Are you not ashamed to borrow your neighbor's paper when you can < be independent and Wave it sent to , you a whole year for $1.25? Sub- j ( scribe now. j < The change in the county ad-,. ministration made it quite lively at i the county seat this week. Ihe I friends of the old were not caressed j by the new. t The report of the last National Sabbath School Convention shows that Pennsylvania leads in the num ber of schools and number of teach ers and scholars. A month or two of good solid winter •would purily the atmosphere and decrease the sick list which at present reaches a very large number throughout this section. Duncan Kennedy of Towanda •will take charge of the East To wanda House during the present month. Mr. Kennedy was former ly a resident of LaPorte.

Tallie Morgan, editor of The I'eojtle, Scranton, Pa., who is presi dent of the Prohibition League of Penna. will deliver a Prohibition address at Fork&ville to-day Thurs day. One of the latest applications of electricity is the making of a floor mat that throws out heat—an elec tric heater, in fact, in the form of a mat. An excellent device for warm ing the toes.

The debate between Gladstone and Secretary Blaine, in the North American Review, has been aptly termed "a battle of giants." Two , more prominent and distinguished j disputants would be hard to find. The county commissioners favor j the idea of lining cue or more of, the cells in the county jail with heavy iron which they arjjue will J make the cell more secure and will prevent the escaping of so many , convicts. The HKPIBWCAN solicts correa- j pondenc from every town, village j and hamlet in Sullivan county. e ! have a number of good news-gather- j ers, and would like to hear lroin 1 them weekly, and if you don't get a ! half column of news, send us what | you have.

Monday Jan. 13th, is the time set by the Sheriff and Jury Commis sioners for filling the Jury box and drawing the Jury for February terra. This work should have been done on the firet Monday in Jan nary but owing to the absence of Jury Commissioner llaas, on this date, it was postponed until the above date. The Spring election is only a little over five weeks off, and it is there fore proper to commence discussing available candidates. The local of fices of the borough or township are generally of a great deal more in terest to citizens than any others, and if you have any choice it is not too early to begin making your selections. The REPUBLICAN job department has the facilities for printing neat and attractive sale bills second to no other oflice in the county. All sales for which the bills are printed at this office are given a notice in the local columns. This is often worth more than the bills as the REPUBLI CAN'S wide circulation gives the sales mentioned therein great publicity. "La Grippe"—the Russican in fluenza, an epidemic that effects people with sore throat, cold in the head, high fever,and the like, is said '.o have madi its appearance in La- Porte, and'the fashionable thing for every body to do now is to sneeze and vigorously use the bandanna. Experts say that while it is highly contagious it is not fatal and does not leave any bad results. To find a parallol for the mild weather of this winter, a Ilarrisburg paper goes back to 1828. A dis patch from Bellefonte to the Penn sylvania Gazette of February 16, 1828, says that the peach trees in that town were ia full bloom, and that the weather had been mild and unusually wet. Another payer dated February 23, of same year, mentions that at Boston the goose berries blossomed and ripened at Christmas. Our subscription list is increasing] weekly. During Institute week wc added eight new subscribers to our enrollment book. Huntingdon county for the past three years has been a local option county, not a single license has been granted during that time. The landlords throughout the entire county will apply for license at this February term of court. They say that during the three years of local Prohibition in said county, there has been more drunkenness and es pecially among boys, than there ever was known before. It is believed by the public that the landlords will be successful in obtaining their license. A Lock Haven bachelor says that all he should ask for in a wife would be a good temper, health, good un derstanding, agreeable physiognomy, figure, good connection, domestic habits, resources of amusement, good spirits, conversational talents, elegant manners and money. Fie should have added a pair of nice white wings, and then the Lock Haven girls would not need to bother about catching such an impelious old calf. A new and quite interesting race question is reported from the South, this time it being the colored people who are objecting. In the Clark University, a young white man, a relative 01 the matron, is quartered near the girl's dormitory and the colored students vigorously disap prove. So emphatic have they be come in their expressions of disap proval that some of them have been arrested. The dispatches report that the objectionable white youth is good looking, and the colored beaux evidently are unwilling that he should have any other advantage over them. An important stage in the judicial j contest was reach#*! on Saturday, when the arguments came to a close. The question is now entirely in the hands of the commission, composed of Judges Mayor, Hue her and Rocke feller, who will doubtless address themselves to its solution as earl}* as possible. Owing to their judicial duties in their own districts, the judges had to adjourn for the pres ent, and will not re-convene until the 17th of this month. As they notified the counsel to be present on the 18th, there is a possibility that there may be something important developed ut that time.— Gazette and Uulletin. The new county oflicers took pos session on Monday. John Utz is the new Sheriff and Prothy. Al phonsus Wal-h succeeds himself. Sherill Tripp retires with the good will of all and carries with him the record ol being a faithful, competent and obliging officer. During his career of serving the people of Sulli van, officially, he has made for him self hosts of friends who will not forget the Sheriff for years to come. Dr. Hill is the new Coroner who takes the place of Dr. Herrmann who was appointed to lill the vacancy by the resignation of the same by Hon. W. Wadded at the election of 1888 when he was elected to repre sent the people of Sullivan at Har risburg. We trust that the new of fieers will retire with as fair a repu tation as those who proceeded them. A. A. Baker of Lal'orte twp., Las recently rented the Ring property at Ringville in LaPorte twp., and will take possession of the same on or about the middle of next month. Mr. Baker will re-model the interior of the dwelling and will make such other improvements on the exterior as are needed for ttie appearance of the property. Mr. Baker will ap ply for hotel license at this term of c Mirt. Previous to this announce* ment he has taken the pains to in vestigate the feeling of the residents of La Porte twp., in relation to his applying for license and has yet to find the first person to oppose him in obtaining the same. Mr. B. is a | sober, obliging industrious man and should he be successful in his un dertaking will no doubt prove the right man in the right place. There can be no doubt but that a public house is necessary at this point and it is understood that Mr. Baker will 1 present a petition to the court sign ed by tax payers of LaPorte twp., of considerable length. Sheriff Tripp accompanied l>y« Dep't. Sheriff'R. M. Storaont an(i| Clias. Lauer, the latter furnishing conveyance, left town on Friday for the express purpose of re-capturing the escaped convict, Lincoln Edkin. Their plan was to drive by the house occupied by Edkin in Lycom ing county and observe the passages of escape. They did this and only observed one door in the house. On passing the house several rods they wheeled about and returned, the Sheriff" and his Dep't. lighted from the vehicle and not waiting for preliminaries threw open the door and entered. They observed a man in the room who was barber ing a little girl's hair. The Sheriff rushed to his side caught him by his shoulder and holding his head up asked the deputy if he was the man. Before an answer was given the officials heard a window drop in an adjoining room. They ran out side just in time to give their man in pursuit, 8 rods in the lead. The Sheriff' made a desperate struggle to capture his would be man, but only made a few leaps when he fell owing to a crippled leg nursed by him. Deputy Stormont continued the chase to the woods accompanied by Chas. Lauer, and fired several shots in the air and at the same time giving tongue to hault. The "once i a prisoner" who had realized a few days in the county prison, could not j see it that way, and the u "der the deputy made his wants known the faster he took to his heals. He ra'i to the woods and was soon lost sight of by his pursuers. The boys returned to the county seat on the same night and were quite bash ful in relat ing their experience. The Census of 1800. The work of taking the national census will not be commenced for some time yet, as when the machin ery is all ready the job can be fin ished in a few weeks. For this state there are ten districts, and ten supervisors are to be appointed. This county is included with the Sixth district, consisting of Sulli van, Bradford, Cameron, Centre, Cleartield, Clinton, Elk, Lycoming, McKeun, Potter, and Tioga. The United States Senators control the alipoiutment of supervisors and the Congressmen enumerators. The latter officials will receive their ap pointments some time in February. ■—♦ * For Sale or Exchange.

Overtaken in ihe Woods, He Attempts to Jump From a Moving Train, George Shippey, a notorious horse thief and murderer who escaped from jail at Tunkhannock about a month ago, was captured last week in a strip of woods near Uniondale, Lackawanna county. Three detec tives learned that he had visited a relative, but under cover of night j escaped to the woods. When the detectives came up to him they cover, ed him with revolvers. Shippey was desperate and showed fight. He came near overpowering all tlnee men. His captors felled him to the ground with a limb of a tree. He was securely fastened by a rope and taken in a wagon to Carbondale, where he spent the night. Wednes day morning he was put on a train going to Tunkhannock and hand culled.
