Y. f .r '1 Hi!!, Miss Ret ta tyopry, who has been vinitinR in Lackawanna county, P., since Inst fall, has decided to make that place her permanent home. The public school at Layton closed on Friday last, as tho torui Mr. Ilosonkrans itm engaged for expired on that date. Mr. Itosenkrans goes to a medical school at Philadelphia next month. County Superintend ent Decker will supply a teacuer for the Layton school iioon. Rouiaine Bcnsley will remove from the ' Com" farm a Bevans to (ho Fred mora farm in Montague. Frank Cos will occupy the farm vacated by Mr. Bensley on April IbL I am informed that Mark Layton has resigned his position nt Paler son, N. J., and is at his farther in law's in Montague. The Stormy weather of Thursday evening? opset the plans for the dance at Abrnm Rutan's, but on other date has been set for one nigbt this week Bnd the boys will have a chance to trip the light fantastic, etc, W. C. Hnrsh is the proud possess or of a permit to legally take suckers and carp from the Flatbrook in this townBhip. 1 believe this is the first permit granted in this valloy. Only a 4 inch mesh net can be aged, or in other words 2 inches from knot to knot. Some bucolio member of the New Jersey legislation has introduced a bill permitting the killing of robins and oat birds. After years of legis lation to protect our insect and song birds soma chap wants to undo what has been done. It is strange that of the first five bills introduced', three related to game and game fish. The rain of last week was not enough to take the ice out of our streams, but, if it should turn warm with rain, great damage will be done. Town meeting is not so far away, but that the legal voters can think up candidates for the various offices to be filled, who are taxpayers. I hear this subjuct often referred to, and those with whom I have talked favor taxpayers for offloe, I understand that some Pennsyl vania folks nave been hauled up and fined for fishing through the ice with too many tip-ups. Too bad, for we have that fool law too. The appraised value of the real and personal property of A. 8 Stoll, deceased, is nearly 12,000 dollars. The executors will hold a vendue on February 17 to dispose of the per sonal property. Will Bevan, tenant on the farm of Evan Bevan, has decided to quit farming and will remove to the city this spring. I presume that means life on the trolley.

V, DLNOMAS'S'ERRY. Bandyston reports that Isaac Angle of Warren oounty was fined $20 and tlO .costs for taking six rabbits in traps set for skunks. This seems a poor, showing for Jersey where they have a reputation for doing things about right. Rab bits are injurious to farmers. They do not perform a single beneficial act. They eat clover and girdle trees. Boys should be allowed to trap them. There is no greater fun for boys than to set the old fashion ed box traps and in the morning bring home one or more of the ootton tails. This too gives the boys better employment for their spare time than to congregate and plan mischief. We do know that skunks ave some redeeming qualities. They occasionally oatoli. chickens but they destroy field mice and probably eat young rabbits. At the democratic 'ortucus here It looks as though the citizen element predominated. Abraham Bradley nd Thomas M. Brink were nomi nated for school directors and both are sure of election. Tney are active men and punctilious on the score of duty and will make good officials. Charles Martin was nominated for upervisor and probably will be elected. If so we may expeot im provement In some near by roads. The supervisors should widen some of the highways and out down more of the hills. One especially near Prisoilla Lay ton's. That road will likely be much traveled in the future. Walter Bradley, Jr., is laid up with an injured leg. People at Centre complain that the money spent for school in that district this winter, is practically wasted. Who is to blame? Snow in tne woods 'is too deep Jor lumbering. Wallace Bensiey of Lehman while preparing a compound of lard and gunpowder last week was badly burned and his eyes injured by an explosion of the powder. Calvin Cron has been nominated on the republican ticket for school director. If elected he will not be a figure head. He has push and the qnalities requisite for an excellent official. Trying to run a farui without the aid of some good agricultural paper is like usin& a wagon without greas ing the axles. They will squeak, and so will the farm unless the work is lubricated with brains. Around the stove in the corner store the question of what will be left for Pike county after the older generation of farmers has passed away has been discussed. , Farms have gradually grown poorer, and they will be divided possibly among several heirs so that it will be bard for them to live let' alone making any money. Combine these with the lack of a professional knowledge of agriculture among the younger generation and it would seem that soon our hills and Valleys will be owned and populated by other peo pie, and the natives will remove. The French, Dutch and Scotcti are becoming aaore numerous in our; oounty and they mav supplant the natives. As soon as surveyors can travel to run lines we may rxpeot quite a crop of law suits. Those veterans of the1 ax who do not look for lines can hardly abandon their habit. A couple of days of warmer weather'appear to have put a num ber of our citiscens On the sick list. There are 80 day, ot winter yet to come acoordiug to the almanac, and those whd were able to go sooth were lucky. ' ' 1 Henry Bowen of Bushkill, it is said, will occupy the house of C. W.

Everett Mead's dancing class has closed for the season. Mrs. Frank Corwin has been ill for the past two weeks. She is reported some better. Mrs. Watts Clawson, who has been ill at her home on Main street, is improving. The ice in the river went out on Hundty. There was a gorge a short time down by Mr. Bell's farm. During that time foot passengers crossing the railroad bridge on the New York side bad to cross to the bridge In a boat. At 7 o'clock the ioe went out and there was no necessity of nsing a boat to get on the bridge. The funeral of Charles Well occurred Sunday afternoon at 2.30 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Westfall. It was private, only the relatives aud most intimate friends assetnbled to pay their last respects to the late Mr. Wells. Rev. W. A. Chadwick, pastor of the Methodist church, Port Jervis, and Rev. O. J. Shoop, pastor of Epworth church, both made very appropriate remarks and prayers at the funeral Beautiful flowers were placed on the casket by surviving relatives and friends. Mr, Wells will be sadly missed in the home of his daughter. He was a kind and affectionate father. The following pall-bearers officiat ed : Charles Reuling, Mr, Maine, Horace Hammond, A. W.
