At present she is much better, however. The man who wuistles all the time is generally of a cheerful dis position himself, but lie makes the whole neighborhood sad. Auditors, W. 0. Mason and J.' W. Flynn of LaPorte borough, were Engaged in looking up the liabilities" and resources of LaPorte, on Mon day. Several of the legislators of Louis iana, last week, while defending the lottery bill, said that the criticism of the Northern newspapers was not worth noticing. The new road leading from La- Porte to Lake Mokohia, was damaged Considerable by the rains of last week. We are informed that they will be repaired at once. The LaPorte class in music qf Mrs. Stanley's, will go down to Hughes ville to-day (Thursday)' and take part in the entertainment to be given by Mrs. S. and her pupils. Several stock holders of the Lake Mokoma Land company were in town on Friday last. They con sulted the best interest of the com pany, but no business of importance was transacted. "No use," said an impecunious debtor to an importunate creditor, "you can't get blood out of a turnip." "I know that," responded the dreditor, "but unless I get this liioney, I'll have gore from a beat." MARRIED, SPEARY RICHARD :—At the M. E. Parsonage at Muncy Valley, May 28th, 1890, by Rev. J. P.

It was the silliest affair exhibited at this place for many a long day. Every seat in the tent was occupied and alter the thing was ever a sicker lot of people We never seen. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Cheney of Eagles Mere, 16ft for Philadelphia on Wednesday,' where they were called as witnesses in tlie Draper vs. Draper litigation, in which Will Draper is attempting to prove that his grand-mother Mrs. Edward Dr&pef, who is very well known here, is iitit tii fit condition, owiug to to look after her large wealth recently pla!ced in her hands iy the death of her husband.

While a game of base ball was in ' progress at Berniee, on Memorial Day, between the home team and (lie Towanda club; Charley Jackson of Berniee unfortunately ran into a Towanda player while running from first to second, with such force as to throw him to the ground sense less. He Remained in tliTs condition for an hour or more. Charley was hurt quite badly but not seriously. The accident happened during the second inning and broke up the game. W. H. Kennedy f*or many years statiori agent at Dushore,' and who last week received word from the proper officials of the L. Y. R. R., Ito vacate his place, has hosts of friends in Dushore and vi'cinity who are circulating a paper which is being signed by business men re questing the company to continue him in their service. Mr. Kennedy is one of the most accommodating agents along the railroad, hence the interest taken by the people to re turn him to his old quarters. This is quite a compliment for 1 Will and we trust that they will be successful in their undertaking. By consulting the cou*t proceed ings published elsewhere in this is sue you will notice that the court has taken action in the matter per taining to the welfare of the insane man llawk" of Cherry twp. It will be remembered thitt the REPUBLICAN was the liist to expose the treat ment of Htiwk arid that the Dushore papers advocated that he was re ceiving good care, By the action taken in tbis matter, by .the court, oiir readers will perceive that we come out best. The Du shore papers iiiusl have known that tlie old man was being missused but for fear of losing a subscriber or two they refused to expose those in the blu.iie. j The LaPorte twp., auditors, S. 'Mead, J. Harvey and Daniel Keeler, were in town, on Monday auditing the I financial standing of the township. An exchange states that you can read the proof of a newspaper article three or four times, and repeatedly pass the same mistake without see ing it. All newspaper itien tell you so. But as soon as the presp is started and the paper is printed in its complete sliape, there stands the error in front of you, so big that you cail't see anything else. It's a strange fact and is probably the same reason why it is so easy to edit a newspaper after it is printed.— Or rick {Mo.,) Jieview. _ On Monday morning Deputy Sheriff Thos. Mahaffey accompanied by John K. Farrell and Frank McHenry took Dewitt Shultz the convicted convict of this teiin of court for larceny, to the Eastern Peiiitentiary. The total weight of the ollicers in charge will reach 575 pounds while Shultz tips the beaul iit 150 pounds. There is no doubt in our mind but that the prisoner will be deposited all o.k. in the Eastern Penitentiary as sen tenced by the court. Should he at tempt to escape while tin his way down, one, or three of those incharge will take the matter in hand and will soon put an end to his boyish capers. It only required one as sistant to convey Sharpe the no torious highway robber to tlie Peni teutiary last February. Just why the Sheriff is entitled to. two as sistance at this particular time, which has never been granted before, is a mystery to the tax payers of the county. The little affair will cost tlie county one hundred dollars while it should not cost more than seventy-five dollars. We trust the pleasure seekers will have a grand good time. The Senatorial district composed of Columbia, Lycomig,' Montour and Sullivan counties, Is generally J carried by the Democrats by 3000 OT 4000 majority. Senator Metzger ! will not be a candidate for renomina lion," but Lycoming will have a can didate in C. La Ilue Munson, a young attorney of Williauisporfc. Among the othei 1 candidates will be Dr. Haffa, of Montour; M. J. Lull, of Sullivan, and Giant Herring and A. L. Fritz, of Columbia. Sullivan will put: in a strong claim on the rotation principle. All the counties of the district have had a turn at it since Senator Chalfant was elected from Montour, but the death of Sena tor Jackson while still in office gave Sullivan but one-half a term. Ly coming has had the Senator eight years in succession. Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.

Johti Neiswanger, a wealthy farm er residing near Carlisle and who owns one of the fine9t farms in that valley, was recently fleeced by three swindlers on the old and much-woru gag of wanting to buy his farm. 1 Mr. Neiswanger was approached by a man who claimed that he repre sented some New York capitalists desired to buy some farms in this valley. He asked to be shown over the farm, and Mr. Neiswanger took him around, and.he seemed highly pleased with it. He then asked how much he wanted for it. Mr. Neiswanger, after studying a little, said that SSOOO in Cash would close the bargain. The stranger was in the act of accepting, when they were joined by two strangers who had driven up along the fence in a buggj-. They commenced talk ing with them, and one of the strang ers commenced'to play _ "three-card monte." They began to play in fun i and tie stranger that was first talk ing to the farmer was enticed to play, and he won S6OOO. The farm er opened his eyes at this, and, alter a great deal of persuasion, he con sented to join, rind they succeeded in fleecing him out of S2OOO before they left.
