LAPORTH, PA., OCTOBER 3d, 1890- LOCAL DEPARTMENT Sunday was a fine day. Chestnuts will soon be ripe. "Little Trixie" came to town on Sunday. We have been having very heavy frosts of late. The attendance at the Fair this week is very large. Small ideas and big words make a painful combination. Many of our citizens are in at tendance at the Fair this week. A railroad to Eagles Mere by next season seems to be an assured fact. All kinds of fine groceries and produce at the store of Mrs. M. C -1/auer. Don't forget to pay your poll tax before Oct. 4, if you want to vote this fall. Pawnee Bill's wild west show was one of the attractions at the Mans field fair. Wm.

Lamoreaux of LaPorte, who sometime since fell and broke his leg has entirely recovered and returned from Towanda where he Wka looked after by Relatives, on Thurs day last. The recent rains have left the roads in bad condition again. The roads in the vicinity of LaPorte have been in better condition this fall than at any previous time with in our recollection.

It is too much to ask the scholars to walk the distance they wil' be compelled to through mud and snow. We have now a school building that re flects great cfedit on our town. Let the side walk be built and our school facilities will be complete. A mishap occured to Thos. Kang ley and Henry Donahoe of Lopez, while driving oiit of town on Satur day. They were going at full speed down the tannery hill when their horse, which was young, kicked and came flown back of the cross piebe. The horse surged to get loose find broke one fill and bruised its limbs considerably. It was found to be neoessary to cut the harness before they cotfld losen the animal. We informed our readers some time since that Lee Gavitt Esq., of La- Porte twp., would move to Philadel phia where he would attend a medi cal institution this Fall. Last week Mr. Gavitt and family took the train to the city, and after inquiring the price of rents &c., they concluded it was to expensive and returned home the next day. Lee has about made up his mind that he will fo¥ the present at least, continue farming. During the past two or three weeks hen roosts and wood piles have been robbed in LaPorte. The guilty party or parties will run against a snag one of these nights. One good iray of catching onto this sneaking thief is to load one or more sticks ofwood with gun powder, plug up the hole and the result will sure ly follow and a conviction will be certain. The lazy good-foi-nothing man who refuses to cut his own wood would be better off frozen to death. Before the week is out the new tariff bill will' have been signed by the President. It has already passed the house, and although the Senators may consume some time in debate there is no probability that the bill will be changed in the slightest particular. It is the most important measure that has passed Congress since the war. Everybody is in terested more or less in its provis ions. At Lancaster on Saturday the turnpike bridge that spans the Pennsylvania railroad, east of Coatesville, was madly rush ed upon by a heard of stampeded steers. The structure gave way and twenty-steers and two boye who were driving them were precipitated to the tracks below. | One boy was seriously hurt and the escape of both among the strug gling animals is considered miracul ous. Several of the cattle were so seriously injured that it was found necesSfcry to kill them. The tracks were blocked for an hour. CAMDEN, Sept. 28.—A strong web of circumstantial evidenpe is being wound around Francis Lingo, who is now confined in the county jaij here on suspicion of having brutally murdered Mrs. Annie Miller near Merchantville, on Thursday last. The authorities are so sure they have the perpetrator of the vile deed that they are making no attempt to connect any one else with the crime. No one has been allowed to see Lingo since his incarceration here. As soon as counsel is assigned him his attorney will be allowed to con-! suit with him, but Prosecutor Jenk ing so far resists all attempts to in terview the prisoner. A full house greeted the "Little Trixie" troupe both Monday and Tuesday evening. The play is highly entertaining, introducing 3ome very humorous characters. Little TriXie the singing and dancing actress is a genuine mischief maker and succeeds in keeping the guests of the boarding-house, in which the scene is laid, in constant difficulty and the audience in con stant good humor bv her cortical pranks. Mr. Winterpippin a board ing-house guest and manager of a concert troupe plays a very enter taining part also. The singing was exceptionally good. The company labored under disadvantages in not having more stage room and better scenery. The registration of voters having been completed, it is important that everyone should now attend to the payment of his taxes. This can be done up to and including October 4, and every man who expects to vote must have his tax receipt witbin that time. In the recently con tested election case in Lycoming county one of the learned Judges rendered an opinion that tax re ceipts not accepted by the voter thirty days before the election are illegal. It has been the practice to purchase receipts for delinquents on the last days for the payment of taxes and distribute them afterward. The practice is all and the opinion of the court is very timely on this point. Every citizen and voter should pay his own taxes. jFor the Tornado Sufferers.

"Why not ?" we said : "Well," he replied, "I never yet saw a good suit as low as that." The man was reasoning from his experience among high-pripe dealers.
