BERWICK,

COmlng across the mountain from
Jamestown one can catch a winters
scene on the north side that he will
not soon forget, attractive to any OBJ
server Of the grandeur Of nature at
this time of year We could travel
with the eye almost to Muncy, Lycom-
ing county. The North mountain
stood forth in serrated shapes clad in
the great white robes of winter, while
the farms at its base and all through
the valley between the Huntington
and the North mountains were wear
ing their counterpanes of immaculate
snow, crowned with the radiance of
the sun and embroidered with the
evergreen woodlands and all this con.
tinued far away toward where the sun
opens his burning eye upon the mists
and twilight of morning In summer
or winter this broad and long range of
farms between these mountain ranges
present one vast quiet work unknown
anywhere in the state.

absent and returned home to friends
we found Geo. T. Hill, reared in Col

remain here for some months and
then return toward the setting sun.

to the old play grounds of his nativity
and childhood years

John Hill, Sa years of age, after quite
prolonged seige of rheumatism is
able to be about again and feels as
happy and youthful as one of so yrs.
