LAPOBTE, PA MARCH 14th, 1890. LOCAL DEPARTMENT Garden seeds are in the market, St. Patrick's Day next Monday. Sunday was a beautiful spring like day. Our best friends are not those who come with taffy. Mrs. C. C. Parries of LaPorte, is ill with a severe cold. The nail works at Northumberland have again resumed work. Lron-)ike was the opening of the month, what will the closing be ? New ads this week : T. J. Keeler and Hotel Kennedy. Read # them. Mrs. Jos. Barrows of LaPorte, is confined to her room with sickness. The thaw and rain on Tuesday spoiled the sleighing in this section. Mrs. Sinclair, sister of J. C.

Philip Karge of LaPorte twp., was the first person to bring new maple sugar to the LaPorte market. March has proven to be the first winter month of the season. She certainly has reversed her complex ion. It is reported that the wheat crop will be excellent this year. This Will be gratifying news to every body. The new two-cent stamps are con siderable smaller than the old ones and in consequence, are easier to lick. It is now time to commence look ing after those sap troughs and get ting things in readiness for making maple sugar. Charley Lauer who has been ill for the past ten days, has recovered BO as to be out again. Charley had a pretty hard seige of it. Towanda is already agitating a base ball club next summer. Mon roeton say they will knock them out on the first round. Go in lemons. Mrs. John llassen of LaPorte, who has been confined to her bed for the past month with pneumonia, result ing from the la grippe, is slowly recovering. There is a law to proteet animals from cruelty at the hands of their master. Bark haulers and teamsters should give this bit of information important attention. A large number of young people of the 2d ward took a sleigh ride to Dushore, on Saturday evening. They were the guests of Hotel Car roll and report an elegant time. Sunday was a busy day at the county scat. No less than 8 or 10 teams were engaged in hauling ice and a large force of men were at work on Lake Mokoma, cutting the same. Prof. F. W. Mcylert of LaPorte, principal of the Forksvillo graded school, accompanied by Mr. Wm. Collins of Forksville, were calling on friendsat the county seat, on Saturday. A petition is being circulated in N. Y., asking for the pardon of Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, who was con victed of atrocious assault upon nurse Mary Donnelly, at Atlantic City, in August last. Rev. H.

The borough and township officers except school directors, elected Feb. 18th, entered upon their official duties the first Monday in March, as required by a recent act of assembly. The school directors begin their term on the first Monday in June. The Bloomsburg Republican gave' the Hon. Wm. Krickbaum, a pretty hard racking over, last week. We trust that the appointments of census enumerators of Sullivan county will be of benefit to the Re publican party in the future. Benj. Crossley of LaPorte, has been confined to his room with sick ness, for the past ten days. He is able to be out now, however. A corps of eugineers in the em ploy of the North Mountain Land' Company is surveying a route for a branch road from Central to Baum town OD the West Branch of Fish ing Creek. It is reported that the tannery at Jamison Cit}' has been purchasedj by Proctor of Boston. If this be] true, it indicates that the enterprise j will be pushed as Mr. Proctor has| both experience and capital. It is said that, people of Dushore, who arc edicted to the use of tobac- I co, solicit more of the golden weed ! by the common remark of "give me a chew" than any other town of its size in the State. Prof. M. F. Albert, principal of the Normal ot Watsontown, and formerly of LaPorte, delivered an educational address at Benton, Columbia county, on March Ist. Mr. A. is spoken of very highly, as an instructor, by the press. What is the good of a fall of snow at this season of the year. The sun is so high that at the most, it can only remain but a few days. If the lumbermen agree, less petition not to have any more snow this season. What do you say ? Ex-County Commissioner George i Albert Esq., of Cherry, who has been visiting his son M. F. Albert, principal of the Watsontown Normal School, for the past week,! passed through town en-route for his home, on Tuesday. Tl;e undersigned will sell cheaply, for cash, the kitchen and dinning room furniture now in use at the Clark house, LaPorte boro.—Con sisting of 1 "Good Morning" range No, 8, kitchen and extension tables, dinning room chairs, dishes, kitchen utensils etc. For information ap ply at the house of A. Logan Grim. MHS. IHAUELLE STANLEY. At a recent date a law has been passed requiring the U. S., to pay for war vessels that were sunk during the war of 1812. Captain Tidd, grandfather of John S. Green dee'd. late of LaPorte, Was the owner of several vessels which were capsized ' and it is rumored that to the heirs of the said Mr. Green will fall the 1 large legacy. • ( Prominent Republicans of New ] York are discussing a project to , elect Chauncey M. Depew Mayor of that city next November, Governor of the State in 1891 and then nomi- I nate him for President in 1892. It < is argued that Depew's connection with railroads would end with his ■ election to the mayoralty of New i York. As mayor he could Republi- < canize all the city departments and i render himself invincible as a can- j didate for Governor. Once in the i Gubernatorial chair he would be in i a direct line for Presidential pro- < motion. : Sheriff Utz assisted by C. E. 1 Jackson of Bernice, transported 1 Sharpe, the convicted prisoner from ! the Sullivan county jail to the 1 Eeastern Penitentiary at Philadel- ' phia on Wednesday of last week. C. E. Jackson returned on Saturday evening and the Sheriff accompanied by his son Fred returned on Tues- ' day. The Sheriff took Fred along for the purpose of having an opera tion performed upon an ulcer on his cheek bone caused by being hit by a base ball some years ago. Mr. Philander Reynolds of Bing hamton, N. Y., will please accept , our thanks for a copy of the Recha bite a temperance sheet published at the above named city. The many friends of Mr. Reynolds will be pleased to learn that he has joined the temperance cause and' is num bered among the liveliest and best workers for its success in the city of Binghamton. "Rechabite" is the name of a temperance order and was organized in the store of Mr. Reynolds at a recent date, said gentlemen calling the meeting to order. The paper contains a story written by Mr. R. of his past ex perience and is highly interesting. 1 Atty. A. L. Grim, of LaPorte, ' was engaged in trying cases in the Lycoming county courts, last week He appeared for the defendant and was successful. Monday March 10th was legally' the day for the auditors to audit the accounts of the borough and town ship officers. LaPorte twp., com plied with the law but the borough auditors like their predecessora con sider the business trifling and when • tliej* are not otherwise engaged will look nftcr the matter. The Wyoming Democrat is still wliinning over the result of the 1888 election. We would suggest that that paper hud better confine its | political remarks to home affairs. | During the past three years the ■ political complexion of Wyoming county has reversed and now gives a Republican majority increasing i each year, hence the editorials ap | pearing in said paper has and is proving fruitless. Atty. 11. T. Downs who was ap-| pointed Deputy Treasurer by Coun ty Treasurer Lorah in 1888 sent in his resignation on Saturday last, I owing to increase business out side of this office. Mr. J. Hairy Spencet' was appointed to fill the vacancy by Mr. Lorah and entered upon his new field of labor Monday morning. Owing to the fact that the time of, holding land Sales is drawing nigh, the new deputy will be kept pretty! busj' preparing the list for publica tion. Many of our people and especially those who are seeking the appoint-! i ment of census enumerators will be anxious to take a glance at the por-| trait of their anticipated Supt., Cap-; tain P. D. Brisker, census supervisor | lof the 6th district. For this reason ! we have secured the same and give! it elsewhere in this issue together J with a sketch of his life. We take but little stock in giving portraits of noted men, but as the Captain will make many a man's heart glad and full twice that number forlorn, in our oounty, we think it only right that they should have a chance to smile or frown upon his printed ! countenance. The original, we im agine, would not do l'or the latter. Valuable Clay Deposits. Thomas Stafford claims to have found valuable deposits of clay for' making chinaware on Pine Creek, in! Lycoming county, and has secured j ninety-five acres with a view of having the clay beds developed, lie says lie has proved one bed three thousand feet square and yesterday displayed samples of the clay at this oflice. He proposes to have these sainplos thoroughly tested.— Milton Record. Newell of the Dushore Review in his last week's issue says Sullivan county does not need a new jail. By this assertion of Newell, citizens who are acquainted with the wants and necessities of the county, will at once perceive that the Jievieio man is not thoroughly versed with the needs of our people. We prove this assertion by the fact that two or three grand juries, each composed of 24 good reliable tax payers, have recommended a new jail. The one now in use composed of four cells in the basement of the Court House, is surely a disgrace to the tax payers of our county. Marks of escaped convicts re-covered, can be seen on the ceiling, floor and through the walls. We venture to say that there has been no less than twenty prison ers escaped from this frail and worthless structure. Newell you had better retract. Dushore will never bo the county seat of Sulli van, Its Dying Efforts The Louisiana lottery swindlers arc looking to the new States of the Northwest for a charter which shall give them a new lease of life. No doubt its owners would be willing to give manj* millions of dollars for the continuance of a privilege by which they can clear nearly twenty millions of dollars each year. It is time, however, that this mons trous swindle be swept out of exis tence. It should not be allowed to fasten itself on the Northwest for even a brief term, which it would spend no end of money to have lengthened. Louisiana has refused to renew the charter. Collector—"When are you going to pay this bill ? I can't be cotning here every day in the week." Debtor—''Well, what day could 3011 come on, conv6iiientlj r ? "I could call 011 Saturday." "All right; from now 011 I shall expect you every Saturday." K. M. Stormont, deputy sheriff, was called to the extreme southern part of Shrewsbury township on of* licial business, on Saturday last. The object of his visit was to an'esfc a certain individual in that locality for trespassing and cutting valuable timber off from a tract of land owned by an individual of LaPorte. The trespasser was aware of the fact that officials were on his track and ar ranged matters accordingly. He lives alone in a very small dwelling erected for the occasion on the mountain several miles above Qlen Mawr. The deputy drove to within several rods of the building where he tied his horse and proceeded to the gentleman's residence 011 foot. When he got in sight of the structure he perceived the gentleman standing in the door way where he remained until the sheriff came up to within ten leet of his person, when he stepped inside and bolted the door. Theoflicer of the law advanced and at tempted to push the door in but with no avail. He then went to a window 1 containing two eight by ten window ' pains, which by the way was the j only means of admitting the rays of ' sun light, and had a confidential conversation with his would-be-man. He plead hard for admittance, but no ! go. The old fellow sat by the stove I with an old army over coat on as unconcerned as though he was a ; shepherd just returned from looking j after his llock. lie positively re fused to open the door saying that he knew why he was there, and that , he did not intend to accompany him jto LaPorto that day. They finally I compromised the matter by a prom ise that he would come to LaPorte | on Monday March the 10th and ar range matters satisfactory with all concerned. The cigarette nuisance is still urn 1 abated and the evil is bocoming so wide-spread that legislation is invok ed to remedy it. According to an exchange, in Maryland, prominent men of the state have taken hold of the matter, and as a result of their efforts a bill is now pending in the legislature affecting its sale. The extent of this evil in every state of the Union is far beyond tbe general conception Legislation on the evil does not seem to be the proper remedy. Pennsylvania has a law prohibiting its sale to boys under 16 years of age, but it is no uncommon thing to see boys of a tender age pulling a villainous cigarette. And the only way to stop the evil is to crush out the manufactory. The sooner it is done the sooner the youth of the land will go into the battle for an honorable position in life with some show of winning. As long as he blows his brains out in cigarette smoke the cliauces are he'll fail. A POINT OF LAW. As Laid Down By a Clearfield County Judge. "The Clearfield county judge who told a jury last week that when notices are once served to saloon keepers not to sell liquor to any person of known intemperate habits no subsequent act or notification can relieve dealers from liability if they violate the law. Those who think that notices of this kind can be revoked should ponder a little on this fact before they get caught in the meshes of the law. Some people need a lesson of this kind and we ad vise and cailtion saloon keepers here to pay no attention to notices osten sibly giving them the privilege of selling liquors to common and habitual drunkards. These notices are but an expression of profound ignorance of the law and the last resort of the cornered inebriate to hoodwink the dealers and secure the whiskey his appetite craves. The law of this great commonwealth says it is a crime too sell liquor to drunk ards and the giving of a notice by an individual over-riding the law is supreme folly." The above infor- 1 mation should be read by every : landlord of the county and they should govern their sales of intoxi cating drinks accordingly. GRAND FURNITURE DISPLAY.
