| And why not ? The first thing that the
| postmaster in the mailing Office has to look
| for is the state after that the county and
| only then at the postoflico. The personal
| address is of no Importance until it comes TO
the delivery office. Why not then reverse
| the present style ?
What | would like more To know is how IL

and reach Lancaster ut 6:3O a. M. pokes

the fur trade in New York. There is no roof
on the ice palace; and it stands on town lot

| Hudson. For when ice is ice in Canada it i
| about two feet thick and hard to handle.
while ON the Hudson ten inch ice is of sufii-
cient and convenient thickness.

| W. II. Hierlv, who was a rather iniepcn-
dent sort of a Democratic member Of the
legislature from Lycoming county few win
tcrs ago is out in Grand Forks, Dakota,
practicing law, helping to edit the Herdld
and growing up generally with the country.
He keeps his eye on PENNSYLVANIA politics,
and invites the friends of the coming new
regime at Washington to give careful heed
To the wants of his territory. MIuifostly

NenturCrs from the East, who would like
nothing better than TO have it admitted as a
state and then fall upon its body polite and
