A correspondent in the Lebanon
"Daily Times" referring to the results
Of prohibition inquiries:
What is to be done with Potter county
An exchange says: At recent term
Of the Quarter Sessions Court of Potter
County, Pennsylvania, the District At
torney Informed the Court that he had
no indictments or bills to present to the
Grand Jury; the Sheriff also, stated
that he had no criminals in the prison;
AID the directors Of the poor reported
that they had no one to keep at the
county's charge or expense. Potter
county has had no tavern license for
ten years, and this is given as the rea-
son for the lack Of court business.
Being curious to know whether or
not this statement was made in aocor-
dance with the facts in the case, I
clipped 1t out Of the paper and inclosed
It In n letter to the Prothouotary of
Potter county, requesting him to in
form me Of the facts in the case. In
due time received the following:
CoUDERsPoKT, Pa, March IL, 1880.
l. L. Kephart--Dear Sir:-Yours Of
the 10th received. ! reply with pleasure.
At our December term of court We had
no jury, for we had nothing for them
10 do. We have no poor house In the
county, for We have no use for one.
Potter county has had no licenses to
sell whisky for nearly thirty years. |
Therefore our Jail is empty about ten
months in the year.
Respectfully yours,

Saturdays Dover "Ssntinei" has the
following:
"The drouth has affected the crop Of
Strawberries very materially. What
promised 10 be most profitable year to
our growers turns out to be complete
failure. Although the set of berries
was large, they have dried up on the
vines, and those which have matured
are almost worthless. We know of but
one patch that amounts to anything,
and that is owned by New York man
near town, who has kept a sprinkling
cart moving through his patch. The cart
holds five barrels Of water, and attach
cd to it is a piece of hose enabling him
to water around the plants. His crop
is said to promise WE'LL" This is about
the same story told by the farmers who
came into the Wilmington market.
Though there are some very fife straw
berries in the market the crop may be
said practically to be failure.

To THE EDIroR OF THE REpgBLIcAN.--Hay
ing seen an article somstime since II
the several papers Of this oity concern
ing the removal Of the boarding hom,
for young women, was induced to ac
cspt the invitation given to the genera
public to visit the new house, located
at Ne. 4l6 East Sixth street. The OBJ,
ject Of this house, as explained to me,
is the Offering to young women depend.
ent upon their own exertions, con-
venient and comfortable home, with
the privilege Of a free reading room,
for the nominal price Of 81 90 per week.
The location Is certainly convenient to
most Of the business women of this
place, being central point from the
several factories in the eastern portion
OF the city, and not far from any part
OF Market street for those engaged in
stores. Upon being shown through the
home by the lady in charge, was
struck with the air Of home like comfort
that prevailed everywhere, and the
question arose constantly in my mind,
why is II that this house is not filed
to overhowing as are similar institutio |
In all OF our large citiesY" Surely 1t |
can only be because those for whom II
has been especially opened do not know
'f its existence, or are under false i'm.
pressions regarding its management.
The clearinghouse was started by
number OF ladies who were interested
n one Of our charitable organizations,
md from this fact some may have asso-
'iated the idea of charity with this
louse. Such, emphatioally, is not the
ase. The opening of the house was
merely to supply great need long felt
q our nidst-that of a place where
'oung women of worth, necessitated,
eoause Of low wages, to pay low rates
board, could find comfortable liv-
1g aside from the low, coarse boarding
ouses, whose only recommendation is
neapness, and where the associations
re in every way distasteful to a sensi-
We woman. From my present knowl-
ige of this institution | can heartily
commend ii to any lady ofrefnement
i'd intelligence, and will be glad if
lis article may induce any such to in
'5tigate for herself as have done. A
!, for one, am thankful such house
IS been established in this city. My
mpathies are with those whs long for s
pleasant home, where only pure in.
lences are felt, and truly hope they
III take advantage of this excellent |
portunity. Very respectfully, @
A visitor and friend of the
BOARDING HOWE. It'll,
