Susquehanna, July 6. A cow is the
property of a poor widow In Jackson,
who supports herself by taking In
washing. Every night In the winter
when the cow comes home to be milked
she brlnRS enough wood and brush on
her horns to keep her mistress in fuel
for the next day. If her pasture ground
Is needed for bleaching purposes the
cow goes Into a neighboring cowfleld
to eat. She always rests under a tree
during the noon hour, and starts to
eat again at 1 o'clock precisely. The
cow is of a eky-blue color, dappled
with yellow.

MONTROSE'S LATEST FREAK.
Our stately friend, the Montrose Re
publican, seldom permits a sensation
al story or a joke to appear in its
columns, hence when the following was
found on Its local page on Saturday,
some of the older readers fled to the
mountains: "About two weeks ago a
three-legged chicken was hatched on
the farm of George C. Campbell, of
Chicago (formerly the Fassmore farm,
in Bridgewater township). Mr. Camp
bell is going to send It on to a Chicago
museum." The Republican Is "getting
there" with neatness and dispatch. It
Is entitled to membership in our club.
RAILROAD MENTIONETTES.
Trafllc on the Jefferson branch was
partially suspended on Monday. The
presence of a man and a theodolite
serves to revive the antiquated rumor
that the Delaware and Hudson com
pany is preparing to build a branch
of its own between Lanesboro and Car
bondale. There is a heavy run of coal on the
Jeffer-son branch.
There are rumors of Increased work
ing hours on the Erie in the various
shops.
The cost of the Starrucca viaduct,
at Lanesboro, built in cheap times, was
about $325,000. It was built in two and
one-half vears.
The original cost of the old Cascade
bridge, four miles east of Susquehanna,
was about $100,000, and, to fill up the
entire space beneath It, some years
later, cost $275,000, and consumed ten
years' time.
The Erie has discovered that some
body has been counterfeiting its 1,000
mile books.
The Brooks Locomotive works, of
Dunkirk, Is shipping locomotives to
China and Japan. Several passed over
the Erie last week.

REASON FOR PSAI.MUEL'S FAITH.
Brer Psalmuel More, the sage of the
Great Bend Plain-Dealer, In comment
ing on the alleged finding of terra cot
ta and coal at Steam Hollow, Great
Bend township, says: "We have had
great faith in tho final success of this
enterprise ever since Mr. Hollenback
Informed us years ago that a fortune
teller In New York who knew nothing
of the mining Interests here had pre
dicted that there was mineral wealth
to be discovered In Steam Hollow. Be
sides this he had dreamed of such suc
cess. We are a believer In dreams
when they come to pass, and as a re
sult we are not surprised that there Is
terra cotta clay In. Steam Hollow."

Peregrinating Brer Ross, of the
Honesdale Independent, comes to the
front with a new remedy for the whoop
ing cough. The three-year-old child of
a Ledgedale family had the whooping
cough In a severe form. An old lady
happened along and told the father to
go to tho brook, catch a trout, mark
the place where he caught it and bring
It alive to the house. He did so, and
the woman took the trout out of the
pall, shook tho water from It and held
It so that three drops of water fell from
tho mouth of tho fish Into that of the
child. She replaced tho trout In the
pall and directed tho man to put It back
where he caught It, remarking: "The
boy Is cured of the whooping cough,
but the fish will die of it." The child
recovered. There Is no record of the
death of the fish.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, July 6. The stock market

dullness was less marked In the lending
Granger nnd Industrial stocks. St.

about one-third of the total dealings,

The bears find the labor troubles In the
bituminous 'coal Industry nn affective
weapon. Late In the day there was a
rally but It did not wipe out the earlier
declines entirely though it loft the net
losses generally small. Sugar fully
recovered and gained net and Lead
ehowed a fractional net gain. New
Jersey Central declined 2 points but
recovered all but a fraction. Net
