Potb-r who have not at some fieriod of

still it may not lie amiss to say some- i
tiring in regard to Sunderlinville in a
descriptive way. The Ville contains
twenty-five buildings, exclusive of barns
and out-liouses. We have two stores
supplied with the general merchandise
required for country trade; two black
smith shops, one vacant at present; one
wagon rejiairing) shop; a saw-mill; a
grist-mill; one boot and shoe shop; one
of the prettiest little school houses in the
country, white, with green blinds; one
hotel (the Evergreen; which is one the
best liostelries in the County, whose
gentlemanly proprietor, M. K. Beach,
and his pleasant wife, cater to the com- '
fort of the traveling public in a most !
satisfactory manner.
There is but one lumber job this sea

We have had some heavy rains during
the present week. One on the 25tli inst.
raised the streams considerably. It was
accompanied with some thunder. The ;
severe frosts we have had have nearly
ruined some pieces of corn and buck-,

In the way of an agricultural item we '

MESSKS. EDITORS :—Learning that
there is a supjiosition prevailing in the
minds of some of our friends in McKean
countv that the wolf bounty act for that
county was rejiealed last w inter, I would
' say that that act has not been repealed,
but stands ujon the statute book tL
same as it has for the last 33 years,
i The mistake arises from the fact that
Senator Playford of Favette county in
trod need a bill to repeal the fifth section
of the act of March 20, IS4O, which was j
passed.
The title of that bill was an Act to
encourage more effectually the destruc
tion of wolves and panthers in the coun
ties of Luzerne. Wayne, Potter, Mc- !
Kean, Ac. The fifth section, whh h
alone of that Act wasvejiealed last win
ter, related to the fox a id wild cat
bounties in Fayette county, and makes
no reference whatever to any other
county.
Hoping this explanation will lie satis
factory to our friends in your county. I
remaiu Yours truly,
C. S. JONES.
