TO REMOVE
CANAL BRIDGES

The Borough Council has not as yet
found a contractor to remove the can
al bridges in the Borough and to re
place them with stone culvcrts. Coun-
ell at its last meeting decided that
the bridges must come down yet the
present fall.
ID. a. Montgomery, chairman of the
Committee on Streets and Bridges.
yesterday stated that the Committee
is very anxious to act upon the order
or Council. but that it is deferred by
inability to find a contractor The
work, involved, especially as relates
to the construction of the culverts Will
be of very difficult nature and should
be placed in the hands of a person eX-
perienced in that line of work The
brisk times of the past summer have
put so many building operations on
foot that it has proven difficult to fine
contractor ready to bid on sucI
work.
Mr. Montgomery stated that there i
no doubt but that the bridges will b,
removed this fall. Should none OF oul
local builders be willing to undertak,
the contract the Committee will ad
vertise outside of town for bids.
meeting Of the Streets and Bridge
Committee was called for last nigh
that action might be taken in order t.
get the work under way.

IIInatic FOnght Hard,

While attempting to bring Charles
Rote to the Danville hospital for the
insane Ovcrseers of the Poor of Madi-
son township, Columbia county,
Charles Kramer and David Shultz,
were forced to put handouts on him
and then only succeeded in subduing
him after he had struck Kramer three
times, the last blow almost rendering
him unconscious Rote, who is about
80 years of age, has for years been
wandering both in his mind and his
habits, and during the last few weeks
he has been growing worse a pecu-
liarity Of his was that no matter where
he worked for the day-and no one
could induce him to work longer than
that Irugih of time-he would always
walk to the barn of Philip Young.
where lac would sleep. the fact that
hr was six or seven miles away from
the barn making no difference. If the
person for whom no was working
would prevail upon him to sleep there
that night, he would invariably get up
during the night and make his way
back TO tho Dung barn.

reads as follows:
Il am located about three miles
from Albuquerque on ranch called
the Mace Ranch " We have quite a

hundred to 800 yards apart This is a

or three months he is doing we'll. My
condition has changed considerably.
Among the patients here are some
from Reading and Allentown.
This is a hard country to live in,
as during the Gay there is a July sun,
while the nights are at least so degrees
cooler than during the day. The idea
is TO sit in the hot sun all day and &c
to bed in the cold with every thing
open to admit the air. 1t requires
great care to avoid taxing cold.
You can buy horses here for $40 tC

but if had one OF our Danville horse
men here we would 60 into the horse

October Raspberries.

\ large cluster of ripe raspberries
was left at this office day or so ago
By Mrs. Jacob Blohn, Valley township.
The berries, notwithstanding that
they have grown some three months
after the close Of the regular season
are of full size, luscious and fragrant
in odor
The present season during the last
few weeks has also produced several
fine specimens of strawberries in this
locality.
1t seems quite odd that these berries
should grow so readily out of season
and one is apt to wonder what mea-
sure of success would attend the eX-
pertinent if an effort were made to
grow straw berries aud raspberries in
