The report recently circulated in central
Penns, lvania that there is Oh Rattlesnake
creek, IN this county, a grove Of petrified
trees full of petrihed blackb will, It is
thought, be the means Of inducing num-
her of Pennsylvania Dutchmen to visit
this section early next summer. They are
coming out to gather petrified blackbirds
and take look at that Beaverhead Valley
land on which they have been told It is no
trick at all to raise one thousand bushels of
Irish potatoes to the acre. We obtain this
information from "Nfontana innocent"
who lately delivered season Of lectures
in the country school houses Of middle
Pennsylvania on "Nlarvellous Montana"
The Legislature of Montana is about to
pass law giving TO County Commission

GOV. CROsBY's PROTEST.

Governor Crosby, in long letter to the
Chairman Of the Z. S. Senate Committee
on Territories, vigorously protests against
the scheme Of leasing the National Park to
the Rufus Hatch Company. Gov. Crosby
closes his letter with the following scathing
wind up:
II would not willingly have SO much OBJ
truded his (llatch's) name into this letter,
but he IL the incarnation of system of
plunder, and the unsct upulous energy ot
the man makes vicious system doubly
vicious and dangerously irremediable. Un.
der his bare. faced avowal Of a purpose to
defy or overreach Congress-, again l urge,
more e,nphaticallv than ever before, the
necessity Of vigorous and pure govern.
ment, in the interest Of all the people and
especially of the Northwest, for the Park
Of the Yellowstone. Especially l would
urge the absolute annulment OF every un-
authorized lease made in the interest, and
by the mach,nations Of nonopolists inside,
and would-be tresspassers on the peoples
pleasure ground. Again l reiterate my
conviction that no person, more unit than
Mr.. Rufus Hatch to exercise monopoly
therein, or determine who are or who are
not tresspassers on the peoples pleasure
ground Is, at present, visible in the United
States. All the abuses that have made Nj
agara bye.word of disgust will attend
such an administration; and the past we'll
conside red legislation for the National Park
will have been made useless b, ,nercenary
and vulgar abuses. The present is the only
moment to determine whether the Park
shall be national pleasure ground or "a
monopoly and private cattle ranch Of de.
fiant speculator."

Lending Books,

'"To lend or not to Lend" is the first
question which the book-lover has to
PROFOUND to himself, and for which he
seeks vainly an answer. If he does not
lend the book which another needs and
cannot easily get elsewhere he is dog
in the Manager. If he does lend, and
the precious tome never more returns,
why the fool and his book are soon
parted. If. he tries to get wisdom by
consulting the records Of the past, he
soon gets confusion only. Some great
men and many little men have lent their
books freely and frequently Most of
the great Observation-Disclosures who adore
books as books--have rigidly refused to
part with any of the volumes from their
treasure-houses, guarding them as jeal-
ously as the Turk his harem; some have
even gone to tho extreme Of letting no
profane eye J fall within the
sacred depths of che bookcase.
Carlyle was one of the 4; great
men Of our scribbling century, and he
was free with his books. When Dickens
wanted to get up the facts for the frame
work of "A Tale of Two Cities" he con-
suited Carlyle as to the chief books he
should read to master the feelings and
the sayings and doines Of the period.
While he was expecting an answer, q
cart drove up before his house, full Of
books about the French revolution; and
Carlyle had sent IT.. j. ., !. !. ss,,......s.I
