1t wouldn't be bad idea, in fact il
would be very good idea-if the side
walk committee of the borough would
make a tour Of inspection of the walks
in town. A hole in the sidewalk is a bad
thing to get into, not only for the unfor-
tunate person who gets into it, but some
times for the taxpayers, as our authori-
ties will find out some of these days.

There is great demand for buck.
wheat throughout Mercer county. Fol
the past few weeks spectators and own
ers of Touring mills have been going
through the county quietly buying W
the crop of buckwheat in the field anC
paying the farmers one-half of the value
of the grain cash down, offering to pay
the present market value when the croI
is harvested and measured. The farmers
take this as an indication that thu
price will be high this year, and thos,
who have not already sold are driving
some sharp bargains.
Referring to fool story that ha,
been generally circulated in this section
and that had excited more people, accord.
| ingly, than did the firing on Fort Sump
ter in '6l, the Clarion JdckSonidn says :
'The campaign and fish story liar hai
| been completely knocked out by the mis-
erable contortion of the truth that ha
been travelling over the country for tn,

the story does not seem to be known and
the reason for telling such story woulc
be hard to find. 1t is enough TO say ther
is no truth in it whatever"

harness. AS soon as the discovery of th

that place started in pursuit of the thiei
They tracked the rig to the vicinity G
Tylersburg where further tracing wa
impossible owing to the travel and inter
ference of other vehicles obliterating tn
stolen rigs tracks. Here the pursuin
party separated, each taking different di
rections, bnt at last accounts no captur
had been made, and it is probable ths
the thief or thieves have made good thei
escape with their booty. Thefts of thi
kind are becoming so frequent of lat
that it seems some systematic Organizs
tion for breaking up the gang which
working at it, should be speedily devised
and the perpetrators brought TO bay.
