THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. 4. C. WINK, (OITOft 4 PflOPRICTO. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1807. The State legislature. The Legislature .of Pennsylvania met on the 5th inst. and organized for the session of 1807. The organ ization was attended by no extraor dinary incideut notwithstanding the red hot contest that had been going on for Rome weeks previous on the U. S. Senatorehip. In the Republican caucus on Monday night preceding the meeting of the General Assembly, Hon. Henry K. Boyer of Philadel phia, was unanimously nominated for Speaker, as was also Jere D. Rex of Huntingdon county, for Chief Clerk, and A. D. Fetterolf of Montgomery county for Resident Clerk. These Dominations were ratified by the elec tion of the gentlemen named, in the house next day. Speaker Boyer, on assuming the chair made a few re marks pertineut to the important legislation likely to come up this winter, and counseled the most rigid economy in all things. This is Mr. Boyer' third ununimous election as Speaker of the House, and his excel lent training and large experience in that line will go far toward expedit ing the business of the session and bringing about the best results in the least time. The two principal clerks are also well versed in their duties and will be a great help in properly conducting the business of the House. Iu the Senate Hon. S. J. M. Mc Carroll of Harrisburg was elected President pro tem, and Chief Clerk Smiley of Franklin was re-elected to his old place. Without him the work of the Senate would be greatly ham pered, be having had years of exper ience in that capacity, making a most creditable officer. The reading of the Governor's mes sage occupied the attention of both Houses during the balance of the af ternoon session.' The Governor touches on many topics ueeding leg islative attention, and his views are sound on all of them. On Tuesday evening at eight o'clock the joint Republican caucus for the nomination of a United States Senator was called to order by Sena- or Grady of Philadelphia. Boies Penrose and John Wanamaker, both of 'Philadelphia, were named and able five-minute speeches made in fa vor of both candidates by a number of Senators and Representatives. The vote resulted in the choice of IIou. Boies Penrose by 133, against 75 for Hon. John Wanamaker, and 1 each for J. Donald Cameron, John B. Rob inson and Charles E. Rice. A short session was held on Wed nesday, when both Houses adjourned till the 18th inst., at which time the standing committees of both the Sen ate and House will be aunounced and the actual work of the Legislature begun.

The new county officers were sworn in on Monday, Jan. 4, and have already gotten pretty well accustomed to their several duties. John H. Robertson of Marienville, the newly elected Prothonotary.Register and Kecorder, is a thorough and obliging business man, one whom it is a pleasure to tnoet, and we predict a successful term for bin. C. M. Aruer, the retiring Pro inonour, nas served Uiree successive terms in the office, which alone goes to show that he has been an efficient officer, Mr. S. J. Setley will be retained by Mr, KobertsoB as clerk. No better selection could have been made. Frank P. Walker of Nebraska, the new Sheriff, is a pleasant gentleman, who has been a steady, hard working man, and will undoubtedly make a good officer and give a satisfactory aclminis tratiou. Ex-Sheriff Sawyer ban moved into the Sheriff 's residence and w ill act as deputy for Sheriff Walker. John T, Carson, the retiring Sheriff, has been good officer and has faithfully performed his duties. We can find no cause to kick, even though he was a Democrat. The new board of County Commission ere W. M. Coou, C. M. Whiteinan and llormau lilutu are ull men of exper ience, well acquainted with the needs of the county and ought to render a good administration. They have made the following appointments: J. T.

No one can tell what the end will be. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic bronchitis, it not eou sumption, invariably result Irom a neg lected cold. It is surprising, too, that bad colds are so often neglected when one remembers how easily and at what little expense they may be cured. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is always prompt and enectual, and costs but a trine; 25 or 60 cents is a trille as compared with th disastrous ellects of a neglected cold. Mr, Abner Mercer of Dilworihtown, Chester county, Pa., in speaking of this remedy said: "Sometime ago I had a bad cold and i-outrh. I tried almost everything. rinuny mr. nunc, the druggist, recom mended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and one 0U cent bottle oi it cured me en tirely." tor sale by U. W. Bovard.
