At BaglesMere their principle streets are blockaded with snow some twelve feet deep and travelers are obliged togo a half mile distnuce on a roundabout way to reach Hotel Eagles Mere or the post-office. They have hopes that the summer sun may relieve them of their burden bv | .July Ist. In view of the rapid destruction of deer and trout, several counties in the state are urging a law for bidding the fishing for trout for the next five or ten years, also the kill ing of deer.

The people's caucus held in the Grand Jury room at this place on Saturday night did not, it seems, make the right selection of our citizens to fill the various oflices and those dissatisfied held a private cau cus on Monday night.

R., and the Phila delphia it Ere railroad has been de cided in favor of the former, we can expect that work will be resumed on said road in the near future, how ever, it is expected that the case will goto the Supreme Court, hut according to our Lycoming county exchanges, the \V. A N. 11. does not fear the final verdict. . The Republican Board of Com missioners in this county have fol lowed the precedent of the Demo cratic Board in Sullivan county, and given the public printing to the two leading papors which represent the two great parties in this county By this method all classes of our people will have ah opportunity to see and read the public announce ment® made by the County Com missioners and other officiate.— Wyoming Democrat. A wag at Wilkes-Barre wrote to a traveling passenger agent at Tyrone to come to that town, giving the street and number, stating that fifty persons "would like togo west." The agent hurried to the town, hunted up the place and found it to be the jail—fifty prisoners inside. The agent saw he was fooled, and then sent other agents there for the party to sell them tickets. The fifty will not go west this winter, and for the past two weeks the hotel men were wondering what was bring ing so many passenger agents to Wilkes-Barre. In the death of William Tecilmseh Sherman which occurred at his resi dence in New York city on Satur day the last of the great Generals of the War of the Rebellion passes away, but his achievements wilt sur vive for all time. One by one the prominent figures of that most momentous period of the nation's existence fall by the wayside, and year by year the ranks of that Grand Army becomes lews in numbers. Sherman's fame has been carved up on the foundation stones ofhiscoun trj', ami time cannot efface his brilliant record or lessen public ap preciation of liis valuable service. Every established looal newspaper receives subscriptions from large cities which puzzles the publisher, but which the .New York Times ex plains as follows. *'A wholesale merchant in the city who became rich in tiic business says his rule is that when ever he sells a bill of goods on credit, he immediately subscribes for the local newspaper of his debtor. So long as he ad vertises vigorouslyj lie rested; but as soon ns he began to contract his advertising space he took the fact as evidence that there was trouble ahead and he invariably went for the debtor. He said the man who WAS to poor to make his business known is too poor to do business. The withdrawal of an 'ad' is an evidence of weakness which whole sale men are not slow to act upon." NOT FOR LEVELAND. The Nashville Banner docs not wave for <jrover Cleveland. Far from it, except so far as it waves him oti the track; This southern Banner bears upon its democratic folds these words: "The democrat ic party has done enough already for Mr. Cleveland, and suffered de feat once under his awkard and bungling leadership. No, he is uot the uian. He cannot carry New York state, neither Indiana, Illinois nor Ohio, and in fact, the great northwest will go solidly against him, with several doubtful southern statfts, if he holds to his silver policy, which he certainly will do, for his stubbornness is his characteristic and about the only thing about him except his mugwunipery." These are significant utterances to come from so prominent a south ern newspaper as the Nashville ban ner. They mean trouble to Mr. Cleveland and may give him pause in his "consuming anxiety" again to occupy the white house. The Birmingham Age-.Hcralih perhaps as prominent as any demo cratic newspaper of Alabama, says : "The straight-out democrats are all disposed to admire Governor Hill, * * * But if Governor Hill's election to the senate had taken him from the contest Mr. Cleveland would still not hare an open field. There is Senator Gorman who wears the scalp of the force bill in his belt, and is not only a straight democrat, but a strong democrat Campbell of Ohio, Pattison of Pennsylvania, Palmer of Illinois and many others are also ot good material." It is clear that the solid south is much broken up as to the support ot'Grover for a third nomination for the presidency. He nay as well hang his harp upon the willows which fringe the brook at his Massachusetts summer resort. Cleveland's famous free trade mcf sage was the potent cause of liis de feat for re-election to the Presidency. His famous anti-Ftee Coinage letter will result in his defeat for thfe coming Democratic nomination, tn the first instance he was wrong, but as to the latter he is right. This shows that he still possesses the knack for blundering when the blun der will do him the most harm. —» . Minutes of "Teachers' Association" Heid at LaPorte, Feb, 14.1801.
