Some years ago the Legislature pass. ed an Act making it unlawful to permit dogs to chase game during the breeding season. At that time the only penalty was the danger of having a dog killed. Later the Legislature amended the game law so that a penalty could also be imposed upon the owners or persons harboring dogs chasing game after not- ice in writing from the Game Commis- ion or anyone whose duty is to protect game and wild birds. The 1921 legisla- ture has further amended the game law in this respect, known as Section 26 of the Act of June 7, 1917, so that it is no longer necessary to give dog owners a written notice to restrain dogs during the close season, and in order that the dog owners and sportsmen of the Com- monwealth may quickly become ac- quainted with this change of the law, we take this means of getting this informa. tion before the public at once. The Act making the change was signed only a few days ago, and hereafter persons owning or harboring dogs are liable to a fine of $10.00 for every day they permit their dogs to chase game during the closed season and $5.00 for every bird or rabbit killed without a notice of any sort, The special training season is contin.

Last Sunday, Rev, R. R. Jones, of the Reformed Church, closed his pastorate of nine and one half years in the Centre Hall charge. A comparison of the tistics as given in the minutes of classis for 1911 and the statistics for the year 1921 will show a growth in membership of 43 for the whole charge. This, not- withstanding a diminishing population in the townships where the charge is lo cated, In benevolence the Reformed church in Centre Hall charge expanded $378 1911 to $102 in 1921, If the amount paid to the Forward Movement is includ ed ($3025 already paid in) the total be- nevolenge reported to Classis in 1921 amounts to $4127. During his pastorate Rev, RR. Jones, solemnized fifty-three marriages, bap- tised one hundred thirteen children, of. ficiated at ope hundred twenty-three nerals received into the church dred three persons, four, and preached 1168 times, As a token of appreciation and expres. sion of their good will to the pastor, h friends tendered him a Thursday evening, 12th inst., and not- withstanding the inclement weather ©t sla- in dismissed farewell social on A similar reception by the members and riends of St. John's and Grace cor gation was held in the Grange Spring Mills, on Wednesday evening the 18th, Rev.

James Hagan, aged 65 years and a familiar figure throughout Mifflin coun- ty, was found dead in the barn of Michael Spicher near White Hall,a short distance from Belleville, last Sunday by Mr, Spicher.

One night recently Mr. and Mrs. Rob. ert Meeker, who live on the farm of Mrs. Meeker's father, Luther Royer, below Centre Hall, upon reaching home quite late after a trip to Spring Mills, were startled at the strange actions of the family dog. who came out to meet them and suddenly fell over, as though dead. The premises gave the appears ance of someone having been about, and fearing that some person was still ‘in the house, Mr. and Mrs. Meeker and the hired girl feared to enter. Mr. Meeker decided to go to the barn and get bis shotgun, and whether the tramp, or whoever he was, heard this remark or not, nevertheless he beat a hasty retreat when Mr, Meeker went to the barn, the hired girl claiming she saw some one in the distance climbing a fence. Upon entering the house nothing was out of order, only the cupboards appeared to have been looked into, although nothing was missing. The dog later revived, whith leads to the belief that the tramp sent some ‘poison gas” in the direction of the animal to get him out ot the way. a a - Ce wn SO
