Lyman 0 Harvey and Miss Etta Dent, both of near Sonestown, were married last week. We wish the young couple a happy and prosper ous future. What interests the Towandians— the new bar recently placed in the Ward house. Nothing but the at traction of the bar calls the news paper men there. Those of our subscribers who change their post office address this spring, should promptly notify us of the change which will avoid delay and annoyance. The stage drivers take consider able interest in the condition of the roads. Just at present they are doing considerable growling, but that don't improve the roads any. Edmund A. Bigler, the Demo cratic candidate for State Treasurer last fall, declares there can bo to much harmony in the party, and ho wants to see a contest for the nom ination for Governor. At a wedding at Lancaster on Sun day last, the groom was presented with a cemetery lot by his father. For full particulars of the recent murder of J. W. Wilcox near the old Wilcox hotel property, 011 the S. L. & S., R. K., in Bradford coun tj', read our communication of Du shore. A. C.

Little of No 'dniont has leased his farm in LaPorte twp., to Monroe Speary for a period of one year. Mr. Speary will move on the same shortly and will take to him. self a Letter half, that is, ruuiore (plots it so. if the investigation of the munici pal government of New York keeps 011 at the present rate of progress, a considerate number of Tammany. Hall will bi either in jail or out 0:1 j bail. Still this is 110 new experience j for the veterans of that organization, j The proper olli Mais of Towanda made a raid 011 the poker dens of said place last week and played havoc withtljem. Several occupants of the buildii gs were arrested and were compelled to give bail for their appearance at the next term of the Bradford county court. Tile mild winter has been pro ductive of more business failures than any other sinp-le cause. Goods that amount to millions in cash are 011 the hands of dealers. With the usual winter weather they would have been sold. Immense stocks will have to be "carried over," and the end is not yet. W. H. Pierce the obliging and trustworth clerk of the LaPorte Hotel, was calling 011 friends in the Western part of the county, 011 j Saturday and Sunday last. It is j reported that Will's frequent visits; to this section of the county is pure-, ly of a business nature and that, as ] some people would have it, 110 fair damsel is the attraction. The Dushore school board should j visit LaPorte before coming to aj conclusion how the interior of their: new school house shall be arranged)] and get the latest design. No use; going out of the county for "style.'"; LaPorte has the plan and foundation laid foi the neatest and handsomestj large school house in seven coun ties. The Hungarians are leaving the coal regions in droves every week, to the gratification of the native miners, and the citizens in general. Many of the Huns are going back to their native country, while many others are going to the far west. It is to be hoped that they will not re turn to this state again. The ball to be given in the Odd Fellows Hall at LaPorte 011 the evening of April 7th, bids fair to be a gala occasion and the party of the season. The music which we gave last week, engaged for the evening's entertainment is proof that the affair will be a success in the extreme. For further particulars see hand bill. County Superintendent, M. R. Black of Fcrksville, we understand, is a candidate for re-election to said office, in Ma}-. Prof. Black has proved himself to be an ex~ cellent instructor and merits a sec ond term which is only customary in our county. At this date Mr. B. is the only candidate mentioned for the honors. / Two law suits were tried before I Magistrate, W. C. Mason of La | Porte, on Monday. Mrs. llenry Kohensparger of La Porte twp., while in the act of going down stairs at her residence, slipped and fell and broke her right arm I above the elbow, on Monday. Mrs. K. some years ago, at different times, fell and broke both legs and her left arm. The fall on Monday broke her only well limb of lier body. She is well advanced in years and has the sympathy of her many friends in her sad misfortunes. W. C. Mason and \V. T. Watrous of LaPorte, were telephoned by the W. & N. B. officials, on Saturday, to come to Hnghesville on Tuesday April Ist and bring with them the map of the old survey of the rail road to Dohm's Summit. It is be | lieve'd by those who have some I knowledge of the future proceedings of this corporation, that work will resume very shortly at this end of the line. > One of the most extraordinary in. eidents of the high license system in this State is the work of the Jiulgcs in Perry county, who granted licen ses to all applicants, including one ofthe.ludges himself. The spec tacle of a tavern-keeper on the bench is made possible by the ab suid law which allows "lay Judges," who are often stupid and ignorant, to take part in the proceedings of such courts. On Sunday a stranger was noticed standing in front of the new Read ing passenger station carefully view ing that structure over. When asked what lie thought of the magni ficent (?) building, he replied • '"I am in search of a new design for next season's umbrellas and sun shades, aud was told to visit this place and inspect the Reading's new passenger station."— Milton liccord WASHINGTON, March 31. —The House to-day passed the Army Ap propriation bill. The Senate to-day by a vote of 42 to 13 passed the Dependent Pension bill. Plumb's amendment, remov ing limitations as to arrears of pen sions, and making pensions on ac count of wounds or injuries or dis ease commence from the death or j discharge of the soldier, was re jected, as was also his amendment! peoviding a pension of $8 per month to ail v ho served ninety days in the j late war, and who are now G2 years old or as they attain that age. The assessment for 181)0 will now soon be made—the month of April being the tiiue in which the work must be done. The assessors this year will have extra work to per form because of this being census year. For statistical purposes it will be necessary to designate every voter, whether colored or white. Then under the act of May 15th, 1889, an fi.ssessment will have to be made of all dogs. This will be hard to do and will necessitate the carry ing of a shOoting-iron, we suppose, as wherever a dog is found and no man claims him, he is to be killed. This will be hard on tiio dogs but a joy to the traveler. List of Grand Jurors Drawn for May Term 1890, John 11. Farrell, S. K. Mcßride, Geo. Brown, D. M. Speary, Geo.

It strikes us that the Non Partisan paper published in Sullivan county is receiving a goodly share of legal advertising. We do not complain, however, but we think it would only be just and right that the political papers have the preference of the county officials in dealing out such legal advertising as only app"ar in two papers, but when it is possible to arrange for three, then all should be included. The present system was adopted by Democratic office holders and of course Republicans were not slow to follow suit. The result is positively proven, that the Non Partisan paper is receiving a large percentage of legal advertis ing for keeping "mum" during the eve of election. It our county of ficials believe this to be proper and right they differ very much from the majority of sentiment of the county tax payers. Last fall a case was tried before Judge Connolly in Scranton, in which a man was charged with stop ping a lad on the highway and goiifg through his pockets, robbing him of all he possessed. It was, shown in defense that the lad was half-witted, and that his los s was limited to a chew of tobacco, his sole posses sion. The judge declined to con sider these as migating circum stances, arguing that a half-wit was as much entitled to protection as a more favored individual, and the thief took only a chew of tobacco because there was nothing else to take. He therefore imposed sentence for highway robbery—two years iu the penitentiary. The Supreme Court has reversed the decision, ': declaring the sentence an excessive i one for the mere larceny of a chew of tobacco. Quay is Back. Yes, Senator Quay is back, and the Democratic papers frotn one end of the State to the other that so earnestly professed to believe that he was tired of the United States Senate and would become the Re publican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, have with one accord concluded that he will not retire from the Senate and become a can didate for Governor. It is a pit}' that Senator Quay should have com pleted hi? excursion in the South and made his appearance at W ash ington so soon after the organs hit | upon the idea of retiring him from the Senate and rumiiug him for Governor. However, now that the story that promised so much fruit for sensational editorials, columns of breezy suggestions on his probable successor, and a hundred other possibilities, has been spoiled by the Senator's arrival in Washington, the organs in one breath renew the howl that if he is not the candidate for Governor he will name the man. 1.
