"A sleek new locomotive for the Hick-
ory Valley railroad passed up the river
last Thursday. 1t was very handsome in
appearance, and bore the name of G. w.
Warden, in honor of the genial superin-
tendent of the railroad. The new engine
is of the standard gauge pattern, has
three drivers, and is considerably heavier
than any the company has had in oper-
alton. Business at Endeavor is becom-
ing moro brisk as the weather settles,
by-the-way, Messrs. Wheeler & Dusen-
bury having started their mills on the
night and day run last Monday, and it

crown, according to the Clarion JackSo-
nidn, which says: "Our famous hunter,
darkey Joe Thomas, recently bsgged an
other rare specimen. This time it was
of the fowl order. While lramping
through the woods near Hahn's mill in
Paint township he spied and shot a bird
whose wings measured fully six feet
from tip to tip. 1t was of pale blush
gray tint and to establish the name and
order of the specimen completely bam-
boozled the worthy hunter. Prothono-
tary A. b. Colner was appealed to and
decided very soon that the bird is what is
known as the "Blue Heron rare bird
in this section. Mr.. Collner purchased
the bird and will have it mounted"
