Layton, Aug. 12. S. K. Hursh while arranging his hay fork on Wednesday last lost his balance, and fell from the peak of the barn to the barn floor a distance of about 28 feet. Both bones of the right arm were broken near the wrist.and he received quite a severe shaking up generally. Dr. Miller set the bones, and the patient is do ing well. The Sandyston Free Silver Club is to meet at J. E. Everitt's In Hulucsvillo the evening of Aug. 15. Speeches by promin ent free silver advocates. The club's roll is rapidly increasing. It is the first town ship club formed in the State. We hope to Bee some of our Milford friends present. Somebody please muzzle ye editor of the Press while we hold our meeting. He might do us up in the sume funny way he did the Milford Bryan and Scwall Club you know. The expressed hope of the worthy minis ter at Layton, that with prayerful effort the breach in this church might be healed seemed to be premonitory of that much wished for result. Recently however the dispensers of vocal and instrumental har mony have become involved in a controver sy regarding a set of ivories. This condi tion of things should not exist. The ivo ries are certainly a set of beauties, and the music as well as the appearance of the choir is thereby correspondingly improved What more could be desired is more than I can discern. Everybody should now be satisfied, the organist and Honest Johnf included. Prof. Wni. M. Van Sickle and son are enjoying themselves among their friends Mr. Van Sickle goes back to West New York in charge of a school, at a salary of $1,200 a year. Honest JohuV at BcvauH is evidently get ting bilious, or else is reading my corres pondence through green glasses. If it is the former I beg to prescribe the following excellent remedy. Fluid extracts of Dan delion, Bluelliig, and Rhubarb, each one ounce. Leptandra, and simple syrup each two ounces, mix. Dose fifteen drops every six hours, or until he can read an article without seeing lots of things that are nut in it. Biliousness is liable to run into many com plications, and may even iuducc a man to shoot a neighbor's dog. Honest 1896 John? may avoid repenting such a deed by using the above prescription faithfully. It will not cost near as much as the dog. Mrs. Fanny Knight and son are visiting relatives in the neighborhood. Bert Knight her husband is employed on one of the Newark trolley lines. Yes, the Pi KB County Press can use that mud tho New York World has left over. It will be lent to the Gazette's cor respondent at Layton to bo used for bath ing purposes, and guaranteed to leave his skin as near pearly and white as his repu tatlon is yea, very verily so. The Flatbrook Valley Club who wore in- tcrestHl in the development of Brookslde Park as a pleasure resort, and who devoted much work and money to that purpose. have given it up. It has been a losing ven ture, though conducted on liberal lines. Their whole equipment will be sold at auo- tlon at 2 o'clock p. m. Aug., 15 at I jay ton. The big tent, torches, table ware, wire net ting, platform, lumbor etc., will be included in the sale, which is positive. The congregation of the Peters Valley Reformed church met Monday evening to consider to what extent they should re model their church, to bring it into line with modern ideas. It is to be hoped they will remove the hard, straight back seats that crucify tho flesh, and substitute chnirs Instead, that will be comfortable. The Gazette's Layton ltemizer Inclines very strongly to word pictures. That he is so skillful an artist in that line goes far toward proving that he draws much from personal experience. In his description of how a person would write who cared nei ther for good, nor evil, himself or any one else, ho has adroitly taken a leaf from his own past history that will be of Infinite use to his future biographer.

He is one of the first teachers in the State, and a fine mathematician. The Sullivan Dramatic Troupe from Philadelphia gave a very entertaining ser ies of performances at Layton during the last week. Much bettor than usually stop at so small a town. The big tent of the Flatbrook Valley Club was used by them, and answered the purpose admirably. It will seat about 500 persons,or oover double the number standing. The annual picnic of the farmers, me , - chanics and tradesmon,at Normanock Lake will be held Aug. 22. The sale of prlve legestook place last Saturday and agre gatod 1153.00. John Snider of Layton gets the soft drinks at fTO.OO. M. Devore of Newton the ice cream at (16.00. Others in proportion. Estimates based on last years attendance run from S to 6,000 people The attendance increases yearly. Wholesale arrests for violation of the fish laws are tuking place In this county. No duubt many who are so arrested are not only frequent and flagrant violators, but Infringe the laws with a full knowl edge of its provisions. Some of the arrests are based upon technical violations, and will be contested. It Is said the law gives the Warden $lu) per mouth, with exeuse while on duty. Also clothes him with ar- ditrary powers of arrest and share of the fines imposed. 1 hardly think the last can be possible, for it would be an incentive to use questionable methods, and witnesses to establish guilt, the proof of which inures to his peisonal benefit. Id, such a case what guarantee is there that this power would be wisely used. MONTAGUE. (Spoclid CorresiKjndeuce to the PKKS8.). MontaouK, Aug. Oh! how vjarni 90 in the sntule.

The company then proceeded to the dining room, where refreshments were served. The bride was dressed in pure white India linen, trimmed with lace nnd ribbon, tho groom in the con ventional block. Excepting the Immedi ate fonilly were there, but few of their most intimate friends invited. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and useful presents.

Huuck spent last Friday In Scranton. The poung American Ball Club of Laa- nna nnd South Stirling added another vic tory to their extended list of games, beat ing the Moscow club on their own grounds last Saturday afternoon, Aug. 8th.

Prayer meetings lead by different mem bers of the congregation, are held every other Sunday evening, alternating with our regular preaching service. A severe electrio storm struck this place about nine o'clock Sunday evening, during which a barn owned by Mr. Whlttaker, was struck by lightning, burning It to the ground. We understand the barn was filled with hay and will be a heavy loss to him. The Y. P. S. C. E. of Loanna, held an ice cream social on the picnic grounds of Mr. William Blitz Inst Saturday evening.

During the extra sessslon In August, three yenrs ago, one of the Congressmen was walking down Pennsylvania avenue, In the course of his walk he met the devil, they greeted each other very cordially and had a most congenial conversation. The Congressman noted tho brightness of the devil's eye, his tall was also finely kinked and he was spruced up so that he looked quite dandyfied. Several days after, they met again in about tho nine place, this time Mr. Devil's eye was sunken, his tall looked long and slinky, and his whole as pect was forlorn. Said the Congressman: "My friend, what Is the matter, you look all worn out ? Has this been a sample of your weather." The devil replied: "Yes" "Well Mien. I'm going back home where It's more comfortable. Good bye for a time." Howard Smith, of Middletown, formerly of Matamoras, is making his old friends a vl.-it.. 1 le is stopping with Ralph French.

I was aiiiusod at tho way ono of the conductors with whom I talked referred to his suhiry. I naked bim whnt his position wns worth. "Well." he wiid, '-that's a pretty hard question to answer. When the month is up the paymnster hands me out 130 Mexican dollars, and it depends upon what the market price of these dollars happens to be on that particular day as to what amount i have earnod during the month. Sometimes the dollars are worth 65 rents eaeh, somotimes B2 cents each, sometimos more or loss, but the truth of it is I never know what I hnve en mod until I investi gate and learn the market quotations on Mexican dollars." "Well," I said, "how do your ex penses in Mexico compare with ex penses that you would have in the United States?" "My expenses in Mexico are great er, ' ' he said. ' 'For a while I wa on the upper end of the road and board ed at Ban Antonio, Tex. There I paid 18 per month board. Now I am boarding in Torreon and pay $40 per month board in Mexican money. But what goes hardest with me is that I have to pay so much for wear ing apparel. If I could wear what is mode here in Mexico I could get it very cheaply, but I have to buy American Blurts, American shoes and hats, and, indeed, practically everything I wear comes from the United States. They don't manu facture articles of a character here in Mexico suitable for our use, so when I buy a pair of shoes I have to pay double value and the duty added That makes this pair of shoes that I am wearing worth 7.50 in Mexican money, and I could buy tho same shoes' iu Texas for ii.bO or 3.
