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.

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.

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

they get too full.
Our good friend, Brother Moore, of

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

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.

IS THE HOUSE HAUNTED ?
.Mystery Which Ik Puzzling tho Good
People of Ilonetdiilc.
Honesdale, April 21. 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.
