It appears that Jeff Davis' book.
"The Ilise and Fall of the Sout hern
Confederacy," has proved to be an
unprofitable speculation. The pub- 1
Ushers did all they could for it, but
the name of the author was a fatal 1
drawback. Nobody cares for history
written by a man who emerged from
a great war in feminine attire.

The REPUBLICAN as usual was the
only paper published in Sullivan
county that informed its readers of
the tragedy hist week when the news:
was fresh, to the people.
The announcement that 110 State
fair will be held this year means that
the Pennsylvania Agricultural As
sociation is bankrupt. It is not
particularly creditable to this gn at
State that such is the fact, unless,
as is hinted in some quarters, lhis
manngeinent and incompetency have
brought about this untoward result.

a lively time may be fixpected. The

Our borough dads are not much
on finery and neatness, which fact
is proven by the dilapidated fence
around the public square. The

over the structure and report at the
next meeting of the condition of the
same.

The Republicans of Sullivan coun
'ty are getting quite anxious about
j the banner which was promised us
by Ex-chairman Cooper hist Fall,
for the largest Republican gains of

is 110 doubt the cause of the delay.
The work of recounting the votes
for Governor in West Virginia' still
goes 011, and it can now be set down
as a settled fact that Fleming the
Democratic candidate, will be award-1
j ed the position; not so much bacause
the preponderance of votes was ru
his favor, but, because the exigencies
I of the Democratic party in the Pan
j handle State render it imperatively
necessary that they should have a
until of their faith at the helm.

State will meet in third annual con-,
volition at Allentown on the 23d of j

generally to discuss the duties and

Miss Emma Monk, Miss Victoria
Lusch and Mis* Li//.i<- Donalioe, all
of Onshore, were contestants for a
gold watch at the Catholic picnic
he'd at Dushore on Aug. loth. The
prize was to be given to the one
who raised by subscription the larg
est amount of cash which was done
by circulating memorandum books
to their many friends throughout
the county, persuading Upon them
to give something for old acquain
tance, which plea proved quite suc
cesslul. The result was as follows 1
Miss Monk, $12(1,00, Miss Lusch
s.s'!.oo, Miss Ponahoe #1(10,1)0.
Miss Doinilioe was the successful
candidate which fact we are pleased
to note.
The Masquerade party given by
the young people of town at the
Mountain House on Friday evening
lr.>t was a very pleasant atiair.
There were twenty or more young
people masked, some presenting a
very attractive appearance while
others were adorned in satan's robe
and their ghastly appearance were
sullicient to frighten an old veteran.
Among those who were attractively
disguised, were: Miss LaPicrre
and Miss Shoemaker, summer guests
ol" the Mountain House. They were
dressed in white representing "two
sisters."' Mv. I), (jarrign.es of
Philadelphia and a summer guest of
Maplewood Cottage, was not >o at
tractively adorned but played liis
pari well and it wis a mystery to
main who the gentleman was. This
i
suspense was continued until the
party un-wasked. At this stage ofl
the game, it was remarkable to ol>-
serve the change of countenances of
the many young ladies who had mis
took there prey. The party was
pleasantly enjoyed by all present.
Excellent music was furnished by j
Ji. J Melli ury of Dushore, which!
added very much to the evenings I
entertainment.
The evening limit from Xord 1110111,
which arrives ut 8::i0 p. in. is a great
convenience to tlie people of this
vicinity.
It is rumored that John Utz Esq.,
01 Dushore, will come out as an in
dependent candidate for sheriff)
should lie be defeated for the nom
ination in the Democratic conven
tion. Mr. Vtz is a particular friend
and 11 pretty good worker for tbe Re
publican party .nd we will insure
him quite a number Republican votes,
should he announce himself an inde
pendent candidate for the many
favors shown the Republican party
in the past.
Mr. F. I'. llanssens, Mr. Hurry
j Poster and two sisters, Miss Anna
land Miss Ennna Foster, city guests
1 of Fairviiw voltage, took a pleasure
1 ride to FuglesMeve 011 Thursday last.
| They drove Clias Lauer's team with
| platform wagon. On their way to
j the' Mere while turning out for a
j team to pass they unfortunately up
set but fortunately 110 damage was
done. On their return to La Porte
they met little Sailor Lawrence, soil
of Wlll. Lawrence, at the blacksmith
shop and requested him to get in and
they would tak • him for a drive. They
drove up Main and down Muney
Sts., to opposite of the Green home
stead and there while in the act of
turning around upset the second
time The horses took fright ard
ran for several rods when one of the
animals fell. The occupants were
thrown out and :i 11 were quite ser
iously injured. Sailor was taken
from underneath the ruins and carri
ed home by Judge Ingham but never
uttered a cry, thus proving himself
a hero of the first water. Tne ladies
were assisted into the residence of
Chas. Landon who occupies the (Jroen
house where their injuries were cared
for by the many citizens who assem
bled at the pi ice of accident. Tho
party recovered suflicient, however,
to return to their city homes 011 Sat
urday. Sailor was confined to his
bed for several days but i3 now en
tirely well and enjoying his usual
out door sports. The accident was
'i frightful scene and was very care
lessly done and proves without doubt
that city people have but little knowl
edge of country driving. Our livery
men should furnish drivers on such
occasions.
The picnic to >'ordinont froiri
aloi.g the line of the Heading 1?. 11.,
on Saturday last was a decided MIC"
cess. There were ten coaches
and one baggage cai filled with sight
sw'i's, numbering eight huudrd.
They pi' nicked in the grove a short
distance above the Nordmont dam
\\ e visited the grounds during the
day and injoyed the good music furn
ished by the Montgomery brass band.
1h" party consisted of yoi'ng and
old and all seemed to enjoy the sport
very mucii. They picnicked in small
groups of from six to twenty persons
consequently the grove was liteily
covered with ta'>l'"s and all evidently
enjoyed a good hearty meal. The
farmers in the vicinity of Nordniont
at the suggestion of General Mana
ger, \\ elch, were on hand at the
grove with lumber wagons readv to
transport them to Lake Mokoma. A
i large number came up to view the
1 lake and were very much pleased
with the attractions. Among the
number who visitul Lal'brte were a
few roughs and while indulging in
there chosen passtime became a trifle
noisy and necessitated the Sheriff to
quiet the disturbance by threat* ning
the ruiidies (hat he would pull them
in, and on one occasion took from
his pocket a pair of iron bracelets
and but for the pleads of one or two
sober men in the crowd would have
placed them in sale quarters for the
night. On such occasions it is im
possible t > prevent a certain class
which is visible in all localities
and a disgrace to the same, from
joining, and we imagine that a very
large majority of those who compris
ed the excursion were disgusted with
the actions of those who were tilled
to tht brim and used disgraceful
language and could the> have had
their say would ha' e cooled them oil
in the deep waters of Lake Mokoma.
