some few will be unable to make any
at all owing to heavy losses,

Scarcely train pulled out of P.
j. Sunday afternoon for New York
city but that was boarded by sports

their places in the baggage car.

DIR. J. T. ROthrock, Forestry Com
missioner of Pa, has been in this
county recently and Monday was at
Milford. He proposes keeping q
strict watch on timber thieves and
will endeavor to protect the state
lands from fires, and to see that game
and fish laws are more carefully
observed. COnstables will do well to
exercise care in making their reports
to Court in future, for they may be
called ON to verify their want OF
knowledge regarding certain duties
which pertain in their office.
