Saturday was a trifle cool and our
city guests, as is natural, on such
occasions; complained. This puts
us in mind of the complaint of lust
winter wherein the administration
was held responsible for the small

jections and forward them by the
early Nordmont mail.

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.

a S2OO. note and other valuable
paper* any one finding the same will
