"Cue" Although this place cannot boast of either hotel, store or blacksmith shop, it is a very busy one.Last week the schools wore closed for the holi days, but the skating was not good, nor could the small boys take their sleds and coast, for snow had not come, but the mud had. We hope it will not stay. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Atherton of South Easton spent a part of hist woek with G. W. Kellam hor brother. They also visited around among old friends and neighbors. This was their former home. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pellett, of Ellonvillo, spent Thursday night of lost week with his brother, C. A. Pellett, and it was a night to be re membered for windand rain.

Mast Hope, Jan. 1 Through Dr. Hudden, we learned of the death of Mr. A. B. Ogdon, one of the founders and a valued member of the Forest Lake Association Mr. Isaac Jennings, who has been very ill for the pant week, is im proving and hopes are now enter tained for his recovery.

A deninnd hns lioon miido in the city markets for five weeks old chickens. A wealthy ninn stopping ntaliotol in Pnris wns served with a ni( plump bird just enough for one.

A large stock farm in Maryland, which makes a specialty of poultry, sold to n sin gle hotol in New York the imstyear, 20,000 young chickens. The fashion hns spread among the rich until n plump five weeks old chicken now brings in the market, ns much ns n largo broiler. This means n gnin to the feeder of nt lenst two months' feeding. A fad or a fashion will work wonders. froien Up. The Democrats in the house did not make a very brilliant showing in the debate on the Tnriff bill Dec 28th. The chill air of the min ority side of the house seems to have affected their fancy, wit nnd flow of language This should not discourage any aspiring young man who dreams of fame in tho shadow of the Czar. Most great legislative reputations hnve lioon inndo in op position. The urent Thomas li. is a case in point. Ho would not have a collection of gavels now if he had not mndo his mark nt tho opening of his enroer ns a destructive critic. New York Sun. Electric Light for Blilrstown.

The com plaint was made by Mrs Tillie Fort ner, of South Easton, who has also had several South Eastonians arrest ed for holding cock fights. Press. Shot Wild 6at. Herbert Unangst, of Williams township, called at the court house last week to receive a premium of $2 for having killed a wild cat near his home. He had the animal with him. It weighed ten pounds and had a head the same shape as that of a tiger. Mr. Unangst caught the cat in a trap and shot it when the animal was trying to break tho rather frail chain to attack him Free Press. Congressional Gossip. Northampton Democrats are likely to bury past indifferences and unite for the congressional fight. Among the gentlemen named for the honor are two from this town, J. Davis Brodhend and Warren A. Wilbur, either of whom would be acceptable. Congressman Hart will no doubt be a candidate. Monroe will have a favored son' and good old Carbon, if its Democrats settle their feud, will have a part in it. Our old time friend, E. R. Eubody, is active ; he has the ability to re present the district satisfactorily to all interests. Maunch Chunk Times South Bethlehem Note.

An actual trial of the invention, in presence of numer ous witnesses, resulted in a half mile in 31 seconds. It can bo ad justed to any wheel. A Banker' Advice. Baron Rothschild was asked by a friond of his to advise him in the matter of a couple of financial trnns actions, one of which offered a very large rate of interest, the other much smaller one. If you want to dine well, " the Baron replied, after a moment's re flection, " go in for the first ; if you want to sleep well, invest in the second. " Le Figaro. ThU Shots Oat America.
