News Briefs: The bicycle fever is on in full force this spring. The person who does not ride a wheel is rather out of date. An exchange remarks that just now almost the entire world appears to be in a state of unrest. Insurrections, rebellions, antagonism to ruling powers, riots, strikes and numerous other forms of disquiet prevail. It would seem as though a belligerent spirit possessed mankind generally and in many cases it is manifesting itself in violent forms that forebode anything else rather than peace and good will.


Susquehanna County- The Prohibitionists of Susquehanna County will meet in convention at the Court House, in Montrose, May l9th, to nominate candidates for the following offices: Congressman, Prothonotary, Jury Commissioner, etc.
