(Ppeclal Correspondence to the Prem.) DiNdMAN's Ferry, April IB. Miss Re becca Niles died at her home in Lehman, near Briscoe's, on Friday last. The funeral took place on Sunday from the R. D. Church, at Dlngmnn's, and wns preached by Rev. W, G. Myles. Miss N lies' death was sudden, although, we are told she has not been In right good health for a time past. Sometime since she was Injured In a runaway accident, and her declino la health perhaps dnted from that time. De ceased was a daughter of Cnptein Justltl Niles, of Silver Lake, and sister of Messrs. Pierre M. and Rupert P. Nilo. Merchants Win. Puscnliorre and J. B. Westbrook, of Dlngmnn's, have been raft ing aud "running" railroad cross ties to maiket for some days past.

All three of the calves are sprightly little animals,each marked almost alike, of the same color, and all females. Such an occurrence of the kind remembered In this locality was at M. W. Dingmnn'g, years ago. Frederick Mink, who formerly resided at Rldgcwoy's Mill, In Lehman township, but of late years has held a position on the po lice force lu Scranton, was shot by some parties who were engaged in a street dis turbance, two or three weeks ago. The in jured man, we are told, is still alive, but in a critical condition. His son, William, who resides in Lehman, was sent for, and went out to visit his father a few days af ter the affray. Mr. Mink was attempting to quell the disturbance when he was fired upon. The past week has been intensely warm for this tlmo of tho year, and Nature is speedily donning her Spring apparel. The green grass is spriuging up rapidly, the dainty flowers are decking the sward like beautiful gems,the happy birds are trilling their joyous melodies around about us.and we are realizing that poetic and heavenlike period in the cycle of the year which poets sing of, and in which the lover of the good, the true, and the beautiful so much delights.

Peach buds are reported to be at least partly killed in this section. We have had very poor maple syrup weather this spring. J. M. Aid rich Is building a new wood house. Potatoes are plenty and no sale. P. Wide Tlrs. The Press of lust week had a brief article on broad tires that should not escape the attention of any one who pays road tax, or uses the road for any purpose whatever.' The wide tire is a road maker instead of a road destroyer, as is the narrow tire. There is also an economy in liraft, and a freedom from rutting of fields on tlie farm that are mat ters of no mean importance. The State of New Jersey, has a law al lowing Township committees to pass an ordinance giving a rebate from road tax of fifty cente for each wheel on wagons or carts having a tire four inches or more in width. Sandyston has the credit of placing the ordinance upon the town book. and we are pleased to note that it has stimulated the use of wide tires. It is a wise measure and every town ship should adopt it in the interest of good roads. H. Decrssao in the Vtlue of Firm Animals. The Department of Agriculture at Washington ha issued a compre hensive statement of tho number and value of domestio animals on farms in the United states. It shows a heavy and constant depre ciation in both numbers and values of every item except cows and oxen. The total vulue, of tho furm animals on January 1, WJ5, was estimated at 11,819, 44(5,000, as against tl,727,- 926,084 on January 1, lfc'JtS a de crease of 181,520,000. For the ' Pike Count, Preia. " A bridge having boon built bv the County on an unused road, near the residence of Mr. Obndinh Bevana. in Sandyston township, the Sandyston correspondent of the New Jersey tierniti chose to criticise the job as a waste of public money, and the bridgo itself as not properly a coun ty charge. Freeholder Kintner in justiflention of his action in build ing the bridge enters the technical plea thnt there is a different e be tween nn unused rond, and a vaca ted road that gives him a legal right to sell it as a comity bridge. We wish to present a few points re garding this road that are not per haps gencraly known, but should be to have a correct understanding a to whether there hns been either a waste, or a misappropriation of the county funds. The rond upon which the bridge referred to is built was originally a In ne owned and used if I rightly recollect, by the father of the Into Randal Depue as a conveni ent way to get to the distant fields and wood lota owned by him. It grew into ttse by others as a Bhort cut from the mountain to the val ley settlements, and by his consent, but we believe was never formally laid owt as a public road. Seven years ago many Hainesville people who used this road to get to their mountain wood lots complained that it was badly located, hard to keep in fit condition for travel, and extreme ly hilly. Upon proper application to the Court a new road was laid out, principally through lands of Mr. O. Bevans, where a mnch easi er grade was obtained. The town ship paid 1125.00 for the land, and built the road, it haa also appropria ted money annually to work it. Be ing laid out strictly to take the place of the old road the latter has not had a dollar expended upon it by the township for six years, that is, since the new road was made, and since which time the old road haa been looked upon as a private lane aa it originally was. Mr. O. Bevans and Benj. B. Hursh are the only people using it, and they only as a short cut to their farm lands. I am informed that Mr. Hursh con sidered that as he was a joint user of the road, and bridge, he had anticipated sharing with Mr. Bevans in rebuilding the bridge, whenever it should become necessary to have a new bridge, when lo 1 and behold, a new bridge was built, and by the county. The work of a generous freeholder at the expense of a gener ous county. i I learn that a couple of years ago Freeholder Joseph C. Warner was notified to build this same bridge, but thought it not ne cessary, compulsion was threatened, when Mr. Warner consulted the attorney of the board, Mr. Chas. J. Roe, and was advised not to build it. When Mr. E. B. Kintner be came freeholder he also was notified to build it, and did so. Whether any of the conditions had changed since Mr. Roe advised Mr. Warner against building it I do not know but presume it was not done by his advice, as my experience with Chas. J. Roe loads me to bolieve that he would not advocate other than a reasonable, just, and economical use of the county moneys. Wheth er a freeholder may avail himself of technicalities to justify an unneces sary expense to the county, or to ob tain the fees attached thereto, is a matter depending solely upon his own conscience, and the willingness of the people to have their business done that way. It is not to be sup. posed for an instant but what Mr. Kintner is interested in keeping down expenses, as he has estab lished the fact beyond dispute that he pays more than a dollar tax. Tea, verily so, a poll tax, and a dog tax when he has one. leytes Item. The potato grower should not for get that it is not a crop that will car ry over, Tkere will likely be a less acreage planted, then should there be a short crop the pendulum of prices may swing to the other ex treme. The prices of the past year were rather disheartening, but con ditions may be entirely different this year. We shall plant our usual acreage with that view of the situa tion. Last week the Press seemed so ex cellent I could not resist sending one to a lady friend ; judge our surprise when it was received back through the mails with the following laconio inscripton written thereon. " Mr. H. I thank you.I read no such news" and have no use for this paper.and if you have you hud better keep it. It was amusing of course, and I apologize for not knowing that the Pkess politics would not agree with a stomach so delicate that it could digest a live priest, cum grano salis, but could not boar to be reminded of it. Funny world is it not? Pen alty for writing on a newspaper, and not paying letter postage on Siiuie.U severe enough to make most people tired. Two Bethlehem men fought over a penny paper and each was fined t&. Minima for the Newspaper Maker. From Wins. A. Ilium's address at Cornell colV.'ge.l And now let mo finish with two or three maxima which seem tome of value to a newspaper maker : I Never lie n hurry. II Hold fast to the Constitution. HI Hlniid by the Jstars find Stripes. Above nil, stMiul for Lib erty, whatever hiiivns. IV A word that is not spoke' never does nny mischief. All the goodness of n good e.r cannot make up for the biu'ness oi a bud one. VI If yon find you lmve been wrong don't fenr to say so. There is n trad il ion in some news-1ixm-s of the old school that, von must pretend to n silly infallibility and never admit you have been wrong. That is n siily rule. If a man lias not the moral courage to say " Yes, I was wrong, and I don't now believe what 1 said at some former time ;" if he has not courage to say that, he had letter retire from business and never try to make an other newspaper. A Good Bargain. At a temperance meeting where several related their experiences, a humorous Iiishmon who spoke was acknowledged to be the chief speak er. He had on a pair of fine new boots said he : " A week after I signed the pledge I met an old friond aud he snys, 'Thein's a fine pair of boots you have on. ' ' They are, ' says I, and by the same token 'twas the saloon keeper who gave them to me. ' ' That was generous of him, ' says "It was, ' says I, but I made a bargain with him. He was to keep his drink and I was to keep my mo. ney. My money bought me those fine boots. I got the best of the bar gain, and I'm going to stick to it.
