A bad break on the fourteen mile level
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, near
Four Locks, above Williamsport, occurred
on Saturday night last, and navigation
has been stopped until repairs can be made
The break consists of large hole
in the bottom of the canal and all efforts
to fill it up have failed. The water
rushed through the opening and found an
outlet through the tow path bank, empty
ing into the Potomac River below. The
last break in the canal was only short
distance east of this one.
Joseph F. Kimler, of Williamsport,
who recently leased sand pit on his farm
along the Potomac river, to Pennsylvania
capitalists, has discovered rich deposits OF
frebrick clay on his land, which he intends
to develop as soon as possible. He has
prepared eighteen different combinations
of the clay with other soil and will have
bricks burned to test them. 1t is thought
that the bricks will prove to be Of supe
rior quality for paving purposes Near
the deposit of clay the remains of an old
brick yard and fragments of handmade
brick were discovered.
The amount of business done on the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal at Williams
port, during the month of October was
greater than of any month in years. The
coal tonnage was 1854. 16 tons. The
miscellaneous tonnage was 573 tons, max
ing total of Is, 1880 tons for the
month, being an increase of over 5000
tons over the corresponding month Of last
year The receipts for the month were
81, 604. 20. The toll record shows that
159 boats arrived and IA boats cleared
the wharves during the month. Boating
will continue several weeks yet, or until
the weather threatens freeze-up.

Those who let cattle run at large are
responsible for all damages. People who
will insist upon turning their stock upon
the public roads to hustle for themselves
must bear in mind that they are response
BILE, under the law, for all the damage done
by stock running at large. 1t is a COM
mon occurrence for farmer to be Overrun
by cattle grazing upon the public roads.
Their wheat fields, their corn fields and
their gardens are trampled and much dam
age done. The people who turn their
COWS or horses or pigs out think the farmer
should keep his fences up or his gates
closed; they forget that there is no law
compelling the farmer to have an outside
fence, but there is law making the owner
Of cattle running at large liable for every
particle Of damage they may do. A
farmer can pen up the cattle, advertise
them and make the owner prove property
and pay charges before taking them away.
Now if the cattle should be penned up you
generally hear huge cry go up that the
poor man can t let his cattle out on the
roads. They never think of the damage
done to their neighbors by the cattle and
the outrage to have corn and wheat fields
destroyed simply that some lazy fellow may
have his COWS wandering all over the coun-
try seeking what they may devour. The
laws are fair and just to all; let all carry
out their part and there will be no need
for blue blazes ON the part Of any one

Frost Every Month in the Summer
of 1916.

Horace Greely, who was brought up as
lad on a New Hamphire farm, tells in
his ''Recollections of a Busy Life that
he well remembered the cold summer of
1916, when we rose on the Sth of June
to find the earth covered with good inch
of newly fallen snow-when there was
frost every month"; and corn did not fill till
October how the burrowing insects fed
and fattened on the plants, and how one
of his tasks was to kill the wire-worms
and grubs that anticipated dubious har-
vest 1t was his remembrance of the
hardships Of that year that went far to
make Horace printer and editor, instead
of farmer. All through the summer
agricultural laborers might be seen work
ing in the fields with mittens or gloves on
their hands, and sometimes overcoats on
their shoulders. In June there were
frosts at Philadelphia and in most of
Pennsylvania, which inflicted great de
struction on farm lands. But our farmers
esteemed themselves lucky when they
heard from New England how the snow
had fallen so deeply that sheep were lost
in it, and that Vermont farmer, after
having been missed for three days, was
finally found by his neighbors nearly life
less in snow drift.

Oehm's Acme Hall.

The onward march of apparently pro
gressive merchants, seems to tend rather
to exaggeration than to consistent truth IN
their announcements We are not IN
sympathy with such methods, and as the
recognized leaders in fashions, styles, quail
ity and reasonable prices, we feel that our
reputation, not of yesterday, but of years,
must count.
So in the following, we will strive to
illustrate this point.
