The talk that General Hastings has leased the plant and intends putting in machinery for making wire nails is not correct, though such an enterprise is looked upon with much favor by Belle. fonte capitalists, as Centre county iron makes excellent wire, and with coal so near this mill should be able to compete with the Western factories and find ready sale for its product Speaking of the firm's embarrassment, a gentleman who is in the nail business says: “The iron mills, that is the roll. ing mills, are paying much better than the nall mills.

A New Bridge Wanted, At argnment court at Lock Haven last week on petition of citizens of Beech Creek, Clinton county, and citi zens of Liberty twp., this county, the Court granted a rule on the county commissioners to show cause why a new bridge should not be erected at Beech Creek. The Sheriff served the papers on the >ommissioners. Commissioner Mussina stated that last Spring the Commissioners of Centre and Clinton counties met at Beech Creek and offered toerect the superstructure of a bridge if the borough of Beech Creek and Liberty twp., would erect the abut. ments. The offer was not accepled.
