Fresh bakers bread constantly on hand at the store of Mrs. M. C. Lauer, prepared by C. W. Champion, the Dushore baker- The man who lives only for him self is engaged in very small busi ness. This has been the coldest March experienced in this section for many years. Jos. Fiester of LaPorte twp., was doing business at the county seat, Saturday. E. J.

The portrate of E P. Ingham in the Times and Press , on Friday last, was very poor, indeed. A scientist has discovered that near-sightedness prevails more among blondes than brunettes. The Muncy Luminary is for sale. This is one of the best equipped offices in this part of the state. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Taylor of Muncy Valley, were calling on friends at LaPorte, Wednesday.

A machinist of Williamsport, is en gaged in making the repairs. Very satisfactory news comes to us from the Western part of the county, in reference to the change to be made in the REPUBLICAN, on May 6th. Our informant tells us that we will more than double our circulation in that section of the county. What more could we ask ? The State Democratic Convention will meet at Harrisburg, April 13, 1892. The nominations will be as follows : One person for the office of Judge of the Supreme Court, two persons for Congressmen rt large, thirty-two persons as presidential electors. THE REP ULICA N WILL BE ENLARGED ON OR ABOUT MAY 6th, AND THE SUBSCRIPTION REDUCED TO SI.OO A YEAR, IF PAID IN ADVANCE.

Y. city, who has been serving James McFatlnne & Co., as book-keeper at the La- Porte tannery, for the past year, severed his connection with said fiim recently, and with his wife, will take his departure for New York city, in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Hagle are spoken of very nicely by their associates. • ■» i <■ Several of our townsmen are calculating a show. The exact di mensions of the canvas and the ma terial to be used has not, as yet, been determined upon. When this conclusion has been reached the boys will plunge. J. W. says: "with his name at the head of the posters <- bust" is impossible. The LaPorte school exhibition, will take place in the high school room, on this (Thursday) evening. Admission, 20 and 25 cents. Pro ceeds will be used in purchasing an organ for the school room. A worthy cause lience, a liberal at tendance of our people will be ex pected. The people of Dushore and vicini ty are contesting for the annual Musical Normal. Lovers of music throughout the county should lend a helping hand to secure this musi cal entertainment to take place in our midst as it will include the superior music talent of the state. If held in the county, however, La- Porte would be the proper place. The Normal will lie held in May and immediate steps are necessary. It would appear that the LaPorte correspondent to i,he Hughesville Mail, is not on the best of terms with our home office seekers, judging from his one or two- recent letters published in that paper. Here is one paragraph by his pen, that appeared in the Mail , last week : "It appears that what was said hy Occasional" about the "political pot" and the candidates gave offence, (low sensitive these aspirants are ; they forget that they are public property, and that the fundamental law of the land gives full liberty to the press." The committee of teachers ap pointed at the last County Institute to examine applicants for perma nent certificates held a meeting at LaPorte last Saturday. The mem bers of the committee present were F. W. Meylert of Forksville, M. F. Albert and Miss Annie Ettinger of LaPorte. One applicant Mr. M. C. Miller, of Dushore, was present and passed the examination. We have now three in our county who hold the permanent certificate. They are Ulysses Bird Esq.. of Estella, Miss Julia Cronin and Miss Mame Hoffman of Dushore. Atty. Henry Harding of Tunkhan nock, is a candidate for Congress man, subject to the decision of his ' istrict, which is composed ol the following counties, viz: Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming. Mr. Harding's chances are said to be good. The present incumbent, tkmgressman Wright of Susque hanna, is his opponent. Mr. Wright has the delegates from Susquehanna and Wayne, but to be successful in obtaining the nomination he must have one or two from either of the other couties. While on the other hand Bradford and Wyoming can nominate. There is evidently bad blood in that Congressional Dis trict. This is the way a farmer explains how it paid him to take a news paper: '•! take it and read it lor the news. My wife reads the ad vertisements and tells me by so doing she saves in one year twice over what the paper costs. For in stance, she is about to purchase some household articles of clothing that site has been paying $4 for. By looking over the paper she discovers that some one else sells the same article for $3.50. She goes there and gets it, thus saving fifty cents in buying some ordinary article for the house. In the course of a year this amounts to a large sum, where considerable clothing is used, and will more than pay jour subscription. Election llootliN for Examination. The County Commissioners in ordering election booths for the In dependent school districts, ordered five extra booths ith guard rail. These, we understand, will be set up in the Grand Jury room im mediately after May court, where they catt be inspected by the voters of the county, and their use under the new election law explained. The Commissioners are certainly do ing all tLey can to have the voters understand how to vote under this law, and if at t'ae time of election there be any who are unable to do so intelligently they will have no one hut themselves to blame.—To wanda Republican.

MARNHAL. Thin IN I lie Second Time that Ingham a>ud Coleaberry Have Locked Horn* Philadelphia Times March 25. Information from Washington to the effect, that President Harrison had sent to the Senate the nomination of Ellery P. Ingham to be United States District Attorney to succeed John R. Read, and Alex ander P. Colesberry to he United States Marshal, vice William R. Leeds, created not a little surprise in this city Thursday afternoon. Not a few of the political leaders re fused for a time to accept the an nouncement as a fact; particularly that of Deputy Collector lugham, whose candidacy they have per sisted in regarding as more or less of a joke, believing that Colesberry would certainly be made District Attorney. Among well-informed people, how ever, it is believed that President Harrison several days ago made up his mind who lie would appoint, but simply deferred sending the nomin ations to the Senate because he de sired to be courteous to Senator Quay and hear from him his wishes in regard to the appointments. A gentleman who talked with Mr. Harrison on Wednesday night de clares that the President grew weary of standing, hat in hand, waiting for the junior Senator from Pennsylvania to come to him and make known his preferences. It was supposed though that he would perhaps hold off until he could discover what Senator Quay's attitude would be toward the nomin ations already made and which are being held up in the Senate 011 Mr. Quay's motion, but to the surprise of many lie took the bull by the horns and sent in the Philadelphia appointments. A PECULIAR POSITION. While it is not thought that either of the appointments will be absolutely distasteful to the Quay wing of the Republican party, the situation is admittedly a somewhat peculiar one. Both are avowed ad ministration men. Ingham carried his county—Sullivan—for Harrison in the recent delegate fight, and is a warm personal friend of Collector Cooper, whose deputy he is. Tlie Qt ay men have no fault to find with him except that he was not their choice. The local leaders who re cently visited Washington to con sult with Mr Quay declared on their return that Colesberry would certainly be named as District At torney, ridiculing the idea of any body else being in the fight. Assistant Posmaster Hughes was their choice for the Marshals hip, and they would listen to no sug gestion that mentioned anybody else as a possible successor to Mar shal Leeds. Even now some of them predict that Colesberry will net accept his appointment. He wanted the District Attorneyship or nothing, they declare, and they are disappointed. Mr. Colesberry. how ever, is not by any me: ns so positive. When asked yesterday if he would accept he positively re fused to say yes or 110. ' I have received no official notifi cation of my appointment, and until I hear from the President it would be unwise for me to say anything on the subject," was all that .Mr. Coles berry could be induced to say. This is not the first time that Ing ham and Colesbtrry have locked horns. A large number of our read ers will remember the little fracas that occurred on our ball ground during a game of bill between the home boys and the EaglesMereites, some four or five years ago, in which C. E. Jackson of Bernice. who play ed with the La Porte club and Mr. Faris of Philadelphia one of the 'Mere team, unfortuatelv got into a dispute and Faris struck J tckson. The LaPorte boys inter let ed and prevented a general riot, as the on lookers. were anxious for a hand in and were hard to quiet. At the close of the game, Jnckson appeared before Magistrate, W. C. Mason and hart a warrant issued for the arrest of Mr. Faris, on a charge of assault and bati«ry. The instrument was placed in the hands of Slieri J' Tripp, who succeeded in making the ar rest after chasing the fellow to the West end of Main street. At the hearing Ingham plead for the plain tiff and Colesberry for the defend ant. The latter seeing that things were becoming quite warm and that he had no defence requested a war rant for the arrest of Jackson on a charge of using profane language on the ball ground. This made a draw game of the affair, as neither warrant wa« pushed to a fin sh. The proceedings of Mr. Colesberry was reconed quite cute. Hence, the first collision of Ingham and Coles berry, was made a dra ?. The second. Ingham goes into win and knocks Colesberry out, much to the satisfaction of his numerous friends in this section. *E. G. SVLYAfi-A.*- DUSHOKE. PA.
