JorrINGs pY rIIE -wAYsIDE.


IoaK, PA. Jan. %, 1875
Ed. JouRNAL;--In my rambles / called
at this place and availed myself of the OPP
portunity Of attending the first exhibition
Of the Southern Pennsylvania Poultry AS
sociatlon. The exhibition was held in a
large, eommodious building, with stoves
At each end, which made IL comfortable
4 for! both vieitoys and exhibitors.
Twas very amusing to pe to hear the
cackling and growing Of the gruff Bramahs
and Cochins, in contrast with the fpe
sharp notes Of the Bantams, mingled with
the quacking Of ducks and geese, the COB
linss Of turkeys, the cooling Of pigeons the
clattering whistle of canaries, the whining
Of dogs the .blatting OF goats, &c. l think
II person were to have been introduced,
with his eyes closed to the heterogore ,rs
sounds which would have fallen on hisears,
he could not have told with what sort Of
species he was surrounded. r
To the politenesa of Mr.. VIM. Gilber-
thorp, President Of the Association. to
whose indomitable energy and persever-
ance the success of this first exhibition is
in large measure attributed, together with
G. II. Fry, Secretary, and others, l am in
dcbted for much valuable information. I,
The following entries were made Sc
coops of Asiatics, consisting of light and.
dark Bramahs, buff, black and white Co.
chins, weighing from 10 to l3i pounds IL
coops Darkings and Hamburgs, Is coops
Black Spanish, 25 coops of Game fowls-fI
French and Polish-7 eoops Bantams.
G. II. Fry, Sec'y, had a fine lot OF Hou-
dams and Duckwing. Edward Stuck, editor
OF the York Press, had fine display Of
Bronze Turkeys, one of which weighed 80
pounds one pair weighed 81 pounds
One pair OF BramAhs, owned by Pres't Glib
erthorp, which took the Premium, were
purchasad Of Nv. II. Todd, Vermillion,
Ohio. dA
Nine toops Of Ducks and Geesewere
exhibited by Henry Neater, and Prof
Rafb, OF York, and c. II. Uphold, OF Lam
caster, Pa. 'i@
Nine varieties of dogs, among which
were pair OF very fine Irish Gray Hounds.
Also Coach dogs, Settlers, pair OF Rat Ter
riers, weighing but 8 or 81 pounds each, &c,
VIM. Eply, OF York, exhibited a cage of
miS bAihoi NOhoiotAiiS VI u NuTlbtN VI Ndna-
ries, Mourning Doves, Corn Crackers and
last, but by no means least interesting, was
three Paraquets or love birds, from Austria
liza, with exquisite plumage which attract
ed marked attention. There was also
cage Of Maltese Cats and pair of lop-ear-
ed Rabbits, from Madagascar. perfectly
black with earsfully eight inches in length,
besides several other varieties of Rabbits.
Several purchases were made by poultry
fanciers Of the Asiatic varieties, at from SS
to $40 per pair.
II was a very difficult task to decide on
which were worthy of premiums, as all on
exhibition was as fine as could be, yet the
onerous duty was performed to the entire
satisfaction of the exhibitors by the judges,
Mr.. John Cldpp, of Philadelphia, Prof
Raub, OF Loek Haven, and Joseph Win
dolph, of York ~

The delinquent tar sales were well attend

portion Of the lands advertised for sale we're
paid up before sale day, so that the sales

extensive tax sales in Wood county are a
thing Of the past-hope so at least.

A Queer Letter.

The following letter, written by promi-
nent western man to friend, acknowledge
ing the receipt Of demiiohn Of whiskey,
contains some valuable facts:
CHRISTMAS, 1874.-MY DEAR NJ:
Your letter came like John the Baptist,
preparing the way for the other "john" con-
tanning the elements of some iun, some
fights and some funerals. With care hope
to extract in a subdued form, little Of the
first and none Of the two latter. 1t is a
great qualification to the reflective mind to
note in this jug the wonderful improvement
which modern Civilization and Christianity
have developed. Eighteen hundred and
seventy-four years ago to-day, notwithstand-
ing, carpenter by the name of Joseph and
several persons around the stable, besides
some wise men, like Ben Butler, from the
East, probably near Boston, would have
found solace in sip of Kentucky bourbon
and made themselves mellow over demi-
john such as you have sent me this blessed
day. There was no whiskey in the world |
Think of that, my friend Dwell for q
moment on a slingless, smashless, cocktail
less, toddyless globe. and then with your
ability as a saturator, an irragator of the
inner man, a consumer of corn compounds,
bless your lucky stars that you were not
born before the Christian era. The barbar-
ism of the anti-alcoholic ages must have
been exceedingly disagreeable to gentlemen
like yourself, who had latent native ability
to investigate the mysteries of the pleasure
OF taste as conveyed through the means Of
imbibation OF exhilarating fluids. When ]
dwell upon the vast violence which the non
existence of whiskey must have wreaked
upon their longing palate, am moved sl.
most to tears, and quite prevailed upon t.
drink in silence TO their memories, Here
to your good health and your family's, may
you live long and prosper" and your who'll
life become one merry Christmas up ever
to the last week and day, and minute, be
fore you enter the new year which begin
beyond the river.
Truly Yonra.

4 Bogus Mason-pass Him Around.

A Bogus Mas0n--Pass Him Around.
Yesterday afternoon rather elderly
man made application to the Masonic
Board Of relief for assistance He gave
his name as Howard Darling, said he wos
from Sioux Falls, d. T., and on his way
to Cincinnati. Reclaimed to have brought
his family here, but his money being nearly
exhausted, he had sent them on to Cincin-
natl, which exhausted all his funds, and he
had stopped off TO get assistsnce from the
Fraternity to enable him to reach his des-
tination.
The case was turned over. to Mr.. Ben
jamin, who catechised him carefully; and
became convinced he was an impostor, al
though the fellow was 30 ready-tongued
and so thoroughly versed in Masonic work
that it was difficult to catch him. He rep
resented that he belonged to Shekinah
Lodge, No. Z, of Sioux Falls, d. T., but
said the Lodge was some "a miles from
railroad or telegraph, and It could not be
communicated with, to test the truth Of his
story. He also claimed to have been the
principle of seminary somewhere in the
west. He said he was almost starving, hav-
ing eaten nothing all day.
Mr.. Benjamin did not altogether believe
the story, but he gave the man enough to
provide him with supper and lodging,
and in the meanwhile his case could be
investigated. Soon Mr.. b. discovered
enough to convince him that the fellow
was swindler, and he procured his arrest.
On searching him at the station-house,
memorandum was found in his pocket, Civ
ing satisfactory evidence that he was pur-
suing the business Of swindling Masonic
bodies systematically. A list Of the lodges
he had visited, and the amounts collected
were included in the memorandum, and is

The Masonic Festlyal.--Time forbade
an extended notice Of the Masonic Festi
val and Ball in our last issue, which must
be our excuse for further mention this
week. II would be an injustice to the
several COMMITTEES. and especially the COM
mittee on the preparation of the Town Hall
did we not at least SLY they were entitled
to a vote Of thanks from every menber
of the lodge for their Jealous efforts to
have everything - comfortable as could
be desired. The collecting together Of a
dozen stoves AMI setting the n up ready for
use, is task of no small dimensions.
While the expenses Of producing the en-
have been heavy, the net
proceeds will very near iquidate the re-
IN inning Indebtedness of the Lodge; and
caves it in good working order. ''
The contributions Of provisions4or the
Festival were very liberal, and number OF
baskets full were left to he distributed among
the needy Of the village,

LocKE's NATIONAL MONTHLY. - The
February number of this ever popular mag
azine is sprightly and readable to an unus-
ual degree. 1t is entertaining without being
heavy, and humorous and amusing without
ever STOPPING to the treatment of its sub
jccts in a broad or questionable manner.
None of its literature is "cheap," and vel
it does not aim to be Bldckirood or an Al
tdntic Monthly. A glance at the content.
will convince any one that this number is
amply worth the ten cents asked for it
and is certainly very reasonable at one
dollar year. LOCKE & JONES, publish
