HON. HIRAM O. oLARK.

The sad intelligence comes to us
of the death of this estimable and
highly respected citizen of Newton,
New Jersey
Judge Clark on Saturday last in
company with some others went out
squirrel hunting, and in taking his
gun, which was muzzle loader
from the wagon 1t was in some man
ner accidentally discharged, the con-
tents entering his arm near the
wrist and passing up to the elbow,
severely lace1ating and tearing the
arteries. He was speedily conveyed
home and every attention given, but
the shock accompanied by great loss
of blood was too great and he died
Monday morning at O'Clock a. m
He was born in Sandyston some
sixty-fve years ago and grew up
there, removing in his early man.
hood to Newton where he has since
resided
His sterling qualities as an up
right, intelligent, honorable man
soon won for him a conspicuous
place among the citizens of his
adopted town and he has held many
offices of honor and trust. Mr..
Clark number of years ago was
a member of the assembly, was ap-
pointed judge and latterly was one
of the three commissioner selected
to place water system in Newton.
He was at one time also member
of the Board of Supervisors of Nor
ris Plains Asylum and at the time Of
his death a director in the Sussex
National Bank.
AS an official he was scrupulously
honest in management and conser-
vative in Judgment. A kind and
devoted husband, whole-souled and
generous in his associations, affable
and courteous in manner, and inter
esting and eloquent as a public
speaker.
His death will be greatly de
plored in that community, and his
wise and judicious counsels greatly
missed. He is survived by his
widow who was a daughter of Dr.
Roe, of Sussex, by a brother, Will
lam, of Sandyston, and two sisters
Lydia. wife of VIM. Hart, of New
ton, and Lanah, wife of Joseph w
Fisher, of Iowa.
The funeral took place yesterday
Thursday from his late residence.

Milford.

I love the little town that lies,
In peaceful bliss meath sunny skies
And rolling hills and mountains round,
Here natures choicest works abound.
Fertile fields are spread abroad,
Charming drives are quickly found
Falls cliffs, glens and lovely views,
Life, joy and health infuse.
Her people of all classes are,
The purse proud rich and lowly poor,
Brilliant sons and beauteous girls,
Here shrink not from the homeliest tolls
Not here is heard the rush of trnins,
Nor shrick of whistles or cries for aims
But In contented peaceful life,
We live In peace away from strife.
In summer when the city people come,
Seeking rest and pleasant home.
We feel the lively townish air
Waking us up with a brilliant glare.
But soon the scene is changed again,
The summer girl begins to wane
The autumn leaves begin to fall
Shedding glory over all.
The landscape with most charming tints
The silvery river with its lovely glints,
Framed in the hills glorious picture,
Such ms artists fain would capture.
Soon winter locks up every stream;
o then the skating, boyhoods dream,
And sleigh rides, give the season zest,
With pretty girls, ah there we're blest.
Vacation comes at Christmas time,
And wanderers return to dance and dine
The happy days glide swiftly by,
Too fast alas the moments fly.
The spring returns change takes place,
Milford resumes her sunny grace
The naples soon take on their sheen,
Arbutus blooms, the fields are green.
Her roads are paved with natures hand,
Her streams the finest I'm the land,
The wheelmans new found paradise;
The anglers dream Of trout that rise.
Oh Milford "1oveliest of the vale,'
Your joys abound and never fall
All who come here with loud proclaim
Assert that they'll return again.

bridge building and Repaira.

Luzerne county is building stone
instead of iron bridges. They are
not much more expensive originally
and where properly constructed with
slight repairs will last for ages.
The Conashaugh stone bridge built
in May 1858 by Solon Chaplin cost
$500 and the repairs in 38 years
have cost $500 or about 50. 33 per
year. A wooden bridge crossing the
Shohola creek in Blooming Grove
township at Lords Valley built in
1856 was rebuilt in 1872 and the re-
pairs since have cost $8257 The
combination bridge across the Wal
lenpaupac in Greene built in 1883
was rebuilt in 1895. The iron
bridges vary in cost of repairs de-
pending on amount of travel, etc
but the average cost of repairs per
year on seven iron bridges built in
1883 and 1890 and costing 81, ,347, 95
was 1851 or an average of about
81. .Ss per year. In other words the
iron bridges cost over ~ per cent
per year for repairs on the original
cost, and the stone bridge cost less
than "a per cent per year, and the
iron will eventually wear out while
stone will not.

John @. Wallace, of this Borough
has invented, and made application
for a patent on a device to prevent
a COW during the process of milking
from stepping in the pail. While it
has been considered trait of a good
COW to give full pail of milk and
then kick it over the design of this
arrangement is to avoid the latter
part of the test and preserve the
profits. The device is an attach
ment of a piece of tin fastened to the
ears of the pail, and projecting sew
eral inches above it, in shortan ex-
tension upward of the vessel so that
