aam oy the ladder cannot pass up the Su.
quenanna river further than to the mouth
Tue uniata, and fish cannot go up the j,

The fact was developed in the Perry con,
" court last week, that certain fish ward er
along the lower JuniatA while protesting
desire to enforce the rish law by institutip
suit against parties for trivial unintentions
violation of the fish law, have permit,e,
other men to construct fish baskets and S.
forth by the payment of five dollars to IN
warden. Certain wardsns are said TO hay
received hundreds of dollars by blac kmail
ing fishermen.
Last week there was published in thes
columns long account of the moyemen
OF Miffiin county man named Russell Kin
ser, alias Bell, with his arrest and impris
onment in LewistoSn Jail, since then h,
has plead guilty to the stealing of a hors,
from ID. W. Woods, and has been senten.

James North, son of Washington North
while turning his sleigh on the McAlister-
vile road at the east end of town, met with
such complete upset that horse and sleigh
went over together and the horse was so
paralized by the fall that neighbo came to
the help of James and put the animal on its
feet and the sleigh on its runners. The
horse was not hurt, the harness was untorn
aud the sleigh was unbroken, and James
sleighed gleefully away as if no uncommon
incident had overtaken him.
Sportsmen and scientific men view the
hawk and owl from different standp,ints.
Sportsmen would have sll the hawks and
owls shot, and would have the state or coun.
ty pay premium for their shooting, while
scientific men say that the destruction of
these birds will be decided injury to agrl-
culture, as both destroy immense quantities
of mice and insects. 1t is probable that the
next Legislature will be petitioned to take
the premium off the heads of the hawks and
owls.
Two dollars and fifty cents will buy a
pair of mems gum boots at G.. W. Heck's.
Others charge three dollars.
On Saturday morning, after having fin
ished conversation with Solomon Sieber,
in front of the Jacobs House about horses,
S amuel Bergey, Sr., fell to the pavement,
having been stricken by some ailment so
severely that he was supposed to be dead.
He was first taken into the hotel and when
consciousness was restored he was carried
to Mrs. Fink's place on Water street, she
being a sister, where he was stteIded BY
Drs. Crawford and Banks By Monday he
was able to go about and in a few days will,
in all probability be himself, once again.
''Yes sir" said Jones to Smith, .sas men
grow IN age and experience they advance in
81 don't think So"
''Don't think so That's rather singular.
The opinion hold on the subject is the uni ..
fersal opinion"
sit may be, but have my own opinion,
nevertheless, and it is that the younger we
,re the more we know. When was youth
knew twice as much as my father. Now I
am aged and 1 don't know half as much as
my son."
The Newport News of the 2lst inst, re-
Iates, that, hot ashes deposited in nail keg
has been given as the cause of fire destroy
ing the carpenter shop of Mr.. William
Stouffer, at Shermansdale. last Tuesday a
week. In his efforts to extinguish the flames
MIR. Stouffer was badly burned about his
face and neck. A dose of salts was pre-
scribedby his physician to put his system
in order, but in a mistake he took saltpeter.
The mistake was almost immediatly discov-
cred and by the prompt application of rem
edies the effects of the dose were speedily
removed.
A number of MifflIn county people have
taken offense at Judge Bucher, because he
will not issue an order to saloon keepers,
and men who sell drinks to remove all
screens that prevent general view of their
rooms and bars from the outside. The
Judge is reported as having said that he
has no authority to enforce such an order,
but if the parties who asked for the order
will secure the passage OF an act OF Assem-
bley to that effect be twill issue an order
accordingly. Queer that people should
take offense at Judge for refrainIng from
violating the law.
The Bradford Era says: Ham Beard sley
and Harp Andrews, of Limestone, N. Y,
were Id town on Friday last. They relate a
funny anecdote about the Rev. Mr.. North,
pastor OF the Methodist Episcopal church
at their place. On the Saturday before one
of his rural Pensioners drove up in front OF
the parsonage with a load of wood, jumped
off and rang the deor-bsll when the rever-
end gentleman met him with "You take
this man TO be J our lawful husband ~ when
the contributor of wood cried out: stop
stop! 1 have load of wood outside for you
Tell me- where will pile It." The minister
somewhat frustrated, said: ssExcuse me ;
| have had so many marriages Of late from
Pennsylvania that feel that every ring al
the bell announces the presence OF some
couple who want to be married. You can
drive around the house and throw it into
the woodshed." This is the result of the
marriage license law OF our State. Only SIX
couples were married in York State the past
week from this vicinity.
