside
remained in a state of sick.° k o pared to re

The Commissioners conclude that aslthe impror:
meats during the yearlB72 amount to over elevc.si.ti
dred dollars, and priricipally in buildings. it would
be right to charge it to, the townships, but should I--
deducted from the arceunt ($995 43) to be raid be
ounty poor.
The price charged the townships, &c., for board
the County House, upon the• estimate of the cost
week for each pauper,is a small fraction over two
lars and three cents per week. This includes even
thing expended upon the paupers—food, clothir
medicine, schooling, &c. There have been at U.
County House during the year 84 paupers, and an 6"
erage of over 43 during the whole year. 25 of thts
are over 70 years of age, and 10 of these over 80 yEtr,
of age.. Nearly all of them are sickly and need agraa
deal Waiting upon. The balance are nearly all
otic and insane. The Com.missioners were compelltd
this year to build ap extra building in which to keg.
the insane, so they could be kept from doing injuiy
themselves, to others, and to property. The Sulena
tendent is compelled to hire all the help to carry tit
the farm and to do the work in the house, not getor.;
but little help from the paupers. The - coat of do - tc:
ing and keeping the insane at the Lunatic How*
Harrisburg is $3 per week. This does not mow
clothing or any other expenses. The Commissions:
in allowing temporary relief outside the County Roue
have generally consulted with the township Super - :,
sors before granting it and would urge the passage a
a law authorizing a county poor tax instead of "tolrr
ship tax. The Superintendent, Mr. Robinson, ea.!
meets the approbation of the Commissioners cod tee
inmates of the County House, and he deserves ma,:
credit for Ws management. The count* is forme:.
in haring such a man to rasnage,ths county, properti
And his humanity to the paupers Is worthy of pram
