The Last Bear
The last of the tribe of bruin seen in this township was shot in the fall of 1833 by Mr. Zimmerman, who lived on Muskallonge. This species of forest inhabitant prefer hills and clear, flowing, rapid currents, and were consequently infrequent visitors of this flat country. Now and then one, however, sought refuge in the deep shade of this impenetrable forest, and having sought out some hollow tree or stump, lived a quiet life.
