Does that make you feel good, Mr. Editor? It does me because you were so kind as to publish that other letter I sent you, and I like to hear good words spoken of a paper that I write for. The school marins' convention, that was held here a few weeks ago, was made an occasion for the display of many rare and magnificent instances' of hospitality by the citizens but as for display of social etiquette it did not quite come up to the Saratoga standard. Certain young ladies, delighting in the appellation of teacher, would have- set a much better example and been quite as much respected if they had refrained from whispering during some of the most interesting of the lectures and permitted those of us who wished to do so. One young lady, who is teaching on the Tunkhannock creek, made herself the centre of attraction, at one time, by her continued debate with another of less note, as to the name, residence, apparel and antecedents of all who came in.

On one occasion, during Prof. Harris' interesting lecture on the Art of Memory, she asked a lady, who was seated near her and to whom she was a stranger, what the name of a person was who came in. The lady, not knowing the person referred to and aware of the annoyance caused by whispering, did not reply except by a movement of the head, as much as to Say, "keep stilL" At this she turned to her companion, who by the way, was boarding With the lady, and made some remarks that if re ble hallooing some of those calling them corum must accompany these belong tion but it suits Blatherskite to throw dirt whenever he can and we scarcely wonder at any unfounded assertion we find in the columns of his paper.

Nevertheless consider there bisds altogether undesirable habitants in villages where our native song -birds build their nests and are earnest in.

our desire to correct the mistake which ascribes to them a degree of usefulness which they do not deserve. It is true that they feed upon insects when no other food is convenient," but they prefer seeds and such other edible material as can bo garnered in the streets. The chief objection to the sparrows, however, is their intolerance of birds of other species and their determined eftbrts to drive away all who attempt to locale near where they have located themselves. We once saw a flock of sparrows attack 'a parrot which had escaped from its cage and taken flight to a park. They drove it.squawking, from their domain and followed it with so much spirit and determination that it was glad to seek refuge in its cage.

A cocksparrow is wonderfully pugnacious, and robbins, blue birds, orioles, are driven out of villages, where Mr. Sparrow has established himself in short order. In our village the robbins are so tame that they hop about the streets, disputing tit-bits with the pigeons, and the blue-birds build their nests in the gardens. So no sparrows for us but their fecundity is marvellous and they are spreading all over the country, and we presume Tunk-hannock will not escape the infliction. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company held its annual meeting on Tuesday of last week, at which the report of Asa president, was read.

Like everything emanating from that intelligent railroad manager, it is brief and to the point. Frbm it we learn that its anthracite coal business for the year was 4,150,660 tons, against 4,144,340 tons to the same time in 1873, being an increase of 3,330 tons. In addition to this anthracite tonnage there was a bituminous tonnage of 26,622 tons.against 28,025 tons in 1873, a decrease of 1,404 tons, being a net increase of coal tonnage of 4,916 tons. The receipts from all sources, including interest from investments, net increase from coal lands were $7,336,767 operating expenses of the road, giving a net income of 3,865,349. While the receipts from all sources have fallen off 87,928, the operating expenses have been reduced 413,441, showing an increase of net income of 325,614 over that of 1873.

By April next it is expected the Lehigh Valley railroad will control an uninterrupted route to New York.

The orgin of fairs is commemorated in their German name Messen, which is derived from the word employed to denote the most solemn part of the church service.

It is better to be just than caustic about such little things, We seek to be well advised upon every topic with whjch we deal and are very far from indulging a desire for idle gossip or mere sensation. If, in our desire to serve our readers, we are sometimes imposed upon by false information, it is just what is likely to happen to any local journalist and, as the Gazette has, itself, suffered occasionally from the same cause, it should be a little chary about finding fault with its neighbors. A few days since we strolled into the marble works now owned by ex-Sheriff Comstock, and not finding any person about the premises concluded to look around and see what we could see. During our investigations we were not a little astonished at the admirable and really artistic taste displayed in the style of letters and ornamentation and the manner in which they were arranged. Too often an unskilled workman bungles with authography and uses periods and commas without knowing exactly why.

But Mr. Neal, the foreman of these works, is very careful to not permit anything offensive to good taste, and all his work shows that he is master of his business, having acquired a thorough knowledge of it, in all its details, in one of the finest establishments in Philadelphia so there is no need to go abroad for either elaborate or common work.
