The Goodyears are preparing to test
a great contrivance at their Potter
county lumber operations. 1t is a ma
chine to cut down trees, peel bark and
cut logs 1t is owned by the New York
syndicate and when fastened to tree
will peel it from the ground to the
limbs, then cut down the tree and saw
it int logs. 1t is operated by an easily
movable power, and, owing to the close
ness to the ground which it cuts tree,
effects great saving in lumber. Brad

A writer in the jamestown Journal
says Asa Carr's people of Russell have
been troubled for a long time with
honey bees coming into their house
and lately they became so numerous
that Mr.. Carr concluded to investigate
and find their home. He removed
several of the weather boards on the
side of the house where he found an
immense lot of honey. We understand
that when it was all removed it weigh
ed 100 pounds. Surely it was a sweet
find
An exchange is moved to remark:
Among the most enterprising people in
every community are the merchants
and shopkeepers. They are always
ready to help every public enterprise to
the extent of their ability. When they
have money they invest it. Now, in
order to encourage enterprise and start
in the new century right, let every cit
izen arrange to pay all his old bills.
Economic a little if necessary; even
borrow little, if forced to do 80, but
by all means pay the bills that you owe
and lay the foundation for better times.
Two young people OF Jersey City,
desiring to marry and not having
enough money, have entered into an
agreement, which was duly drawn up
before Justice of the Peace, to con-
tribute weekly to the raising of fund
of $500. If in two years the sum shall
not have been completed the idea of
marriage is to be forever abandoned.
1t is provided that the woman is to con-
tribute $40 a week and the manonly
$5. This is not because his incidental
expenses will be greater than those of
the woman during the two years, but
because he is making only $40 a week,
while she makes $14.
The new game bill now before the
Legislature does not change the open
season in any particular, but cuts down
the number of pheasants, wild turkeys
and deer that may be taken any one
day or season by single hunter. No
person shall kill in single day more
than five pheasants, nor kill more than
two turkeys or one deer in one season.
Rabbits may be killed from the 18th
of October to the 18th of December, and
you may kill them any other time when
known to be destroying fruit trees or
vegetables on your premises. The law
continues to prohibit selling of pleas
ants, woodcock or quail, or shipment of
same out of the State. The reduction
in the number of pheasants that may
be taken in any one day to five is a
great Improvement on the old law, and
will have tendency to stop the work
of the game hog.-Ex.
The Punxsutawney Spirit treating on
human frailties says: People who have
small intelects like noise. Intellectual
people who have thoughts to think, and
enjoy thinking them, detest noise
Children and people who are almost
purely animal, enjoy hubbub and tur-
moil. A healthy imbecile likes to rattle
chain, pound with stick, or do any
thing to make a noise. Give him horn
to blow, drum to beat or bell to ring
and he will grin like a wood fox.
Bright little children will do the same.
What Josh Billings terms an ''ordinary
damphool," will whistle or sing, or beat
the DEVILS tattoo with his fingers to
keep his meagre intellect busv. Wealthy
