He arose early on the morn ing above mentioned dressed himself and descended to his study where he was found shibrtly afterwards dead. The Governor will fill the vacancy by Appointment. There are many ap (plicants in the field. Our night mail by the way of the W. & N. 8., has been a complete failure for the past ten days. What is the cause ? "Nothing new" is what the re porter is told when he enquires for HCWS, and yet the readers expect lots of news when nothing is happen ing. llussel Earns of L&Porte, visited Williamsport on Saturday and was treated for rheumatism by I)r. Hunt of that eity. The treatment proved beneficial to Mr. Earns. J. H. Thomas of LaPorte, g!iVe a shooting match for turkeys on Thursday Nov. 28. Five turkeys were shot for. The winners were : Atty.

The Jen nings Bros, are exceedingly good business men and are reaping a grand harvest financially. Col. John Sohieski, of Missouri delivered a good templars address in the M. E. church at. this place on Saturday evening. His object was to organize a lodge of Good Tem plars but failed to get the desired number of signers. His lecture was pronounced excellent by all present. The law extending the term of constables from one to three years applies to such constables as are elected at the coming February election and hot to those elected a year ago. Assessors elected last February Vrill hold office three years. With the opening of the shooting season the death roll has begun to lengthen. The number of men and boys who have either maimed or killed themselves since the beginning of the present open season is appal ling. It was to have been expected. Gunning and accidents are insejJar able. it is reported according to the VVilkes-Barre Rectfird tlint the pals* 'of Red Nosed Mike have becti con- Victed and sentenced in the Italian ccuits, one to life imprisonment, and the other to twenty years. It is not known positively that this report is true, luit District Attorney Dart «)f Lnzer'ne county, lorwarded to the Italian authorities all the evidence at his disposal, and it is probable that they have been convicted as above. Already combinations nre being formed for the Presidential catt'i paign of 1892. Grovter Cleveland has approached Governor-elect Campbell of Ohio to have him ac cept the nomination frtr Vice-Fresl deut, and he is willing. It is said Governor Hill of New York, is very angry with Cleveland for doing so. "Cleveland and Campbell" ought to make a harmonious ticket if there is anything in a name. Gus Smith of Forksville, is a liberal hearted man. We were told on Wednesday that he has donated morC clean cash to the overseers of the poor of Forksville borothan any other person residing therein, for the year 1889. He made them a present of a small wager at their re guest, shortly after the recent elec tion. Guss will no doubt use this as an electioneering scheme next Fall. Nothing like assisting the poor with a sincere heart. Lopez, the new lumber city in Sullivan county, is commanding a a great deal or' newspaper comment just now, and many persons are making big investments in lumber and other trades. Three years ago where the town now stands it was a howling wilderness, nftw it con tains over 1000 inhabitants and has bright prospects for future prosperi ty. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is about erecting a round house there.— Muncy Luminary. Vfrill Not be Arrestee*. The case of Edward Callaghan against T. V. Powderly, J. R. Byrne and Peter Wise, all prominent Knights of Labor, for conspiracy, came Hp belore Justice Merritt at Scottdale, Pa., on Nov. 30th. After hearing Callaghan's evidence Justice Merritt decided that it was not suf ficient to hold the defendants for court and the case was dismissed: There will be no necessity now for the arrest of Mr. Powderly. The horse owned by J. Harvey King of LaPorte twp., which we re cently mentioned had been kicked by Mr. Pardoe's horse of Elkland | and its leg broken, was killed by Mr. King last week. The horse while in the act of laying down j broke the fractured limb so that it i hung loose 011 its body proving it | worthless. The horse was a valu- I able beast and Mr. King feels the ldss very much. A short time ago the W. C. T. IT., organization of Tulikhannock re solved to arrest barbers of said place who followed their profession on Sunday. They made oue arrest last week aud the barber pled guilty. The Democrat in commenting on the same says: "If the W. C. T. U., would look after and suppress other evils in our borough more injurious to the morals of the place they would confer a much greater benefit upon the community. The bottling of lager beer and the sale of intoxi cating liquors 011 the Sabbath, as well as gambling, are more serious obstacles in the way of morality and good citizenship than the shaving of dead men, or even liVe men, on Sun day." A prominent temperance gentle man in town gives it as his opinion that the proper way to handle the liquor question would be as follows: "Let the United States Government dissolve partnership with the liquor business by repealing the internal revenue laws. Then give every man the right to manufacture and sell liquor that wants to. Rut if a man is found drunk on the streets, then imprison him untill he tells who Bold him liquor to make him intoxi cated* Then, he says, there should be a law passed making a heavy tine and imprisonment lor the person or persons selling any one enough liquor to make them intoxicated. In this way the gentleman says lie feels satisfied that not many drunken men would be seen on the streets as the liquor sellers would be very care ful not to sell a person enough liqUor to put any one under its influence.—F: e.

The owner is re quested to call and prove property pay costs and remove the same, otherwise it will be sold according to law. G. W. BIOOEK. Shrewsbury twp., Nov. I'J, 18S0. Under a recent law of this Com monwealth, passed to prevent a de terioration of stock by animals run ning at large, it was enacted that no stallion, bull, ram, jack ot boar shall be permitted to run at large on the public highway of the State. Any person who finds such animals run ning at large may impound them, advertise them within a period of ten days in one weekly newspaper for two weeks, and if the animal is not redeemed within twenty days after such public notice and all damages and costs paid, besides one dollar to the impounder, it shall l»e sold at public sale and the amount realized, less costs and charges, be paid to the treasurer of the School district Where the animal was taken up. The young folks of LaPorte, gave a party in the Hall on Thursday evening Nov. 28th. The party was represented by a goodly number of our young people who were enjoy ing a good time when their fun at About 11 p. m.was somewhat inter-- fdred with by the presence of sev eral intruders who had to some extent been indulging in "fire water." The new comers seated themselves at the west end of the Hall and were only present a short time when they became very restless and were exceedingly anxious to show their strength. The manager ot the Hall requested them to keep quiet but they refused, when they were picked up body and britches and removed from the dancing depart ment to the entrance way like a flash of lightning. Here a free-for all combat was indulged in ami several black eyes were the result. Such work is a disgrace to our to«vn and should not IMJ tolerated by the proper officials. People who in such a state crowd themselves into private circles should be taught to act the part of a gentleman or be re moved by the proper officials to the place provided by the county u The terrible condition of oitt roads every fall and spring causing great inconvenience and in many cases entire cessation of travel and much loss should arouse the people into devising and procuring some method of road making that will iit least give some return for the money ' expended in this direction. The < present systems of road working and ' road taxing are alike, defective and expensive, for where roads are made by digging useless ditches and throwing the surplus dirt into the , centre of the road, where it makes ( when rain comes an unfathomable mass of mud and in dry weather a cloud of choking dust, both of which are to say the least inconvenient, disagreeable and destructive to horse, wagon and harness, your road is wretched and jour money wasted. Good roads can be and should be hud, especially in this country which abounds in good material for i making roads. There is only one efllcient way to make good and durable country roads, and that is by breaking stone into small pieces and filling in with the chips and stoue dust that accumulate while breaking the stone. A bed made in this manner and topped oir with red shell or a light covering of a hard blue clay will last for years and al ways be m good shape with very little repairing. Some steps should be taken in this direction at once, . and it does seem that the amount of money expended in our township every year, should entitle the tax payers to better roads as above de scribed. It tte cannot build but a mile or two a year we would- be making some progress and in time would get the whole completed. While at the same time the taxpay ers would see some result for the annual amount he expends for this purpose. Pronounced Insane. John Harris who was hold for trial at the December term of court, on the charge of stealing a horse, of Mrs. Wildrick, of New Albany township, an account of which ap peared in the Republican , has been Cutting up all sorts of pranks in the county jail here, and the first of the week was pronounced insane by two physicians who examined him. On Tuesday he was taken to the Coun try 1 House, at Burlington, where he ' will be kept for a short time and if his condition is not improved, will be removed to the insane asylum, at Danville.— Bradford Republican.

The Chapel near the Allegheny j hcuse is so far completed that it is now used for Sabbath Schools aud other religious meetings. Prayer meetings on each Sabbath and Wed nesday evening and preaching 011 each alternate Sunday morning. The house is well calculated to meet the wants of the place for winter . use. The Baptist church at a busi ness meeting held on Saturday last voted to place subscription books in the hands of .Mr. Miles of Philadel phia and Mr. E. A. Rawley of Willi- ' amsport, to solicit subscriptions for ! the building of u suitable edifice to ' accommodate the Church and visitors ( who desire to worship with them * during the summer season. It is 6 found that a very large number of those who come to this place for a summer resort are church going people. The owners of cottages being nearly all active church work ers, and zealous in this work at Eagles Mere. The Baptists who un til the recent buildinig up of this village struggled for many yea rs almost alone in sustaining the cause greatly appreciate the timely help this transient population have given them in aiding to erect a Chapel and hope in the near future to be able to occupy a home large enough to accommodate their full share of summer visitors* ** * \ FURNITURE X UNDERTAKING.
