The time of year is nigh at hand when you ought to give a thought to the poor. Be sure, however, not to let your giving Btop, with giving a thought. In Dushore the Democrats will partake of ox-roast to-day Thursday. The Republicans had all the "oast they wanted on Tuesday the 4th. They hav'ut swallowed it all yet. In view of the approaching holi lay season our local merchants are compelled to entertain numberless •'■omiiiereial travelers" these days. The army has increased of late. The roads are still bad and the stage driver ceases to groan. August Buschhausen of LaPorte, was doing business in Williamsport, on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Morgan of the 'Mere, were calling on friends at the county seat, on Wednesday. They say that Dushore is filled witli horse-jockeys and mules. A band of gypsies are quartered there. Robert Stormont, who is looking after the interest of Lake Mokoma, captured a large mink in a steel trap along the shores of the lake, on Tuesday. A regular old eastern blizzard struck LaPorte on Wednesday and I the snow came down thick and fast. The sun shown at intervals and the flakes of snow in the air, sparkled like diamonds. Wellsboro merchants have formed an anti-dead beat society. People 'n the habit of not paying their bills are spotted, and their names posted in the stores of all members of the [ society. The bell formerly used at the old school house will be hung in the belfry of the new school building soon. This will be a great conven ience to the teacher, as lie at present has no means of announcing the tall cf school hours. John P. Kennedy, mute, of La- Porte, left for Rome, N. Y., on Tuesday where lie will take to him self a belter half in the person of Miss Maria Cramer, mute, of said place, on Wednesday Nov. 26th. We extend our congratulations. Edward Poey, the famous base ball player, who for the past years has visited Eagles Mere during the summer season, presented E. S. Chase of the 'Mere, with a new Winchester rifle, recently. Embly says it is the boss gun on the Moun tain. It is rather expensive to keep a horse in this section—with oats at 60c. a bushel and chop SI.OO a hundred it requires but a short time for the animal to eat his value in grain. The man without a horse, mule or ass is much the best off these days. The Teachers' Association held at Dushore last Friday and Saturday was a success in every respect. The lecture by Rev. David Craft of Wy» alusing was entertaining and in structive and listened to with mark ed attention by a large and appreci ative audience. Petitions have been circulated and forwarded to the department asking for the extension of the Glen Mawr- Hills Grove mail route to Forksville. It is to be hoped that the depart ment will grant the service as it would very much improve the pres ent mail facilities of the western por tion of the county. There are several dwellings in our town on which the boards used by the mechanics for shingling the roof still remain on the building. This is surely neglect of the occu pant and reflections are often cast contrary to the wish of the occupant. The only way of remeding this in the future, is, to "pull them down." The man whom the Farmers' Al liance elected Judge in Kansas Ju dicial district is to be sent to a law school to get some ideas of law. This, we fear, is not a good begin ning for the Kansas members of the Farmers' Alliance, but inasmuoh as they are running that Judicial dis trict, it will likely have to go. That Democratic ox-roast which was to come off at Dushore to-day- Thursday, has been postponed for various reasons. The most essential of all is, the democrats of that sec tion are willing to share the Patti son victory with the Independent Republican voter and for fear of of fending this weak minded popula tion of our county, have given up ( the jolification. J. W. Troxy and p. F.* Krause, both of Mauch Chunk and employees of the L. V. railroad, were in town last week. They were equiped with a barometor giving them the heights aud degrees of the country in which they were traveling also a milage guage. They were on their way down Loyal Sock from Lopez to Will iamsport. What the result of their explore may terminate, in the future, remains to be seen. The holidays will soon bo here. The country merchants are making preparations for a large harvest about that time. We stat6d it out the better for the party. The Republican club of which Mr. Drinkliouse is a member, all voted Pattison together with many others of the city and this is why a Demo cratic victory.

Subscribe for the REPUBLICAN, and get the best. The story that was circulated hereabouts, last, week and created much sensation to the etleet that Elish Allen his brother and two other boys were guilty of the murder of old Mr. Crouse of Lairdsrille, some time since, is said to be un. founded and untrue. Our Lycom ing county exchanges, all contra dict the story and s:iy that it is false from beginning to end. Allen, who is only a boy, resided with bis father at LuPorte some two or three years past, hence the story created much more excitement here thau it would have otherwise. 11. W. Meylert and wife of Suscu vi lie, Lassen county, California, will visit their parents Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Meylert of LaPorte, on or about the first of December. How ard settled in California in 1882 and lias not been home since that time. He engaged with his uncle, Ger trude Meylert, as head clerk m his large store at Susenville, and short ly after he had become a resident of said place was appointed post muster and in 1887 was elected coun ty Treasurer. At the recent elec tion be was re-elected Treasurer and is now serving his second term. Howard's many friends of old Sulli van, will be pleased to see him. Now that our Democratic friends have stopped yelling long enough to hear, will some of them kindly in form us what possible use their party can make of the victory it has obtained over the Republican party by a skillful combination of all the elements of opposition, including the Republican sore heads, and a liberal expenditure of money among the "floaters ?" With its two-thirds of the House of Representatives, the Democratic part}" cannot repeal a single law now upon our statute books, nor can it enact a law unless it meets with the approval of a Re publican Senate and a Republican President. These facts seem to be over-looked by the too jubilant Democrats. The democrats of Dushore pro pose to celebrate the well earned victory of the lato election this (Thursday) and have issued posters to this effect. That's right. A party who has lived so mauy long years on the empty husks of ex pectancy have reason to eDjoy once the fruits of realization. Go in and have a good time and make it a loud one. Victory comes so seldom it ought to be celebrated. LATTER. — The celebration has been postponed indefiuately. Too i bad. A bill of exceptions has been en tered to the report ot the Master by the defendant in the case of the Williamsport and North Branch Railroad company against the Phila delphia and Erie company. Thns another legal step has been taken in the controversy as to the rights of the two companies in the matter of the proposed crossing in the eastern part of the city. The Supreme Court will have the final say in this interesting dispute — Gazette and Bulletin. Letter® Advertised in ihe LaPorte Posi-Office for the week ending Nov. 17. 1890, Ella Anderhold,' .T. W.

Squire Brink of Eagles Mere, had business at the county seat on Thurs day last and early in the morning shouldered his gun saying to his family that he would take a hunt on his way over and if he finished his business as early as he anticipated in the day, he would continue his hunt on his way back to the 'Mere. This was all right and the family did not think anything about it, but when 8 o'clock p. m. came and Mr. Blink did not putin an appearance, then something was wrong. The family notified their neighbors of the absence of Mr. B. and it was generally thought that he had be come bewildered and lost in the forest. The neighbors, about ten in number stationed themselves on Glass Hill and fired muskets, repeat ers and revolvers that the old gentle man might catch on and groop his way back to his family. All this was going on when John Au miller who had visited LaPorte that day drove up 'Mere ave. and on his kit sat perched high in the air the dignified and lost Squire, who had remained at I.al'orte until 8 o'clock for a free pass on John's buss. The neighbors pulled in their horns and the family ceased their sobbing, while the Squire enjoyed a hearty laugh. The Volley Reaching Out. J A.
