The weather record for this sec

SAN FRANCIBCO, NOV. 24.—A local
papelr has the following dispatch
from Santa: The following dis

Edwards, Iloftman IlotlSe, New
York, to be forwarded to John L.
Sullivan: We will give SBO,OOO for
a fight to a finish between Sullivan
and -Jackson, to take place on the
beach near this city. Have written.
Sighed, Santa Crui Athletic Club.
Jackson is a colored gentleman.
Tllere is very milch need of a
chufch in the Bostian school dis
trict in Davidson tbwnship. Many
of our citizens who attended the fu
neral of Mrs. John Witmarsli held in
the Bchool house at that place Sunday,
were unanimous of this opinion.
The neighborhood is thickly settled
with Well-to-do farmers and a small
contribution from each one would
crest an edifice sufficient to accom
modate the wants of the people.

t The building of n town is not tfn
; like efforts of business men to en—
-1 large their business. In either case
it requires money and "push". If a
, man does not drive his business, it
will either drive him, or die. So
with the town the men of means
must show a spirit of enterprise,
I and improve the town, and make all
; possible effort to get business into
the town.
The freight agents along the line
of the W. &N. 8., were each pre
sented a Thnftksgiving turkey by
r the Lj'on's Lumber Company of
| llugbesville, on Tuesday last. The
gifts were presented in honor ot the
( f-espect shown the boys for pleasant
business relations in shipping lum
ber kc. The manipulators of the
phone, were agreeably surprised and
extend their many thanks to the
! company.
Try the plan of paying cash for
everthing you buy. Ifyotf have not
got the ready monej', borrow it.
The banker will loan it to you at a
less rate of interest than you will
have to prty the merchant for credit.
When merchants sell on time, with
out note aor security, they are forc
ed by necessity to cover their risks
by charging high for credit. It will
not pay you to make a banker of
your merchant. Pay him cash, even
if you have t3 borrow the money
with which to do it.
Don't throw your old rubber boots
and shoes away, says an exchange.
Save them for the agents of chewing
gum manufactories, who are now
buying them up in all parts of the
country. Pulverized rubber Itoots
ar.d overshoes, flavored with vanilla,
strawberry and other extract, make
the nicest chewing gum.
This is a pointer to the large
number of the fair sex who pass
their leisure hours in chewing the
vile substance.
The law paying a bounty for
the destruction of owls, hawks, etc.,
was repealed by the legislature, but
an act was passed which is now in
force, providing for the destruction
of foxes and mink. One dollar for
the former, twenty-five cents for the
latter. Proof to be made before a
Justice of the Peace as usual. We
have now for sale at this ollice (he
blanks necessary to l»e filled out,
framed in accordance with the new
law.
Judge Ikeler of Columbia county
lias madb th« following order con
cerning the transfer ofliqilor license:
"We are not satisfied with the prac
tice of this Court in the transfer of
liquor license. The act of May 13,
1887, containing no provision for
the transfer of license, hereafter all
transfer of the same will be ■ made
undef the act of April 20, 1858,
which is still in force." Under this
order the part}' to whom a license is
to be transferred will stand upon the
same basis as a hew applicant, ex
cept that the sutne need not be ad
vertised. The applicant will now
have to show that he is a suitable
person for the business.

The Army of Ddbr Slammnri.
"I am thankful very often," said
an Eagles Mere man recently, "that
my father taught ifle how to shut a
doof properly. It is something
very few people know how to do.
The great army of door stammers
teems to be oh the increase and
causes no end of annoyance. It is
a simple matter aftct* passing through
a door to turn around, take hold of
the knob and close it gently but
firmly, but comparatively lew prac
tice it. To do so is a mark of good
breeding, and I Certainly wonld not
employ a boy or a girl who either
slammed ft door, gave it a jerk to
close it or lett it standiug open.
The young people, however, are hot
the only ones who do not close
the doors properly. Many men and
| women who pretend to be people of
mauuefs arc the worst offenders."
) Tar smoke is recommended as a
cure for diphtheria. The treatment
is to put a few drops of tar, like that
used in ship yards, on a warm store
' lid, and require the patient to inhale
1 and swallow the smoke teu times a
■ day for five minutes each time. It
■ is said tbc experiment has been in
-1 variably successlul.
Father rind Daughter in State Prison.
I Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton is in
( the N. Jersey state prison, and her
father is in the same kind of an in
stitution in) Pennsylvania. The
Wyoming Democrat of last week
says: Wm. Steele, father of the
notorious Eva Ray Hamilton, was
the defendant in the case of Com.
vs. Wm. Steele, wliercin he is
charged with shooting at a young
man named Lutes of Monroe town
ship, with intent to kill. The evi
dence showed that after being put
out of a store by Lutes. Steele de
liberately drew a revolver and shot
at Lutes through the glass door of
the store, the fcafl striking near
where Lutes head had been an in
stant before. After being out a
short time the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty as charged in the
indictment, bfit recommended him
to tbe mercy of the court. He was
sentenced to pay a fine of five dol
lars, the cost of prosecution, and
undergo an imprisonment of one
year in solitary confinement at hart?
labor in the Eastern penitentiary.
Why The New Road Down Loyat
Sock Should bo Built.
MR. EDITOR : As there seems to
be a disposition by' some of the in
habitants of Forks township to de
fer the building of the new road
from Forksville to LaPorto, via
Loyal Sock &c : Allow me to pre
sent a few consideiations why this
important work should be early
commenced. The distance saved is
fully five miles. Now if we take'
the vote at the last election the
j townships of Hillsgrovc, Elkland
and Fox and Forks, West of the
Warburton Hill neighborhood we
find is about 540, representing more
than one-fourth of the population of
the whole county. And this popu
lation every time they travel to and
from LaPorte for business or pleas
ure ten miles unnecessary travel is
added to the journey, and in c»*«o
ot jurors and commonwealth wit--
uea.-ess, the county foots the bill.
Again the travel and traffic to
Eagles Mere will soon demand a
better road, it the road referred to
is built, a road from the county
bridge at the World's end could on
built along one branch of Double
Run reaching Eagles Mere in seven
miles from Forksville shortening the
distance nearly two miles, avoiding
hilly and dangerous road. This
road also would be on exceedingly
good grade.
i Competent judges are of the op--
inion that the portion of the road
in Folks township along the Loyal
Sock could be built for not over
$2,000, instead of $5,000 as some
have estimated. This is jjiso an
important road in bn ,_,«iig the
Eastern and Western portion of the
county nearer together* At present
it requires two days for some dele
gates to attend a political conven
tion. This of course can be en
dufed by the people but is hard on
the politicians. D. D.
