The apple crop will be a failure
in lower Luzerne county, savs the
Jlazlcton Sentinel. Those coining
into market at present are extreme
ly poor in quality, nearly all being
blighted. In some of the orchards
there will be little or no fruit, and
in others the crop will be below
rather than up to the average. The
changes in the weather are said to
be responsible for this.

Thursday afternoon of last week
Dr. William J. Mather's barn, near
Rohrsburg, was struck by light
ning and destroyed. Luckily for
Mr. Mathers the building was fully
insured, otherwise it would have
been a very expensive bla.e, as the
contents, consisting of a whole lot
of hay and grain, farming imple
ments and a calf were burned. The
indemnity will cover all.
Bicycle fiends that eat, walk and
sleep in their wheeling suits, are a
nuisance, and it is pleasing to note
that their numbers are gradually
diminishing. At a recent society
function two of this class were
excluded from the dancing room by
the hostess who bravely enucleated
her dislike to their garb. Young
men who attend an evening party
in bicycle costume purposely are
deadened to all sense of propriety.
Do you want a good second
hand bicycle ? If so, go to Mercer's
Drug & Book Store. One ladies'
wheel, $9.00, with new tires ; one
gent's wheel, style, Sentinel, a bar
gain at $11.00; one gent's wheel,
style, Reading, for $11.00; one
high grade Columbia wheel, gent's,
for $9.50; one Reading Special,
with coaster brake, for $16.50.
New last year ; one Crescent tan
dem for $25.00.
It is neither temntintr tinr purnnr.
aging to single people, to hear that
au eigmy-year-oict colored resident
was called before a Wilkes-Barre
magistrate a few days ago to an
swer a chatge of desertion perferred
by his wjte. One would think that
surely the aged couple would have
learned to understand each other
perfectly during all the years that
have elaosed since their nunti.il
day. Wasn't it Shakespeare who
said there are tinners in heaven and
earth not dreamed of in our
Rhilosonhv? Surelv this inttinrp
of marital infelicity must be one.
The Lime Ridee Band was cpr.
tainly in hard luck with their festi
val Saturday evening. About half
past four o'clock in the afternoon a
terrific shower blew up and the rain
came down incessantly for two
hours. The attendance was so
small that the festival was nnst-
poned till Mouday night, but again
uie weatner was unlavorable. The
proceeds consequently were not as
large as they would have been had
nice weather prevailed. The
amount realized will be devoted to
more thoroughly emiippinsr the
organization.
Isaac Rhoadarmel died from a
cancerous affection at his home on

the Civil war and served in Co. K
132nd Regiment. The survivors

There is a disease soreadintr
among horses that acts something
like distemper. Some animals
cough a great deal, others suffer hi
the eyes and many are afflicted with
swollen throats. The disease has
found its way to the race horses.
A well known horseman says that
when it gets into a stable it attacks
the animal in various ways.
