Among those who came to La porte to east their vote were Frank Shoemaker of Bucknell, Mr. Geo. Shoemaker; and Richard Peunock of State College. Mrs. William Shoemaker has returned from Minnesota, where she spent the summer.

The High School pupils had quite an interesting debate Fri day afternoon. Question: Resolv ed that there would be be a great calamity in the country if Win. J.

Plenty of game is predicted for the next two years as a result of flu forest tiros which have raged in more than a dozen mid-state count ies, by Dr. J. O Kalbus, secretary to the state game commission, who has visited the burned areas. lie says that the damage done to the forests is great, hut that game did not suffer much as the animals and birds were sufficiently developed to get out of the way. The lire was so great that it destroyed the large ttees, and the areas burnt d over will be covered with young grass and new shoots next year, so that there will l>* flue grazing grounds for the animals the coining summer. This fact will do much to provide sustenance for the game.

The bulletin of the Pennsylvania State Railroad Commission covering accidents reported as having occured during the month of August, on the lines of railroads and street railways of the state, shows that <>4 per cent, occured on railroads and !i(i per cent, on street railways. The bulletin classifies railroad accidents, not only by a character of the accident, but also showing' the number of killed and injured under the heading of "Employes" "Passen gers." "Tresspassers" and' "Others." This last refers to persoms injured at grade crossings. Th e classifi cation applies in tabulation of street railway accidents, exec pit that the word "others" is used to cover ac cidents occuring to person,s traveling on public high-ways whicl i are also occupied by street railwaj" tracks. A feature of the report is the large number of trespassers killi <1 on the railroads. Under the classification of fatal injury to trespassei s, consti tuted <>:; per cent, of all de ith occur ring on railroads during th e month. Oyer 28 per cent, of latal injuries on railroads was suffered by employes and 7(i per cent, of injuries suffered on railroads occured to employes.

Miss Myrl Phillips was a Muncy Valley visitor Saturday. Gibson Rider lias moved his fam ily to this place. Mr. Hideo's former residence was located so as to make tha distance inconvenient to a school house. The change w ill grealy remedy this, anil will therefore be a j benefit to his children. Harvey Phillips is hauling liis winters supply of wood from the saw mill at Sonestown, lie believes this can be done cheaper than pro curing the same from the forests. Frank lleece of North Mountain visited friends at this place Satur day. While here he took an active part in the ball game between this place and Marsh Run, being on the winning side he considers his visit an honorable one. Thomas Swank of Emmons, a for mer contractor with the Penn sylvania Lumber Company, was seen shaking hands with old ac quaintances at this place last, week. Thomas Sherwood was a business caller at Lungerville Saturday- Robert Warburton of North Mountain, while bawling apples to this place last week, had the misfor tune of having the pole of bis wag on broken in three pieces. The team was left to stand by themselves for a short time, and for some unknown cause started to run away but was soon braught to a standstill- With the exception of the broken pole the damage to the wagon was slight. Fred Arms who is holding a po s'ltion iu New York State, is visit ng his parents at this place, he will however return to that place some day next week where he will re sume work again. Miss. Bessie Fulmer has accepted a position as clerk for her uncle George W. Myers at Muncy Valley. At this time of the year every yard which has shade trees, has also an accumulation of leaves; and how to dispose of them is a question which naturally confronts not a few of our people. Usually they are raked into heaps or winrows and burned in the early evening. But as the clothing of women and child ren frequently take fire at such times, not a few boroughs and municipal ities have passed ordinances, pro hibiting this means of disposal, A saner and easier way to get rid of the leaves, is to put them up on the gajden, piling them in heaps to be rottened during the winter then scattered on the ground for a fertilizer in the spring. There is nothing that so enriches the soil as decayed leaves, and they can now be had in abundance, the ground being thickly carpeted with them. Trial List, December Term 1008..
