Figures Concerning Weasles and Minks.

Figures Concerning Weasles and Minks.
The records at the court house show
that since the law relating to uoxious
animals went into effect Montour
county has paid for fifty-fve weasles
and one mink.
The first pelt was brought i'll on
June Goth so that the entire number
of noxious little animals on the list
were slaughtered in little over month
1t is very good riddance, as all will
agree. although it has cost the county
a trihe over half a hundred dollars.
The success achieved by the anna
teur trappers in the short time Rove
mentioned suggests that weasles must
be very plentiful in the rural sections
if not in some parts of town, and that
the full extent of their depredations
on the hen roosts would be hard to
estimate. Judging by the weasles eX-
terminated in little over month the
number killed off in the course of a
year will run into hundreds, necessi-
tating,a a one dollar pelt, the outlay
of very large sum of money.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustschian Tube. When this tube is
inaamed you have rumbliDg sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

A decided sensation was created ct

terday, when Rev. @. Ernest Smith,
ID. d., rector of st. Thomas Church,
read bis report on 1.-The State OF the
Church." arraiguipg Sunday golf, riding
and driving. dinner parties, and recep-
tons as the causes for the falling of in
attendance, contributions, communicates
and general interest in church matters.
Following are extracts from the report:
Many Of our most prominent citizens
are only occasionally sen at church,
others, never.
Nowadays a man can stand on the
topmost rung OF the ladder social and
political, and be at the same time out OF
all church life.
Sunday is probably worse kept in
Washington than in any other city OF
the East.
Nowhere else, SO far as we know, is
tucfo puCu ldmcuthUtC uCticOt Va "
spect due to the pastoral Office of the
clergy as here.
With the best intentions in the world,
physicians often forbid pastors to see
their patients. What wonder that nov
comes Christian Science, so-called, and
forLids the physician himself to see the
sick
Sunday, throughout a large part of
Washington, is neither day OF rest nor
of religious observance.
Among our more interested brethren
there is widespread attitude of dis
loyalty toward those rules of the church
which for centuries have been observed
by the faithful.
Is there another diocese, with the
wealth in its peoples hands, which can
say its income for one year, for all pur-
poses, from all churches, was only $780,
343 90?
