An Amusing Story.

Secretary of Agriculture Edg,
says one OF the chief difficulties he
finds in holding farmers institute
for the first time in n locality is the
prevalent belief that it is a scheme
out of which somebody wants to
make money. "The farmers invari.
ably imagine somebody has some
thing to sell" said Mr., Edge yester
day, "and the result is that th
don't tako to the institute at fir
They imagine il isa money making
scheme Secretary Edge tells n
story illustrating this fact. He and
Alr. Gabriel Hester, who resides
near Harrisburg, attended an insti.
tutein one of the northeastern conn
ties. 1t was Mr.. Edges intention
to talk about fertilizers and he car
ried circular descriptive of that ar
ticle. Mr.. Hester was to discuss
pruning, and that he might give n
practical demonstration of his sur.
gestions he took with him n large
branch OF tree. As the two passed
up the aisle, the assembled horny
handed sons of the soil eyed them
susplclously, and their suspicious
settled into n certainty when they
saw Mr. Edges circular and Mr..
Hiester's branch. Dang it," said
one disgusted to his noighbor in a
whisper loud enough to be heard IA
Dang it. | told you they
want ter make money. That big one
there, he's sellin' fertilizers and the

Southern Central Railroad 10 be Sold by
the Sheriff.

Last week the Posr published the
legal notice for the Sherifrs sale OF
the properly and franchise of the
Southern Central Railroad. The
sale will take place on Saturday.
Nov. 30th, at the court house in Har-
risburg. With this sale will collapse
another railroad scheme that promis.
ed much for the people of Snyder
county.
This proposed road was fostered
by the Reading, which helped it
along to the tune of nearly $40, 900.
IL was surveyed to run from n con.
nection with the Readings manu-
facturer's branch in Harrisburg
through the counties of Dauphin,
Perry aud Snyder to Sunbury, where
connection was to have been made
with the Shamokin, Sunbury Il Lew
isburg branch of the Reading. Most
OF the work, chiefly grading, was
done between Harrisburg and Rock
vile, nearly 100000 having been
spent on the grading. Had tho line
reached the completion stage it
would have proven u rival of the
Philadelphia & Erie. The Reading
may purchase the franchise at the
sale.

Halt a Century Ago.

In leaflng over an old history prb.

Meeting Of Fish Association.

On Saturday next, Goth inst. th,
subscribers to membership in the
snyder county Fish Protective As
sociation, are requested TO meet Mt
the court house III Middleburgh, at
~ o'clock A. NJ, for the purpose of
finally organizing said association.
The above may drop as a surprise
to many of our citizens who are not
subscribers to the membership, and
1t may not be out of place to state
here few of the reasons why our
people deem it of incalculable bene-
mt to effect such an organization.
For many years in fact ever since
our food fishes have become scarcer
every year-it has been the general
talk that some means ought to be
provided by which ouriuland streams
could be replenished with fish that
are known to have inhabited them
years ago, and such other species as
are adapted to our streams. Our
State board of Fish Commissioners
have done great deal towards this
and, particularly in furnishing brook
trout and black bass, carp not ex-
cepted but by experience not found
desirable) but other varieties so
much desired by our people, such as
Rock Bass, White Bass, Perch, ETC.,
have been scarce and the first lot of
Rock Bass that have ever come to
our stream (Middlecreek) at this
point were furnished to II. IL. Grimm
last spring, about 80 altogether.
Two cans of those were placed in
Penns Creek. west of Centerville.
About 6 or s of those placed in the
stream here in May were caught this
fall and returned to the water again,
and were found to have increased in
size beyond expectation. This seems
to have given more encouragement
to our citizens than anything that
had been done in the past.
1t has been known rs a fact that
ever since the reservoirs were dug
along the Penn'a Canal thousands of
all kinds of fish come down from the
rivers above Shamokin Dam every
tall and stop in the reservoirs and
after the water is drawn out of the
-
'anal they remain there and die dur
ng the winter. For years the citi
,ens along the river advised our peo-
Die here to take out those fish and
ieposit them in the stream here, but
'wing to the expense but few were
Wiling to go into any such arrange
nents, and while every body admit
ed that it was the only way we could
keep our streams stocked, yet moth.
ng was done but talk, until last
tuesday, when ii. III. Grimm deter
mined to make an effort to accom-
'lish something in the way of earnest
york. He drew up four petitions.
ne for this place, one for Paxton.
lille, one for Beavertown and one
or Adanisburg, the petitions agree
ng to pay a membership fee of one
.ollar which will accumulate suili-
lent fund to purchase all the nee
ssary equipments to carry out the
bJects OF the association, and on
'riday evening we were astonished
o find 56 names on the list here with
nough Others who are known to be
'illing to join to run it up to some
lxty members. We have not heard
nything from the other places but
lncerely hope they will respond
qually rs we'll in proportion, at the
leeting on Saturday.
