Darby Kennedy, proprietor of Hotel Kennedy, who recently fell froui the loft of his barn, is improv ing from the injuries received, very slowly. Congress is strong Democratic and there is a regular stampede for the Speakership. It will perhaps be given to a Southerner of Georgia or Mississippi. Everybody most ie this section, is suffering with a bad cold. This weather sw.-ms to be a scorcher on those of oar people easilly taken with this disease. There were a few bets made on the result of election, in this locality. An extra opinion of one's own judgment, is apt to cause a lons financially, occasionally. The Democrats of this section, did not give a demonstration of any kind in honor of their victory at the late election. They could'nt find tiuie between cheers to get things in readiness for a bon lire and such. I The fuMonists of Bradford county celebrated their success in an old time blow-out, on Tuesday. They roasted an ox and ate hearty of its carcass. Alvord was not bashful in I calling for his proportion.

Sergeant, both of LaPorte, arc af flicted with this disease and for sev eral weeks prist have spent their nights bolstered up i.i a rocking chaw. Mr. Walsh claims that this is a bad climate for people alllicted with this disease and has some no tion of taking up quarters in Colo rado. There was a flock of ten wild geese on Lake Mokoma, Tuesday. They had scarcely lighted on the deep waters of the artificial lake, when our world renown nimrods, three in number armed with two guns each, a Winchester and a shot gun, proceeded to the scene only to see the birds soare to the air and leave for South America. They were a disappointed crew, but disap pointments are quite frequent these days. It was generally understood by the tax payers of Sullivan county that the Prohibition party of this countv were anxious to show their strength, hence placed in nomina tion a full county ticket. The re sult lias proved anything but pleas ing to the third advocates, as the vote has very materially decreased in the past year, as the following shows: In 1889 the Prohi. candi date, Mr. Johnson received 123 votes for State Treasurer. This year (Gill) for Governor received but 71 votes a falling off of nearly one half. The result of the recent election has brought many dark shadows up on the Republican party, its future resurrection now depends upon unit" ed word of the leaders of the ' party. Quay and Magee have long been on the outs and so long as this exists we can expect trouble in our ranks, which the result of Nov. 4th gave undoubted proof. The minor Re publicans ofthis State, especially, are becoming tired of this sort of things and plead that some action be taken to relieve the feeling which exists at the head of our columns. The time has come when the party shall interfere. Quay and Magee have held the ruins of the Republican party in this Stato one year too long and it is high time that we select another. Ex-State Chairman, TIIOS. A'. COOPER, who lias car ried us over many a deep gulf, safe ly, is the choice of the Republicans in this section. It is a true saving that all politicians have their day and we agree with the popular opin ion that Senator Quay has experinc ed that time, much as we regret to say it,yet it is nevertheless a fact. Marrittyes »n Penney 1 vania in 1886, thirteen per cent, of all the men married in Pennsylvania married women older than them selves. Eighty per cent, married them younger than themselves, and the remaining seven per cent, took wives their own ages. The average age of the men was twenty seven years, and of the women twenty three years. More men arc married at twenty-three, and more women at twenty-one. This seems the favor ite time. A woman of fifty-nine married a man of thirty-one, and a girl of twenty-three took an old man of seventy-four. The youngest couple who ventured into matri mony was a boy of seventeen and a girl of fifteen. One man of fifty four married a girl of eighteen. Ilis age was just three times hers; and a man of forty-eight took a girl of seventeen. Where the men are older, the differences in ages varies, but where the women are older, it rarely exceeds five years. Two boys of sixteen were married, and two greybeards of eighty tried the same thing, probably not. for the fir.it time. Of 14,726 women mar ried, whose ages were given, 4,035,- or 27.« per eeut., were less than twenty years old. ' Jamison City can boast of one of the finest Hotels in this section of the State. With the exception of bad roads leading to the City, it would be a Hrst class place for the young people of LaPorte togo for a pleasure trip and dance. There are several LaPorters engaged there who would take pleasure in dealing out a good time to their many friends of the county scat. "J. Artley Beeber, Esq. master in the case of the Williamsport and North Branch Railway Company, vs. the Philadelphia and Erie Rail road Company, has filed his opinion, recommending a decree in favor of the plaintiff, according to the pray er of the bill. The document, which decides all the points in controversy in favor of the plaintiff, is a bulky oue. In a nutshell it decides that the plaintiff has a right to enter the city as desired, and virtually re strains the Philadelphia and Erie, from further impeding progress at the point in dispute, viz: The crossing in the lower end of the city on the land of John Metzger.— Gazette and Bulletin." It has been generally understood that this litigation has caused the delay in completing the W. & N. B. railroad from Nordmont to a point on the L. V. Now that the case has been determined we can hope that work w ill be resumed at' Nord mont bv the fast of April 1891. Another Prohibition Defeat, From the Philadelphia Press. "lii the general Democratic colonel of last Tuesday the"fate of the Pro j hibition amendment in been lost sight of. Enough returns I have been received, however, to show that itihas been badly defeat i ed. The majority against it will be 40,000, and it may be much more. This is a large majority in a State casting only 200,000 votes, and it evidences how strong the sentiment against the prohibitory method of dealing with.thc liquor traffic is in Nebraska. Some weeks ago The Press stated that'appearances indicated that 11 the : amendment would be defeated by at least 9000 majority. It made no prediction, but phased the statement on the best information that could ibe obtained. A correspondent took exception to this and asked to have his prophecy put over against that of The J'ress , and predict that the 9000 majority will bo found to be for Prohibition. The result shows which came nearest to gauging pub lic sentiment correctly. The state ment of The J'ress was intended to be moderate and far insole the indi. cations, as it turned out to be. There was, besides, no attempt to prophesy, but simply to give the best and most accurate information | that could be obtained. When the returns came in from j the Prohibitory amendment election | in New Hampshire in 1880 the}- were carefully gone over, township by I township, and it was made evident i that there had been a decided re j action against Prohibition all over [ the State. It was as marked in the rural districts as in the cities. From | these facts The J'ress concluded that there was a general drift against Prohibition, and that there was lit tle prospects of any of the amend ments then before the people being adopted. This statement was con demned as incorrect and unwarrant ed by the advocates of Prohibition. But when the elections had been held in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, it was seen that The J'ress had accurately for shadowed the fate of tho amend ments. There is a vast difference between taking cold facts or immoderate zeal as a basis for forecasting events. The man who trusts to the latter is pretty apt to be misled, but the con scientious newspaper which relies upon the former and seeks only to know the truth can give a very fair indication of the drift of public sentiment even a thousand miles away." In many instances even in Little Sullivan, the members of the Pro hibition party become angry at pre dictions made either in conversation or newspapers, unless the drift of the conversation is in their favor. This is ungcntleunuily, unfair and hhows distinct prejudice upon the part of the third party advocate.
