tation speech was made by DR.. Seip,
which was II master piece of oratory,
but too lengthy for our columns else
We would publish It. The doctor Is
gaining quite a reputation as an OF.
hand speaker.

The click OF the mower il heard in
every direction and the smell OF new
mown hay" pervades the atmosphere.
Poets who love to dwell on this sub
ject can get their iii on almost any
NOW where the evaporated material
is RATED up with patent fork In n
temperature OF 100 Fahrenheit. The
way to get rid of Spring poets is to
kick them out, and the way to get rid
OF the "new-mown hay" cranks Is to
set them to pitching hay or pen them
on the NOW.
FISHERMEN, ATTENTIoNl-Simo OF
Longs hotel at McKees Half Falls,
which last year gained State wide
reputation as the best fishing place in
Central Pennsylvania, has already
frequent visits from fishermen. This
hotel is located on the bank OF the

OF the most gentlemenly and accom-
modating landlords in the State and
will spare no pains in making his
guests comfortable, Boats always on
hand Terms reasonable,
While at Beavertown last Saturday
we took stroll through the match
factory and were much pleased with
what we saw. The factory is operat-
ed much stronger than We had any
idea Of, 10 or l2 hands being employ
ed, and from SO to 3S gross Of matches
are made daily. The factory il ere.
dit to Beavertown, and we think we
are safe in saying that no better par
lor matches are made in the United
States. We also paid brief visit to
j. u. Kearns' carriage emporium and
were. surprised to find the large and
elegant stock of vehicles he was car.

Last Saturday evening Theodore
Row Of Middlecroek township, gave
birthday surprise party to Mrs Row.
At about eight o'clock fifty or more of
their friends and neighbors made their
way unobserved to the residence OF
Mr.. Row and at n given signal all en-
tered, completely surprising Mrs. Row
who had not even dreamed of party.
The tables wero immediately spread
with the good things the friends had
brought with them of which all par
took with relish. The presents were
numerous and valuable, After spend
ing few hours in social enjoyment
all returned to their homes well
pleased. We hope Mrs. Row may live
to enjoy many more happy birthdays.
All true lovers OF angling in this
State welcomed the first day OF June
with enthusiasm, for that day inau-
gurated in Pennsylvania the season
for catching black, yellow and striped
bass. No kinglier fish than the bass,
with the single exception of the trout,
inhabits our streams, and none afford
greater sport to the wielders OF rod
and line. Bass are gamy to the death,
sharp biters and tolerably plentiful at
well-known points. They are often
caught from three to five pounds In
weight in the waters of this State, and
when four or five pound bass is
hooked with light rod it takes all
the skill OF the veteran fisherman to
play him until he is o Exhausted and
finally land him in triumph In the
boat or ashore. There are q variety
of opinions as to the best bats for
bass, but at this season the fish may
be takenin several ways. Helegemite,
or imam eaters" as the country peo-
pie call them, are delicate morsel,
just now, for the fish, probably the
best live bait. Next come brook, or
''stone-wall" minows which are much
livelier than river minnows. Small
frogs, fresh water crabs and even a
bunch ofhalf q dozen fat angle worms
make q good bait. With all live bait
anglers will find II to their advantage
