Deceased was born in Ilessfe Cassel, Germany, Feb. 20th 1831 and came to this country about the year '49 or 'SO to visit her brother Peter Stilsiiig who resided in Jersey City and who came to this country sever al years before. She became a member of the South sixth St., M. E. churteh, Jersey City, of which her brother was one of the origina tors, and of which she reuiairibd a rtiember up to the time of her death. Deceased was married January 6th 1856; to Wm. M. Miller (who died 20 yeat ago the 27th of last Maj") and has resided in Sullivan county the greater part of the lime since. For the past 20 years deceased had been severly aflicted with inflaraa : tbry rheumatism and during the past few years has been a great suf ferer from a complication of diseases. Deceased resided in LaPorte for many years and was a resident of our town at the time of her hus band's death. She was known by all as a kind wife, mother and a good christian. For the past few years her sick ness had tendered her almost help less when she was taken to her daughter's residence Mrs. C. D. Croll, Athens, where she was looked after and bet wr.nts cared for. Two children, Mrs. Mary Croll nee Mary Miller and Peter D. Miller, survive her who have the heart felt sym" palhy of their mn'iy friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral was hold in the M. E. church at this place, On Friday July 11th, and vras in charge of undertaker Lawrence of Dushol'e. Ilev. J. F. Glass of Muncy Valley, delivered the funeral sermon. Interment in Mountain Ash cemetery. Now that Mr. Wallace is known to be out on the ocean the Democratic organs are saying some queer things of him. The most interesting of the compliments paid him conies from the Sun, of this cit}*, which, in' its issue of yesterday, speaking of Pat tison, said: He is n Democrat, but not an of fensive phrtisan. It cannot be said of him as a Governor that he ever shirked his duty to the people, nor as a Democrat that he ever ran away if he failed to carry a convention in a fiilr and square fight such as that in which he was nominated. The Wallace men of this section' and there are many of them, wil doubtless die with joy over this beautiful comparison between Bill Scctt's man Pattison and ex-Senator Wallace.— Williamsport liej). Hon. Thos. V. Cooper Collector of the Port of Philadelphia and for a long time Chairman of the Republi can State Committee, will, with Mrs. Cooper, spend the latter part of July and the firot week in August at Hotel Eagles Mere. Alfred Gratz, Register of Wills of the same city, with his wife and family will also be at the 3ame hotel daring the sum mer. Prof. M. F. Albert, formerly prin. cipal of the Watsontowri graded school, is an applicant for the La- Porte graded school. Mr. Albert is well known in this section having taught one term at LaPorte, and is complimented very highly as a teacher by our people. It is the wish of the people that he be suc cessful! in receiving the appoint ment. Chas. B. Jaokson, Esq., of Ber wick, and a world renown fisherman, while in town, on Sunday visited Lake Mokoma and took a look at the trout in the fish box. He said they were the finest he had ever seen. There are forty in the box and the average length of the same is 15 inches. They were all taken out of Lake MoKoma. With the ha}' taken off, the Park presents a very creditable appear ance. Now if the town council would vote new gates constructed, so that people could have access to the same, without 'straddling'the fence, they wO\ild do a worth act. Deputy Collector E. P. Ingham of Philadelphia, is home on a vacation, j and will remain on the Mountain [ until Monday next. James Gansel of LaPorte twp., claims he is the owner of a horse that if properly hitched could move the Court House to Dushore. The animal weighs a ton or less. The people of Dushore should club to gether and purchase the beast, but then, Stewart Chase is Warden and should an attempt be made to re move the building to the Metropolis of the county some dark liight, Stew would catch them in the act and call them to a halt, There is always something to interfere with moving the county seat to Dushbre.

Sullivan was yesterday afternoon shown Muldoon's open letter re flecting on his courage and character, and there was a pretty how-de-do. The big fellow flung down the paper, his hand striking the table with force enough to chip a large splinter off the hard pine top. For a mom ent he was silent, and then his mouth' opened and a tbrrent of abuse poured forth such as the reporter had nevef heard. "That snake in the grass," yelled John, "has hounded me without reason for weeks. He is a snivel ing snipe, a frog, a vipfer and a scoundrelly blackguard. He calls me a liar. Why, his very letter proves him a liar of the deepest dye. When he sa\ T s he didn't write the letter to the Southern authorities he is a proven liar, as I satf the letter with my own eyes. "As to ray being a coward, a slur on my bravery from such a sneaking, cheap copper as he, cannot hurt me. I hare proven my courage in many a hard fought battle and the re marks of Muldoon himself, publish ed a year ago in your paper and in others, Itvill take as my just measure ment. 'As for his contemtible offer to match Kilrain against me again. I have already refused to meet that little sneak, but if Muldoon can show $2,500 in cash I might be tempted to essay the task. That I ever asked him to train me for Jack son is only a plain simple lie, like all of his Other statements."
