Hallstead - On Friday as train 11, on the Erie, was nearing Great Bend station, the engineer saw an old woman on the track. He whistled and put on air to stop, but as he got very near her another old woman rushed out of a house to save the other. Just as she reached her and put out her hand to grasp and pull her from the track the engine struck them, throwing them on the bank, killing both instantly. One was Mrs. Quick, sister of Oliver and Philo McDonald, of this place; the other was Mrs. Decker, of Great Bend. Mrs. Decker was buried on Sunday and Mrs. Quick on Monday. ALSO: All good people who want to help a good cause must come to the Fireman's Fair in May, for they are in need of more hose, and every dollar spent for them may return a hundred fold in case of fire. Everybody who comes is assured a good time and civil treatment by the fire ladies. Let everybody come from far and near. You will see as fine a fire engine or steamer as you may wish to see.

Susquehanna County - The trout season opens on Friday, April 15. As Friday is counted an unlucky day, we presume there will not be many of the speckled beauties hooked on that day.

So much common sense in high life is remarkable, and it will astonish many haughty American aristocrats. AND The Long Snow Storm: The longest snowstorm that ever was known in England, took place in the year 1614. It is recorded in the register of the parish of Wotton Gilbert, that it began on the 15th day of January and continued to snow every day until the 12th of March.
