.Judge Scott in his remarks to the
t J rand Jury at Easton laid great
stress upon the necessity of the en
forcement of the law to destroy Ca
nada thistles, which grow extensive
ly iu Northampton County. II"
said he had received numerous com
plaints from different sections of the
county and then quoted the law of
isttt), showing that it was a direct
violation of the law to allow the
growth of this obnoxious weed.
The Judge further quoted the penal
ty and tine, remedy for persons ag
grieved, duties ot constables and su
pervisors, and Mated that supervis
ors are to destroy all such growing
on the public roads and notify own
ers of unseated land.
While unloudiui; a car coal :tt his i
coal dock in Catawissa, Marvin
Grimes of that town, underwent a
most unpleasant experience as the
result of a very peculiar accident,
which fortunately had no serious
consequences.
The hopper in the bottom of the
car had been opened to allow the
coal to run out. Grimes was stand
ing on top of the coal in the car and
approached too close to the spot uu
di r which was the open hopper. Be
fore discovering his predicament he
was sucked down with the coal into
the hopper, and when Ids body
stopped the outflow of coal the hop
per closed on him and held him fast
with his legs resting on the track and
hisheadon the inside of the car. in
this position, surrounded by coal, he
remained for over an hour until dis
covered by some linemen who dug
him out and released him from hi s
j. situation. He was at lii>t to weak
ito stand, but later fully recovered
! from the experience.
| A fanner living not far from Du
-1 shore recently went to the pastor of
: his congregation and asked that his
• name be taken oil the church list.
••What is the trouble, Brother
j Jones?" asked the surprised pastor.
"1 supposed you was a faithful
follower of the Lamb." Well, I
sorter believed that myself, but
there is no use talking, a man can't
' serve the Lord when he has to nulk
' four cows in fly time. After the
' first heavy frost I'll try this church
' busine-: just IKIA 1 either

The Hebrew New Voir will begin
;it sunset Friday, tin- i'.uh. inst., ami
will be celebrated the whole day Sat
urday following. From the four cor
ners of the earth during this time the
prayers of the Hebrews will ascend,
to the Throne of Mercy, thanking the
<;iverof All for the blessings of life,
health, peace and prosperity enjoyed
during the past year and imploring
a continuance of the same blessings
during the year to come. The New
Year, called "Kosli llashonon", is
celebrated according to the Bible on
the first day of the seventh month,
Tishri, and the lli.irtws are com
manded to congregate in a holy con
versation.
Yom-Kippur, the Day of Atone
ment, occurs on the tenth day of
Tishiri, and will be celebrated by the
1 lebrews on the !Uh. of October. As
in the case of all llebicw holidays,
Yom-Kippur begins with sunset on
Sunday evening, October the eighth,
us according to the Scriptures the
day begins with the evening. Yon
Kippur with the Hebrew is the ho
liest of all holidays, and is kept as a
Sabbath of the Sabbaths, a day of
-trict abstinence from all work and
earthly pleasures, a day of repentance
n)' public and strict lonfession, a day
of forgiveness and good resolution
for the tuKire. The strict followers
of the I'.iiVle deny that their physical
body all food for twenty.four hours.
A part of the ' in Kippur morning
service is ihe "memorial service",
w here for departed ones, special
prayvrs are said * ud their names
mentioned.
An exchange saj . A* ride over the
Wyoming Valley at the present time
would convince you that the next
l>ig coal strike will develop conditions
bordering on civil war. All tin 1 col
li res arc surrounded by stockades of
heavy planks, about a dozen feet
high. In almost every instance these
stockades are so built as to include
high ground, from which ob'crva
tions can be made of the surrounding
country. In fact the stockades look
like the inelosures we see in old
prints, where our fore fathers defend
ed themselves against the Indians,
and it is plain even to the person not
a soldier that theeolliries have been
putin good conditon for defense.
Non union men can be taken inside
the stockadi, live there in barracks,
and operate the mines, regardless of
an army of strikers outside. The
new trespass law affords the coal
companies ample protection, and any
assault on the stockades will lead to
a battle. If another general strike
is declared next April, we look for
trouble in the Wyoming Valley.
The board of health of Mt. Vernon,
N. Y., has passed an ordinance,
vviiich went into effect on Saturday
I • -it, forbidding roosters to crow, dogs
to bark, bells to toll, and engines to
tool their whistles between 10 o'clock
at night and C> o'clock in the morn
ing. Fines ranging from five to
fifty dollars arc the penalties for in
fractions of the ordinance. The
housewives are busy instructing the
ha. . aid folk ill the new ordinance.
The Lehigh coal company lias
given notice to Ino families at Cen
tralia, Columbia county, that they
intend to mine coal in the Primrose
workings of ihe Centralia colliery,
which are directly under the houses
and near the surface. The coal com
pany officials fear that the houses
may be swallowed up by the earth,
hut the families notified refuse to
move for the reason that they don't
j know where to go. If the company
continues working the veins a dis-
I aster may happen any day.
| Thousands of dollars have been
lost by peach growers in Snyder
'county- within the week, yet the
crop was the finest ever marketed.
A host of unknown commission
buyers were attracted to the dis
trict and train loads of peaches
w ere shipped by t he obliging agents.
When a remittance for the peaches
•\as received, instead of getting the
coveted dollar or a dollar and a half
pi-r basket, as expected, their pay
it is said averaged only I s cents.

The September 1 >ii 111'ti11 of tln*
State Agricultural Department con
tains tlic follow ing practical hints for
the farmer:
Apple, pear and quince trees yet
have fruit from which the codling
moth is escaping and hands ot cloth
-hould he kept around tl.em in order
to trap and destroy these pests.
The apple maggot or railroad
maggot is a fly larva which hores
winding tunnels through the pulp of
the fruit. The best possible treat
ment is to destroy the infected fruit
as soon as possible l>v feeding to
stock before the fly larva hayo lime
to escape to the ground.
Asparagus should he sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture during this mouth
or cut and burned.
Uean vines and pea vines should
be turned by throwing them into a
brush tire as soon as their crops are
picked. This will destroy both the
plant diseases and insects which they
carry, and if done early enough is a
good means of destroying the very
troublesome pea louse and prevent
ing its occurance next year.
Berry plants of all kinds are best
preserved by cutting and burning
the old canes now, if this has not
been done sooner. The vines of
blackberries, raspberries and dew
berries bev 'iut one crop on each
cane or vinv 1 should consequently
be burned no\y will not only
destroy the pea hey may contain
but will also give oppurtnnity for
development of the new canes. It
is not to late to mow and burn the old
leaves of strawberry plants, but this
-hould be no longer delayed. Black
berries with rust should be taken out
and burned root and branch.
Cabbage and cauliflower may bo
attacked by black rot, and as there is
no remedy for tbis desease the infect
ed plants should be pulled and
burned or used as soon as the
first evidences of it appear. It does
not injure the plants for food for
either mankind or live stock, but
every article of plants with hi.-. • rot
should be destroyed by tire in let
to destroy the cause of the disea- .
The corn crop in the southern
counties of the state is meeting lin
early expressed expectations that it
will break the record and the farmers
are cutting what they call "a bump
ier crop." The yeild for some acres
is the largest known by farm ' >nd
all over the counties mention) d ihere
are bi<; fields being harvested. Near
ly all the corn is cut and escape)l
injury by frost. Some fanners are
already talking of putting out big
crops next year because there are
indications that this will be a good
one to sell. The potato crop will
not be as large as last year, when
one of the best paying crops known
I was gathered. The apple crop is
small, much fruit having fallen
when very small, and little cider
will be made. The pear crop is
very good.
The Carnegie Steel company at
Pittsburg will 011 Siitunlay have the
largest semi -monthly pay-roll in the
history of the Pittsburg district,
when $2,000,00(1 will lie paid its work
men. This will be a three weeks'
pay, which occurs once each ipiarter.
The usual two weeks' pay amounts
to $1,000,000, but this time double
and sometimes triple time has been
made by the workmen.
Now that the school term is opened
for the current year, be sure, that
when one of your youngsters conn s
home complaining, that you know
both sides of the case. Your good
boy (pretending I'ereie) or girl at
home, may be just the reverse away
from home. When he or she hap
pens to be the "boss" at home it is
quite likely that the same tactics will
not work in school and there i» apt to
be friction. Ueniember that teach
ers are human and they make mis
takes as well a* anyone. .. >ove all
. if the teacher is doing his IK st, though
it may not be up to the standard,
! have sense enough to let him alone,
particularly if you must admit that
i you know nothing of the business
yourself, (iive the teacher half a
chance and if lie i- worthy of the
name In*will work out hi- own »al
vation, and the coiiimunil > will be
(he better for the support jou give
