~ ;dno of referring to American pro-
Roer manifestations when speaking at
RIO meeting of the Primrose league.
Moreover. these manifestations are pop !
nlarly regarded in England, thanks to
the cable dispatches of English corre-
sponlents as nothing but temporary
nfferycscence of political agitation IN q |
country on the verge of an election ana
as such of no serious import.
The dispute in the potteries trade now
involves 10000 men, many of whom be-
long to no union and are therefore de-
pendent upon charity. The manufactur-
ers insist upon closing down their works
rather than give in to the demands for
| increased wages. Meanwhile, as The
| Sneaker points out, there are already
| signs of pottery making in the United
| States being greatly stimulated, and If
| the dispute keeps up much longer Eng
| land will be in danger of losing her besi
customer by reason of the American
| notteries getting such grip that Enehsn
! goods will not be wanted.

made to organize corporation with a
capital OF 5000 to build stone bridge.
1t failed Three years later the Levy
Court ordered the building of chain
bridge like one at the Falls of the
Schuylkil. The first commission re-
fused to act and new ones were appoint
ed. This delayed the building. 1t was
begun in 1909, finished in 1910 and cost
$4,000.
In 1922 this chain bridge was swept
away by flood, and was replaced by a
wooden bridge costing about $4,000.
This wooden bridge was carried away by
flood in 1889, and was replaced by
''The Old Bridge" of the picture. This
old bridge was in use for forty-eight
years, and was replaced by the present
iron bridge in 1857.

observer, forcing those who know only,
in general way that the park is tuil OF
beautiful scenes, to realize that here at

Trying to Breed Poiled
Durham Cattle.

F. NJ. Nevin, who recently pur-
chased the Hess ranch some four
miles down the river from Sarato-
ga, had the misfortune to lose a
fine polled Angus heifer a few
days ago by wolves. Mr.. Nevin
has some very fine cattle, among
which are both red and black
polled Angus heifers, and a regis
tered Durham bull, which lat
ter cost S125. He is attempt
ing TO raise polled Durham cattle
by crossing full blooded. Durham
stock with pure Angus breed. and
it is a great misfortune to lose one.
as they are worth considerable
money. There were supposed to
be four wolves in the pack. Mr..
Nevin was in town the first of the
week to get William Turnbnll to
aid him in capturing the wolves
with his pack of hounds. The
people of that vicinity believe that
a litter of wolves were raised in
the fastness of Sheep Rock the
past summer, which is near Mrs.
Booths place, as a wolf had been
seen in that vicinity the past sum
mer and fall.
Mr.. NevIn is a lover of livestock
of all kinds. He has a pure breed
of Plymouth Rock chickens, also
Pekin ducks. One drake of the
latter species weighed a trIfie over
Is pounds on its arrival here re-
Gently from "A poultry farm in Hi
nois. Mr.. Nevin also intends to
engage in the business of raising
Belgian rabbits for market. They
are very prolific and + said to
raise "A number of broods in a sea
son. They grow to a large size,
are easily kept, as they live on
cabbage, alfalfa, and kindred gras-
SEES, and readily bring 80 cents
each in the market The Agricul-
tural Department at Washington
is authority for the statement
that two men, who purchased so
acres of land in Indiana not many
years ago, and went extensively
into business of raising Belgian
hares, scld $4,000 worth of them
IN one year.
Mr., Nevin's experiment in rails
ing fine cattle as well as poultry
and rabbits, will be watched with
great interest by all concerned in
the improvement of our breeds of
domestic animals and fowls.
