If the bridge is gone it will have to be rebuilt by the oounty for the act of 1771 making the Lackawaxen a publio highway as far up as the falls (at Klmbles) was repealed by the act of 1885. The fondness of the legislature and Pike's legislators for tampering with 'water will relieve the state from building any bridges for our people The flood may emphasize the im portanoe of reforesting our barren bills. Its effeots are certainly a striking and costly object lesson Does It pay to allow careless or wanton persons to fire the woods every season and so keep the ground absolutely denuded. Individuals and taxpayers in this and other counties should heed the admonition and insist on a rigid enforcement of the fire laws. Henry Da wit t has tendered his resignation as assessor of Lacka 'waxen. The first womau olergyman ever formally ordained to preach in this country was Mrs, A. L. Brown. Wayne oounty suffered severely by the flood. Fourteen bridges are gone and the loss is estimated at $50,000. Both Honesdale and Haw- ley were partly inundated causing great individual looses. The prohibition party has nomi Bated for coroner E. S. Wolfe and for jury commissioner J. F. Hunt ington. At the meeting to take in con sideration the forming of a choral socioty, a committee was appointed to take the matter in charge and report at a subsequent meeting. The fee will be $2 for twenty lessons. W. T. Btruble found a number of human bones, uncovered by the water, juat in the rear of the Walters house. Evidently some one as buried there long ago. With the boues be also found a Bmall, j)lain, silver button. The Diugman township super visors, with commeiniuble prompt ness, liRve began making repairs to the ritiJ loading to the Delaware bridge.

Quito a number of friends are urgent in their wish to have a clas. organized for the study of the Sunday School lessons in preparation for the Sabbath. As more time Is needed for the class studying the complete Bible under the pastor's direction we will change the time of meeting of that class to Monday's, 7.30 p. m., at the parsonage. The Sunday School lessons will be studied aftor prayer meeting. Meeting of the Prohibition Alliance at the parsonage next Tuesday even ing. Everyone wolcome. This cut is a portrait of the pas tor's father who died a t Mount Vernon, N Y., Sept. . 28th, aged 62 years 11 e was born and reared on a farm at Smyrna, N. Y., attended the tmi versity at Ann Arbor, Mich., where, after passing through two years of aotive service in the Civil War, he graduated with highest honors and as valedictorian of his class. His chosen profession was that of teacher in several prominent institutions of the country, the last two being the Case School of Applied Soience in Cleveland, Ohio, and the Stevens Preparatory School of Stevens Insti. tute, Hoboken, N J. His forte was higher mathematics, in which, as teacher, he excelled. He was also very fond of Geology and astronomy. His pupils always bad a personal attachment for him as he had for tbem. As a Christian his character was blameless and the profound interest be evidenced in all misssiou ary enterprises and rescue work showed clearly the practical nature of bis religion. Many words of kindest sympathy have been received from those who, with the family, mourn, the loss of him who lived with the other world constantly in view and has gone borne to his eternal reward. As showing the growing interest in the subject of forestry in the United States, it is stated that there are now three national forestry associations, with state organizations in eighteen states and one territory There are a lot of things to think about in this world lots of things besides one's own troublos.

The snrmon next Sabbath morning will consider What Chris- tuns believe concerning God as to Ilis existence, attributes and special relation to man. We hope to make this topio interesting and instructive and as it is a fundamental element of our faith should be prayerfully considered by all who aro interested in this Course of sermons. Last evening the Christian cn- deaverors spent a very pleasant evoning at the home of Mrs. Frank Thrall. Singing and the considera tion of the interests of the socioty were the principal features of the evening. Last Tuesday evening tho pastor was most pleasantly reminded of his birthday by the party given by Mrs. Perot. It was an enjoyable evening in every way and we are even glad to add another figure to represent the years already lived. The first social evening of the year given under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society will occur one wees, from tonight, Friday. As these meetings are to be less frequent during the winter it is desirable they should be well attended. Today it is the pastor's sad duty to officiate at the funeral of Mrs, Hannah J. Dingnmn of Dingman's Ferry. These occasions are unmis takable warnings to us of the certainty of death and a world to oome, but how few hold that warn ing or live as if eternity depended upon it. Mr. Philip Walters, whose family have received the sympathy and assistance of the community, wishes the pastor to express hii most grate ful appreciation. We are sure it has been a pleasure to have done what we have for this worthy family. DINGMAN'S FEKRY. If the rain last week . was the belated equinoctial storm, it came fully up to the kinds of weather farmers have had to endure the past season. The frost killed about every thing and now the water has carried away what little was left to be gathered. The river farmers have, almost without exception, lost their entire corn crop. Mrs. Owen Brown of Chatham, N. J., has been veiling Mrs. Downs at Centre. Mrs. Thos. McMurray recently spent a few days with Mrs. David Jagger. The buckwheat remaining in the fields during the last rain is spoiled. Considerable corn, with the hope that it might ripen, is not yet cut. The railroad tie season has not opened yet because of belated crops. George W. Donaldson and wife, who have been on a tour for the past year which carried then! half around the world, have returned to Ard tornish. If Shohola township is so successful as a summer resort it will soon be the banner township in the county for raising a money crop. The people up there must-have learned the secret ol catering properly to the wants of city guests. ' . The people of this town would very much like to have a bell on the schoolhouse with a musical tone and that could be heard all over the village. It would be music during the dull winter days. The rabbit law says they may be caught in any manner except with ferrets, and farmers will have a fair chance to get some very good meat and lessen the number of those pests. Most of the corn crop on the farm of G. S. Garretson was taken ofl by high water and the rye sown was washed out. A number of men who went down to attempt to move Albright's ties near the bridge were caught and imprisoned with the Kilsby family. The water covered the entire flat land and drove the people in the old stone house, which has withstood several floods, to the second story. There is a washout at this end of the bridge which prevents crossing. The water is said to have been five feet higher than any previous record. W. II. Ilornbeck at Decker's brook had to move out of his house fearing it would be washed away. He Learned tht Truth It is said of John Wesley that he onoe said to Mistress Wesley: "Why do you tell that clald the same thiug over and over again?" '-John Wes ley, because once telling is not euougb." It is for this rt-uson that you are told nnin and mraia that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy cures colds snd grip; that it counturauts any tendency of thee dim-as to re sult in pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and Rote to take.

Mr. Folk is a democrat, with strong possibility of election as governor of bis state as a reward for his success ful prosecution of the worst gang of political scalawags and boodlers Missouri and the oity of St Louis have ever known. Mr. Folk has experienced some difficulty by reason of the escape of some of his viotims.

They come from people in every walk in life and from every state in the Union. The following from Mr. T. W. Greathouse, of Prattaburg, Ga., sjieaks for itself: "I would have been dead now but for the use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
