Notes of Interest to Itnilrond Hoys, The Ilnllstcnd I'nltc Letter. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Susquehanna, April 21. Farmer Sampson and sons, of Sherman, while cutting wood on the mountain, noticed for several days some birds upon a tree near them, several eoIiir from tree to tree. Upon cutting down the tree they discovered a limb with a hol low cavity some two feet In length and three or four Inches In dlnmeter, In Which were two full grown birds of some good-sized species. There was a small opening through which the birds Were supplied with food by their mates. The limb was cut and the birds liberated. They were neither of them able to lly, having evidently never been out of their place of Imprison ment. How they came Inside Is a question. It Is probable that the mother bird was small, and though able to make her nest In the hollow of the tree and rear her young, could not o.xtrlcate them, and they did not have strength enough to help them until the hollow had so closed ns to make escape Impossible. Those who have examined the birds think they nre ibo,ut two yeara old. They have been fed from their birth by their blrd-fel-Jows through the aperture In the limb of the tree. A nobler Instance of de votion even the human family never exhibited. NEWS MELANGE.

He car ried away nearly a!! of the pastry In the home, nmong It eleven biscuits, laked by the fair young brlue. In the morning they found the iramp In the dooryard, cold In death.

Jessup, of Scranton, was received with deep regret by his many personal friends in Susquehanna. Griflln Van Fleet, a Susquehanna railroad man, on Saturday caught from a Delaware valley stream seven trout weighing twelve pounds. TEMPERANCE WORK NEEDED. The Windsor Standard states that "A year ago C. A. Roberts and David Corn stock shot a duck from the river bridge. Last Saturday they were driving across the bridge, when Charley re marked to David: "Wouldn't It be funny If we should see another duck here today?" They looked down the river, and, sure enough, there was a duck lloatlng under some bushes. They hastened over town, borrowed a gun nd blazed atvuy at the duck, The first discharge having apparently no effect, the second barrel was fired, with a like result. An Investigation dis closed the fact that the duck was a copy of the Carbondale Leader. The singular part of the episode Is that nearly all of the shot penetrated that portion of the paper which contained a snake story by "Whit." All of which shows the need of tem perance and missionary work In Wind sor. When Its people cannot distin guish the 'difference between a duck and, a newspuper, there is no need of. eendlng missionaries to Africa. Onward, Christian soldiers Battle for the light; There's labor for you " While Windsorlte-s get tight! RAILROAD SUNDRIES.

Thero Isn't much need of agitating for an eight-hour law while men are work ing but seven. The railroad officials anticipate In creased business In May. Considering the state of the coal trade, the Ontario and Western lias a fair business. WHAT THE PROOF HEADER DID. The Susquehanna Transcript on Sat urday stated that "Gents are masticat ing circus posters." It Is hardly nec essary to mention that the editor wrote "Goats." The editor of a BInghamton paper was horrified when he saw an Item an nouncing that Thomas Smith was pre paring to sow ten acres of cats on his Klrkwood farm. Of course ho wrote "oats." SEVERAL THINGS. Winter appears to be lingering In the lap of spring, and the Easter Illy came near being a snow ball. Many of the Easter bonnets failed to ripen. Opera house managers, fly-by-nlght theatrical troupes, butchers, fiddlers, pastors and people all rejoice because the sad Lenten season Is over. Some of our horsemen hereabouts are advocating the building of a race track at Lanesboro. We have some fast horses hereabouts when they are tied. The finding of a fake letter from an alleged Susquehanna man at Hall stead creates no uneasiness here. "A. J. Lenden" Is well known hereabouts; besides, Susquehanna people do not go to "heaven" via Hallstead. The ques tion reverts to the original proposi tion: "Do suicides go direct to heaven?" Conclusive proof was furnished by the recent great Hoods, that rivers are dangerois as Individuals when they get too full. Our good friend, Brother Moore, of the G'reat Ilend Hlaln-Dcaier, took his pen In hand and Indited the fol lowing stirring spring poem; Old Mother Bloomers Kept boarders and roomers, And on each she mado a good deal; She saved ud rer cash, Made her boarders eat hash And now sho is riding a wheel. IN THE COUNTY. Susquehanna county has now but one murder case ahead. Is "hanging played out" In Susque hanna county? "Voluntary manslaughter" Is much, more genteel than cold-blooded "mur der." And the penalty Is lighter. And it doesn't make much difference to the' victim whether they call It murder or voluntary manslaughter. There are seventeen Idle, well-fed prisoners in the county jail. Some day there will be a workhouse annex to that popular resort. They ure having revival meetings at Stevens' Point, conducted by the Free Methodists. The Independent Republican Is doing Itself proud as an Illustrated news paper. Few Inland papers show as much enterprise. . Lanesboro has no fire apparatus, and Insurance companies charge seven per cent. on. come property "Which Is why" property owners are compelled to Insure themselves. AN OBJECT LESSON. Let us learn somethlns from obser vation. Down In Factoryvllle, when a fellow dls covers an old, unused well, the water In which Is a trifle stale and braeklbh, does he fill that well full of stones, tomato can? and bric-a-brac. Not on your life! He simply bottles the product and puts It on the mar ket as mineral water, and the people with "that tired feeling" are cured, and the doctors go about the streets sighing. There era no microbes upon the Factory villains. FOR HEN DAIRY OWNERS. In about two weeks you can become very popular with your neighbor bi le ttlng your hens practice the two step in his lettuce bed. He will love you, and perhaps he will call you some nice names not to be found In the prayer book. In a moment of tempor ary Insanity he may fill your hens full of fine shot and throw them over the fence and Into your yard. But it will be because lie reciprocates your neighborly nets and leves you as a man and brothel. BRIEFLY STATED.

The Independ ent Is authority for the statement that Honesdale has a real, up-to-date haunted house. On Saturday nlglit a light was seen In a vacant house In this borough by those who live In an adjoining house. Investigation the next day failed to show that anything In the house hud been disturbed or that any person had been In there. At about 11 o'clock, Sunday night, the light appeared again. It could be plainly seen from a bed room window In the house adjoining. Neighbors were called In and several persons viewed the situation. Those who wit nessed the mysterious appearance de scribed It thus: They looked from the window of one house through the window of another Into a bedroom formerly occupied by a young lady. The room appeared to be lighted and some person preparing to retire. The sex of the visitor could not be distinguished by the clothing. If a man, he had his coat and vest off and appeared In white shirt and dark trous ers; if a woman the lower covering was a dark skirt. The form bent over and prepared the bed for occupancy and while the people were yet watching It was seen to approach the gas Jet and turn It off, leaving all In daikness. The key of the house was then se cured and severul men entered but all Investigation disclosed nothing; and most puzzling of all the gas Jet could not be lighted in that room because the ens was cut off In the cellar. The theory that Hip whole was produced by mirrors castlnc reflections- from some other house was exploded on Investiga tion by the fact that the blinds of the house on all other sides ore closed.
