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.

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

There are 80 day, ot winter yet to

"Yes. I hardly dare to mention

evidence to that effect evidenoe
which is conclusive. I was reading
the Bible just this morning and I
came across a passage which puts
