Extension "f Dining Car Service on
the Pennsylvania Lihes.

In these days of hurry and rapid transit
the dining car has become an essential ele-
ment of every through train. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad was the pioneer in the East OF
this branch of the service, and its dining cars
have won a well-merited reputation among
travellers. In order to better provide for the
comfort Of its through passengers dining cars
will, on and after June 10th. be added to the
equipment of all through trains running over
the lines west OF Pittsburgh between the East
and Cincinnati, Chicago, and st. Louis. The
principal trains on the lines East of Pitts
burgh are now equipped with these cars, and
their addition to those of the Western terri
tory will greatly enhance the convenience OF
passengers destined to the three great West

French con,rac, for Maryland Tobacco

French COnaraci for Mary land Tobacco
The French contract for North American
tobacco was adjudicated by the ''Regie" in
Paris last week. The contract for about {, 600
hogshesds of Maryland tobacco included in
the adjudication was awarded to Hoffman s
Co., Paris. The Baltimore correspondents Of
this firm are Messrs. Geyer s Wilkens, who
will buy the tobacco in the Baltimore market.
Owing to the scarcity of the present tobacco
crop it is said by tobacco dealers that the
contract was given at an advance of two cents
per pound over previous prices. This is en-
couraging to our farmers and there is a prob
ability that better prices for their crops will
be obtained.

Crows, Hawks and OWIs.
By notice published elsewhere, it will
be seen that the county commissioners, in
the exercise of the power conferred upon
them by an act Of assembly, have, by an
order adopted at their recent session, re-
pealed the bounty on the scalps Of crows
hawks nd owls. We have not sufficient ac-
curate information on this point as to express
an opinion on tie economy Of this action on
the part Of our county fathers, nor have we
heard a sufficient expression Of opinion
on the part Of the farmers as 10 form an
idea of how the measure will be regarded by
them. We believe there has heretofore been
some division Of opinion in the matter but
the weight Of opinion has always been favor
able to the bounty. These are times when
economy in the public expenditures are urg-
emily demanded by the circumstances Of the
people, and We have no doubt that the CON-
missioners were actuated by good motives in
cutting of the small annual expenditure in
this behalf. There is another power in the
same line Of local economy, which was con-
ferred on the county commissioners by the
same act Of assembly, viz: the taxation oi
dogs in the interest Of sheep husbandry. We
believe there are petitions numerously signed
by our farmers and citizens generally, now
pending before the board, asking that this
power be exercised by them. Our neighbor,
the Independent. has also given its endorse
ment, which ought to have weight with the
commissioners, to the measure and we are
led to hope, by the action of the commission.
ers in the above matter, that they will not
much longer delay in taking the proper
action in the dog tax matter, which is one OF
more than ordinary Importance.

In closing his predictions for June, Rev.

says: THE last period for the month

Gated by red figures on our tabulated chart,
