Some of the New York papers are furious in their advocacy of holding the great exposition of 1892 in that city, and declare that their people should raise two millions of dollars to help the enterprise along.

The Democratic county Conven tion will very likely be caned prev ious to September Court in order to give the candidates a 'chance to work jp their ci-se with the voters of the county in attendance at court- Their work however will be fruitless as will be proven by the result of November election. To build up a town people must stick together l ; ke brick dust to a bar of soap. There must be no wrangling oi q.arreting or jealousies among t hem. Property owners in town must olfer inducements to secure business, must advertise in local papers, and above all things, must not expect to make a fortune in a year or two. Atty. R. J.

Contractor Watrous expects to complete that part of the grading of the Lake Mokoma road in the borouch of LaPo te this week. He will then make the needed repair* on the Mokoma side w'ien it will be turned over to the town council and the Directors of the Mokoma Land Co., for completion. Mr. Watrous has done an excellent job and their is no doubt but that the proper officials will accept the same without a murmur. Governor Fitz Hugh Lee, of Vir ginia, expresses great confidence in the ability of the Democrats to c.irry the State in November, notwith standing the signing of':he treaty o' peace in the Republican party. Put as the Democrats could only carry it by 1,500 majority last year, at a time when they were well organized, and wiien the Republicans were car rying on a family quarrel, it is not easy to see the grounds on which Governor Lee bases his confidence. The truth is that ne and the other Democratic leaders liuve been disap pointed and alarmed by the disposi tion of the Republican leaders to come together, and they know that if they are obliged to confront a united Republican party this year the chances will be against them. At least this is the logic of the pres ent situation when viewed in con nection with the figures of the e.ac tion of 1888, end Governor Lee probably understands it as well as anybody. BASE BALL, Bernice vs. Eagles Mere. The base ball club visited Eagles Mere and played the home team a friendly game of ball on Sat urday last. The game from the; start was very entertaining and much enthusiasm was shown by the by standers for the success of both, clubs. The guests of the 'Mere were,: as in the past, very anxious for their; boys to win and expressed their ap preciation of a good piny by one of the 'Mere boys, in a chorus that would drownd the thunders of heav en. We can perceive no weakness of lung* in that neighborhood; invalids there wc imagine are ailing about their heads, and the chnnces pre they never w : '' rscorer from 'ho attack, the b-eezes of the 'Mere. .never can restore that difficulty. Wo noticed several .so called invalids tin tiie bail ground who have bee n constant coin ers to the Lake for the past years and 110 change can be noticed in their manners, thus proving that they are beyonu relief. The game was played between the hours of 4 and P> o'clock and was a continual wrangle from the coui menceraent to the end. The Bernice boys tcoV the lead from the first and coiii inv \i so until the seventh inning when the 'Mere boys scored seven runs, three of which were scored on a long hit bv Robert McCormick, captain of the 'Mere team and a gen tleman in every resneot. The result of this inning put txie 'Merc boys one score In the lead, 14 to 13. The Her .'ce boys on the eighth inning made o: - e score which made a tie but owing to dis.-agreements between the clubs refused to play out the game which was as aIC uit decided 9. t0 0 by the Umpire in favor of tlje 'Mere. John Em beck, Esq., of William sport was selected as Umpire and is entitled to much praise for the honorable position he took in the game. He tnay have made a few errors but as a whole he was exceed ingly lair. A RAILWAY RUMOR. It is possible that the Pennsylva nia railroad company will abandon its old route from Williainsport tp Muncy, and by utilizing the bed ol the canal for a tl'ack, avoid expen sive bridging. This would give the company a larger share of Muncy business, us the canal route runs by the town, whereas the present rail road route i" nearly two miles dis tant. A rumor has it that the Read Ing railroad company, fearing that this plan might lie putin operation and there by injure its own business at Muncy, engaged a party of sur veyors to stake out a route flora Williainsport to Elniira, with a view of scaring the Pennsylvania. Wc give both these rumors . for whai they are worth. We are inclined to the belief that tfce survey was made with the serious intention of getting an outlet to the lakes in Sullivan co*inty.— Ex. The owners of degs may read vita profit the following synopsis of the law in reference tc their animals : If anybody is attacked ®n the high way by a clog, thite person has a right to kill the dog, and the owner can be held accountable for any injury by the animal. Even on ::c premi ses of the owrer of the dog, should a person be attacked and irj'.red af ser endeavoring to protect himself, the owner can be held responsible for damagfes inflicted, providing it can be shown tiiat the person so in jured was in pursuit of business or on a frier dly call. Tt a dog by bark ing at passing horses or vehicles oc casions any damage, its owner is lia ble for the loss sustained. NOTICE.
