SCHOOL BOARD SUSTAINED; A very important question, which j daring the past several years, has on a number of occasions puzzled the local School Board, has been definitely and quite justly decided for the local auth orities by the State Department of Health in a communication recently received by Borough Superintendent Gordy from the office of Commissioner of Health, Samuel G. Dixon, M. D. The point upou which the opinion was rendered was, to use the words of Mr. Gordy's letter, whether or not "pupils who leave home just before the development of a contagious dis ease, for the purpose of attending school, must remain away .'JO days fid lowing the fumigation of the house/' This point is not definitely covered by the school laws, and frequent dvmauds "have been made by parents, especially of late, that their children be allowed to attend the public schools when they have returned to their homes within the 30 days after fumigation. At the last meeting of the Board 011 January Bth, it was decided not to al low pupils to attend school during the 30 days following fumigation. Vigor ous exceptions were taken to tjiis rul ing, the claim being made that chil dren should Ik* allowed to return home immediately after the fumigation,and attend school from there. As a con sequence Superintendent Gordy was directed to get the opinion of the State Department of Health. In reply to Mr. Gordy's letter of query the following communication has been received from Harrisbnrg: Mr. U. L. Gonly, Supt. Danville Public Schools, Danville, Pa. Dear Sir:—Your esteemed favor of the 15th iust., relative to school ex clusions in contagious diseases is re ceived with thanks. Your attitude in refusing admission to school of pupils who would return to recently infected houses prior to the lapse of 30 days after disinfection of the premises is entirely satisfactory. It is hard to conceive the motive of pupils leaving home just before the development of a contagious disease in a family,for with the presence of sym ptoms that are suggestive of disease to "the householders is it not obvious that the members of that household had been exposed to the infection? Hav ing been exposed they should not leave home or be permitted to leave home prior to the expiration of the period of quarantine and as the law requires, not to attend school prior to the ex piration of the thirty days after the recovery of the patient and the disin fection of the premises. Thanking you for your interest in the matter I beg to remain, etc., FRED. C. JOHNSON, Chief Medical Inspector. SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFICERS MEET Representatives of Five Counties at Wllkes.Barre—Rev. C. D.

She is 84 years of age. WORK FUR BOARD OF TRADti The organization oft an Industrial and Improvement Company among the residents of the South Side has sug- : Rested the question whether a little activity among the members of the Board of Trade in Danville might not , serve to show that that organization is still alive and help to promote the business interest of the town and com munity. That a Board of Trade exists in Dan ville might not be kuown to many persons. When a meeting was held last is not clear but certain it is that very little Ims been heard from the organization in the way of steady org -1111 ized effort for a vear or more past. Meauwhile the need of activity to take care of our old industries and add new ones is as urgent as it ever was. Obviously tlie advantages for manu factories in Danville are so numerous and varied that the proposition of lauding new industries should not be a difficult one for an active Board of Trade to handle. The Knitting Mills and the Silk Mill, both large and im portant industries operated 011 a pay ing basis—their small beginning, the rapid growth and the promising future of each—illustrate that conditions abound here favorable for the success and development of all such enter prises. The Board of Trade following its re organizatimi some two years ago held regular meetings for se.veral months. The members are our best, our most active and most influential citizens. They are capable of accomplishing much good and it must be admitted that during their brief,though aggres sive campaign, they brought about ap preciable results, quite apparent in re newed enterprise and the promotion of business interests. The field was carefully looked over in the quest for new industries and thus the town was kept in touch with opportunity, such as existed. Small industries were set on their feet and the welfare of older ones was careful ly looked after. Time has brought no change in the short interval and the same conditions which made the Board of Trade useful in the past still exist today. There is still plenty of room for new industries in Danville while there nev er is a time that established industries do'not need looking after. Not one of' these for any reason should be per mitted to close. It is the Board of Trade alone that can keep in touch with the situation as it relates to .each industry and work for the general wel fare. It is hoped, therefore, that we shall hear of a meeting in a short time, as there are rumors of changes affecting one or more of our industries, that would seem to indicate that their fu ture is uncertain. AGRICULTURISTS MEETING State Board flet Yesterday at Har- ' risburg—Welcomed by Secre tary Critchfield. The twenty-ninth annual meeting of j the Pennsylvania State Board of Agri culture convened in the House caucus room at t lie capitol at Harrisburg yes terday morning with a fair attend ance. An address of welcome was made by Secretary Critchfield in the absence of Governor Penny packer, and credentials were received from the delegates. 3| Reports were received from Professor W. A. Buck out. botanist of State Col lege ; Dr. J. H. Funk, ]>omologist, of Boyerstown, and J. F. Boyer,of Free burg, of the Committee on Fruit and Fruit Culture. Live stock, bee cul ture, sauatatiou, good roads, wool and textile fabrics were discussed yester day afternoon. A session was held last evening at which distinguished soci alists spoke ami read papers, among them being Professor Shaw, of the University of Minnesota. Ice Crop a Failure. The local ice dealers have about de spaired of being able to gather a har vest of ice from the usual home sourc es. There has been no freezing weath er for a week or ten days past. The ice, which was at no time thick enough to harvest with profit, during the re cent warm spell has wasted away con siderably and the present outlook for a good crop or for ice worth cutting at all is very poor indeed. Our local dealers are now generally looking toward the Poeono Mountains, which proves a never-failing source of ice, in even the mildest of winters. A. M. Peters has just received a car load of the Poeouo product, which is four teen inches thick. Whether he will be J obliged to fill his ice houses with Po- J cono ice or not is uncertain, but it is I a source that he is glad to hold in re serve. A. Tj. Delcamp will always have a car load or so of Poeono ice on hand in the old Salvation Army barrack, but he will supply his trade by regular shipments from the mouutains kept up during the year. Railway Report of Casualties. In his report of steam railway ojier atious in this State for the past year, Secretary of Internal Affairs Brown gives important facts and figures relat ing to the largest trunk lines. During the year, the four big lines carried 95,578,859 passengers and 46 were kill ed and 1862 injured. The total casu alties for the year ou the four lines including passengers, employes and other i»ersons were 1329 killed and 8397 injured, divided as follows: Lohigh Valley, no passengers killed, 102 in jured, employes 40 killed, 988 injured ; other persons, 45 killed, 118 injured; Pennsylvania Company, 10 passeugers killed, 242 injured ; employes, 91 kill ed, 983 injured,otlier persons, 154 kill ed, 162 injured ; Philadelphia & Read ing, ft passengers killed and 158 injur ed ; employes 72 killed, 1361 injured ; other persons, 125 killed, 195 injured. Mark Twain iiints that millionaires are the worst law breakers in the country. Many a truth is spoken in jest. TWO KILLED AT SELINSGROVE A most distressing accident occurred | uoar Seliusgrove, Sunday evening about 7 o'clock when Miss Mary Corn- 11 wall, of Sunbury, formerly of Dan-i j ville, and Murray Heiler, of Selins- J; grove, were struck byau engine while . walking across the Pennsylvania rail- j road bridge at Seliusgrove and instant- , ly killed. Miss Cornwall had beeu spending . Sunday with Miss Bertha Jarret at Seliusgrove,and was to return to Suu bury Sunday night. As 110 passenger trains are run by the way of Seliusgrove on Sundays it was necessary to walk across the rail road bridge in order to catch the train for Sunbury at Seliusgrove Junction. Accordingly Miss Cornwall and Miss Jarret accompanied by Murray Heider and Cleveland Kratzer.of Seliusgrove, started to walk to Seliusgrove Junc tion. When the party arrived at the last spau of the bridge they heard a traiu coming iu the rear of them and Miss Jarret and Mr. Kratzer stepi>ed from the bridge to the pier,a place of safety Miss Cornwall and Heider believing that could reach the other side before the train arrived continued on and had just about readied the mid dle of the sj>au when au eugiue, car aud caboose came bearing dowu upon them runuiug at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. It is the general belief that the en gine came in such a swift and sudden mauuer that botli were terror stricken and before they could make au effort to save themselves were struck and killed. Several minutes after the train pass ed when Harry Lontz, the operator at Seliusgrove Junction,formerly of Sun bury, was walking to Seliusgrove he discovered the bodies on the bridge, both horribly mutilated. The boy had both legs almost completely severed from the body and his head was so badly crushed that the features were unrecognizable. Miss Cornwall was also terribly injured,both legs and one arm broken and partly severed from the body aud crushed about the chest. The lower part of her face was also badly bruised but she could easily be identified. The hotly of young Heider was taken to his home at Seliusgrove, while the remains of Miss Cornwall were placed on the passenger train and taken to Sunbury and thence to the un dertaking parlors of Ives and Hartmau to l»e prepared for burial. Mary Coruwall was aged 23 years, 5 mouths and 24 days, aud was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Corn wall, both now deceased. She is sur vived by one brother and two sisters, Mrs. Charles M. Stack, of Parkton, j Maryland, and Mrs. Isaac Leeser and Bert Cornwell, both of Sunbury. Miss Cornwall formerly lived in this city, being employed until last June iu the laundry at the Hospital. Prior to being at the Hospital she was em ployed at the City Hotel. The deceased was a member of the East End Mission while in this city. Murray Heider, had ho lived uutil next week would have been 15 years of age. His father is dead ami his step father, Howard H. Kliuger, is a well kuowu resident of Seliusgrove. The Gold Mine Was All Right. Eternal vigilance is the price of lib erty. It is also the price of several other things worth having. A number ' of heavy stockholders last Week fouud it to be a quality that stood them iu good stead in protecting their interest • in a well known gold mining Company doing business in this section. It is a heavy concern involving millions and uaturallv the investors became anxious to learn something of its inner work jugs. The outcome of it all was that last week James Scarlet representing a lot of local people went to New York to attend one of the Company's meet ' iugs. He went into the meeting mere ly as an investor armed with proxy from the stockholders. The keen aud trained intellect of the attorney was not idle aud before that meeting broke up there was a revelation. The General Solicitor and certain of the officials were apparently endeavor ing to mislead the stockholders and , absorb the concern. There was nothing { about Mr. Scarlet to suggest the aver age share holder—submissive and long suffering. He was too self-assertive ; . too much inclined to ask questions. r In fact it was ouly a short time uutil he had the hooks all laid open. He , made a thorough investigation of af fairs and exposed the iuuer workings • of the concern. Before that meeting adjourned iu consequence of the up heaval a new system was inaugurated and the stockholders who had feared that their money was lost, had been made to realize that any possible dis , Aster had been averted aud that their investments were as safe as they could be. Mr. Scarlet has beeu highly com plimented by stockholders iu different I parts of the country. Entertained Party From Sunbury » Miss Susie Bennett eutertaiued at her home in Rushtown, Friday even ing a party from Sunbury. Music and games were indulged in ami refresh ments were served. Those present were: Misses Paye Strouse, Nolle Murklf, Elizabeth Attic, Hose Neidig, Glendora Feaster, Ivy Ruthruflf and Panliue Rishel ;Messrs. William Lynn, William Drukeumiller, Harry Hoff man, William Linker, Bruce Bloom and Benjamin Mautz. Those from Rushtown were Bertha Moore, Frank Hartliue, Bruce Moore, Harold Bas set t and Jerry Bass**tt. Uovernor to be Invited. Wilkesrßarre will invite Governor Peunypacker aty\ Adjutaut General Stewart to attend its ceuteunial cele bration. Col, Dougherty, chairman of the Military Committee, exjiects to have the 3,000 soldiers in line 011 the day the military organizations are to par ade. The Wilkes-Barre Gas & Electric Light Co. has offered to furnish all the electric current necessary for the illumination of the city during the celebration free of charge. RIVERSIDE'S OPPORTUNITY | Riverside is looking forward to some I thing akin to a boom and it mast be | admitted that things were never more | favorable for growth in population I and a corresponding increase in market ■ values on the South Side. .The Dan ville and Sunbury Street* Railway has I created the opportunity. The spirit | and the enterprise is there; the eiti ; zeus are alert and will take ml vantage lof said opportunity. No big results are ever achieved without organiza tion. Therefore our neighbors on the South Side have formed the Riverside Industrial and Development Company capitalized at #20,000. The prime movers iu the enterprise are: Eli Hoover, W. T. Shepperson, W. R. Clark and Dr. A. T. DeWitt. Stock is fixed at #! per share and as soon jis the full amount of capital stock is sub scribed a p< raianeut organization will be effected,the above mimed gentlemen becoming the first board of directors. A. B. Pituer is acting as solicitor for stock for the new company. The first object of the Industrial and Development Company will be to pur chase the Van Nostraud farm and cut it up into c fy lots, fifty feet by one ; huudred and fifty feet. The Danville and Sunbury Street Railway runs along one side of the farm and it is held that no finer building sites on the South Side will be fouud than are included iu the Van Nostraud farm. The promoters are also striving hard j to land several new industries of the ( smaller sort on the South Side. One of those, which they will be pretty j likely to laud, is a foundry, suitable ( for the larger of the disused bnildiugs , belonging to the brick manufacturing ' plant at the lower end of Riverside. HUST NAME SPECIFIC TERH For Which Respective Candidates for Supervisors Are Nomi nated. Considerable trouble is being caused iu many parts of the State under the new township road law by the fact that many of the township caucuses fail to designate the term for which j the new supervisors are nominated. Under tlie law there are throe to be elected, one for one year, one for two years, and one for three years. The ! nomination is not legal nif less tiie term ' of the office for which tlie nomination ! is named is noted with the nam* of j the candidate. This is governed by | the present laws, and occurs likewise j when school directors, councilmen and j other such officers are to be elected for full or unexpired terms. A correspou- j dent wants to know how the law is to lie clearly carried out, suggesting that i three men nominated for short terms might have the highest number of votes, ami thus have none elected "Tor tlife full term of three years. This is easily explained iu the light of the above statements. When a man is uomiuated for supervisor, he must be , nominated, if at all, for one of the ■ three terms—one, two, or three years, and it must be definitely stated. Once nominated for a one-year-term, he can not be elected to the office for any oth er term at that election. For instance, a man uomiuated for a one-year term might securo more votes than any of [ the three-year or two-year nominees, • yet fail of election in case he did not t get more votes than the other oue-vear t nominees. In cases where nominations have • been made and the term of the uomi , uees for sujiervisor have not been giv [ en, the papers are returned to the oftic ; ers that the terms may be set out. Train Boy Eliminated. The newsboy on the traiu who tries to sell you newspapers, fruit, confec , tiouery, magazines and all sorts of uovelties and gimcracks is now but a memory. Loug ago ho was eliminat ed from the main line of the Pennsyl vania railroad, and now its two prin cipal feeders, the Philadelphia and Erie aud the Northern Central, have given the word that the traiu agent must go,and he made his last trip Sat- i unlay night as far north as Erie,on the P. & E., aud Cauaudaigua on the Northern Central, and as far South as Baltimore on the Northern Ceutral. No more will the resonant crying of his wares be hoard on the fast flyers, the mails,the expresses and the locals. His shrill voice will no longer cry out a warning to the passengers that he is coming with "Mo'uiu' papez! All the lates' maggyzeeus! Fresh Figs! Fine coufeckshuuery and nigh seatiu ap pluz!" The latter presumably "nice eating apples " On Saturday night as each man pass- L ed through the headquarters city he was informed that after Sunday eveu • ing his services would no longer be re quired. To some it • was a stunning blow, for they have grown gray in the service,and do not kuow where to look for employment. There was not a hint that the blow was about to fall. They were simply told that* they were no longer wanted. Among those who felt the axe were 41 Sawdust Jimmy" Kelly,a train news agent for thirty-five years, first in the employ of Riley & Sargent then with the Union NeWs Company,which controls the privilege of selling at sta tions and heretofore 011 trains. It is said that tfie abolition of the free passes is directly res]>ousiblo for the abolition of the train agent. The latter was not a railroad employe and the news company was notified that it must pay faro for him. That was something that caused a monetary loss to the news company, and the result was that the news agents had to go. It is sa<l! Iu time he was a king of the trail) and bossed the conductor. He goes with the free pass. School Superintendents. Tlus third auuaal meeting of the County School Superintendents of Pennsylvania will be held again this year iu tlie assembly room of the Har risburg High School on February 7th., and an excellent program has been pre pared by Professor George \V. Moore, of Chester county.secretary of the State Educational Society. BLASTING CAUSES RUNAWAY A horse attached to J. B. Cleaver's delivery wagon took fright at the sound of blasting at the Bessemer blast furnace on Saturday and managed to separate himself from the vehicle iu record -breaking time. The wagon was on Railroad street just opposite the wide gateway lead ing into the Structural Tubing Works, when an unusually loud blast occurred, which struck the beast with terror. The driver was unsuspecting and the horse crouching first, gave a spring with such force and suddenness as to rip the harness asunder and to clear the shafts, at a single bound, after which in his fright he went galloping out Railroad street at doubtless the best rate of si>eed he ever attained. Tho mud on Railroad street at the Structural Tubing Works Saturday was somothing fearful to contemplate, a black slough more the consistency of water than mud, which like a bed of mortar lay between tho two sidewalks. Stranded in the midst of this was the delivery wagon with the driver still sitting on the seat watching the re treating horse with the broken harness like so many ribbons fluttering arouud him and the mud flying right and left. The whole thing occurred in a mo ment audit was some time before the driver could take in the situation; then he climbed down out of the wag lonI on into the mud, which was over ankle ' deep. Meanwhile tho horse was caught near the clock factory. • The swingle tree of the delivery I wagon was broken and it was not un til after a good deal of delay and much I wading arouud iu the mud that the 1 horse was rehitched ami the wagon ! drawn from the spot. DIED FOR THE GIRL HE LOVED Young Murray Heider Sacrificed Life in Effort to Save His Sweetheart. A sad feature has developed iu the case of Mary Cornwall, of Sunbury, ' and Murray Heider, of Soliusgrove, who were killed by a freight train Sunday night while attempting to 1 cross the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge in order to catch a northbound train at Soliusgrove Junction, j It has boon learned that the young I man could have escaped death, but that j while trying to save his betrothed, he ! was killed with her. It is believed ; that Heidor had reached tho other side !of the track safely, when, soeing his fiancee's danger, he wont to her res ' cue, and was killed with her. Lincoln Literary Society.

The Harrisburg Independent says: Senator Godcharles, of Northumber land county, has prepared a senatorial apportionment bill, which has not yet b&m made public, in which he makes compact aud contiguous districts with out cutting into any of the counties. Theie is a strong disposition on tho part of a number of senators to op pose the senatorial apportionment bill prepared by Governor Ponuypacker, and introduced by Senator Roberts, and before the governor's bill gets by the senate—if it ever does—it will meet with lots of hard knocks. Al ready the Democrats of Berks county luivo taken measures to prevent a part of the county from being attached to Chester to form a district, and the Berks county Democratic committee is taking measures to contest the con stitutionality of such a bill in the courts, announcing that they will go clear up to the higher courts if neces sary. Surprise Party. A pleasant surmise party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hartline, Monday evening, iu houor of their son, Frank's 16th birthday.

Election of Supervisors. Iu some townships a wrong impres sion prevails concerning the new sup ervisors law. Some people erroneously maintain that two supervisors will be elected under the old laws unless the township votes to change to a money tax. The people are wrong. Three supervisors must be elected in Feb ruary, whether you retain the old work and money tax or whether'you vote to change to a money tax. You have no choice in this matter. That law is mandatory ami you must elect three supervisors. JURORS FOR FEBRUARY TERI Following is a list of Jurors drawn for the February term of Court, 1906. GRAND JURORS.

A little group of old timers, kind red spirits, who love to dwell on the past, were seated in M. H. Schram's store the other evening. As usual their thoughts ran back ov. r b>-goue days. Mauy curious stoiies were told. One of these was caught ou the fly by a News scribe and iu an abbreviated form is hero presented as a sample of all the others. Oscar Melliu had tho floor aud he related au odd circumstance to illus trate how an unfailing memory may be relied upon to help one out in mauy au emergency. It was sixteen years ago. Oscar said, he was out hunting on tho other side of the river. While tramping through one of the hollows below Kipp's Run he discovered to his horror that he had lost his tobacco. In the successful pursuit of game with Oscar plenty of tobacco was as essential as powder and shot for the fowling piece. The man was thiukiug seriously of giving up the hunt when ho heard a farmer ploughing in one of the fields nearby. Ho made his way out of the brush and approaching the farmer made his plight kuowu. Now, no matter what kind of a man a tobacco chewer may lie he is always liberal—with his tobacco. The a large plug, which he hamled to Oscar, The latter bit off a good mouthful aud before re turning the tobacco offered to buy the whole plug. There was no store near aud the farmer could no more plough without tobacco tliau Oscar could shoot squirrels without it; under the circumstauce the weed was as dear to tho agriculturist as it was to Oscar and money was no price. The best that Oscar could do was to ocouomize his mouthful of tobacco and pursue game as long as it lasted. For awhile he had good luck, then as all the stimulating qualities became ex tracted from the mouthful of tobacco he lost his cuuuiug and no more game came his way. He gave up finally aud decided togo home. Tramping along toward town he came to Alem Scolder's hollow at Kipp's Run. Here Oscar's good mem ory came to his rescue. The sight of the familiar hollow reminded him of another huntiug excursion nine years before when he was accompanied by half a dozen or more companions. He remembered that the party partook of a luuch iu the hollow—at a poiut whore one of the sides of the glen was formed of a solid wall of rock which loaued inward over the creek formiug a shelter. What Oscar recalled with es pecial interest was the fact that after the luuch the party being suddenly called to the hunt threw away their cigars, none of which were much more than half smoked. Oscar, who was always economically inclined,did not like to see the waste aud merely as a whim gathered up the half-smoked cigars from the ground and securely tucked them aw r ay iu a cleft of the ov erhanging rock where the.y were high aud dry. He thought nothing more about them until he recalled the ep isode on the second huutiug trip. What if the cigars still remained iu their hidiug place? It took him only a miuute to find out. A brief search revealed the exact spot where the party had eateu luuch. The overhaugijjg rock was there and there, too, was the cleft. Oscar inserted his haml and as good luck would have it there were the cigars, or fragments of cigars,just as they were deposited there nine years before. Oscar didn't go home—not right away. He continued his hunt, tramp ing up ami down the hollow aud over the fields on each side. Meanwhile lie chewed the cigars, which with age had increased wonderfully iu potency and flavor so that the game bag that Oscar carried was not largo euough to hold all the game that fell under his unerr ing aim that day. Fire at Mt. Carmef. A row of five dwelling houses were destroyed by fire at Mt. Carmel ou Monday night. Tho blaze was discov ered about 8 o'clock. The origin is un known. The loss m $2500, partly cov ered by insurance. The Mt. Carmel House, which adjoins the dwellings, was damaged to the extent of S2OOO. ALL LICENSES ABE GRANTED Applications for licenses in the coun ty covering hotels, restaurants, brew eries and wholesale liquor stores were passed upon Court Friday and without any exception were granted. There was little formality or delay about it. Court/convened at 10 o'clock with His Honor Judge Little and As sociates BlCe ami Wagner on the bench ; it was only a few minutes after 11 o'clock when all busiuesK was disposed of and Court arose. The batch of forty applications were hamled to the court, who in answer to a question were iufonned that no re monstrances had beeu presented and that each application as required by law was represented by an attorney. The Court read over the list later mak ing the aunouucement that each ap plication would lie granted as read subject to approval of bond. Judge Little explained that the re cent order of court fixing the hour of opening and closing the drinking places of the county had caused some dissatisfaction, in certain directions, especially among the employes of the rolling mills and lie was of the opin ion that it might have to be modified somewhat. He suggested that the As sociates appoint a committee who should investigate conditions and at the next term of Court make a report as to their views in the premises. His Honor left the bench and re turning in a few minutes with ap- I»irently different views as to the pro cedure announced that the Order of Court heretofore relating to the open ing and closing of the drinking places would be modified and that hereafter the hour of opening would be at 4 a. m. instead of at <> a. in., while the hour of closing would remain accord ingly to the order, 12 o'clock, mid night. The above modification of Judge Staples' order pretty generally meets the approval of the hotel keepers, i There are still some who do not like the idea of closing at 12 o'clock,claim ing that it is impracticable and causes | embarrassment when sleighing parties j and the like are entertained as is pretty sure to happen during the winter sea sou. These functions do not always break up at midnight,yet at 12 o'clock the landlord is obliged to close his bar. " To Protect the Quail. The thorough restocking of game covers is urged iu a report issued by the Department of Agriculture ou "game conditions in January." Now that the hunting season is prac tically over, the report says, the Biological Survey suggests that efforts be directed towards insuring more ef fective protection of game and an ad equate supply for the future. Owing to the nou-migratory character of quail and the consequent depletion of var ious localities where hunting has beeu excessive,or the birds have been killed off by the severity of the past two winters,restocking is frequently neces sary ; but the demand for live birds for this purpose far exceods the available supply. The difficulty is augmented by the fact that southern birds are scarcely hardy enough to stand north ern winters, and hence it is difficult for northern States to secure birds suited to the climate. The game com missioners of some States, particularly Massachusetts and New Jersey for sev eral years past have endeavored to ob tain a supply of quail, but have been only partially sucqessful. Perceiving that absence of food and shelter is the principal cause of mort ality, State officials,game associations and many private individuals have united iu attempting to make good these deficiencies. Grain and other food have beeu distributed freely ami systematically after heavy snow falls, wheu the usual food is covered, aud suitable shelter has been provided. P. B. Heddens' Birthday.
