points. We have street railway, TO
be sure, but to use a common express
sion, which is very applicable, 1T Is
out of sight" and to all appearances
Very likely to stay so until the warm
sun of summer casts its gentle rays
upon the snow, by which it is now COM
pletely covered, and dissolves it into
u LIQUID form. The managers of the
Traction company are making no EFFORT
TO clear their tracks further than Pine
street. The authorities should take the
matter in hand.
The article in the Elmira Budget, last
Sunday, stating that Colonel Thomas
4. Cody, of the Junction, was about To
remove to Oklahoma has no founda-

tion of removing from Pittston, but
proposes to remain here and put up
good fight for the office of city assessor.

tinguished and but little damage was
done.
