Wide lire.

The PRESS of last week had a brief
article on broad tires that should
not escape the attention of any one
who pays road tax, or uses the road
for any purpose whatever. The
wide tire is a road maker insteed of
a road destroyer, as is the narrow
tire. There is also an economy in
draft, and a freedom from rutting
of fields on the farm that are mat
ters of no mean Importance. The
State of New Jersey, has law al
lowing Township committees to pass
an ordinance giving a rebate from
road tax of fifty cents for each wheel
on wagons or carts having a tire
four inches or more in width.
Sandyston has the credit of placing
the ordinance upon the town book,
and we are pleased to note that it
has stimulated the use of wide tires.
1t is a wise measure and every town
ship should adopt it in the interest
of good roads. H.

DINGMAN's FERRY, April 10. - Miss Re
becca Niles died at her home in Lehman,
near Briscoe's, on Friday last. The funeral
took place on Sunday from the r. d..
Church, at Dingman's, and was preached
by Rev. w, g. Myles. Miss Niles death
was sudden, although, we are told she has
not been in right good health for a time
past. Sometime since she was injured In
a runaway accident, aud her decline In
health perhaps dated from that time. De
ceased was a daughter Of Captsin Justin
Niles, of Silver Lake, aud sister of Messrs.
Pierre NJ. and Rupert p. Miles.
Merchants VIM. Dusenberre and j. b.
Westbrook, of Dingman's, have been raft
ing and running" railroad cross ties to
market for some days past. Each of these
merchants have already foated four or five
RATS OF this material to down-the-river
points since spring has opened.
Miss Hannah Layton, Of Center district,
owns COW that is the happy mother of
triplets over two weeks old. All three of
the calves are sprighlly little animals, each
marked almost alike, of the same color,
and all females. Such an occurrence of the
kind remembered in this locality was at
NJ. w. Dingman's, years ago.
Frederick Mink, who formerly resided at
Ridgeway's Mill, in Lehman township but
Of late years has held position on the po-
lice force iu Scranton, was shot by some
parties who were engaged in a street dis
turbance, two or three weeks ago The in
iured man, we are told, is still alive, but
in critical condition. His son, William,
who resides in Lehman, was sent for, and
went out to visit his father a few days af-
ter the affray. Mr.. Mink was attempting
to quell the disturbance when he was fired
upon.
The past week has been intensely warm
for this time Of the year, and Nature is
speedily donning her Spring apparel The
green grass is springing up rapidly, the
dainty flowers are decking the sward like
beautiful gems, the happy birds are trilling
their joyous melodies around about us, and
we are realiziug that poetic and heayenlike
period in the cycle of the year which poets
sing of, and in which the lover of the
good, the true, and the beautiful SO much
delights.
H. H. Sanderson, formerly of Dingman's
was in this locality, recently, and while
here ordered the frame, planking, boards,
etc, for large warehouse to be erected by
the Lewis Batting Company, at Walpole,
Mass. The lumber is to be furnished and
sawed at A. ID. Brown steam mill in Por.
ter township, and we believe, framed
there and then forwarded to its eastern des-
| tination. KIRo.

From Chas. A. Dana's address at
Cornell college.
And now let me finish with two
or three maxims which seem to me
of value to newspaper maker,
Never be a hurry.
l-Hold fast to the Constitution
Ill - Stand by the Stars and
Stripes. Above all, stand for Lib
erty, whatever happens.
IVA word that is not spokei
never does any mischief.
N--All the goodness of a good ev
cannot make up for the badness OF
bad one.
Wifi you find you have been
wrong don't fear to say 80.
There is tradition in some news
papers of the old school that you
must pretend TO a silly infallibility
and never admit you have been
wrong. That is a silly rule. If g
man has not the moral courage tc
say =" Yes, | was wrong, and | don I
now believe what l said at some
former time !" if he has not courage
to say that, he had better retire from
business and never try to make an
other newspaper.

The potato grower should not for
get that it is not a. crop that will car
ry over. There will likely be less
acreage planted, then should there
be a short crop the pendulum of
prices may swing to the other ex-
treme. The prices of the past year
were rather disheartening, but con-
ditions may be entirely different this
year. We shall plant our usual
acreage with that view of the situa-
ton.
