Not only the young, but some df the older ones are whooping 'er up. The new silk works at Hallstead em ploy about forty hands at present, with prospects of greatly increasing that number. ' Your correspondent had the pleasure of a trip to South Gibson last week, a lively little town In the interior. The chief subject of dlBcussIon is the pro ject of a new electric road from Nichol son to Susquehanna, via the Tunkhan nock creek, touching about half a doz en small towns on the trip. The scheme is well worthy some enterprising capi talists, but who they are or when tho road is to be built is among the mys teries. The chief source of amusement at this interior village wus fishing through the ice, which Is dally indulged in ns long as the Ice and fish hold out. Large numbers of fine specimens were "hooked," after which the older resi dents retire to the hotel and swap yarns about the fish they caught when they were young. It seems strange how the stories grow with age. One old veteran had caught In that same pond thirteen suckers that Just filled a washtub, while another individual re lated how, about thirty winters ago, he had cut a hole In the Ice about two feet ucross and hooked some of the finest pickerel he had ever looked upon. The old man said he didn't know Just how much the largest weighed, but to give us a little idea he stated that he pulled one almost through the hole In the Ice when his hook broke and he would have lo3t it only Its gills caught on each side of the hole and it couldn't get its head back through. At Foster we ran across several of the Brooklyn oil speculators, and they were as jubilant ns kids with red top boots. It was reported on the bourse at Foster that the long-looked for oil had been reached, but not with quite ns much "gush" as they expect In a week or two more. Pipe lines, plans for seven-story hotels, trolley lines and In numerable oil refineries and tanks loom up in the distance, and the people ol that region are on tip-toe with expect ancy. A number of new buildings are under way at Foster, and the business men you meet are the right sort to make a town thrive. TUNK1IAM0CK.
