The larger first-class postofii ces being
swamped with mail in the holiday season
the department has issued an order to the
effect that all post caIds-that is picture
and season cards-that are sent through
the mail in such large numbers during
the last few years are to be separated from
the regular first class mail, which include
letters and government post cards, so that
the legitimate first-class and other mail
will be handled as 1t comes. This means
that picture cards are laid to one side
until the Christmas rush is over, so it
will be we'll If anyone wishes to say any
thing of importance that legitimate post
card be used or better still letter be
written, which will obviate many COM
plants OF broken engagements on account
of the "card that never came" on time.
"A fine doe deer, knowing that the
majesty of the law protected her from all
harm from the man behind the gun, came
into town last Saturday afternoon and
for nearly an hour was quietly grazing in
the Robinson fields back OF the borough
school building. The animal, which was
very fine specimen of its kind, was first
seen by Henry Grubbs on the German
Hill road, about three o'clock, where it
had just jumped the fence, coming from
the Haslet pasture field. About four
o'clock it was seen in the Robinson field
by Mrs. Aronson and Fred Glsssner, the
lady mistaking 1t for a calf until she saw
it jump nimbly over the fence. The ami
NAL disappeared in the woods back of the
fields. Tho lack of snow the last few
days of the open season has been very
favorable 10 the deer and we hear of only
one being killed in this vicinity.
Among the very handsome and inter-
esting publications that have reached this
office Of late is special edition of the
Franklin Repository, published at the
historic and bustling little city of Cham
bersburg, Pa. This edition is in the form
of a magazine, covering 32 pages, and ex-
ploits in very entertaining manner the
In, ,lnp tal q hn do aka nif fxy
which it represents. Chambersburg is
one of Pennsylvania oldest towns, and
yet one of its most progressive and
beautiful, and this effort upon the part of
the enterprising editor and proprietor of
the Repository, Hon. A. Nevin Pomeroy,
to give the outside world peep into the
inner life of the beautiful city is most
praiseworthy, and no doubt greatly ap-
precisted by his large constituency, as it
should be. AS work of the printer art
this magazine takes rank among the very
first.
The hunting season for all game, ex-
cepting rabbits and bear, closed yester-
day, and we'll it did, for the slaughter has
been fierce and merciless, especially as to
pheasants. The "hogging" has not been
carried on by our local sports, be 1t said
to their credit, but by the hordes of for
eign hunters who invaded the land much
as band of Modoc Indians might have
done in western frontier days. 1t is es-
timated that not less than a thousand
pheassnts were carried away from here
and at Hickory by outside hunters, hail
ing mostly from Pittsburg and vicinity.
No amount of legislative enactment could
afford protection to game under such on
slaughts, which mean nothing short of
complete determination. We have an
idea that many of these 'game hogs" will
find the onimous "no trespassing" signs
staring them in the face when they return
at another season to begin their swineish
work.
The Northwestern Anti-Tuberculosis
League has charge of the distributing of
the Red Cross Stamps, in Tionesta, in
fact, in the several counties, in which
they are working. The Northwestern
Anti-Tuberculosis League was organized
in Bradford recently, to fight consump-
tion in Northwestern Pennsylvania, and
are under the wing of the Pennsylvania
and National Societies. A largo number
of members have already been received
from Mexican County, and it is the in-
tention to canvass each of the Northwest
ern counties for memberships al S. a
year. At the Sanatorium, at bells Camp
are already seven patients and 1t is hoped
that by next fall thirty or forty patients
will be cared for. Patients are taken at
So week, which is about one-half the
cost of keeping. The difference 1t is
hoped will be made up by memberships
and donations. This institution offers a
place for consumptives to take cure with
out going so far from home. and at a
small cost to the citizen who joins. Any
one anxious to become identified can
send S. to Mrs. Kate 1. Berry, Treasurer,
Bradford, Pa, or write to NJ. f. Melvin,
for information.
Some of the 'keep off" notices posted
by land owners throughout this section
are decidedly interesting, both as works
of art and as specimens of remarkable
photographed contortions. And many
of them are just about as useful, for the
purpose intended, as they are ornamental.
The posting of these notices is largely in
the nature ofa bluff, on the part of the
farmers, but some of them, who think
they mean business, in reality know little
