The boiler in Oodcharles t'o's!
nail Factory, Towanda, Pa., explod
ed 011 Tuesday afternoon and killed
live men and fatally injured two
others who will probably die. Four
otheis were.injured but not fatally.
Those killed were : Richard .ickley,
Sanford Smith, John Boeutwiek,
Isaac Bantl'ord and Guy Hceuian.
J. Ryder and Geoi Seebick will prob
ably die. T|ie cause of the explosion
'is supposed to have beeil low water
in the boiler.
The yoting and old people of La-
Porte, will give a basket picnic in the
park by the Meylert Mansion on
this (Tursitay) afternoon; and in the

brick Mansion. Judge Ingham,
owner of the building has kindly

house and the party of the season
is contemplated by all. Tie lawn
and verandas will be lighted by

T. J. Keeler, contractor for build
ing the scho'bl house at this place,
has Begun the excavation lor the
foundation. Owing to a scarcity of
dry lumber at the LaPorte saw mill
the erection of the building has been
postponed until next spring. The
foundation will be laid several feet l
high , similar to that of tlie new coun
ty building and will require some
time to complete it. We are Mi omised
that when the building is co. dieted
it will be by far the handsonleSv •ncl
best equipped school building in the
county."
A 8 post master we draw the line
on "licking" everVbodys stamps.
The Government never intended that
one man in a community should be
forced to such unkindly and unlim
ited treatment. During the Demo
cratic administration it might have
worked in some localities as it is re
peat. :!y said that Democrats have
more tongue to the square inch than
any other denomination in existence.
This we imagine would strike im
post master, Rutter, of Hughesville,
' right square in the mouth. No of
fense to home ex-oltteials.
The guests of the Mountain House j
drove Over to 'Fiester View' between '■
this place and Sonestown in a lum
ber \vagon on Friday and enjoyed a
picnic. They complained of the
jolt of the wagon being a trifle tire
soiiie. The city guests of LaPorte
are not as strong and health} - as
those who visit the 'Mere. It is a
common occurrence to see driving
into town a whole grist of Eagles-
Merc guests in lumber wagons that
would rattle the bones of a Sullivftn
county man so profusely that a phy
sician would necessarially have to be
called to replace them. Those 'Mere
guests evidently are 'dyed' young
but wc are willing to wager our hat
that tliey will not die young.
Labor Day Approaches.
The last session of the Legisla
ture set apart September the 2d as a
legal holiday, to be dedicated to
lalior, under the name of Labor Day.
Labor Day being a legal holiday in
this State, the banks will not open
for business, and consequently all
notes, drafts, bills, acceptances and
similar obligations maturing and
payable at banks on that day will be
clue on the previous business day.
As the holiday falls on Monday,
September 2d, the previous business
day will be Saturday, August 31st.
Descriptions of the hew postal
cards, which are soon to be issued
by the department, show that the
cards themselves will be beauties.
There will be three sizes when the
contracts have been filled. The
lirst of these will be much larger
than the one now in use and will be
the one used mainly by business
men. Its size will be sufficient to ad
mit of the printing of a business
card at the top and st ill allow plenty
of room for the message below. The
second Will be for brief notices and
the like. I'or the ladies, who arc
beginning to look much more favor
ably upon these mediums of com
munication, there will be a still
smaller one, liner in quality and
♦hore abthetic in appearance. The
old bull color gives way in the three
sizes to a whiter shade, which every
body w ill welcome.
