There was a gieat gathering of crows near the Kile station at Hickory Glove a few morn ings ago. Flock after Hock poured Into a piece of woods near that station. Their llight was so continuous that they obscured the sun. They came from tho north. The noIe made bv their cawing was deafening. Men and boys shot them by the score lis they swooped down Into the woods, which became for a time a veiltable old-time crow-roost. The firing of guns only frightened such of the crows as wete nenr the gunners, and they only rose to alight In another tree. The noise they made was kept up until darkness settled over them. Once In awhile in the night the blanch of borne tree, which was overloaded with birds, would bieak with a crash berreath their weight. Then there would be a great cry and clamor and rush of wings among the ciows thus suddenly de prived of a roosting place, until they regained a foothold elsewhere. ThMr noise could be heard a mile away. Early the next morning the great mass began to stir and they Hew awav In flocks until the woods were again free of them. They were more than an hour In getting away. Dead crows and broken branches littered the grove from one end to the other. TOWN TOPICS.

Few regrets weii bent. Returning, a number of Great Bend guebts were unavoidably sidetracked en route, as they came In box eais. INTELLIGENT ANIMALS. Miss Kate Hotehklss, of Wlnslow, has the most precocious cat In the state of New Yolk. Entirely Ignoring the time-honored "cat-hole" In the kitchen door, when desiring to enter the house, it will walk lelsurply up to the front door, and, standing upon Its hind legs, pull the bqll knob, until Its mistress opens the door. It evidently loves the sound of the bell, for when the door Is opened It will continue to pull the knob until dilven away. Dr. S. I. Engle, of Susquehanna, has a music-loving kitten. At the first sound of the piano It will spring upon the Instrument and remain theie until Its mistress ceases playing. Quite often it will run backward and forward over the keys, evidently to lrear the beautiful discord. Before this fad of the kitten wab discovered, the sourrd of the piano In the small hours of the night led the family to believe that supernatuial hands were manipulating the keys. The doctor Is endeavoring to teach the kitten the scale. IN THE COUNTY. A district Sunday school Institute will be held in Montrose on Thursday next. Mormon "missionaries" havo made seventeen converts in Forest City. "And there are more to follow " E-County Commissioner Jerry Ste phens hus removed to NIcholbon.

Years ago there was a young lady in Susquehanna county who had two sweatheai ts, and, not being able to de cide between the two, she set out two wild locust bushes In the ward, naming one for each of her lovers, believing In the old adage: "If he loves me that bush will grow", and "accoidlng to hei lalth, so It happened unto her." One of the bushes very soon withered, but the other nourished, and In the course of time she mauled the gentleman for whom the bush wus named They raised a large family, who are well known throughout several counties, and the locast bush also grew and multiplied. Time has laid lre the Spot where the old dwelling stood, and nothing remains to mark the spot of this once happy home but the locust hushes, of .hlch there is a complete hedge about one hundred yards In length. ODDS AND ENDS. Montrose has eleven poets. A wlpked person at our elbow suggests that the bebt thing about them Is their melUIIUous silence, and the (act that they are seldom heard of, except In statistics. Great Hend Is striving hard to keep up with the procession. But It still has a toll-gate a relic of barbarism. A Iilnghamton poet Is out with some winter verses and warrts to know will love grow cold?" It will, this weather, If it lingers by the front gate. Anent tho Mormon Imbiogllo at For est City, pel haps those Duudafflte "missionaries" might try their (1st at converting those wicked mormon eld ers u In Forest City. It would be easier work than going to Africa or Susquehanna and much sater! And a mormon temple In Forest City would be something dreadful! THEY'LL. ALL BE THERE. The man who wants to see a mais convention of tho candidates for the postolllces In the State should not over look the next annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Editorial association.

Advertise your busi ness. Love your God and -your fellow man." A cottage will not hold the bulky fuinltuie and sumptuous accommoda tions of the mansion, but If love be theie, the cottase will hold as much happiness ns might stock a palace. Why Is It that your umbrella Is al ways at the wrong end of tho line when you want to use It? You don't have It, arrd the junn you borrowed It of doesn't hav'o it, either! Wonder "when we get to heaven" whether there will be any distinction made between tho follows who make long piayeis, but conveniently close their eyes when the contribution box Is passed, and the chaps who swear a little once In a while but never forget a f i lend In need, and always tiy to help a man up when he Is down? AN EIGHT-LEGGED HORSE. James McCloud, of Gulf Summit, has an eight-legged hoi&e. It Is a marvel neither as a trotter nor racer. Ills supposed value lies In the fact that he has eight feet. The division begins at the postern or lower end of the shin bone, arrd In each case there are two peifectly formed hofofs, one of which Is large and useful, and the other, about one-third the usual size. Is wholly ornamental. All eight hoofs on each horse, might be shod, If It was desirable to do so, but It would be a waste of four shoes to each horse, be cause the four extra hoofs do not come within three Indies of the -giound. They are possibly developments of the suppressed toes or "splints." The horse does not seem to be Incommoded by too much footing. SOME BRIDFLETS. R. N. Randall, superintendent of the Coburrr whip vsorks, In Wilson, died orr Monday. The funeral of Freeman Tlngley, an old resident of Harford, occurred on Sunday. The Eile Is having; a fair run of f i eight. In a few months, aided by a Republican administration and the re sultant confidence of the business vvoild, buslnes will besltl to boom. So might It be!

There are thousands of cases where re covery from Consumption has been complete. Plenty of fresh air and a well-nourished body will check the progress of the disease. Nu tritious foods are well in their way, but the best food of all is Cod-liver Oil.
