The Old and the New House.

Farmer B having built new
house on the opposite side of the
road from the old homestead, it
seemed to me as | CHANGED to pass
one day. that | heard the following
conversation between the two houses
as they looked across the road at one
another.
The new house said spitefully, 81

rickety unsightly thing as you are.
What in the world can he want of

such pleasant accommodation here?

he could forget that he had ever lived
in such a mean looking habitation s,s
you are. Yourself and your surround
ings are a disgrace to such a tidy
farmer as my master. Briers and
brambles, untrimmed hedgerows,
gnarled and mossgrown trees, rickety
old fences; what a contrast to the
trim neatness of my surroundings"
To this TRADE the old house replied,
II know that the storms and tenn
pests of many years have racked my
frame and rendered me almost use
less, but that | am an unsightly OBJ

that he loves me still; far better
than he ever will you, with all your
boasted elegance and neat enclosure.

feeble footsteps echo through my
empty chambers. Why is it? ! will

ED. JOURNAL: We hear and read a
great deal about "trout fishing"
"speckled trout" ''speckled beau
ties" Much has been written on the
advantages of Potter County in this
respect and the attention of pleasure
seekers and fishing parties, has been
repeatedly called to our pure water
and brook trout and the success of
various fishing parties are frequent
ly sounded by the press. But
with all our natural advantages how
little do we as a people, realize how
much with verv little cost could be
done to brin, the luxury of having
trout for breakfast when desired,
brought within the reach of many
families i'll this County. We have in
almost or quite every township in
the County numerous beautiful and
lasting springs of soft water afford
ing small gravelly streams which be-
ing obstructed by small dam, easy
of construction, would form a pond
in which could be raised all the trout
needed in the family.
To convince any skeptical reader
of the feasibility of this, / would
only invite him to visit the premises
of Mr. n. Clark two miles north OF
Coudersport where he will find in a
small pond occupying a surface not
exceeding twenty-five by forty feet,
some most beautiful trout, very tame,
coming to their masters hand to re-
ceiye their food and even suffering
themselves to be touched and even
lifted gently by the hand. There
are in this little pond about 200 large
trout in a healthy growing condition,
besides the little fry.
The pond as now constructed
could not have cost over fifteen to
eighteen dollars and | believe there
is no better or cheaper way for the
owners of good springs in this
County to procure luxury for then
families or a pleasure for their chill
dren than to rig up pond and stock
it with trout. ALLEGANY.

Wrote the poet Whittier, about
some Massachusetts farm homes per-
haps, though he did not say where.
If he had come to Pennsylvania, and
to Potter County, he would have
found high lands and wild lands,
with purest air and piled masses of
verdure; dark in places with the
evergreen trees-fresh in other spots
with the young leaves that will fall
so soon; leafy dells with springs of
sweet water clear and cold; here and
there an opening full of strawberry
vines, on which the fruit is just ri
pening, or rasp or blackberry bushes
which will bear treasures of sweet
ness a little later.
We are high up and have long
winters and late frosts, but from ac-
counts given in the papers we find
that very many parts of the country
that we have been used to consider
favored by climate have suffered with
cold and frost and storms far more
than we have done this year.
But even if the winters are severe
and the springs late, the beauty-the
freshness-the luscious fruitage of the
summer are unsurpassed. Tourists
in search Of the picturesque, artists
looking for the beautiful, families
wishing to find pure air and quiet
rest, sportsmen-but we neither need
nor desire to tempt them to hunt our
beautiful wild animals,-all can find
here a place of rare attraction in its
short summertime. Our compare
tive freedom from mosquitoes and en-
tire freedom from poisonous serpents,
at least in the vicinity of Couders-
port, make it safe region for child
ren and a desirable one to older peo-
pie. 1t is pleasant to know that
every year the County is becoming
better known, and the nearer rail-
road makes the journey hither ap-
pear less formidable.

WE clip the following items con-
cerning the r. r. from the Clinton
Republican.
Jersey Shore is not satisfied with
the location of the track Of the J. S.
& b. railroad through their neighbor-
hood and a proposition from the
company to lower the grade and
bring the depot into the village is
now being considered. The condi-
tions are ten acres OF ground, six
miles right Of way, and $4,000.
The Herald is hopeful that these
terms will be complied with.
MEssRs. Wilcox & Murphy have
taken the contract to build five miles
of the Pine Greek and Jersey Shore
road lying between London and
Larry's Greek and contemplate i'm

SOME people seem to have an idea
that the flowers planted in our ceme-
terry are public property and freely
help themselves to such of them as
happens to please their fastidious
tastes. We are glad to say that such
persons are few in our community,
still occasionally one can be seen
coming from the cemetery with
a beautiful boquet culled from the
graves Of some one else's friends.

The Popular Science Monthly
for July, is here much earlier than
usual. 1t opens with wonderfully
interesting paper "How the sea
depths are explored" from which is
taken the following extract:
Prof. Thomson observes: "The
enormous pressure at these great
depths seemed at first sight alone
sufficient to put any idea Of life out
of the question. There was a curious
popular notion, in which | well re-
member sharing when boy, that in
going down, the sea-water became
gradually under the pressure heavier
and heavier, and that all the loose
things in the sea 1loated at different
levels, according to their specific
weight: skeletons of men, anchors,
and shot, and cannon, and, last Of all
the broad gold-pieces lost in the
wreck of many a galleon on the
Spanish Main, the whole forming a
kind of false bottom to the ocean,
beneath which there lay all the depth
OF clear, still water, which was heay-
ier than molten gold. The conditions
of pressure are certainly very extra
ordinary At 10000 feet a man
would bear upon his body weight
equal to 20 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, each

From the Evening Post.
THE RED MEN,

In 1868 Generals Sherman, Augur,
Terry and Harney, with other commits
sioners, were appointed to examine in
to the causes of our Indian wars. They
presented report which contained
these remarkable words: "If the lands
of the white man were taken, civiliza-
ton justifes him in resisting the inva-
der. Civilization does more than this
it brands him as a coward anda slave if
he submit to the wrong. Here civiliza-
tion made its contract and guaranteed
the rights of the weaker party. 1t did
not stand by the guaranty; the treaty
was broken, but not by the savage. If
the savage resists, civilization, with the
ten commandments in one hand and the
sword in the other, demands his imme-
diate determination. These are re-
markable words. They were written
after long months of strict examination
into the causes of our then existing
wars. The proof taken was SO horrible
and revolving it was not made public.
Speaking of one massacre of Indians by
our white volunteers, the Commissions
ers say: ut scarcely has a parallel in
the records of Indian barbarity. Flee
ing women holding up their hands for
mercy were brutally shot down, infants
were killed and scalped in derision,
men were tortured and mutilated in a
manner that would put to shame the
