It has been ascertained that each mile of the 250,000 miles of the railway in the United States re quires'loo ties per year.

The damage by these accidents amounted to $2, IG2- Governor Pennypacker recently indulged in sarcasm in vetoing the bill prohibiting the killing of bear and cubs except during (Jie month of November. He says:"The bear is an animal not always of a gentle disposition and especially if it be a female bear with cubs. If a wan derer in the woods is attacked by such a bear in some other month than November what is he or she to do? Bears are sometimes the ag gressors and prove to be injurious to the crops and the sheep pens of the farmer. Is lie not to be permitted to protect his property save in the month of November? The bill pro vides that no bear is to be killed ex cepting with firearms. .Should a woodsman be attacked by a bear while cutting down trees in the woods may he not use his ax ?"
