RAISING sheep in Vermont seems to
be one of the lost arts, and still our senior
seLato holds apparently to the idea that
his mission is to hold the duty on wool
up to point where it would be profitable
to raise wool in Huntingdon
independent.
If our Democratic brother should con-
suit the report of the tenth census he
would find that there were about 100000
sheep in Vermont in $780, and if he
should come down to this county it could
easily be demonstrated to him that "ras-
ing sheep in Vermont is not lost art. =
Possibly there are fewer of them in Yer
mont now than five years ago. If so, it
is not because the art of raising them
is lost" but because our senior senator
was not able to succeed in his mission and
prevent the passage of the tariff act of
March. 1883. from the effects of which
the wool industry is but just recovering

The political situation over in York
State is decidedly interesting. The Re
publicans nominated a State ticket which
the ultra-Democratc World admits pos
sesses elements of considerable strength
Then the Democrats put up a ticket not
especially weighty and the second man
on it. Roswell p. Flower. declined to
emerge from private life even for the
chance of being made lieutenant govern
or. A substitute was finally found. The
''Mugwump" journals support the Re

will get few of the independent votes.
Altogether the prospect is not cheering
to the Bourbons of the Empire State.

The recent coal quotations under this
heading were misleading. The prices
given were for net, not gross, tons. And
even with this modification they should
not be taken as standards for prices of
coal elsewhere. In the first place, this
New Haven coal is not screened, and
screening involves a shrinkage of at least
500 lbs. to the car; again, there is speci-
ally low freight on coal to New Haven
because of its nearness to Vergennes, to

The Mob, valley and their Sceper.

The Mob Mountain is a beautiful chain
ridge of uniform altitude of several hun
dred feet of elevation from base to sum-
nit. Its base does not exceed mile, and
slopes boldly and regularly from either
side until it forms sharp even edge all
along the top of the entire length of the
first link, or to Shickshinny notch, resem-
bling a continuous oblong pyramid. 1t is
crossed by the old Berwick turnpike via
Jamestown, and also farther east by u
State road, Its western extremity butts
against Orangeville and stretches far away
in the distance in nearly straight line in
the direction of Wikesbarre and beyond
1t branches about four or five miles east of
Orangevile and runs from thence two par
allel chains to Shickshinny, whose bases
almost meet in places, forming an exceed
ingly narrow valley, expanding sufficient
ly, however, to contain a small settlement,
and contracting as it approaches Shick-
shinny, when they again unite into sin
gle chain and continues its above named
course. Several gaps are cut abruptly
through the Mob to the level of the sur
rounding country through which flow
Shickshinny and Hunlock creeks, facilita-
ting convenient and easy communication
between the great Fishingcreek and other
valleys and the railroad, river, canal and
coal breakers, creating Shickshinny and
Nanticoke great centres of trade. Access
to the above named places is better facli-
tated than formerly by the construction of
first-class turnpikes about five or six miles
in length each, through and from these
notches into the country. We never saw
a road so much travelled and used as the
pike" through Shickhinny NOTCH The
great valley lies at the foot all along the
entire Mob Mountain, and the landscape
spreads in the far distance, an extensive,
rugged, broken and undulating plateau,
containing many townships in upper Col
umba and Luzerne counties, extending
north twelve to sixteen miles until it does
homage all along the foot of North Noun

meandering in all directions, watering the
