An exchange says Hazelton has a rat plague; that the residential and business sections of that city are alive with the rodents, and that a pied piper is being sought for. Why wouldn't the pie-be snieared faced youth with an ever lasting whistle coming from his puckered lips answer the purpose just as well? He knows all of the popular (?) airs, is acquainted with the expression "Aw rats!" and if he could not charm them he could certainly scare them away. We could find most any number of these substitutes for the Hamelinite. We have a fine new lot of La dies' Skirts. Strictly up,to-date styles and reasonable prices at the Sullivan Clothing Store.

THE YOUNG MAN FROM WYOMING AT EAGLES MERE. A SULLIVAN COUNTY NOVELETTE. BY THOMAS J. INGHAM. CHAPTER SIXTEEN. "Not long after the wedding Capt. Franklin called at our house. He expressed his grief at father's death, and praised him very much. He said in losing him the settlers had lost one of their strongest men, and they needed more of such men now. " 'The settlers are working in peace at present,' he con tinued, 'but it will not last. The settlers are not protected by any law. The act they passed stopped the fighting, but our titles are not confirmed, and the land jobbers are as deter mined as ever. They have not given up the battle —they will come again backed by the power of the State. What shall we do? Give up? Surrender our lands? God forbid! We must fight. But how? Not by fits and starts, and in squads as we have done, losing the fruits of victory with every harvest. The way is to declare our independence, and form a neiv state —the state of WYOMING! We can organize a government and raise a permanent military force. We can loan money and get recruits from New England. Ethan Allen will be our commander-in-chief. With the advantage of our narrow passes and mountain strongholds it will be impossible for Pennsylvania to subdue us.' "He ended by asking me to join in a military league to sustain this plan. I answered that 1 had full confidence in his judgment, and had no doubt he was right; but 1 said: 'Here is my mother; she has no one left but me. I cannot join in anything that will take me from her.' "He answered: 'I cannot ask it, but the time may come when you can be of service, and I know your heart is with us.' "With that he shook my hand warmly, and took his leave. "It was a gloomy year for me, but there was plenty-of work on the farm, and I raised and harvested large crops. Mother was sad and in poor health, but did the houswork, and it was still home to us. "About New Year's Col. Jenkins called as he was pass ing to tell us that the Pennsylvania Legislature had passed an amnesty act —that the Connecticut settlers were to be par doned if they surrendered themselves to the Pennsylvania authorities by the 15th of the following April, and entered into bonds to keep the peace. "I asked the Colonel what he thought about it. " 'When slice)) surrender themselves to wolves,' said lie, 'which ought to give bonds to keep the peace? Not the sheep, certainly. Let the wolves give the bonds—we won't.' "I inquired, 'Do you think any of the settlers will give up their lands?' "He laughed as he answered, 'No; it is too ridiculous to be spoken of seriously. The men who passed the act don't expect it. The land jobbers have got this up as a mere excuse for some worse proceedings. The settlers will stand together, however, and maintain their rights.' "The Colonel's opinion proved correct, for no attention was paid to the law. "Soon after New Year's I got a long letter from Mattie, dated in Philadelphia. She said a relative of her mother's had invited her to spend the winter in the city, and she had been there several weeks. She gave me descriptions of the fine things she had seen, and the pleasant friends she had met; then she added: " 'I have a little news to tell you which is partly pleasant and partly unpleasant. Mr. Swartz is afraid to return to the valley, and he and mother think they will sell the farm, lie says it cannot be sold for its full value unless mother is in actual possession; so it has been arranged for mother and me togo there and run the farm as we used to, until Mr. Swartz sends us a purchaser. We shall be there in the spring, and 1 shall depend on you to help us a little. What do you say? I hope it may be long before a purchaser is found,' "This was joyful news to me, and I could not see the un pleasant part which she alluded to, for I thought when the farm was sold I could persuade Mattie to remain as my wife, and make our dull home bright once more. "She came when the valley was clothed in fresh, green verdure, and birds were making the woods ring with their songs, and blossoms were filling the air with fragrance. I was at the door to meet her, and was charmed with her loveliness. She was elegantly dressed, and her manners indicated that she had been in more fashionable society than we had been accustomed to. These changes which 1 observed appeared to me only as added graces, which pleased me the more. "Mattie did not refuse the warm kiss with which I greeted her. and yet I felt at the instant as if some invisible barrier had arisen between us. I concluded, however, that it was only the embarrassment of meeting after we had been sep arated so long. I called as often as I dared after that, but the invisible barrier did not vanish or grow weaker. With a deli cate tact, which I then mistook for artless simplicty or maiden coyness, she avoided giving me opportunity for a complete explanation, and I was left for several weeks with an unsatis fied longing to clasp her to my bosom and feel assured that her heart was sfill mine. While I was thus half doubting and half believing in Mattie's affection for me, there came to Mrs. Swartz's house a young gentleman from Philadelphia—as I understood it, a connection of the family—who it was said had come out into the country for the benefit of his health. "I called as usual at Mrs. Swartz's, and was introduced by Mattie to Mr. Osbournc. He was a tall, pale young man with light hair, scarcely any beard, and keen gray eyes. Although he was quite pale, he did not look unhealthy. He was very courteous to me, and found many things about our place to commend. He even noticed personal traits in me which he considered worthy of praise, and mentioned them with such frankness that he could not think I would suspect him of flat tery. He had quite an idle curiosity about the Pennamite war and the actors in it, and where they lived and what they were doing, and how many had failed to return to their farms, and what the settlers intended to do next, lie had not talked to me a great while on these subjects before my memory became defective on the points his idle curiosity was most concerned about ; and perhaps he thought he had commended my intelli gence too soon. In subsequent conversations he ceased to ask me questions, but he was off every day to different locali ties in the valley, using his keen gray eyes to gratify his curi osity and getting full answers to his questions from others.
