Miss Tererra Fries is still con lined to the house with a slightly fractured knee and torn ligament, the result of an accident a few weeks ago. Settlement having been made the Dunham property in Laporte that was advertised for sale, will not be sold. Mr. A. K. Botnford of Nordmont has purchased a large ranch in texas, and with his family will move his family to that distant land the early part of next Oftober. On Tuesday of last woek the Register and recorder of Lycom ing county issued a marriage li cense to Miuard Peters of Nord mont, and Emma E. Wilson of Unity ville. On Wednesday night of last week Laporte experienced a genu ine winter snow storm which with a strong wind continued until noon Thursday when it changed to hail and rain accompanied by thunder and lightning. The atrn osphere, however, continued so cold that by nightfall fences, trees, shrubs etc. were encased in ice. All thoughts of spring vanished and the town presented a typical mid-winter scene. While in conversation a few days ago with Mr. Martin Mullen, we were informed that the abomi nable weather of the latter part of last week was not the worst ever experienoed at that season of tin year by our older people. Mr. Mullen stated that forty years ago on the night of May < *.ll i there was a two-foot fall of snow. The weath er had been quite warm before and farmers, thinking that spring had j come, had turned their sheep and j lambs into the pasture fields. On! the morning after the big snow it was with much difficulty that the sheep were found, and nearly all the lambs had been frozen to death. Howard Littla, a fourteen year old boy of Forksville, will, here after. be able to swap fish stories with any fisherman in the county, aud he need not draw on his im agination to tell the champion sto ry. A few days ago he started out for a fish in Elk Creek, near the E, G. Rogers farm, and it was not long until Howard began to think that a sea monster must have gotten ' into the creek, as there was a ter-! riffic jerk on his line, but he too then gave a terriffic jerk and sue- i ceeded in pulling the "monster" | oat of the water when it proved ; to be a California trout that meas- i ured 21 inches and weighed three' and one-half pounds. Mrs. Rachel Little died at her' home at Hillsgrove, Monday April; 26, aged 83 years. Mrs. Little was widely known for her charity and other good works. She and her j late husband, Ezra Little, having j no children of their own, reared a ! number of their nieces and neph- j ews, among them being Mrs.! Mable Ritter of this place. The tir-it box of cherrie# of the season arrived in Philadelphia mar-! ket Wednesday, shipped from Va-! caville, California, and when put up 1 for sail at auction was disposed of at three dollors per pound- The box enntianed ten pounds, Heifer Lives Two Weeks Without Food. : A two year olil heifer was found missing on the F. 15. Jewett farm i operated by Earnest Wescott Brook- I lyn township, about three weeks ! ago, but it search did not prove suc cessful, and it was supposed that it had been stolen. A lew days ago, one of Mr Wes cott's daughters while playing near the barn heard a peculiar noise, and telling her parents, a search was made under the barn, and the lost animal was found under the floor, on her side, wedged in so tight that she could not move. She had been here in this position two weeks, without food or water, but was still alive; and it is thought she will recover. The back was raw where she had struggled to rise. The animal had fallen through the Moor from above, and as the barn was very large and the animal black, a previous search under Un burn had failed to reveal her, and she was apposed to have been stolen. —Montrose Democrat. When Wu-Ting Fang declared that under proper conditionsall men might live to be one-hundred years of age he was aco fieri at. Of course many men have rounded out the century of their existence, but ac cording to this noted Chinaman all men could reach that advanced age if they were to comply with certain rules and regulations. Now comes another philosopher who states that man might live to be one-thousand years old if he would follow his in structions winch in his opinion are simple and easily complied with. The trouble is that there are so many men who subscribe to the old hymn, "1 would not live always" that this scientist's advice will not be gener ally followed. All that is necessary to reach an age in advance of that Methuselah of old is for men to wear nothing but white clothing; to eat little except vegetables and nuts, and avoid meat milk and flesh of all kinds. The recipe seems simple enough, in fact, too simple. How many men are willing to give up the luxuries of this life even when promised a long er existence in this world? What man is goifig to deprive himself of of the pleasure of partaking of the best things in life merely that he may be enabled to .encumber this earth a thousand years? Unfortu nately for this 'philosopher he has no sample of the effort of his theory to show us. Baseball is the greatest of all American games and wherever you go the national game is played. It is now the most interesting of all sports in the Sporting World. Base ball means pleasure, recreation and 1 health. In the PHILADELPHIA I'KKSS you will find the Baseball news cov ered very thoroughly,-completely ! and accurately by experts and the J funny side depicted by Hugh Doyle, the famous cartoonist. The scores of the American Nati | onal League and other important teams are printed in full. The PHILADELPHIA PRESS is the known authority of the en tire Sporting World for its complete ness, accuracy, and liability. Give ; it the reading test. A Large Attendance of Representativs Patrons at Little Falls, N. Y. The stiitcinaster's representatives In the various counties are an Important body of men, and on them rests very largely the upbuilding of the Order. The New York county deputies held their annual meeting in connection with the state grange meeting, J. J. Burden of hitario county being presi dent, of the organization. S Several papers were read on mat ters of special interest to the deputies. Deputy Harden discussed "The Depu i ty's Duty to the State Master," In whi««h he remarked that the deputy should be in harmony with the state i master in all his work and stand ready I to relieve him from any unnecessary burdens In Ids county. lie should be ! qualified to exemplify the unwritten j work perfectly and Insist that the sub ordinate granges in his jurisdiction t conform rigidly to the required forms and usages. He should also see that reports of the work in the county are promptly reported to the state master. I Deputy Fred Sliepnrd read a paper on "How to Organize a Grange." glv- I ing largely his personal methods and I experiences. No one can advise all on I this subject, as c.oudltions vary, lie ' said that all ttie Information necessary ! should lie given those who cortein ' plate becoming members of the Order ■ and emphasized the necessity of pre senting those features of the work that | most appeal to those seeking niember j ship. Better not organize than to do so by any misstatements or exaggerations. Other papers were read on "Grange Inspection' and on "Reports to the State Master." HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT. Master of New York Grange on the | Subject of Better Road*. In his nnnual address to the New- York state grange Master F. N. God frey bad this to say: "Concerning highway Improvement, much of the work already done on the highways seems to huve been done without due consideration to permanency. With the supervision of this work now placed In the hands of a commission, future Improvement of the highways should be attempted on the basis of permanency and economy. The most Important roads In the state are the market roods, and these Should re ceive sufficient consideration, while the tmnk lines may be generally ex tended for the pleasure seeker." Mr. Godfrey believes that there Is too much expense In the preliminary work and that 5 per cent of the total cost should cover this part of the work. He remarked that the grange expected much of the highway com mission and could assure Its members that the organization would stand by them In the honest discharge of their duties.
