lettville sends us very pretty postal
card picture of the snow fall on the night
OF Oct. 2S, 1910. The scene is on the main
street OF the Brooklyn side of the creek
Kellettville, and the snow laden trees on
the hill back of the village make rare
picture ofan October morning. John is
a success in his line and many of his
landscape photos will make valuable
mementoes In future years.
Pheasant continue to be reported
scarce, and scientists" are assigning all
sorts of reasons for the scarcity, even GO
ing so far as to say that this native bird
has taken on migratory habits and flown
to other parts. What ROT! The explana-
tion is very simple. Not one chick in
fifty that were hatched during the wet,
cold weather of May and June, lived or
came to maturity. This is amply proven
by the fact that, of the few birds that have
been taken by local hunters, not one has
been OF last springs Matching.

Word comes from Salamanca that at
the election held by the Seneca Indians
on the reservation at Versailles last week,
a fierce fight followed the fraternsl Bit
terness in the tribe which the balloting
has caused. Guns, axes and nearly every
conceivable weapon was employed in the
free -for-sll fight which took place near
the Council House at the four corners.
As result of the fight Quay Huff was

in the head; Peter Doxsatder was seri-
ously cut in the head with an axe; Chas.
Wilson was pounded almost beyond
recognition with a club; William Tall
chief had his nose broken; Gaylord Par

William Jones was beaten into insensi-
bility. Many others we're injured in the

fierce one while it lasted.
"A dearth of local news often leads to
murmurs on the part of those who prize

your neighbors, stole chickens. let your

paper should publish current street gos-
sip, or the hints and illusions of the best
society in the community, it would be
ostracized and the poor editor horse
whipped or burned at the stake. Think
a minute of the mean and low things you
say about your townsmen and your
neighbor and imagine how it would look
in print, Don't criticize the newspapers
for what they print, but give them great
credit for what they don't print. A news
paper that contains one half the nonsense
current about the best citizens would be
unfit to read.
Weather sharps are again busy pre-
dieting a hard winter. AS proof of
their prophecies they point to the fact
that wild bees have stored much honey,
and this is an iniallible sign of severe
winter. This is a reflection on the bees
habits of industry. Just as though the
average bee, being able to forecast the
weather conditions year ahead, would
loaf and Lounge around because OF the
