Your correspondent receives many
letters. Property owners who desires to
settle at Risley and have not the means
to do so, probably the best way to do
is to have cleared throughly one or two
acres before settling here. This will
enable man to farm to the best advan-
tage when he arrives and will be another
step towards home. The surest way
is the best way. Those property owners
who are idle this Winter will find it to
their advantage to come down and clear
portion OF their ground. They can
obtain very reasonable board while here
and will find the trip both enjoyable and
profitable.

on Cumberland Ave-, and will clear two
acres and SOW the same with grass hav-

future. Mr.. johnson is a quiet, steady
young man and will make d very desir-
able citizen.

clared to be bear tracks and an extern
phore hunting party was organized,
headed by Mr.. Hatch. Word was sent
to Hunter Reichart to bring up his dogs.
After your correspondent reached the
ground the trail was followed for several
hundred feet, it being plain and evidently
very fresh, leading straight up the road
and while wild visions Of juicy bear steak
and toothsome hams were floating
through our brains, MIR. Rhinehart, the
veteran hunter from Tuckahoe arrived
aud pronounced the tracks to be made
by bare footed horse. The hunting
party dissolved and we all took drink
at the town pump at Mr.. Hatch expense
