It is reported that bears are more
numerous on the North Mountain
this season than for many previous
years, and Jamison City seems to he
the particular place for them. Last
week, a Mrs. Lyons of that place
opened the door of her home quite
late in the evening with the inten
tion of going out, when she was as
tonished to see two large bears walk
past the house. The lady called to
her husband telling him what she
had seen, and ongoing out he saw
the bears disappearing down the
street, but no pursuit was made.

Here's the opportunity of a life J
time for widow, spinster or maid. ;
She must be affectionate and true,,
intelligent and symmetrical, and if;
she posseses these qualifications and
traits, a young man who gives the
name of H. V. Esmond of Sunhury, ;
is willing to take the solemn oaths j
before a justice or miidster, that he
will support aud cheris'i her
her breathing time on earth. In
another column the young man ad
vertises his wants. He is a sales-:
man, earning a good income.— j
Bloomshurg .Sentinel.
The papers have printed fhej
story of a woman past middle lifej
who is about to, become llie wife of I
a second husband because, as he
frankly admits, her cooking "suited
him to a T". This matron doesn't
seem to have wasted any time at
the summer resorts acquiring health
and tan. For all the world knows,
she may be innocent of piano thrum
ming, guiltless of golf and knowing
little about the latest novel or the
newest play. But she understood
that the average man requires three j
meals a day, and that he prefers!
good ones to those that are bad or
indifferent.
llere may be a lesson for the girls |
who deplore the reluctance of their j
sweethearts to suggest matrimony. :
In every other respect they have
doubtless much the advantage ofj
their elderly sister. They are young j
pretty, attractive. They have a
thousand winning ways, yet they
seem to lack one thing rvcessarv to
convince their hesitating swains
that marriage won't be a failure.
A woman just in receipt of sso,(M>o
alimony announces that to marry a
man for the purpose of reforming
him is unwise However, something
of a financial nature may be aecom- j
plished by the operation.
