In Wyalusing, Jan. 2, 1891, by Edward Smith, Esq., Mr. Edward Schroder of LaPorte, and Miss Cyn tha Smith of Monroe, Pa. The fellow who predicted a mild winter had better join the one who announced that the Gulf Stream had changed its course, and start in search of McGinty, who is thought to be still at the bottom of the sea. The fight with the Indians still continue. Our government of ficials are too big hearted; they should cut them down right and left and at the same time stop their supplies.

Donald Cameron will continue to represent us in the U. S. Senate, just as the REPUBLICAN predicted when the Phila. Press made its first attack on the Senior member. To knock Don out, was too big a job for even the Phila. Press to tackle with success. To the Monroeton Enterprise— the LaPorte REPUBLICAN will not change hands for the next three years. With all the county adver tising promised, we couldn't very well atlord to exchange for cash just at present. Carry the news to the Dushore Review. The New York Press is a daily paper of world renown. It is a strong advocate of Republican principles and perhaps has the hon or of the largest circulation of any paper published in the U. S. It is a fearless sheet and guilty parties are made public in its columns. A sanitarium at LaPorte would certainly prove a success. We doubt if a better location for a said institution could be found in the State of Pennsylvania. The brick house known as the Michael Meylerl residence and is for sale, would make a first class building for this purpose. The Sheriff of both Sullivan and Columbia counties will visit Jamison City in their official capacity, on Saturday next. Their object will be to expose at Sheriff Sale property owned by the Fishing Creek Lumber Company, consisting of a saw mill, logs and bark remaining in the woods and Dearly all of the furniture in the large hotel at said place.

La- Porte will have the honor of the first Bank establised in the count}'. A young couple from Lopez, Pa., said to be a farmer's daughter and his hired man, registered at the Tioga hotel last Wednesday night, at about 2 o'clock, having come to Waverly on the late Lehigh Valley train. W. H. Spaulding was called to tie the knot, and a Rochester ( drummer was awakened, the bride refusing to accept the services of the colored porter as a witness. We are told that her father ac companied by her brother came to Waverly the next morning to find his daughter, but on learning that the eloping couple were married, re turned home disgusted.—Waverly Press. A party of young people of Du shore took a sleigh ride to LaPorte on Friday night last, and enjoyed a dance in the Hall and supper at the Mountain House. They were join ed by a large delegation of young people of LaPorte 011 their arrival and the evening was immensely en joyed by all present. Following is a list of those present of Dushore: Miss Effie Bowman, Miss Addie Honnotter, Miss Olie Brewer, Miss Libliie Utz, Miss Anna Mahaffey, Miss Belle Hunsinger, Maud McHenry, Miss Jennie Mcllenry, Miss Mortor, Miss Fannie Kellog. Mr. Howard Walbridge, Mr. M. A. Scureman, Mr. Philip Seamen, Mr. Charley Scureman, Mr. Gus. Wag» ner, Mr. Bayard Martin, Mr. Chas. Heverley, Mr. Mancy Fairchild, Mr. Lewiß Erb, and Mr. Harry Brewer. To be on the safe side our patrons should have their deeds of real es tate recorded. Only the other day a circumstance occurred in Northum berland Co which is evidence enough to prove that land owners by neglect of this important duty place them selves in a position that they can be forced to long ami unpleasant litigation. The circumstance was as follows: "An attorney of Milton while ex amining the title of a certain prop erty at Simbury the couuty scat of said county, discovered that the title so far as the records showed was still in the name of the former owner. Subsequently investigation developed the fact that the deed transferring the property to the present owner was destroyed in the (lie of 1880. As the case now stands the owner has no papers to show his title to the property, and were it not for the fact that the original owner is still living and is willing to make another deed, the matter would be seriously complicated." Now the question suggests itself; are there any of Sullivan county tax payers in a similar position ? The county commissioners will hold an appeal at their office in La- Porte borough Pa., on the 19th and 20th of February, 1891, for the pur pose of hearing such as feel them selves aggrieved by the and make such alterations as seem to them just and proper. EVA HAMILTON AT HOME. Sha Really Seems to Have Settled Down, Facta About Her Father. A letter from Wilkes-Barre to a Philadelphia paper says Eva Ham ilton seems a happy woman " now. She is at her step-father's home at Dallas, Luzerne county. "Bill" Steele, her step-father, is about 60 years old, but the neighbors say he looks twenty years yuunger since Eva came home. After the Atlantic city assault on Mrs. Donnelly he started to walk to the seaside. He fell by the wayside before he had gone far. When he made known his mission a man paid his fare to At lantic City, where he remained for some time. When Eva was released ! a month ago, Mr. Steele went to Jersey City and accompanied her to Pittston. She remained there with a friend for a day or two and then went to Dallas, where she joined the family. For many years Farm er Steel eked out a miserable ex istence on a small patch of land he called his farm. He had one cow, and the stable was an old, rickety | ailair, which let in the wind from all' sides. Since Eva came home, how ever, things have changed wonder-1 fully. There is a new gate iu front l of the house, and there is also a new! stable. Instead of one cow there are two. Eva has discarded fine! feathers and now dresses like all the other women in the neighborhood. Last week was the first time she left home since she came from New Jersey. She went to Scrantou on a shopping tour. It was eighteen years ago when Eva left that part of the county. For ten years nothing was heard of her. Then one day a man who was acquainted with the family and knew Eva very well, brought the news that while traveling in Cali fornia he had met her in company with her husband. That was the last heard of her until the Atlantic City incident. It is said to be her intention to make her home per manently with her own people in Dallas. A CANE FOR MR. HIBBAHO. Err»f loyes of the Short Line Present Him a Handsome Suck. .S'ionx City Journal Jan. 3. When George W. Hibbard leaves Sioux City and the Pacific Short Line, a few daj's from now, he will carry with him a handsome token of the good will and wishes of the force of employes who have worked under him since he has been trallic manager of that road. It is a beau tiful cane, which was presented to him yesterd y. About the middle of the afternoon, as he was sitting at work in his private office, the force of clerks in his department, headed by J. E. Gallagher, his pri vate secretary, entered the room, and when Mr. Hibbard looked up in surprise at the unexpected call, Mr. Gallagher stepped forward and in a neat little speech presented an ele gant gold-headed cane, the gift of the employes to the traffic depart ment, including all the agents on the line. Mr. Gallagher spoke of the high esteem iu which the honors held the gentleman who had been their chief, but who was soon to leave them. For the employes of the road, he wished Mr. Hibbard all success in his new position in the south, and assured him of their earnest regard. Mr. Hibbard was taken complete ly by surprise, and was at a loss for a response But ho recovered him self'and replied in a feeling little speech, assuring his friends of his appreciation of their kindness, and thanking them for the beautiful present. A general handshaking followed, anl everybody agreed that in Mr. Hibbard the road was losing a splendid railroad man and a per fect gentleman. The caue is a very fine one, with heavy gold head, which was en graved handsomely. Below the ar row and crow's wing trade mark of the Short Line were the words, "G. W. Hibbard, G. F. and P. A.j From employes."
