Newell ot' the Dushore Review says that Dr. Waddell, Representa tive of Sullivan county, did not pre sent him with a Smull's hand book |of 1890 and that he was compelled ! to send out side of the county for t he j document. Guess the doctor thinks jas the most of the people of the | county does—He is not worth , noticing. Doc. is to be congratu lated upon his good judgement as |to whom Bitch gifts sL'ould be pre ; sen ted. The recent fall of show on Dee. 17th prevented trains on the S. L. S. from said date to Saturday Dec 20th, hence the people of Dushore were left in utter darkness of the I out side world. It gives us pleasure to state, however, that the \V. it N. K. made its iisual trips failing but once in making connections with the Reading at llalls, this occured on Thursday the 18th, hence our peo ple were furnished with nearly all | mail matter that comes to the coun ty seat.

A clean pavement in front of a residence or business place is ample evidence of good management with in. This strikes a good many peo ple of LaPorte one way or the other. County Officers. On Monday next the newly elected county officers will take up their of ficial life, and those whom they re place will give over their burdens to their successors. Hon. \V. Waddell, the retiring Member has made a most competent officer and his obliging and personal influence were so great that the Doc was requested and urged to accept of a second nomination of his party, but owing to business relations at his home, refused. The Doc retires from politics with hosts of friends. Jacob Lorah, the retiring County Treasurer, was a faithful, obliging and competent oflicer. Jurors and others doing business in this office? have always been accommodated and he takes with him the good will of all. Jacob Meyers, Chas. Hugo and J. H. Campbell are the retiring County Commissioners. The retiring County Auditors are J. 11. Spencer, Ed Franeke and Ulysses B>rd, both Spencer and Bird were re-elected. The third person to whom the honors of Audi tor fell, was George C. Wright of Forks vi lie. Hon. Russel Karris of LaPorte, will preside at Harrisburg as the Representative of Sullivan county and we predict that he will make a good and a very beneficial oflicer to his constituents. Win. Murray ot Cherry will take' charge of the county cash box. He! filed bonds at Dec. term of court inj the sum of #25,500. Unless we are greatly mistaken, Mr. Murray is going lo make a very eflicient of ficer. The new County Commissioners are I). W. Scanlin farmer of Cherry, S. K. Mcßride, contractor of Hills- Grove and Wm. Cheney editor of this paper. The new Auditors are J. fl. Spen csr, Ulysses Bird # and Geo. C. Wright, they will undoubtedly make as good a board of Auditors as the county has ever had. A WIFE BERTTER. He is Arretted Bui Allowed to Goon! the Payment o he Co to. From the il Hum sport Mrs. Frieta Uoutch had her lius-j band J. M. Gbutch, who keeps the! little cigar store on the corner ofj Third and West streets, arrested on i Saturday evening, for assault and! battery. He was taken before Al derman Miller and held in S2OO bail for his appearance Monday p.t 10 o'clock. Mrs. Goutch claims that her husband has frequently ill treat ed and abused her in nearly every conceivable manner. He diinks considerably, which is no doubt, mainly the cause of thej numerous outbursts of ill temper displayed on his part and why his wife is so often made the target of his merciless at tacks. She is 34 years of age, while lie is twenty-years her senior, and iu her case at least, the aged waxiurn of "better an old man's darling than a young man's slave," is consider ably reversed. She had patiently borne his abuse for a long time, but when he attempted to beat her on Saturday she determined lo stop it, and at once went before Alderman, Miller and had him issue a warrant.| This was placed in the hands of Constable Poindexter, W'IO found his man about 10 o'clock, that even ing. Upon the strength of a prom ise at a hearing Monday, to do bet ter and quit abusing his wife and the payment of the costs, the case was withdrawn. Od I Fellows Benefits. Some time ago J. S. Phillips, of Williamsport, brought suit against Lodge No. 830, Independent Order of O Id Fellows, to recover benefits on account of sickness, the benefits havtag been refused on account of the non-payment of dues. Judge Metzger ruled that the defendant, being a beneficial society, is govern ed by its own constitution and by laws. and that disputes between its members are not questions for the courts. He ruled that if the Odd Fellows refused to pay the sick benefits of a member the remedy | would be by mandamus for such re fusal.
