From theTowandu IJcview. i Under the heading, "the Lehigh to run into Towanda," we find the following in the Wilkes-Barre Re cord of Monday Morning: The Lehigh Valley Company will shortly make a change in their own line at Towanda, it is said by those who should know. The long iron bridge across the Susquehanna at that, place will be removed to a point below the borough and will be leconstrncted so as to give direct entrance into the heart of that place over the company's tracks of the Bernice branch. This will result in abandoning the depot above the town and will be a great convenience for the Company as well as the peo ple of that section, and will also shorten the route. This improve ment will be made as soon as a similar change at Athens is com pleted. HAD TOO MANY 'VES. The Hungarian Settles With One and la Sent to Jail fcy the' Other.
