A LEHICH BRANCH.
The Lehigh Valley VIII Father

BIG BUSINESS BOOM FOR EAsTOE.

The Paternity Of the Projected Railway
Line fre4n Easton 10 Ashland, Pa, Fi-
naIIy Fastened Upon the LehIgh valley
company-Jersey Central Is Not In It.
EAsToN, Pa, June 2s.-At the time
the old iron bridge across the Lehigh
river, at the foot Of South Third street,
was condemned, there was talk of that
company erecting new depot on the
south side of the river west of the Ebro
hotel The plans for a structure at that
point had been drawn long before that
time. just then no one paid much at
tention to the new move, except to say
that the proposed depot meant more ri
valry between the Jersey Central and
Lehigh Valley for passenger traffic.
The Opening overtures.
After while It came out in the min
utes Of the meetings of the county COM
missioners that the Lehigh Valley had
proposed to build the abutment at the
south side of the bridge and contribute
81. 900 towards the new structure. Next
came a proposition to vacate q portion of
the Philadelphia road opposite the pres
emit freight depot, the running of the
street car tracks over a new road donated
for that purpose by the Lehigh Valley
company, the changing OF its overhead
trestling there to conform to it, the erec-
ton of the new passenger depot at an
elevated point at the west end of the
Lehigh cut, the cutting down of the
south approach to the Third street
bridge, the lowering of the middle pier,
the cutting down of the Easton APP
proach. and the construction of heavier
and wider bridge.
All the propositions were agreed TO,
the Lehigh Valley did its share of the
work. and the erection of the new bridge
and the excavations for the new depot
was commenced The laying of .sT'
rails on Third street by the street car
company, andrthe repairing, repainting
and relettering of the street cars at the
Lehigh Valley shops caused some talk,
and many people wondered what 1t
meant and who was paying for the
work
Easton and Northern Organized.
The biggest sensation of all was caused
on May %, when the reporters were fur
nished with an item about the organi-
I cation of the Easton and Northern Rail-
road company to build railroad up the
Bushkill valley, from point at or near
county for the purpose of tapping the
farming and slate regions, and about the
awarding of the contract to James
Smith, one of the directors. That item
set people to wondering who was back
ing the enterprise. When asked on May
2S by a reporter whether the new road
will connect with the Lehigh Valley or
Jersey Central, director replied, Il am
not prepared to say"
A Lehigh Valley Project.
Your correspondent has learned from
d gentleman who seemed to be well in
formed, that the Lehigh Valley is back.
ing all the improvements mentioned;
that the road will connect with the Eas-
ton and Northern; that it is proposed to
run freight cars over the new Lehigh
bridge, and that a large freight depot
win be erected at the foot of Third street.
The projects are large ones, and will
prove valuable to the Lehigh Valley as
well as to the business interests of Eas-
ton.

How ''fly" the average crow is, too.
Note sometime, when you are riding
along in train, how Indifferent q crow
is TO the flying engine and cars. Note,
too, how carelessly they will sit on some
nearby tree or in some field as you drive
along the highway. Now stop the horse
and see how quickly their heads come
up and how uneasy they get. It's ten
TO one that before the carriage has
ceased rocking, and before you can take
aim with a gun, every one of them are
on the wing. Once two of US were rid
ing along the road, and in field were
several crows. Close to the road was a
high ledge around which the highway
led, hiding us for moment from the
birds Here jumped out, while my
companion drove right along at the usu-
al gait. Waiting moment, crept up
the hedge, and when looked over care
fully every crow was walking off and
lookingsback. They did not see me, but
they missed me from the team, and reas-
oned there was danger, and did not get
a shot.-N. Y. Graphic.

Two gentlemen were talking about a
business enterprise, in which, though it
involved some pecuniary risk, they
were strongly inclined to embark.
Finally one Of them remarked: II
must consult my wife before l decide"
"WhyP' exclaimed the other, lis she
boss2" ''No," was the calm reply,
neither am l. We are well-matched
team; and we don't drive tandem. My
wife is as much interested in the welfare
of our family as l and she has right to
have a voice in the investment of our
little property" There is nothing more
than justice in this view of matrimonial
obligation, especially in the case of
poor or only well-to-do families and
these comprise an overwhelmingly
large proportion of the families in this
country-where a slight increase or
diminution of the earnings would be felt
alike by every member. The wife, who
has labored in the home to earn or to
save, while the husband has labored in
the field, the shop, or the counting room,
is justly partner in his earnings and
their savings, and should share in all his
plans of disposin9 of their small &C
cumulations, so as to make them more
productive if all goes well.

A Qu.er battle.

A traveller in South Africa tells of a
singular combat that he witnessed. BE
was musing one morning with his eyes
on the ground, when he noticed a cater
pillar crawling along at rapid pace,
followed by hundreds Of small ants. Be-
ing quicker in their movements, the ants
would catch up with the caterpillar and
one would mount his back and bite him.
Pausing, the caterpillar would turn his
head and bite the ant and kill his tor
mentor. After Strengthening dozen or
more Of his prosecutors the caterpillar
showed sigus of fatigue. The ants made
a combined attack. Betaking himself
to stalk Of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tail first, followed by the ants. As
one approached he seized II in his jaws
and threw it off the stalk. The ants,
seeing that the caterpillar had too strong
a position for them to overcome. resort
ed to strategy. They began saving
through the grass stalk. In a few mo-
ments the stalk fell, and hundreds Of
ants pounced upon the caterpillar. 1t
was killed at once.-Brooklyn Eagle.

why it is difficult to tell a comedian
from an undertaken, of the stage.

often, but blue eye doesn't necessar-

William Henry Rawls, the eminent

1t is specially addressed TO young men

il applies with equal if net greater force
to countless numbers Of young men on
our farms and in our shops who look to
some easier and swifteF way TO distinc-
zion and fortune than by mastering a
trade. He has been close and intelli-
gent observer Of men, and he is i'm

ABLY nine-tenths Of the men who attain
fame or fortune, owe their success large
Iy ifnot wholly 10 the training of the

Iege graduates the wisdom of bringing
their exceptional training to command
the exceptional distinction that is prom
ised them in the shops Of the country.
Our common departure from the once
accepted system Of apprenticeship and
the thorough mastery of trades, is the
