A SAD FATE.
At about .1 o'clock in the- afternoon.
on Wednesday, February 221, Lafayette
Pratt left.tho house of henry; Wood,. in
the town of Lathrop, Susquehanna county
Pa., for
.his l•o:ee, a distance of about
two or three miles. Not returning home
the family with whom be was' living be%
came-alarmed and the neighbors inStitu ,
ted a search for him, ion . the following
,day .near night.: Not being successful on ,
Thursday's search, search was begun
again. on Friday morning; , and
.at
about 6 o'clock the frozen body of Pratt
was foetid within' half a , mile of home.
From. his tracks it appears he forded a
stream and immediately began to winder
iu oppdsito directions crossing, .and re
crossing his own tracks several times.
It is apparent from his wanderings that
he was - bewildered and• knew not which
way to go; When found his clothing
was nearly all off,-. his head laying upon
his pants with his coat closely drawn
around his shoulders: He was neal ly
60 years of age, and his health ~was not
good. Thapreinamplion is that ,he wan•
dered about until chilled, and becoming
stupid stepped off his clothes as if laying
down to-sleep—the sleep from 'which he
can never awaken.— Telegram

absence of W. C. T., H. C. Chace, lion.
B. S. Daitt presided. The - ak.cnilance,
considering the bad state of the roaciS
was good. Lodges as far diStant as Syl
vania and Canton - were represented,
The church. was well tilled, by attentive
iisteners at the eveninzsessio.n ; the ex-:
ercises of ....which were participated_ in
by Hon. 1.-S. Dartt,.J. : 11. Wilson, 0. J..
Chubbucli; C. - Johnson, and S.•p, Madden
interspersed to the music by the choir,
Miss Clara Gleason and Others.
Resolutions were. adopted as fellows :
. Resolved, That arcas i - ;o. - .4.1 ;Templairs
of Bradford and Sullivan counties in con
y, ntion met, hereby eipress our hearty.
co-operation .in the efforts : to • secure the
adoption of a - constitutional amendment
to prohibit forever. from the conimon,
wealth the manufacture and sale of intexi
;eating drinks. That we Will aid in the.
proposed organization of asioaiatioits' in
every voting district• for the puri.oso
. 0f
securing "the • enactment Itubmitting this
amendment to a vote, and when submit
ted, giving it the largest possible majori
ty and 'subsequently . the adoption of
necessary statutory supporting laws.'
• Second, To.thls end we will see that
sound, true temperance men only get into

'calling to our aid vigorous organization;
rery available political right; and high
above all, thci approval and favor of the .

_victory. - j r . . _ •
Third,
,That wo urge each Ladge' , ' in .
this District to take measures to Civet!.
l t ite temperance literature in its respecta;
ble locality for the r purpose of . awakeiiing
piddle sentiment to the importance. of
securing the success of constitutional And
legal prohibition of the litluortratlie.
The next meeting is to be held at She
aheqiiin. This is the annual session, at
which officers are elected, and as the time
.falls an May 30th, Decoration bay, a re
solution was adopted leaving, it with the .
- Executive. Committee to au the meetiii
at such other time as may • be. thought
best. -_ •
The discussions at this eonven tiqn were
earnest, and the sentiment quite
unani
mous in favor of constitutional prohibition.
The right of the peqple to rule and to alter
their constitution. is secured to them in the
Otniititution itself. Government was 'in
stituted for' their peace, safety and happi
ness 2, The traffic in intoxicating beverag,
es, is, 4u every practical effect destructive
of such "peace; safety and happiness." .
It is productive of crime,- misery and.
taxation. For government to grant
privileges deatructive of eVorypu rposo of
its existence, is a prostitutiok,of its au
thority to base purpotte.c."aniii, a, betrayal
of its trusts.

BOURNE'S MILLS.
Bourne's Mills are - situated in the
northeastern part of West Darlington,
about two Miles north from Darlington
Durough, a little to the right of the road
leading to Smithfield.
Though the winter has not been a fa
vorable one for lumbering, the fanners
near have improved all the snow, and
some have even hauled in logs on 61nro
ground, so that the mill yard has not b.en
sufficient to hold all, and the nearest mea
elowhas a large number of logs plied in It
waiting the action of the large circle saw,
which may he seen and heard almost con

like a thing of life.
The Ilourno'Brothers do a brisk busi
ness, sawing, planing, etc. They also
ha - ve-a grist mill where they grind feed
and meal at the rate of fifty bushels "per
hour.
