About 700 applications from all parts of the county were consid ered, of which nearly 200 were from Wllkesbarre. Against 140 of these the law and order league tiled remonstrances, and fought each case bitterly. They alleged that all these 140 were unnecessary, and in forty cases charged specified violations of the liquor law, and sought to establish this chargo by testimony. Out of the five hun dred applications from tho county, outside of Wilkcsbarro, 132 wero refused j and in Wllkcsbarro forty-slx applications wero withdrawn. The citizens' committee huvo expressed a determination to see that In all places not licensed tho salo of liquor is stopped on the day tbo license expires. Ilcrwlclc.

Editor Bray of tho Waverly Free I'ras under tho abovo head relates In tho follow lng interesting manner some of tho trials nnd tribulations of nn editor : Of nil men living, tho editor seems to be tho ono most loved, most hntcd, most cursed, most praised, most envied, nnd most traduced. If ho gives an unbiased opinion on any subject, it Is no sooner in print thnn part of tho peoplo aro criticising and condemning, and a part aro uphold lng him In his views. If he neglects to give afftho news, whether It bo that which would carry gladness to tho hearts of many, or darkness Into tho lives of some, he is ac cused of being nfrald to glvo facts, und let the people judge for themselves of tho merits of the case. If perchance, some question Is raised in tho village whero ho resides, that he must needs havo something to say, pro or con. ho at once begins nn ex haustive search to ascertain tho bottom facts j and after satisfying himself ns to tho true standing of matters, ho then at. tempts to glvo tho facts ns he has learned them, and ten chances to one if lie Is not asked to rectify an Imaginary wrone, and If ho calls for facts Is given a diatribe, ex- pecting of course, that tho editor Is to pub lish It nnd shoulder the responsibility. But few, wo may safely say not ono in fifty, know how difficult it is to publish a paper and nvold making bitter enemies. Scarcely a day or week passes but the attention of nn editor Is called to nets of people, which were they brought before tho pub. He would keep tho kcttlo of scandal turbu lent. Tho editor must at all times exercise his prerogative irrespective of friend or foe, bo it one of pleasure or pain, and declare for that which he deems right and just, be it for one or many, nor must ho bo In tho least trammeled in the exercise of his opin ion, either for or against. Tho life of nn editor Is, in mnuy respect?, one of continual watchfulness and anxiety for he bus all classes to deal with, nud the nctt, being as it is, composed mostly about people nnd their doings, he Is constantly writing nbout his fellow-mnn, and ever anxious not to do him a wrong. Slany seem to think the reverse, and fly into a passion If their names appear in print, nnd threaten dire vengeance nnd a suit for libel on the unlucky individual who dares to connect their names with anj thing that savors of wrong, oven bo they ever so guilty. True there is much connected with edi torial work which is enjoyable j but fow, very few, know tho amount of care exer cised by every editor to avoid making ene mies, but many times justice points the way for him to pursue, and ero he is aware, lie has transformed a dear friend into a bit ter cncmy,and it may bc,by telling tho sim ple truth. Ccutralln. The dreaded disease, small pox, has mado its appearance among us, nnd is the ono topic of discussion by everyone. The cases, two in number, developed in tho Evans family, whose houso has been quar antined tho past few weeks on nccount of Sirs. Evun3 visiting a patient in Ashland. Tho germ of tho disease must have been carried home b3 Sirs. Evans, ns it could not originate from any other source. The Board of Health will use every available means to prevent it from spreading, nnd that they may succeed is the prayer of tho whole community. Tho small pox has taken a firm hold lu Ashland. Since tho disease first made Its oppenranco there has been over ono bun dred cases, und new ones added daily to tho list. A pest houso was erected on Sunday nnd mostly all tho -patients re moved there on Slondny night. Parties not willing to go there will not bo visited by the doctor. Rev. E. T. Field is building quite nn ad dltlon to his dwelling, which will glvo It a very fine nppenrnnco when completed. Andrew Gnllngher nnd Stagglo Fognrty wero mnrrled on Slonday.

Harris, Stato President of tho Amnl gamatcd Association, spent part of lost week In town, endeavoring to organlzo a branch of tho society, and succeeded. On Monday evening ho addressed a largo crowd and clearly explained to them that tho working man Is literally wronged. On Friday evening a branch of tho Working Men's Union was organized In tho school building. On account of tho Illness of Rov. Field, thcro wero no services in St. Ignatius' church on Thursday. On Sunday lust Rev. Benton olllclated. A Polunder employed at tho Centralln colliery, whilo riding on n dirt dumper on Thursday, struck ids bend against n pro. jcctlng schuto under tho breaker and was badly hurt. Ho was taken to tho hospital. Communications on polttics aro often robbed of their forco by tho refusal of the writer to havo his nnmu printed. If it man has anything to say on any subject that is wortli printing, ho ought not to bo afraid to havo peoplo know who wroto it. It has crown into a custom to sign soma nom de plume to such articles, leaving tho editor to assume nil tho responsibility. While wo arc willing to publish all proper commuiil. cations, we arc not willing to shoulder tho blame for everything that anybody may want to say. BLOOMSBUlia Nellie Coolcy'N Itacly I'omul. Wo gather Hie following from tho Wilkes Bnrro Record of Wednesday I The mystery which has enshrouded the disappearance of Sliss Nelllo Cooley from her homo in Wilkes Barro on December 0th last, has at length been cleared nway. Her body was found yesterday morning In tho Susquehanna about thrco miles below Nanticoke, nnd It Is therefore certain that tho unfortunate girl left tho houso of her guardian to find Ilia oblivion sbo sought in tho river. Thcro seems to bo some doubt ns to who was tho first to sco the body, In tho after noon a telegram was received nt tho Record olllcc that James SI. Fink, a track laborer on tho N. & W. B. R. R. wns tho first to discover tho body, but excellent authority says that tho remains wero discovered by Albert Bloom, n brnkcinnn on tho Pennsyl. vaiiia road. Ho first saw tho remains nbout 8:10 n. m,, when on tho trip down the line. Tho body wns flouting nbout four feet from tho shoro n portion of the clothing having caught on a projecting trunk of a tree. About 11 when passing tho spot on tlio return trip Bloom ngnln saw tho body and this time notified SIoscs Elchclbcrgcr superintendent of tho Poor House. Sir. Elchclbcrgcr sent word to Nnntlcoko nnd from tliis point shortly after 1 p. in., N, Ruttcr wns Informed by telephone of tho discovery. The message sent to him, how. ever, contnlned merely tho nnnouncement that the body of a woman In n badly de composed condition had been found In tho river, nnd it wns supposed that it wns tho remains of Sliss Cooley. Sir. Ruttcr went down In the nftcrnoon, with several others, and tho body was removed Irom the water. It seemed at first glance Impossible that so frightful an object could bo tho lovely nnd charming girl Hint many of thoso present had known In life. Decomposition had rendered nil Identification by general appearance an impossibility, but in order to settle nt mice the distressing suspense under which her friends labored, a minute examination of her clothing was mado. This soon proved beyond a doubt that the remains wero thoso of Sliss Cooley. Al though tho upper garment was torn to shreds enough remained to allow it to bo identified as the wrapper in which she had left the house. Tho under garments were well preserved and on one of them close examination revealed tho Initials "N. D. C." This removed tho last doubt as to tho identity of the remains, nnd tho friends ut Wilkes Barro were promptly notified by telephone, nnd their uncertainty finally dispelled. A coffin was procured from the Poor House, tho remains placed there. In nnd removed to that building where they remained until evening, when tho box wns placed on the cars and taken home. Dr. C. S. Beck identified tho remains from the fillings lu tho teeth. Tho circumstances attending Sliss ooiey s disappearance win no remembered hv most nf our re.nli'rH. Klu wnq last. wm alive on the evening of Sunday, December linn, sue retired us usual on mat even ing and on the following morning it wns discovered that she had left the homo du ring the night, leaving a note in which she stated that not wishing to be longer a trouble to her friends sho bad gone to seek rest in oblivion. At first It was t.iought that sho had taken some jewelry and money with her and this gave rise to a supposition on tho part nf some that she nan only sought a Home elsewhere. From tho first, however, tho belief Hint sho had committed suicide was very generally en tertained and this was deepened by the after discovery that sho had not taken nny Jewelry or money. Tho lcnethv search for her body In tho rlyer, nnd for truces of her on land will be well remembered by Wilkes Barrcans, as nlso tho many false reports circulated ot her being seen in vnrious localities, which were in turn In vestlgated and exploded. The reward of $1,000 which was offered for her recovery alivo or dead shortly after her disappearance would now seem to have been earned, and wo understand Hint the discoverer of tho body will Immediate ly put in his clnlm for that amount. Lester from Saratoga HprliiuH, May 23, 1884. Saratoga is putting on its summer garb. Eight days ago thcro was n snowy hall storm, nud nn overcoat was comfortable with winter clothing. Now summer reigns, though tho trees are far from being in full foliage. This is tho paradiso of paint nud putty. Houso cleaning Is never complete without tho painter, and so everything looks nl ways fresh and new. Tho process of cleaning up the largo hotels Is just begin ning, nud the girls nnd men will soon bo flocking into town for that purpose. The hotels hero aio enormous, though their ca pacity is usually overrated. Tho Grand Union is said to accommodate 2500 gucs s, but to do so It must put a great many of them In "annexes." It is said that this hotel has laid in already $a),000 worth of provisions to stm t with. The prosperity of Saratoga docs not de pend on mere fashion. There Is something in the air which cannot bo bottled up and carried nway like the wnter of the springs nn exhilarating nnd tonic Influence, which accounts for Its popularity. This, as well as its ability to accommodate largo numbers of people out of "the senson," makes it n favorite resort for conventions. 'J ho Presbyterian General Assembly is drnwiug near Us close.
