Sign Painters at Work.

A couple of very expert painters in
the employ of r. @. Maxwell Of Tren-
ton, N. j., arrived in this city yester-
day for the purpose of repainting the
large Coco Cola and other signs, which
occupy the sides of buildings and 9th
er large exposed surfaces.
The men began work on the side of
the Mansion house restaurant and SOON
had crowd of interested spectators.
Only slight alteration was made in
the lettering, the painters in the main
following old lines. The paint was
applied with wonderful rapidity with
no apparent attention to detail, yet
when the work was finished, it show
ed up all right and at least from
distance appeared artistic.
r. @. Maxwell does the work for the
advertisers by contract. The painters.
he employs, are evidently in a class by
themselves, who possess the ability Of
getting over an amazing amount OF
work in short time.

Grant Herring Will Speak.

Hon. Grant Herring will deliver the
address in this city on Decoration day
and Rev. l.. ID. Ulrich will preach the
memorial sermon on the Sunday pre-
ceding.
Beyond these two addresses no def
mite arrangements have been made
for Memorial day by Goodrich post,
No. %, G.. A. r. The members of the
memorial committee, whose duties
among other things will be to decorate
the soldiers graves, have not rs yet
all been appointed. Jacob G. Miller,
chairman, yesterday stated that fol-
lowing the custom of other places, this
year, in all probability some of the
Sons of Veterans will be given place
on the memorial committee. Before
many years the work of decorating the
graves and observing Memorial da Y
will devolve wholly ON the Sons of
Veterans and for the purpose of Civ
ing them practical lessons in the con-
duct of affairs and methods of decorat-
ing the graves it has been thought ad-
visable each year from now on to ap-
point on the memorial committee, with
the members of the post, a correspond
ing number of the Sons of Veterans.
Every effort will be made in the sew
eral weeks intervening to secure all
the customary features for Memorial
day. There will be the usual march
to the cemetery led by band or other
suitable music. Besides the veterans,
the Sons of Veterans and the woman S
relief corps the usual contingent of
school children bearing flags and flow
ers will be in line.
The news that Hon. Grant Herring
has consented to be the speaker of the
day will be received with great pleas
ure by the members of the post and
the large concourse of other citizens
who annually take in the Memorial
day address. Mr.. Herring has the rep
utation of being an able and patriotic
orator and he will no doubt do full
justice to the occasion. The memorial
address as usual will be delivered al
the cemetery during the afternoon.
The memorial sermon wi1 be de
livered by Rev. L. d. Ulrich at 10 :3(
o'clock Sunday, May 27th. Along witt

GREEDY HAWK
ATTACKS COW

A singular story comes from Toby
run hollow. which would seem to in
dictate that chicken hawk when hun
cry is likely to attack almost any kind
Of prey, which may even include a
COW.
On Friday evening, so the story runs
Mrs. Thomas Good Of Toby run, ac-
companied by her two small children,
went out in the meadow for the cows.
AS she approached she beheld con-
flict going on between one of the cows
and some object, which had fastened
itself upon the animals back. AS she
drew closer she discovered the object
to be large chicken hawk, which as
fast as dislodged would dart down
again upon the COW and inserting its
talons would claw the poor animal un-
mercifully, tearing pieces of flesh out
of her back. The COW meanwhile was
nearly frantic, but the best she could
do to defend herself was to throw her
horns around in an effort to drive off
the bird.
Mrs. Good few to the cows rescue,
but no sooner did the hawk leave the
COW than it sought to attack the chill
dren The situation was really becom-
ing desperate, when Mrs. Good seiz ed
a club and entered into a determined
combat with the bird The hawk find
ing itself worsted arose from the
ground. After circling around for
few moments it spied dog, which by
this time appeared on the scene. and
without any hesitancy darted down to
attack him. This bit of indiscretion
WAS the greedy birds undoing. Mrs.
Good bringing her club vigorously
into play succeeded in capturing the
hawk, which she dragged to the house
in triumph, placing it in cage for
safe keeping.
Mrs. Good then called her husband
and her father from another part of
the farm and told them of the occur
renee. The COW, which is a valuable
one, purchased from the Castle Grove
herd, was found to be badly clawed
and suffered very much from the ef-
fects

Large Shipment of Salmon.

The hearts of local fishermen were
made glad Tuesday by news receiv-
ed from the State department of fish
cries to the effect that on Friday a
large shipment of Susquehanna salmon
will be started on its way to Danville
for the purpose of stocking the north
branch at this place.
A number of our local Waltons,
among them Johnny Meyer, Harry Ell
lenbogen, NJ. II. Schram, Ralph Kis-
ner, Eugene Miles and William Lloyd,
have for some time past been working
with this end in view. A number of
large mouthed black bass fry were
placed in the river here year or so
ago and have thrived nicely. Susque
hanna salmon, wall eyed pike and pix
perch are all the same fish. They are
of most delicious flavor, gamy in the
extreme, furnishing the finest kind OF
sport to the experienced angler. They
are by no means as abundant as they
ought to be in the north branch and
the local anglers would like to see
them more plentiful.
The shipment, one of the largest ever
received in Danville, will leave the
hatchery at Erie on Friday and will
arrive here on the Z :07 a. m. D., L. &
W. train Saturday morning in charge
of special messenger. Notice of the
shipment Tuesday was receivedaby
several of the different men interested
in making application. They were re-
quested to reply to the department of
fisheries Immediately, giving assurance
whether or not they would be on hand
to receive the fish.

They Should Have 1t.

The Civic club of Bloomsbury has
inaugurated "A movement for the est
ablishment of market house in that
town. In the language of one of the
members of the club "Bloomsburg
curbstone market system is as ancient
as the hills and is nothing if not salts
factory" That was the view taken of
the Sunbury curbstone market, which
has been supplanted by a spacious
market house that is in every respect
satisfactory. accommodating a major
ity of the marketers while the overflow
constitutes large sized curbstone
market. Every progressive town should
have market house. e.-Sunbury Item.

A FREIGHT
CAR SMASHED

A slight freight wreck occurred on
the p. q r. railway just east Of the
station yesterday morning, which, al
though confined to one car, came very
near blocking the road for a while.
The accident occurred at 6 10 o'clock
just as north bound freight was ap-
poaching the station. An air hose
broke. which brought the cara gon-
dola-to a sudden stop. The train was
running at a good rate of speed and
the rear section under the momentum
bumped up against the disabled car
with force that nothing could with
stand The car broke in two. one half
piling up on the other half, the train,
still in motion. dragging the mass of
wreckage hundred feet or more.
The damage was confined principal
ly to the one car. which was pratical-
ly empty, containing only truck, con-
signed to W. +. Pascoe, at Shamokin.
The track, however, was effectively
blocked. The Z :58 passenger train, was
enabled to pass by taking the siding
and thus was delayed only some fif-
teen minutes. Meanwhile the wreck
crew was summoned from Catawissa
and before noon every trace Of the ac-
cident had been removed from the
track.
The car, reduced to mass of kind
ling wood, was thrown by the wreck
crew down over the embankment.
where during the day the wood work
was sawed up into small pieces and re-
moved. The iron work will go to the
scrap pile.

UNCOMFORTABLE COLD.

People who were looking for warm
er weather Tuesday ON arising yester-
day morning were surprised to find
temperature only a few degrees above
freezing. The day wore ON but there
was no relief. The sky was filled with
clouds so that even the genial effects
of the sun was denied humanity. The
cold was penetrating; everyone wore
an overcoat and even gloves would
have added to comfort.
After all, however, it was not so
cold as frequently occurs at this season
of the year. At Rush township at 80
O'Clock the mercury stood at 40 de-
grees at the Montour House, Danville,
it stood at 45 degrees at the same hour,
both temperatures being slightly above
the frost limit. At noon mercury
stood at A degrees in Danville.

At present there are eighty eight
prisoners confined in the Northumber

he can not give definite description
of the proposed dwelling beyond the
fact that it will be built with special
reference to the scenery, affording

TAX PAYERS ASSOCIATION.

A tax payers association, which has
become popular in many other towns,
is being advocated by some of our resi-
dents. Primarily such an organiza-
tion was intended to counteract tend
ancy toward extravaganza and to check
unwise legislation on the part of
councils but of late years it has done
good work in many towns such as
ours, where the local Legislative assem-
bly, is not open to any such charge, by
acting in harmony and cooperating
with council If the latter body is to
represent the tax payers, it is reason
ed, it can not be better assisted in this
relation than by the tax payers them
selves. who by organizing and looking
carefully after their own interests, will
be able to suggest many things to
council. which will be for the good of
the municipality.

THE AMERICAN HEN.

All praise to the great American
hen as money producer, in food
flesh and eggs-she has no equal, and
the only fault that we can find with
her is that she refuses to lay eggs in
cold weather and thereby allows the
gambler in her products to squeeze the
public. If the hen would even up her
egg laying, there would be NJ cold
storage or stale product. Last winter,
due to the mild weather, the hen did
fine, but she caused the wrath of the
cornerers of the food products by leav-
ing millions of cold storage eggs on
their hands, to be sold at tremen-
dous loss
On Thursday of last week there were
received in New York City over 40, 600
cases of eggs, containing 10, 1876, 600
white ovals, with a value of $3.50, 900.
Most of these eggs went into cold stor
age, to be sold as strictly fresh"
next winter. The secretary of agri
culture reports that last year the eggs
of the United States were worth more
than the cotton or wheat, more than
all the potatoes. the barley, the tobac-
CO, the sugar cane and the rice. They
almost equal the dairy product and are
surpassed only by the corn crop, good
part of which is fed to the hens. The
Congressional Record says that every
three months the American hen pro-
duces more wealth than the capital
stock of all the banks in the New
York clearing house. In two months
she lays more value than the annual
production of all the gold mines in
the United States. Her eggs for six
months are worth more than the years
production of pig iron. In less than
two years the American hen could pay
off the debt of the United States.
Notwithstanding the money to be
made from poultry, there is demand
far beyond the supply. Even at six
teen to eighteen cents a pound it is
difficult, if not impossible to obtain
poultry in the market, only at certain
seasons of the year, and on one or two
days of the week.
There is great opportunity for pay
ing chicken farms in the vicinity of
towns or cities of any size.

OUTSIDE THE BOROUGH.

Residents of Bloom road just outside
the borough have troubles of their own.
The pleasant suburb partakes of the
general characteristics of town life,
but unfortunately the residents are
without police protection. As con-
sequence there are many annoyances
and mild forms of disorder, which
would not be tolerated in the borough
limits, but which the suburbans have
to tolerate. The township constable
is hardly expected to be as ubiquitous
as the town policeman. Boisterous and
mischief loving boys and young men
who would not be permitted to whoop
it up in the borough, in view of the
conditions simply cross the line out in
to the township, where they annoy the
residents very much, often rendering
sleep we'll nigh impossible. A we'll
known resident of the township yes
terday stated that the nuisance exists
from year to year. During the winter
season there is let up, but with the
return of spring every night brings the
usual serenade. At present things are
at their worst. The matter is referred
to the township authorities.
