(Special Correspondence to the Phess.) Layton, IVc. 14. The steam saw m HI that has boon working up the lmnlier from the nuinorous 1 wood lots bought by An drew Yettcr, In this vicinity has finished up Its work, and moved to Flatbrookville. In Its stead wo hear tho whistle of A. H. Hopkins mill that is now turning the tim ber on his recently purchased tracts Into merchantable form. We note tho statement In the papers that McCracken, the pug dog fanner, Is breeding a variegated style of pugs that he thinks will give him a cinch of the market for a fancy article. Later advices lead to tho belief that tho specimen on ex hibition Is only hand painted, and there fore a fraud. It Is refreshing to find a man once in while who puts his public spirited Ideas in practice. One who acts, while some other . body does the talking. In a few days John J. Van Sickle will have Mr. John Youngs with his rock crushing plant, crushing stone to put on the road from the Flatbrook Club House to the main road. After which he will also put crushed stone on a section of the public, road, at his own expense as an object lesson. People should turn out and see how easy, and practical it is to build stone roads. Let us hope that this is the beginning of a reign of common sense in the treatment of oui roads, and that the material, of which we have such an abundance will be put to its proper use in building good roads, and roads that will be good at all times of the year. , Quarterly report of tho Public school at Layton.

One pupil, Bertie Kintnor has not been absent or tardy dur ing the term. The teacher and those In te rested regret very much that sickness has interfered with the averago attendance and progress of the school. Corr. The patrons are much pleased with the pro gress of the school to date. Common membraneous sore throat con tinues prevalent throughout a wide scope of the country. Tho complaint has ap parently passed its worst stage in this vicinity. A few cases not promptly treated verged quite closely upon Diph theria. The majority of oases however are very amenable to proper treatment, and tukun in the early stages is not consi dered at all dangerous. The dance at the Hainesville Houso was a failure through some misunderstanding. The music and tho table wero both f urn ished in the "Judges" usual generous manner, and those who did not get there oan hardly realize how much they missed The band performed some fine selections which the private detective declared to be A, No. 1, and no mistake. I see by the papers that the grooms in a couple of the recent weddings in this town, had never been on the cars. I don'i see as this fact has any great significance as lots of people don't travel on the ears unless they have occasion to do so. The gentlemen referred to are moral, industri ous, and energetic enough, and may be trusted to attend strictly to business whether they take the cars or not. The Tuttle's Corner school was ordered on a two weeksvacation.bya local Trustee for an alleged case of diphtheria. The at tending physician did not report the case to the Board of Hoakh within 13 hours, as the law directs, and has not yet done so. The law imposes a penalty of fifty dollars for uexluct or refusal to do so. W as It diphtherial1 , . Mr. Uideon Rutau died at his home hut Saturday night, at Hainesville. Aged about 7U years. He was long the sextou of the Hainesville church, aud was very re gular and attentive to his duties. Mr. Rutan has led a very industrious life, aud his pleasant and obliging manner has made him a favorite with all. A wife, son Joseph and daughter Llzr.lo survive him, and have the warm sympathies of tho com munity in their bereavement. The Sussex County Tent hers' Institute Is held at Newton Deo. 81 to 89 Inclusslve. To relievo the monotony of winter teach ing, and to bracetip the teachers with new Ideas and suggestions these institutes are a prime gxxl thing. It tends to brush oil tho moss. 1 lieg pardon, but a teacher at my elbow remarks that "teachers as a class do not have much moss to brush off." Mrs. Alice Heater aud husband visited her sister, Mrs. Mary Simpson and Mrs. Lizzie Wlntorinute at Layton last week. John V. Major has sold a valuable tlm 1st tract to A. H. Hopkins, the Braiieh vllle "Lumber King." A brain Rutan and lister Sylcox have the Job of getting out tho ties. They are both experts at the business, and commence work to-day. 'Sand Burr" says of tho death of the little grand daughter of Mrs. Compton, That she was allowed to go out contrary to the doctors directions, and died." Why not say that the chllds illness began in an attack of oroup, and developed Into com mon membraneous sore throat. That It rcclcved treatment for Diphtheria in heroic measure, and died. The truth is best, if not quite so pleasant alwavs. The Hainesville school room will have the finest black hoard in tho valley. It Is slate and of ample size. The Trustees are to bo complimented upon being up to date in furnishing their room with tho best there Is. Their use tends to self confidence of the pupils In their own work, ami sim plifies tho laliors of the teacher, it saves time for the teacher, which can bo devoted to other necessary detail of class Work. Miss Blanche Youngs the efficient and devoted Siiiicrlntondcnt of the Sunday school at Layton has resigned tho position. Miss Youngs was an exceedingly amiable, and attentive ollleer, and tho good Influ ences of her presence will be sadly missed. Mrs. Mary Simpson has been chosen to fill the vacancy. The Herald soiibo will please excuse my asking an explanation at this late hour, but when ho speaks of tho marriage of Mr. Joseph Jaggers to Miss Ethel Wintcrmute as a step daughter of Francis Layton,! am puzzled to see how he figures out the rela tionship of step-daughter. First FranclB Layton married her grandmother, sho war. then step-graiid-daiightcr to Francis Lay- ton, yes, then Francis married her mother. This is where tho puzzle begins for me. Wasn't Miss Ethel now stcp-grand-daugh- tor, nnd step-daughter too? But if the laws of God and man both declare this second Tnarrlago Illegal, then whore arc you going to reckon relationship from How Is Joseph to know his step-fathor or stcp-grand-fathcr from his father or step- father-in-law. Did you ever see such a puzzlef I give it up, it makes my head ache. Mr. A. II. Hopkins has bought throe wood lots on the ridge west of Layton The ties from them are being hauled by narrow tired wagons over the the road by this place to Branchville. You can per- haps Imagine what the result will be to the roads, and what it might be if they were all wide tires. The latter would save horse flesh, harness and power while the roads would need much less repairs. Surely the rut these narrow tiros will make Is not half so deep as the ones our people are allowing them selves to be run Into on the road questions. There will be one of those uncqualed entortaininents In the Chapel at Bovansou Christmas Eve There will be recitations and dialogues, and the usual musical treat by the Chapel choir followed by some of the good things for the Inner man for which theso people are noted. Tho Flatbrook Club has hatched and raised about 80,000 young trout the past season. Our Townsman, John J. Van Sickle who is a member of the club has been placing tho young trout In the small spring brooks during tho last few days. The club has boon very successful in rais ing them some specimens being six Inches long and are only about a year old. Peter Majors aud wife have been enjoy ing themselves several days taking In the sights and pleasures of Greater New York. Doctor J. N. Miller and wife flew city, ward for a few days last week. We sur mise that Mrs. Miller saw the beauties of the show windows in the big busluess places, and the Doctor combined business with pleasure as a busy Doctor should. MONTAGUE. (Special Correspondence to the Pkess.) Montaquk, Deo. 14. Who can complain of tho weatherf O yes brother, we have them, Sain Smith killed two pigs last week which weighed 804 pounds.

Dayton and Everrltt attended church last eveniug the first time in a number of years. Better late then not at all. Will that Sandyston correspondent of yours please awake and start his pencil, if he don't there will not be any use of hang- lng up his stocking on the night of the i. It is with sincere regret that I heard of the death of Gideon Rutan of Hainesville. He was a bard working and honest citizen always having a smile and a pleasant word for every one. Already you hear of coming changes among the tenant farmers, but as its rather early I will not mention any at present although I know of several. Everrltt Crone and Dayton Depue are near neighbors and both enjoy nothing better than to swap horses. If any Pike County man wants to swap just call on the above aud he will be accomodated. Dick.
