Prospectors Return From Eastern Trip.

Josiah Davisson and Janies Whited, who had accompanied the Rensselaer prospecting party to New York state the Sunday previous, returned home Saturday. They left the rest of the party at Jamestown, N. Y., and went over in Pennsylvania -to look at some country there, returning home from the latter place by rail. The ptfrty expected to reach Jamestown Tuesday, but got off on some bad road and encountered rain, “ which delayed them until Wednes- ♦ day in reaching the Chautauqua Lake country. Josiah said they were surprised to find that no killing frost had fallen east of Cleveland, 0., and the vegetation was still green. The rest of the party arrived home Monday night.. They did not get about as much as intended and got no further than Jamestown. While they were not a great distance from John M. Knapp, they did not get to go and see him nor Clyde Reeve of near Masonville, Deleware county. Max Kepner, whose second trip this was to that section of the country, is considerably taken up with the country and expects to locate there in the , spring, although he has not bargained for anything definitely as yet. ■ , '
