The Wilkes Barre and Western Railroad is now being construct- ed from Shickshinny to Watsontown. and from Watsontown to Newberry, which is within a very short distance of Wilkes Barre, the Beech Creek and Hudson River Railroad Company is go~ ing to extend the road. A road will also be built from Newbers ry fo Bellefonte, a distance of about fifty miles, and plans have been made for a road to run into the Clearfield district. When these lines are completed there will be a direct road to New York for the soft coal trade, which will save mileage and cost of hauling. The new road from Newberry to Belle- fonte is to be called the Bellefonte and Eastern. It is proposed to make it a through line and to make a traflic agree- ment with the Northern Central, which will give them access to the Northern part of Pennsylvania and New York, ssmmm——— A —— April 30.

There were thousands of them. The night being dark and stormy and the snow falling fast, the birds were attracted by the numerous lights ofthe coke ovens surrounding Punxsutawney, and came down. Hundreds ofthe un-~ lucky fowls flew too close to the months of the ovens, got their wings singed, and dropped into the farnaces like moths in- to the flames of a torch. The Hungar- inns and Italians got out their clubs and killed barrels of the birds. The next morning great numbers of wild ducks and geese were found in the snow and captured, and when the citizens of Punx- putawney saw that Mahoning Creek was a living mass of wild fowl every man who conld buy or borrow a gun was out shooting ducks, —— — .
