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.

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

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.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN ANGRY.
The Boston Slugger Vehemently
Abuses Wrestler Muldoon,
BOSTON, July 12 —Champion John
li. 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."
