The dog was killed by a lumber man and the head sent to the Live Stock Sanitary Board of Philadel phia for examination ofitsbraiu, which proved that it had rabies. The herd has been placed sepa rately in quarantine and is being closely watched. It is believed that a number of other cows and dogs in that vicinity have been bitten and the farmers are greatly aroused. State Veterinarian Pierson, of Harrisburg, has notified the local authorities to quarantine all animals suspected ot having been bitten. Overheard In Town Yesterday "Hello !

Work on the construction of the Danville and Bloomsburg Electric railway, it is believed will soon be started. The Company, we under stand has been bonded, and the road is now an assured fact. Dan villians have reason to feel jubilant. The new life creating influence of a trolley road in a town cannot be overestimated. It brings more people to town, stimulates trade, and makes it seem more city like. In fact the benefits of a tiolley road are manifold. 'What would you think of the merchant who offered you two but tons in change for a silver dollar wouldn't you kick ? It would be about as insulting to your intelli gence as it would were the merch ant to try and palm off some of his own cheap mixtures for some well known reputable food or medicine which has name tor purity, strength and value. A reputation which has stood the test of time caunot be knocked out by such silly tricks. The dealer soon finds that his old customers lose faith in him and he loses trade by such practices.

The woman who marries a man just to get the best of some other girl usually lives to regret it. Matrimony is a little more serous matter than tea fights and bargain hubbubs. We no longer doubt the story of Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt. A young lady on Saturday, put her foot upon a dry goods box in front of the U. S. Express office to tie her shoe, and two young men who were passing turned to rubber. In Lycoming county black bears are more numerous than they have been for many years.

The entertain ment question was taken up and it was unanimously decided to give a show about. Thanksgiving. The entertainment will be of the variety sort aud will be a continuous per formance. The club contains some of the town's best talent iu the his trionic line, and with the outside assistance they have secured, the forthcoming entertainment from an artistic standpoint, should be a suc cess. As to the finaucial outcome there is little to be feared. The Wheelmen are popular and all their friends will want to see them on this occasion. We rather expect to see this show smash the Opera House record. What the Club will do with the money will be decjded later, but the probability is that it will be devoted to the purchase ofa piano. .
