On May 30, the morning mail to Muncy Valley was discontinued un til next fall. When the date was fixed upon for stopping the mail, it was assumed thnt the railroad would be giving us a morning train out, and so not cripple the business of the place. There is now but one mail South, and that in the afternoon, and the business men are thinking about having the Muncy Valley service continued throughout the entire year, as the railroad people show no signs of giving us an early June mail or passenger service. It is possible to make June one of the most pleas ant months of the season if the rail road people and the hotel people will put forth an effort to make it pleasant and convenient for the pub lic to visit us. Nature has made June a most delightful month at Eagles Mere and it is a pity that those interested in the town, wheth er in the entertainment or transpor tation line, do not wake up to the fact that good business is being lost through neglect.

I agree with experimental farmer when she says: "faithful are the wounds of a friend," and if she will allow me in a friendly way, pour balm on the wound inflicted by the Estella scribe. Being a woman my self, can perhaps help her reason it, ' but in a woman's way more to her satisfaction, as we know by repeated 1 investigation and experience that ' the food and surroundings material ■ ly affect the milk of cows. Perhaps your cow gets too much Kentucky blue grass or blue ginseng, or has breathed in too much of the atmos ' phere from those people iaubibing . too freely of the "certain kind of 9 vinegar" sold by the jug full, as it I causes them to use language that will turn everything blue. I would suggest feeding her plenty of yellow butfercups, as you say the country up there is full of water, and butter cups are indigenious to swampy land. And her cream will turn to gold When the butter is sold, And that cow will be your hope and your pride. Court Notes. William L. Woodruff vs Walter B.

Prosecutor to Pay Cost. The case of Com'th vs Howard Lyons was tried in Williamsport Wednesday, in which .Jonathan Miller charged the defendant with violating the election laws, which was doubtless brought for malice. After the evidence for the prosecu tion was all in. a motion was pre sented for the discharge of the de fendant upon the ground that as the prosecution had not presented any evidence that would warrant a conviction the defendant had noth ing to defend himself against. Judge Hart allowed the motion and directed the jury to place the cost wherever they thought the cost belonged. The cost was plac ed on the prosecutor. Postmaster General Payne may have erred in minimizing the im portance of flic irregularities and dishonesty which has prevailed in the Post Office Department, but the President will soon be in washing ton and the public may rest assured that he will be content with no at tempt at whitewashing.
