The Bradford Star truthfully says;
As a usual thing, people invariably fail
to notice or appreciate tho pleasant and
conplimentary items that appear in news
papers regarding them, but are most un
reasonable, rapid and unfair in using
blunt criticisms and harsh words about a
reporter and newspaper wheu an item
appears that doesn't just please them, re
gardless of how much care may have
boon exorcised in securing tho informa
tion or how reliable the informant should
be considered. Any newspaper is always
ready to make corrections when facts are
misstated and none, worthy f the name,
will publish an item wrong if he knows
it.
Tho State Department of Fisheries is

best species lor market purposes. They
are now ready for shipment, and persons
desiring to experiment in frog culture
may have a supply on application to the

and send them away well satisfied and
much mystified. Some "Smart Alex"
attempted to"got next" to the mystery
by cutting through Ihe rear of bis tent
last Saturday evening, but were foiled.
The parties who perpetrated this offeuse
were perhaps not aware that they were
committing a crime which would mean
a heavy tiuo and imprisonment for them
if apprehended. The borough authori
