very impolite. Three or four ours
that evidently have no home or
masters, and they seem to take great
delight in standing by our coal pile

their impolitness we will endeavor to
find means to teach them that we a.
lone have occasion to howl over the
remains of our last winters coal pile.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says in
recent issue:
Members of the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds are of opinion
that all the bridges that the State is
asked to rebuild by reason of the de-
struction of the original structure by
floods and ice, will not he built. In
Susquehanna county recently the
commissioners asked the Dauphin
County Courts to appoint viewers
for bridge over. the Susquehanna
river between Great Bend and Hal
stead. The viewers were appointed
and waited several weeks for the
county commissioners to fix time
when they should be on the spot
and view the site for the new bridge.
The commissioners, however, aban-
doned their intention to have the
state erect a bridge, and have decid
ed to patch up an old bridge which
has been doing business for almost
half a century. An effort will be
made by the the next Legislature
to amend the act compelling the
State to bear the entire cost of re-
structing bridges swept away by
high water and to put half the cost
of erection on the county.
Every town has among its people:
A liar.
a sponger.
A smart Alec.
A weather prophet.
A girl who giggles.
