says that Dr. Waddell, Representa
tive of Sullivan county, did not pre
sent him with a Smull's hand book

jas the most of the people of the

, 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

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

Chas. Atherson, a young man and
'a new comer to Sullivan, was ar

of Forksyille ou Monday Dec. 22'

ttie county seat on the same date
and lodged in the County jail to
{await a hearing at our February
I term of court. Atherson claims to
have formerly lived in Colorado.,
and traveled with Buffalo Bill's
circus. He would carry the idea
j that he painted the posters for that
circus. A specimen of his work can
|be seen at his office. For a genuine
("dauber" he is hard to beat.

Tweiamla Reviews.
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.
