Latton, June 8. A sort of blight Is af fecting; many young apple trees In this sec tion, patches of leaves die suddenly as if stung by some insect. Sometimes it is the tips of the branches and again a cluster of leaves along a large limb. The wood dies where affected and the little apples turn brown and decay at once. It is very rapid In its action, and if it continues to spread may become a serious drawback to apple culture. . E. C. Maine Supt., of the Sussex coun ty Alms House was caught by your cor respondent last Saturday with his sleeves rolled up and his hands to the plow, no; cultivator. He was personaly tending a tine field of beets, grown for stock feeding He assured me that they lnduoed a great flow of milk, and were especlaly valuable as a winter feed. The product from an acre Is Immense. My attention was called to a small piece of ground which produced 600 bushels of beets last year. There might have been an acre but it did not look it. He has Increased the planting this year. Mr. Millies is a practical and progressive farmer, and a hustler all the time. Evi dently the right man In the right place. For the last four years the banks have held a close grip on gold. Now the coun try banks are paying out some to their customers. Yes, gold will be very, very plenty now until election, and then if the silver tidal wave is split up, it will soon find its way back to their vaults again. Twenty years of great innings for the banks and money handlers, w hat they have gained some one has lost. The banks a thousand millions richer, the agricultur ist a thousand millions poorer, key?

Not very complimentary to the audience to attribute such ideas to them His blooming season will not be out until he takes the gold cure. The fhneral of Mrs. Anna vail Abers wife of Joshua Abers, took place from the Hainesville church on Sunday last. The deceased was 88 years of age and leaves four children, the eldest being 8 years old. Interment in Hainesville cemetery. An invitation to dine with the family of Geo. W. Van Sickle at Bevans on Sunday last, June 7 was specially tempting owing to the intimation that peas of his own growing were to be part of the course. We were a little suprlsod as we aim to be some where among the earliest to have green peas ourselves, but George Is in the lead this time. The vines were loaded and he could have easily picked a couple of milk pans full. We will give him a brush next spring, and try and regain our lost laurels. Paradise A lley leads to Paradise does It not? Perhaps It is better to live along the alley than in the place It leads to, for ac cording to mythology the devil was in Paradise once, and we fear that though Jupiter cast him out then, that he Is back there again now. The festive broiler is now ripe and in sea son. Heoroweth with great glee in the early morn. His head is lopped off ere it is noon. The cook splits him, pours le mon and wine over his beautiful form.and the summer boarder gently lays him away to slow music and wine, before the night fall. GREELEY. (Special Correspondence to the Press.) Greeley, June 9 We are having lovely weather now with just rain enough to keep gardens growing nice. Thomas Crossly and Dr. Llgg from Honesdale made their monthly trip here Monday, staying all night with W. V, Burcher as thoy usually do at this place. Judgo Rosencrance spent Saturday and Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. I, B. Rosencrance. He also called around to see other friends as we were all glad to see Judge In our midst. Come again Judgo. Charlie Burcher and Jake Knadler went to Wayne county Monday to repair some of the buildings on W. V. Burcher's place George Hartwell went with them to take their tools and an extra horse to have on the place for farming purposes. Miss Colm, of Hawley, spent Sunday with Mrs. W. V.

Rowlands and William Smith passed through this place early Saturday morning on their way to Port Jervis with the horse Mr. Rowland bought at that place some time ago as the horse did not prove to be what Mr. Rowland expected he went and exchanged for another one. We hope this one will turn ont better. We hear that George Belrllng got the grand bounce by Adam Uhl last week Rumors say that George is looking for a a clerkship in the grocery store of Charles Chidester at Glen Eyre.

Dinomaks, Pa., June 8 Nice showers, and welcome ones, visited us yesterday, It is a certain thing that the yield of hay in this locality will be very light, owing, duubtluss to the two or three successive and protracted droughts of last fear and this. It was a pleasing and encouraging spec tacle at the late Sunday School conven tion, to see tha large congregation, and witness the almost uninterrupted attention paid to the proceedings. It speaks well, and is well. In our opinion nothing can more enchanoe the moral religious and so cial standard of children than good Sab bath schools throughout the laud. Such institutions-cannot be too highly encour aged and assisted, and It should be borne In mind that the harvest from this source will be golden. But the matter must be tuken hold of in earnest, and the Interest not permitted to fiug. Remember "early impressions are lasting," and faithful work done in the Sunday school is sure to have a great effect somewhere, and truly some children are thus led to grow up into good men and women, because the teachings of their early days will Influence their whole life In many cases, and cause them to lend a life of rectltudo, happiness, and of use- fulnossness. Last Saturday forenoon Mrs. Mary A. Youngs' house, located on Dlngmnn's Crock, near Cole's school house, caught Are from the chimney and burned down, together with the greater part of the con tents. It Is said Mrs. Young had risen early, prepared breakfast for her son, who was going away to work, and had then lain down again and fell into a sleep. Later, the family of John C. Tltman saw the roof was burning fiercely, and rushed down to Mrs. Youngs' assistance. They her found down stairs asleep, and roused her only a few seconds before the roof fell In. Very few things were saved. We under stand the building was insured for a hun dred dollars, or thereabout, but this will not nearly cover the loss. The deepest sympathies are with Mrs. Young, who is old, feeble, and is now inconsolable. Her children, however, will do the best they can to lighten her troubles. John C. Smith has lately had his resid ence enlarged, and refixed and Is now sit uated comfortably and convenient in evoryway. (J. Y. Crone and son did the work. James B.

In tracing old surveys, dating back a century or more, one will notioe numer ous offsets in th lines in order to circum scribe as many swamps as possible, in al most every instance. This was done pur posely, we have been frequently told, as the belief was current in those days that hemp could be easily and profitably grown upon ground of that character, and pur chasers wore eager to secure as much ter ritory of that description as possible Later, It was found the marshes, fens and swamps of this locality wore not at all adapted to the purpose, and thus It transpires a great majority of the original surveys enclose one or more of these untillable and useless areas.

Many of thd golf enthusiasts of this country put the old town of St Andrews, Scotland, in their Europ ean itinerary for a look at its links For over 400 years this Scottish place has been famous as the home of golf, and the links are well worth a visit by any lover of the game They are laid out beyond the town on the bay of St. Andrews, with the Grampian hills in the background, The links have 19 holes, most of them named, as the hole of the Cross, the Ginger Beer hole, the High hole and the Short hole. One of the bunkers is suggestively called Hell, and beautiful piece of level turf is natu rally the Elysian fields. The long est distance between the holes is 60 yards, and the entire round nearly five miles. Buffalo Express. About Children Biding Bicycles. The best physicians are agreed that it is an exceedingly injurious thing to carry small children, parti cularly those under 5 years of age, on bicycle,. The Jarring affects the stomach and back and brain of the children who are unfortunate enough to have bicycle cranks for parents and is injurious in other ways. The proposals to legislate against the practice seem impracticable, and the only solution of the evil seems to be the creation of a healthy sentiment in opposition to the custom. Per haps, also in extreme cases the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children may be able under the existing laws to deal with the erring parents, who, however, are not like ly to insist upon their rights to in jure their children if the facts are made clear to them.

Pub lished hy the Century Company, New York. This interesting little volumn wns compiled from sylviculture! note made by Mr. Gra ves principally in the lumbering regions of central Pennsylvania, with some fow mea surements from Now York, the gon- erul plan of work and forming of conclusions being done by Mr. Pin- chot. It contains chapters on the growth situation and occurrence, the trees found growing with the pine, its na tural enemies, fire and wind, togeth er with yield tables of volume, etc illustrated by curves for average height and diameter, volume and yield of merchantable timber, clos- ing with a table of diameters and areas of circles. These tables and curves were made from a large num ber of trees which were cut in lura bering operations. This shows that on land of the first quality the larg est mean annual increment per year in merchantable timber, per scale board feet, was in a white pine tree from 130 to 140 years old, the age necessary to secure the best re sults increasing as the ground be comes poorer : in third quality soil being found at an age of about 210 years. This illustrates the folly of cutting young white pine timber, as is often done, at a time when it is really only commencing to give the best returns, and should be of value to those persons who are Interested in the growing or cutting of white pine.

Another story is that of a freshman who was made to exercise considerably, put through track athletic training and then rubbed down with sand. Bigotry. Bigotry has no head and cannot think no heart and cannot feel When she moves, it is in wrath when she pauses, it is amid ruin, Her prayers are curses ; her God is a demon : her communion is death hor vengeance is eternity ; her de calogue written in the blood of her victims, and if she stops a moment in her infernal flight it is upon kindred rock, to whet her vulture fan; for a more sangeinary desola tion.

The Watch man says : We do not know nor care to know the cause of the differences that have existed in his church here, and which have led to his separa tion from our community, but we know that he will carry with him to his new abode the esteem of hun dred of friends in other denomina tions, as well as his own.
