More fruit trees will be planted this
year in Pennsylvania than probably in
any previ' us year in the States history.
Secretary Of Agriculture Hamilton says
that Pennsylvania is the best State in the
Union for fruit growing. Even Califor-
mia does not grow as good fruit as PEN
nsylvania, although the fruit growers of
the former State give more attention to
the shipment of fruit than those Of this
State. Mr.. Hamilton also says that the

Nathan l.. Atwood, well known
| figure in this section in the days of
reenbacksm 81 or 25 years ago, died in
a hospital at Eric on the 3lst ult. nom
the effects of an operation for bowel
trouble. His remains were buried at
| Howard, Center county, where he made
his home. He was eyed 81 years, and
was a man of more than ordinary brill
fancy, but was peculiar in the respect
that with all of his talents he could not
confine himself to any particular voca-
tion. From the management and oper-
alton of a foundry he became a lawyer,
then preacher in the Disciple church,
and in the later years his life devoted
much of his time to politics.
A Kelletiville friend gives an account

ing their youngest son Harry. and the
bride Miss Matte lite, of Clarington, Pa.

and Mr.. Will Stover ac ed as best man.
The house was tastefully decorated with
evergreens and white ro es, and the
bride carried a bouquet or carnations.
The guests partook of an elegant wedding
dinner at the conclusion of tie pretty
ceremony, after which all joined in wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Shaw prosperous and
happy married life. Many beautiful as
well as useful presents were left with the
happy couple as mementoes of the pleas
ant event.
Seventeen foxes out of one nest is
big lot, but such is the record d-breaking
achievement of James Burns and friend
one day last week. The catch was made
near Dawson run, dog having hoed
one of the old ones and the men, who
weren't hunting foxes, undertook the
job of digging him out. When the bot
tom was reached the sight that met their
gaze was one to make their eyes bulge

and fifteen young whelps. All in heap.
They had no way of fsecuring the old ones
so had to kill them but the little fellows
were all taken alive. They brought the
two litters to town and readily disposed
of them at dollar a head, the amount of
bounty, and about every other family in
town now has pet. The cunning little
chaps take very kindly to the bottle, by
which means most of them are being
sustained. though some are cared for in
a kindly manner by the family cat.
From this month on the cloth moth
begins to make its appearance, deposit
ing its eggs in fur and all kinds of wool
en- materials, and often in crevices in
doors, closets and boxes. 1t always seeks
quiet, dark places. Closets, drawers and
boxes should be cleaned now. Take spec
ial pains to clean thoroughly each crack
and groove. Buy at the druggists a few
ounces of the oil of red cedar. With
small brush, such as artists use, apply
the oil of cedar to all cracks aud grooves
in boxes and drawers, and to the tops of
doors aud baseboards in closets, also !
around the edges of the floors. Use very !
little of the oil. There must not be
enough to soil anything that comes in
contact with the treated surface. This
treatment will make closets. boxes, etc,
moth-prooi for some time, and ii closed
at once the contents will be perfectly safe
through the summer and fall.-April !
