John Charleston, who Is farming the
big side.hill lot above Vine street, is
showing some great samples Of corn from
his patch. One stock measured over ten
feet from head to foot, and all of it has
monstrous ears, the finest that has been
raised hereabouls in years. But this is
not the way corn is turning out generally
in this section. It's scarcely worth mem
tioning, let alone harvesting.

The chestnut crop in this latitude is
almost complete failure, not ten per
cent. Of the regularly bearing trees hav.
ing any burs whatever, and those that
are making some pretent ons toward a
yield show up very poorly. The cold,
wet weather while the trees were in bios
som aud the burs forming had the effect
to stunt the growth and the early frosts
have done the rest. There will be no
chestnuts to speak of this year, barring
those that will come from the Democratic
stump speakers.

The State forestry reserve commits
sion has purchased 5000 acres of timber
land in Bedford county, which is consd-
cred the best deer range in Pennsylvania.

dry, to avoid forest fires, thus allowing

profit to the State, and TO better protect
the game and fish. A fish warden is to
be assigned to this new reservation.

Squirrels are fairly plenty in the sur
rounding woods, it is said, and some are
finding their way into the potpie if re-
ports are to be relied on. This is an in
fraction of the law, but law that pro-
tects one species of game till it gets out
of the country is in danger of being in
fracted to some extent, and while the true
sportsman will strictly abserve the law
himself he is not likely to tear his shirt
trying TO make others do so when ii con-
tains such a nonsensical provision as that
relating to the killing of squirrels. Very
generally the law as it relates TO other
species of game is respected.
