P. Mead lias contracted a thirty acre tract of hemlock and hard wood timber to Cole and Johns, which, added to other lands in their control, will furnish them occupation for several seasons to come. The Mead tract is near While's Valley. Judge Fuller and the two jury com missioners of Luzerne county have eliminated from the jury wheel the names of all persons who are known to have conscientious scruples against cap ital punishment. It is claimed that, as a result of this action, nearly two hun dred citizens who were drawn as jurors' in 1908 will not be summoned in 1909. The papers of the large cities are all right if you want them, but it is your own home paper that advertises your churches and societies, sympathizes with you in your afilictions and rejoices with von in vour prosperity.

Foot-and-mouth disease is fined to cattle nlone, but affects all am mills that have a cloven hoof, such as cows, hogs and sheep. Where the dis ease is epidemic, however, dogs, cats and pigeons are either condemned to death or put under quarantine to keep them from carrying the disease germs, and thus spreading the plague. At Lewisburgone poultry dealer who had bought up a car load of turkeys for the eastern markets was prohibited from shipping them for fear of conveying the disease to the cities. So far as known human beings are not affected by this disease. Capt. James Ham Circle, Ladies of the (5. A. R., at their regular monthly meeting of Friday last, elected the fol lowing officers for the ensuing year : President, Mrs. Win. Clnrk ; Senior Vice President, Mrs. I. H.

A committee was appointed to make arrangements for the annual supper and installation service in January, 1909. The social hour and refreshments were very much enjoyed by all present. Reetler & Coffin, a law firm of Eas ton, having presented to the Commis sioners of Monroe county their bill for counsel fees in procuring.a State bridge over Broadhead creek, it was refused pay ment on the claim that it was exorbitant. The attorneys then brought suit to re cover, aud asked for a change of venue on the ground that, they could- not secure a fair and impartial trial in Monroe. The case was then transferred to this county, but this arrangement also proving un satisfactory, it is now understood that the contention will be settled out of court. The rumor is revived that the Erie R., will w;ithin the next few years the terested during the year and do not find build a branch from Port Jervis to 1 in papers of large citjes.

The structure will be a splendid one, imposing in appearance and thoroughly up-to-date in all of its appointments. The recent lire at Belmont, which destroyed the large barn of J.T. O'Neill, on the Meredith place, was doubtless an incendiary one, and as a number of bones were found in the ruins, directly under the haymow, while no cattle were kept in the building, it is surmised that a tramp perished in the flames. It is suggested that the hobo probably took shelter in the barn for the night, and accidentally set the hay on tire by a spark from his pipe. At a regular communication of Haw ley Lodge, No. 305, F. & A. M., held Tuesday evening of last week, the fol lowing officers were elected for the en suing year : Frank J. F.

Residents in the southern section of Hazleton are suffering acutely because of lack of water. Some of the children were obliged to go to school with out having their faces washed, no water being available in their homes. It is claimed that the water company has plenty of water in its Hudsonville reser voirs but. refuses to turn it into the South Hazleton mains. The people are threatening to resort to legal measures. --Last Friday evening, J ames M. Thorpe Post, No. 195, G. A. R., of Hawlev, was I visited by Col.
