II the brindle COW shoul got out

half tho night looking for her, but let
u twelve-year- old son fail to show up
and the parents retire for the night
without an anxious thought. We dare
not be hopeful over the future of the

The notice given by C)ustabie Can
avau OF his Intention to strictly entorcN
tue borough ordinance relating to the
muzzling of dogs after the 3Oth OF July
appears to be pretty generally complied
with, if the flimsy leather bands orna
menting tho poses Of m auv curs OF high
and low degree, can propsrly be called
muzzles. In caso Of vicious dog, they
would be entirely worthless as protec-
ton against his bite. fact which has
b,el recognized By the town council Of
Wellsboro, Tioga county, who last week
adopted o resolution doing away with
the strap muzzle, and providing that
The only muzzle that will hereafter b,
cec1gniEed as lawful under the borough
ordinances must be made of wire, and
constructed 80 as to pass around tn
mouth Of the dog and over the end OF
his nose.

An exchange says that the famous
5iarucca viaduct which spans tho
jsarucca cresk and valley at Lanes
boro. 5usquehanna county, is one of the
IN Dat noted structures of historic inter
est along the line of the Erie railroad.
The bridge ia one of massive grandeur
And symmetry, with its eighteen great
Arches, supported upon nineteen piers
OF solid masonry, one hundred and ten
feet in height and extending across the
valley and stream distance of twelve
hundred feet. Tho cost of this immense
structure was about 1880, 900, and a
sm Ill army of mon we're employed in
its construction for about two years.
The entire work was under the super
vision OF Mr.. Ktrkwood. O 5cotchm,n,
William Heavey, who later became
resident OF Silver Lake, and Mr.. Bird,
also Stotchmsn each were foremen
OF different sections OF the masonry,
years resident OF Bach Lake, had tho
c1nsract for the building Of the false
work for the arches. The piers, which
are built upon q solid foundation, OK
tending twelve feet under ground, have
s.ood the test OF the heavy freight and
passenger traffic Of the Erie for six de-
cades and unless some unforeseen revul-
sion OF nature should occur, will stand
for ages to come.

received by DR.. Surface, and like Oliver
Twist, his steady cry is for more" He

10 eliminate the scale. and his investiga.
tlons into snakes and reptiles, to say
nothing OF the insect world, have made
him one of the best known of the State
officials. His mail lately has assumed
terrifying proportions 10 more ways
