many OF the owners Of last horses and
sleiglls retired Thursday night expecting
to have fine sport Friday. But imagine
their surprise when they looked out Fri
day morning-their hopes had vanished,
the rain had spoiled their prospects.
The nurserymen and peach growers are
very much concerned as to the peach
crop, as during the warm weather peach
buds began to swell and the sap to run.
This state at this time Of the year is
without precedence and the fruit growers
say is fraught and the gravest danger, as
the sudden cold weather may ruin the
peach crop.
Unless the ground hog was blind when
he emerged from his winter snooze
Friday, he assuredly saw his shadow
and according to tradition he must have
climbed back into his nest there to sleep
for six more weeks. And, further, II tra-
dition be correct, We mortals are in for
six more weeks OF winter weather before
We hear the blue birds song or the bull
frogs melodious chorus.
Through his counsel, Edwin R. Coch-

Newspapers will not be sold on the
Pennsylvania Railroad hereafter. The
anti-pass order issued by President Cassatt
has been interpreted by the management
to include the newsboy who has been
accustomed to sell his papers on the
through and suburban trains. They rode
on passes provided the Union News Com
pany by the railroad company under a
general contract. Mr.. Cassatt's order
precluded giving out any form of free
transportation to other than employees,
and the train newsb"y was driven out of
business
The people of Middletown will be
pleased to learn of the shirt factory resum-
ing operation in the near future. Mr. Char
les II. CroweIl, of Philadelphia, has leased
the building on East Anderson street, and
the machinery will be here in few days
for an up-to-date plant. We are reliably
informed that 40 operators have already
been secured and if the factory is properly
managed and the employees paid fair
wages, the management will have little
trouble in getting all the operators desired.
The plant has been idle for the past three
months.
One of the distinguishing features of
the New Crinnian Comedy is its decided
class. ''The Troubles Of Eight Twins
which plays an engagement at the Middle
town Opera House February 18th is COM
promise between comedy and farce. 1t
borders on the latter by reason of it's
clever, up.to-date comedy music. ''The
Troubles OF Eight twins is composed of
hits which have been made possible by
Manager Crinnian's wonderful ability to
compose; and he does not believe in fair
success, and stroye for the best or what
the public wantde, and as consequences
each and every scene is laugh from be-
ginning to end. The public will be the
loser if it fails to attend the performance

Renters Of property in this section who
have been notified by their respective
landlords to vacate on March 25 next and
peacefully give up possession Of the prem
ises are in quandary as to steps to take
as moving day" this year falls on Sunday.
There appears to be no section in the law
bearing on Sunday moving, the only point
which may possibly cover such action is
a clause forbidding the doing of any work
on the Sabbath that is unnecessary or is
not the work Of charity" 1t is not pro-
bable, however, that tenants who are re-
quired to move on any day either nec-
essary work OF. work of charity. Land
lords who have notified their tenants to
leave do not contemplate compelling
them to move on Saturday nor on Sunday
but will demand possession as early as pos
sible on the morning of the Goth.
