Porte spent Christmas week with his family at Fairview, N. J., re. turning on Friday last. Henry Kar3 T 30 couple. A pleasant time was enjoyed by all. An elegant supper was served at midnight which all enjoyed immensely. We are told by Dushore parties that the hair on the heads of the LaPorte juveniles will be as white as snow before the completion of the W. &. N. B. 11. R., to LaPorte. Just how much these foresightcd people know about this matter will be learned later. School marm's arrived in town by the dozen and by the baker dozens on Monday. Sullivan county can boast of a good supply and a pretty lot of lndy teachers. The gentle men engaged in this profession in Sullivan ure—well we never was j much on the flatter}' so we will just : pass them by. j The shooting match on Tuesday Dec. 24, at this place was well at tended but no extraordinary shoot ing was the result. Atty. Dunham as usual captured three prizes and August Buschhausen shouldered three prizes, and went home rejoic ing. A. A. Baker won the I8!b. turkey. County Superintendent, M. R Black, is deserving of much credit i for energies shown to make the lu | stitutc a success. The Prof, has j secured the assistance of four in ! structors—Prof. Cass, of Tioga county, Prof. B. E.James of Mont rose, Prof, llenry R. Sanford, of Syracuse, and Prof. Dr. A. R. Home of Allentown all of whom are ex cellent instructors. The party given by Mrs. M. C. Lauer at tne Hall on Christmas eve. was participated in by about 20 couple. The evening was very pleasantly spent by those who joined in the entertainment. The best of order prevailed for which both the Ist and 2d ward boys are entitled to much credit. At 11:30 p. m. supper was announced at the Mountain House where all proceeded and en joyed a hearty and pleasant repast. A gentleman school teacher in at tendance at the Institute was fear fully frightened the other evening while taking a promenade on our streets. The scene took place on the corner of King and Meylert St's. The obsticle which caused the fright are worn by the fair sex and resembled a 'bustle'which laid on the pavement and had evidently lost its owner. The gentleman looked about for a corpse but made no discovery. Brother Streby of the Dushore Gazette has recently purchased a Campbell cylinder press Rnd now grinds out his brains by hand. A buck nigger is said to be the best power to twist one of those "man killers" with. You see the thing is turned by a "crank" and when the forms strikes the impression it weighs heavy on a roan's back bone. Streby in time will putin an engine in which event it will be worth a compliment. There is much sound sense in this statement and it will apply to many individuals; our own town not ex cepted. It is written by an un known writer. "Whether you are man or woman, never talk about yourself unless you are asked to do so very particularly. The large end of a horn usually represents the interest we take in ourselves. The small end drawn out to a point, represents the interest other people take in us." The two prisoners Dewitt and Ezra Shultz of Bradford county, who are confined in the county jail at this place carelessly up-set the stove In the cell on Tuesday morning which at the time was red-hot. They at once threw on water and in less than a second the room was filled with steam and smoke. They un doubtedly imagined that their time had come, judging from their moans heard at a distance. Turn-key Thomas entered the cell and with the as sistance of the convicts made right the difficulty. The REPUBLICAN receives com pliments dai'y for its neatness in print and its newsy columns. We think the REPUBLICAN is a trifle the best paper published in the county. Do you see anything strange about that ? The Christmas tree held at the M. E. church at this place on the even ing of Christmas in honor of the little ones, was pleasantly enjoyed by all. The little folks recited and sang in chorus which was appreciated by ' parents and honored by bystanders. After the recitations had been gone through with the presents which hung on the tree in large numbers were read off and presented to the children which seemed to be their part of the pleasure realized in the evening's exercises. The lecture in honor of the teach ers' institute to be delivered by Dr. A. R. Home of AUentown this Thursday evening in the Court House is destined to be one of the best ever listened to by our people. Dr. Home will lecture on "Useful i Knowledge," and will illustrate the same by experiments. All should attend the lecture and assist a good cause—Price of admission 25c. The proceeds of which will be used to defray a part of the expenses occured by the teachers' institute. A full house is requested. John Appleman of Nordmont, who is somewhat involved fin.in ciall}-, disappeared last week taKing with him two match team of horses, owned by him but were about to be levied upon by the Sheriff. It is said by his creditors that had he re mained at home and allowed the Sheriff tc on and make a levy there would have been ample per sonal property to have paid off all claims and a small surplus for his own use. This end would have been brought about by the assist ance of Mr. Chas. Reeder one of his creditors. It is rumored now that it will take his farm and all personal property to make his creditors good. The people of Dushore enjoyed a free show in Carey's Hall last week and immediately after the per formance was over the manager would announce a dance—three sets for a quarter. On Thursday night four young ladies engaged the music and invited four young gents of Dushore to join in the galy occasion.! The boys accepted the invitation. The price for music (which was com posed of one or two of the showman) was agreed upon at $3. The "select" meet in the Hall at the usual hour for arriving at parties and enjoyed the passtimc for several hours when the contribution box was passed to settle for music and Tic, realized. Dancing ceased. We will give the names of the participants in our next issue. We have it from good authority that the W. k N. 8., will be built to LaPorte, positively certain, during the coining summer. It is a notice able fact that there is considerable stir in railroad circles about this section and there is no reason to doubt but that there is some truth in the above assertion. We trustt however, that there is more correct ness in our statement than there was in the report of railroad news given by Rutter of the Iltighesoille Mail in his issue of Dec. 20. Wherein he says that a "large force of men are engaged in grading fVom Nordmont to Beraice." This is entirely untrue and caused much laugh here when rend in a public place on the day of the arrival of said paper. This state ment by Rutter, however, is just about as near correct as he is in the habit of informing his readers. Hon. Charles W. Stone, Secretary of the Commonwealth, said to a newspaper correspondent: "You can say that lam a candidate for Governor." This means that Mr. Stone is going into tbe fight with a determination to win, and does not want to be considered a dark horse. At present Senatoi Delamater, Gen - eral Hastings, Major Montooth, and Secretary Stone are in the field. All good men and true, staunch expon ents of Republican principles, well fitted for leadership, and sure to land the party a winner next Nov. Where is the Republican party in any State that is so rich in material ' for gubernatorial candidates ? i The recent epidemic which is caus ing many deaths in the old world is playing havoc over there. Deaths are numbered by hundreds. In Australia the malady prevails among horses. Ezra and Dewitt Shultz brothers, of near Overton, Bradford county, were arrested on Thursday last for burg larizing the store of Clias Wanck of Forks twp., Sullivan county and were brought to LaPorte on Satur day Dec. 28, and placed behind the prison bars. The goods stolen amounted to some SSO. A lively time ensued when constable Hunsingcr of Forks entered or at tempted to enter tke home of the convicts to make the arrest. He was COH Iron ted by a revolver point ed straight at his eye held by the grip of the wife of one of the Shultzs. He retired and secured the assistance of Chauncey S. Hot tenstein and R. W. Norton who entered the building and arrested the third brother Charley but at the bearing no proof of his guilt could be sustained and he was given his freedom. The two brothers now in Jail were arrested on the public ioad while returning from Towanda, and were brought to LaPorte by Norton nnd llottenstcin; constable Hun singer arguing that he was other wise engaged. Lincoln Edkin of Davidson twp., who escaped from the Sullivan coun ty jail on Wednesday Dec. 17th, a full account of which was given in our last issue, is still amohg the people of the world enjoying his freedom. It is rumored that he is rusticating with friends and relatives near his home and that he has re peatedly sayd "that the first person who attempts to arrest him and bring liiiu back to jail, he will inHict upon his person wounds of serious nature." Notwithstanding these threats, however, we are informed that an officer accompanied by one assistant will appear tipon the scene and if in their power will return the escaped to cell No. 1, mmm The people of Sullivan county are becoming tired of reading accounts of convicts escaping from our ill constructed jail and we have heard it remarked by tax payers at least a half dozen times within the past ten days that our county should and can afford a jail of credit to our county. It is merely a waist of time for the court to sentence a convict to serve a term in prison in Sullivan county. The first issue of the county papers after the sentence of the court imposed upon a criminal at Dec. T. brought him the news that the con vict had escaped from the prison and was enjoying his freedom. These statements which are frequent are a disgrace to the residents of our count}' and will never cease until we have erected a jail fitted lor the pur pose it is constructed for. The one in use at present is four cells on the lower floor of the Court House building inclosed with brick and simply a plastered ceiling over-head. We doubt if there is a county in the state so miserably represented by prison bars as Sullivan county. The Grand Jury at several terms of court have urged that there be a jail built worthy of the name but the request has never been given a thought by the proper officials. Prohibition League and Mass Meeting. There will be a grand rally of the Prohibitionists of Sullivan county at Forkaville on Jan. oth, 1890. MR.
