UPPER LEHIGH NOTES.

There is a whisper going the rounds
that Saturday may bring payday, and if
it does, we hope the frost and ice will
continue, so that the boys who go to
Freeland can have some excuse for re-
turning home with skates on.
Quite number of our young men
were in Hazleton on Saturday evening.
e. B. Lesenring, of Philadelphia, was
in town on business.
Politics are very quiet. There is not
enough life in town at present to make q
noise in township affairs.
Dennis Ferry was in Plymouth on
Saturday attending the funeral OF
relative.
Stripping work at No. 5 promises to
continue until late in the summer.
Mrs. Patrick Brogan is recovering
after being attacked with sickness.
More than half million tons of coal
were shipped from the collieries here
during 1898.
The cold snap for several days this
week gave the skater an opportunity to
amuse themselves at the various ponds
and mine holes in this vicinity
George Rebur, resident of Railroad
street, who has been showing signs OF
insanity for several months past, became
so violent on Monday that he had to be
tied, and on Tuesday he was taken to
Laurytown asylum. His wife and two
children still remain here.
Several of our young men are inclined
to become singers and are rehearsing
nightly and are also about to take lessons
in voice culture with view of attaining
that end. They have the talent if the
patience is not lacking to bring it out.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

The slack time at this place is what is

more emphatic than polite.

Suit in Equity.

A suit in equity against Condy Nc
Laughlin and James Wilson, supervisors
of Foster township, and Wm. jenkins,
collector, was begun at Wilkes Barre on
Monday by Eckley B. Coke and others.
The plaintiffs all say that for the year
1898 the valuation of their property as
fixed by the assessors amounts to $780,
965; that in addition to the general road
tax of the ten mills, an additional tax of
one mill was levied, which tax they
claim is illegal. The plaintiffs therefore
ask that an injunction be issued restrain
ing the tax collectors from collecting the
tax

Hoods Calendar,

Perfectly lovely" is what all the
ladies say about the calendar for 1894
published by G. l. Hood & Co., pro-
prietors of Hoods famous Sasaparilia.
1t is unique and beautiful calendar
which combines accuracy of date and
other useful and valuable information
with the attractions of ornament. 1t is
very desirable and serviceable gift.
Those of our readers who have not al
ready secured one, can do by applying
to the druggists or sending six cents in
stamps for one or ten cents for two
copies, to G.. l. Hood x Co., Lowell, Mass.

struck Against an Imposition.

During the past several months No.
Silver Brook brealer had been working
nine hours per day. On the first of the
year the officials decided to curtal the
breaker hands another hour, giving
them but eight hours pay. The amount
of work to be done, however, it was
found required more than eight hours,
and as a consequence the employees
struck on Tuesday morning.
The officials conceded the demands of
the men, and they will hereafter be paid
for each hour worked. The coliery has
resumed operations.
