The law should bo enforced against all persons found violating the it. The penalty for vio lating tno law is heavy, and the only way of putting a stop to the evil prac tice is for some good citizen to mako an example of one or more of these desecrators of the Sabbath. One day recently while Miss Clara Snyder and sister Katie, of Snyders vllle, were returning home from Sitler's store, Lizzard Valley, their horse took freight, running against a stump and upset the buggy, throwing out both occupants. Kortunntely neither were dangerously injnred. E. V. German recently butchered n pair of porkers of his own fattening which jointly made the scute, squeak to the tune of 875 pounds. For so early a butchering this was doing pretty well, There were stacks of of sausnge, pon derous hams, and 6$ cans of lard, each weighing CO pounds. These were, Mr. F. Hill, his butcher, claimed the largest hogs killoJ in this place so far this season, and while not of extraordi nary heft, were fine samples. It isn't so much the fashion ns formerly to stulf hogs with corn for producing fat owing to the fact thar lard has not been bringing a paying return for the cost of production, and hence but few peo ple euro to raise big porkers uow-n-days One of the smallest Infants on re cord in this section, and probably in the State, was born at Doresett Station, this township, on Tuesday of last week, December 13. The mother Slvelln Zimmerman, and tho Infant weighs but two pounds. Tho child Is only 10 Inches lu length, andcau easily Ho in the palm of a person's hand. It is dressed in small doll's clothing, and Is carried around on n pillow. The child Is fully formed, takes its nourish ment ill a manner which reflects credit on its appetite, also has a luxuriant head of hair. It attracts much atten tion, and the neighbors for miles around are visiting the house dally to get a glimpse of the infant. TO OUR READERS.

The Jeanesvllle Literary Society gave their first publio meeting of this year last ovenlng when the members again acquitted themselves in a ered itable manner nnd gave the public an entertainment that should make an impression on fliem. The organization is ono which deserves the encourage. ment of people who wish to see any. thing, with a good nud beneficial ob, ject In view. Tho society has now been in existence ono year during which time the requisites obtained through its existence is fully appreciated by those who have lent the time to which it would otherwise be idly spent. The Young Men's Catholic liou evolent Association of Jeanesville, No. 130, of the I. C. B. U, have elected tho following officers for the ensuing year: President, D. J. Couahan; Vice Presi, dent, John Riley; Rcc. Secretary, Hugh Coll; Hn. Secretary, John Clark Treasurer, John McCann; Trustees, Luke McGraw and Patrick Leonard; Stewards, Jerry Donovan, Mike Daly and Charles Friel; Messenger, James McGlynn. Tho society is now in the fifteenth year ot its organisation and lias 11 membership of 120 which Is steadily increasing. Gomer, the 13 year old son of Mordical Parry, of Jeanesville, met a horrible death Tuesday between the hours nt 12 and 1 o'clock. The little fellow was employed as a slate picker at the No. 1 breaker and when return ing to his work on the dinner hour jumped on a train ot coal oars whieh was then passing up the track. After he got ou the cars he went to walk be tween them on the bumpers aud slip ped falling to the traok, where his dead body was picked up after the cars had passed. His body was not badly mangled, but his bones were mostly all broken and from theappearanceof the body it is evident some ot the cars passed over it. No one saw him fall, but one of the brakenien saw him get ou the oars aud next saw him between them; this was the last seen of him until be was found dead. It has been a practise of the boys working on this breaker for some years back, to jump on the cars as they passed during the dinner hour and how they escaped so long la a wonder to the ssaay who wBtshed them jumping on and off. - Plain 8pwker. Next Monday a shooting match will take place at the Jeanesville ball park between James Martin, of Uu- TIIK l'Ol'UI.Alt VOTi: FOK VKKSIllKNT. Except in ono or . two states, the official returns of the late electlou for president arc complete; and they show a total vote of a little more that 12,000, 000 In round figures. This Is a surprls- iugly small increase upon the voto ot 1888, wnlch amounted to llr170,C32-n gain of 1,318,020 over tho presidential voto of 1881. Tho returns indicate a re markable abstention from the exorciso of a suffrage lu n presidential year. While the Democrats have gained something like 80,000 over tho vote of 1888, the Republicans have lost about 1(11,000 votos. But In the slates of Colo. rado, Idaho, Kansas, N.ovada, Oregou, Nebraska and Wyoming tho Demo cratic voto was absorbed lu tho fusion with tho Peoplo's party upon the elec toral tickets for president. Iu these states much tho larger porportion of the votes for General Weaver was drawn front the Democratic party in tho effort to defeat tho Republican electors. But nil estimates of the gain and loss of votes for president must bo untrustworthy, since It Is impossible to ascertain in what ratio the 1,000,000 of votes for General Weaver were con tributed by tho two parties. In the total voto of the country the Repub; llcnns are in a minority ef upward of 1,700,000. Iu a review of (he interesting details of the oOlclal returns It will be seen that the great and magnanimous com monwealth of Texas stands at tho head of the Democratic column, with a plu rality of upward of 211,073 for Cleve land over Harrison. While Harrison had 77,174 votes, Weaver had 09,033 votes, aud Illdwell, the Prohibitionist, 21C3 votes. The Democratic majority over all op position mounts up to the magnificent figure of 100,000 votes. Although Texas is the second wool growing state In the Union, it is evident that men, not sheep, do the voting In that proud commonwealth. Next iu the Democratic column stands Georgia, with a Cleveland pin rallty of upward of 80,000 votes. Then comes Louisiana, with Democratic majority of more than 00,000 votes, iu spite ot the sugar bounty sop extended to its planters. Alabama, where there was so much "rainbow chasing," rolls up a Democratic majority over the People's party of upward of 50,000; while the Republican party is reduced from an uncertain politlcalquantlty to a mere figure of speech, Then follows in succession New York, with a Democratic majority of 13,0u0; Missouri, with 10,000; Kentucky, with 10,000; Virginia, with 10,000; Tennessee, with 30,000; South Carolina, with 10,000; Illinois, with 27,000; and so on down the Democratic list. It; Mississippi both parties seem to have grown almost tired of the exercise ot the suffrage, as the total vote of that state in the re cent election was only it little more thau 50,000, of whloh' tho Democrats received 10,000, aud the People's party 10,000. What is left of the Republican party iu that state polled just HOC votes.' Pennsylvania still stundsat the htad ot the Republican column, with a plu rality of -03,717 for Harrison upon a smaller total vote than that of 1838. Notwithstanding tho tariff reform movement, Massachusetts still remains the seeoud Republican state, with a plurality of 20,000 votes for Harrison, reduced from 32,000 lu 1882. Iowa fol lows with a Republican majority of 23,000, a fall of 10,000; Minnesota, with 22,000, a fall of 10,000; Michigau, with 20,000, a fall of 3000; and Vermont, with 21,000, a drop of nearly WfiOO majority;! whilst Kansas (which gave Harrison a maguifieeut majority ot 80,000 four years ago) has gone over to the Peo ple's party. Iu Ohio, the home of McKiuley and Sherman and the foremoot wool-rais ing state, the Harrison electoral ticket scrapes through with a plurality of 1000 votes; and California, the third sheep-raising state, goes on the official recotd, at last, on the Democratic side. In this general break-up it would be premature to attempt to forecast the future ot the Republican party. Rut it would be very sate to predict that the party will never rally again behind such a policy as that which is embodied In the MoKinley tariff. The old pro tectionists who led the party into this Serbonlan bog, will lie sent to the rear to the last man. Like their predecessors, the Whig, (who sought to hide the unpopularity ot their principles beneath the mill, tary greatcoats of Harrison, Taylor and Soottl the Republicans will look up one of the remaining heroes of the l.lllls llt-ms or l'nrvlr IV I Slnitlmi Orpr Hi llnll.lisr VI res.
