The WWiumsport G. Il B. says:-
" G. Mcdonald, OF Beech Greek, was
arrested few days ago by Detective
LIQUID, OF Emporium, and taken to
Pittsburg, charged with embezzliug the
public moneys of the United States, and

There will. be a "Strawberry Fes-
tivap for the benefit OF Rev, l. Brene-
man, held at Rhinc's hall, during the

be right, Mr.. Bieneman has abored in
this vicinity for long time, and it is
through his untiring efforts that the
Lutherans have church, and in
pecunialy point Of view has received
scarcely anything. We hope that the
festival will be success.
This is the season for eggs, and the
Democrat of April 1st has a notice of
big egg by NJ. j. Farley that measured
6x7t inches; the Warren Mall knocks
the spots off Miller's egg by putting up
one that goes Ct inches one way by 81
the other. OF Course these eggs are
good sized ones but where a hen lays
two day, even if the eggs are small
they fetch more. The following story
which Gould of the Cameron Press
We have no doubt will vouch for, was
got off by one of the Opportunities:
"By hokey boys" says he at the same
time ejecting large mouthful of
tobacco juice on the stove, 81 have
hen as is hen, she's laid two eggs
every day this winter and you know
what hard winter its been on hens"
Tree planting has commenced this
spring in earnest. Ed. Payne has set
out few in front of his south street
residence. H. S. Thayer has planted
trees the whole length of his lot on Mill
street, and D. G. Oyster has his lot that
he purchased of B. F. Ely, completely
surrounded by trees. w. H. Schram
has also planted some fine trees in front
of the Hyde House lot, and Jas. Magin-
mis- has also few on his lot on South |
street, besides several others who are
going to plant some just as soon as the |
weather settles. This is certainly a
step in the right direction, and we ope |
to be able TO chronicle in a short time, |
that every person in town who owns |
property las engaged in this worthy |
enterprise. Nothing adds SO much to |
he beauty Of a town as shade trees.
