Rhiney Creek, Liberty Twp.- Quite a little excitement was created here one day last week, when Warren Fish's team, which he had left standing near his well, went racing up the road. They ran in at the open door of A.A. Fish's horse barn, where their owner caught them. No damage was done.

Montrose - Thomas L. Dolan and family have removed from Noxen to Montrose, Mr. Dolan having purchased the exchange Hotel from his brother, James, and assumed the proprietorship. He has been in the hotel business in that place for a number of years and is as near a model landlord as they make, having an excellent reputation as manager of a public house wherever known. Consideration, $8,500. AND The ladies of St. Mary's Catholic church took a very unique way of raising money to buy a carpet for their church by sending out a little poem, asking the recipient to give them in pennies just thrice the size of the shoe he wears. Accompanying the poem were little silken socks cut and made by the committee (Mrs. Ryan, Mrs. Becker, Mrs. Kelly and Miss Katheryn O'Neill) of different colors and sent out to all friends of the church. The returns are reported as good.

Harford - Our supervisors are getting ready to start the road machines or mud mixers, as they should be called. Our roads are getting worse and worse. What we need is more stones and less mud.

AND At Auburn Four Corners, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Grow left the house one day to do the milking, leaving a small child asleep in one of the rooms.

Mr. Deming says that he has had two years of very arduous work with inadequate remuneration and he intends to give some other citizen the opportunity to enjoy the "sinecure." Since the company refused to collect the taxes from its employees, the work of the collector in Forest City has been anything but a soft snap.

Susquehanna - M. J. Lannon has opened, in Hogan Block, one of the finest restaurants in this section of the country. The walls are covered with handsome and expensive paper, a new oaken floor has been laid and is covered with fine linoleum. The kitchen is a model in every respect and the furniture throughout is without cause for criticism.

The new restaurant is already patronized by the best of people and it is a rousing success. AND The death of Sister Mary Felicitas occurred at Mount Saint Mary's Seminary, Scranton.
