File your ob jections and forward them by the early Nordmont mail. A Catholic Sunday sfchool waff organized in the school house in the 2nd ward oh Sunday last.

Owing to the fact that there was no bids offered by our people for work to be done in Mountain Ash cemetery as advertise by the com mittee in the REPUBLICAN last week, the committee has agreed to hire the work done by the day. This trifling matter has caused much hard feelings to exist in our town, which perhaps never will be healed, and for our part we shall be glad to record the completion of the work. It is a fact, that when you find a man who is a perfect failure, you will find also a patienent little woman who makes his excuses to the world. Observe and you will notice that this will prove true iU nine cases out of ten. This is the last issue of the RK PUBMCAN in which will appear the premium list of the Sullivan county agricultural society. The Gazette will print the same four weeks after which the Review will follow suit the same number of insertions. The Review man thinks it will be btiglit and interesting news and will be most read while he is serving the Society. An 1880 almanac is live find interesting news to Newell if in serted in the Review. The ptiblic don't think so. A little excitement was caused in town on Saturday by a runaway (cam. One of the horses belonged to Stewart Chase and the other to E. M. Dunham. Stew was hauling hay to Dunham's barn and while pitching some loose hay in the barn the horses started at full speed, the bay taking the lead. They ran up Court St.to Cherry out Cherry to Muncy, down Muncy to Mam and out West Main to King, up King to Meylert, where they were caught. No damage was done. People who watch nature closely have noticed during the last few days, since Thursday's storm, that the rich summer green of the tree foliage is already passing into the dull green, approaching the first : rusty brown that always precedes I the richer autumn coloring. Of i I course, this early fading is attribu- j j table to some local blight or injury, j ! but the beauty is none the less j striking, and, in fact, the general j change toward an autumn brown I aud red is now noticeable. The j summer is not yet over but this I coloring in the trees and the clearer ; and cooler skies indicate that an-, | tumn is near. Mr. Cleveland professes to feel j very much aggrieved because people out in Indiana doubted his sincerity' j in writing a letter expressing his j | deep regret at not being able to at tend the dedication of the Hen dricks monument. The ex-Presi dent ought nolv to read an interview j with the widow of Thomas A. i Hendricks, in which she intimates ! that her husbalid's death was hasten-1 ed by the mortification and em bar. j | assinent which he suffered as Vice-; ! President frot+i those who, when | they got high office, forgot his exer- ; tions and sacrifices in their behalf, j It is evident that Mrs. Hendricks i lias some very decided opinions about Mr. Cleveland's sincerity. Chief of Police, Chas. Diramick of Towarida, while in hot pursuit of a j gang of tramps across the railroad bridge at the upper depot at said ' place on Saturday night, fell through a distance of thirty-five feet break ing his back causing his death iri about fifteen minutes. The Chief of Police, was, at the time of the ac cident warning his assistance to be careful of the danger of falling and had scarcely uttered the words when he disappeared. His body struck the abutment with the above result. Deceased had hosts of friends in Towanda and wherever known who will mourn his untimely death for years to come and condemn the sneaking tramps of our country. Newspaper purchasers certainly get the full worth of their money just now. Business is dull and a great many advertisers have seem ingly reached the conclusion that during such seasons it does not pay to advertise, and in one sense they are perhaps right. Immediate bene ficial results may not become ap parent, but those who are that way of thinking are referred to the fact that the men who have built up the largest trade are those who have ad vertised all the year around. This is the season when buyers of news papers have more leisure to read them than at any other, and con sequently are more apt to con ad vertisements with increased interest. Retail dealers who are shrewd, and who have goods to sell that are ' staple and in general demand, are the ones who recognize the fact that true business policy suggests the ' constant keeping of themselves be • fore the public. There are over one thousand idle men in Danville, owing to tlfe strike ' in the iron works. The stoppage was caused owing to a disagreement about wages, the employers not eon ceeding the raise in the scale de manded by the workmen. Dog Days- July 17 marked the beginning of i what is known as the "dog days," which precede and follow the helical 1 rising of the star Sirus—the con stellation of the Greater Dog. The extreme heat of this season of the j-ear, although to lis palpably the eftect of the high position of the sun was connected by the ancients with the appearance of this star in the morning. The}' considered the dog star as raging, and gave the time the appellation of the Dog Days. The liability of dogs to rabies in con-j sequence of the heat of the season was connected with the same star, though there was nothing but ac cident in the collusion, and they butchered these animals without mercy. The season lasts until Au gust 28th—42 days. It Is generally regarded as an unhealthy period of the year. Canada Thistles. There are many bad weeds, but the Canada thistle is the worst of all There are many of them now grow ing in Sullivan county, and they should all be cut before going to seed. The following is an abstract irom the laws of Pennsylvania oil the subject: "It shall be the duty of land owners to prevent Canada thistles from going to seed, and the seed of the same from ripening j Penalty for neglect a fine of sls, j one half to the county treasurer and j the other to the proceeding inform- I er. Parties (i.e. neighbors) ag grieved may give five days notice, aud on continued neglect it shall be lawful for the former to enter the premises and cut down the said thistles, or hire others to do so, and | such aggrieved person so doing may j sue and recover from the landholders . $2.00 per diem for so doing." THREE BRAVE GIRLS | They Swing from a Bridge While a Train Pusses Above Them. Pete Walters, a passenger engineer of the Delaware, Lackawanna and j | Western Railroad, liad a horrifying ;as well as thrilling experience Sun-! J day morning near Binghamton, HeJ | was running his train at the rate ofi i thirty-five miles an hour, and when he entered the stretch just before | reaching Binghamton Bridge he was i horrified to see three blackberry J girls on the structure. He reversed ! his engine, and then fainted. The fireman took charge of the throttle, and when the engine wan within thirty yards of the girls one of them, witli remarkable presence of mind, I jumped to the side of the bridge, I stretched forward fiat on her face and swung herself clear of the track, hanging onto the end of the ties over the rushing waters beneath. In a moment the other girls followed her example, and just as the train swept by the last of the trio swung clear of the bridge, while, with amazement and horror plainly stamp ed oil their countenances, the pas sengers and trainmen watched with anxiety the human forms swaying to and fro iri mid-air. As soon as the train could be stopped the pas sengers and crew rushed back to the scene and rescued the brave girls from their terrible plight.— Ex. Williamsport is overrun with toads, tens and hundreds of thousands of the little things, each about the size of a grain of corn, hopping all over the town and being crushed beneath the feet 6f pedestrians on the side walks. The frequently quoted "oldest inhabitant," says that noth ing like it- was ever known. Along the river the little toads fairly swarm, and there is sca'rcely a square fool of ground that contains less than a dozen. Men calch them for fish bait, and even the birds are gob bling them up for food. They are numerous all over the county, and their numbers can only be estimated by the millions. LOST.
