LaPort'e Sullivan county, is soOn to have a bank established there. Such an institution is needed in the capitol Of little Sullivan.-—Milton Record.

Mr. Spettcer is stocking bis rdill yard with it goodly supply of hem. lock and hard wood logs. The lumbermen will Blossom With Wealth next fall. The Philadelphia 7'ifries published an article on Wednesday denying the death of Robert Ray Hamilton and says be is in New South Wales. We will copy article next week. A livery horse of LaPorte, was driven to Dushore on Sunday and when the party desired to come home hot a single person in the metropolis of the collnty was to be found that could bridle the horse. The owner was obliged togo after it on Monday. This is a grand send bff for the Dushore horsemen. The railing through the eeiMe of the Treasurer's office has been moved out a trifle,-thus giving more room for the officers to do work ih their department. A number of young people of La-' Pcrte anticipate taking in the misquerade ball to take place in (Storey's flail. Dusltord, on Friday ; evening Feb. 6. The snow on Saturday night agaih blockaded 'the streets about towfe. Weather prophets can pre dict snow on Saturdays and be suc cessful of late. Mrs George IJ.

Newell of the Diisliore Review oc cupies about four inches of space in his columns each week apologizing for erroVs. Newell is an exceptional journalist, at his own figures. The people think he sits too heavy£ <4n his brains to prevent action. An effort is now being made throughout the state to have a law passed to prevent the sftle of intoxi cating liquors on Memorial Day. This is right and everybody should do all In their powet to* have such a law exacted by the present legisla ture. Tuesday was a ver3' pleasant day and the bright rays of sun light melted and settled to some extent, the large quantity of snow about this locality. We still have IOTS of the beautiful to spare. Three feet in the woods is what the woodsmen put it at. A number of Odd Fellows of La- Porto listened to a very interesting ' sermon on Odd Fellowship deliver jed at Sonestown by Rev. Mr. Muntz, of Lairdsville, on Sunday evening last. The boys were very much pleased with the discourse and bay tiieir time was well spent. T. F. Penman, revenue collector of this district, had his office re moved from Wilkcs-Barre to ScVan tori on Saturday. It has kicked up a big howl among the residents the former town. Although ttfere is upt much benefit derived from it, yet it is a matter df local pride. Several of our young men liave taken the pledge and made oath be fore Prothy. Walsh that they will abstain from strdng drink for one year from date of oath. They are young men who liave * will power of their own and their many frtehds can expect a fulfillment of theft eti gage'taent. The storm of last Saturday night interferred wit.ii the telegraphic ser vice and railroad trafic throughout the eastern putt of the State. The wires were torn frotb the poles % the bteavy weight of snow and the drifting of the same prevented trains from teaching their destination at their appointed tiirie. Thus causing a great commotion In many places. James McFarlnne & Co., are de livering some large arid hartd sodle cherry logs to Nbrdmont where they will be loaded on the cars and shipped to New Ybrk and manufactured into lumber. One passed through town drawii by four horses on Saturday that scaled 780 feet. They were cut in the forest near tjie plank toad leading to I Thorilbdale. The recent storm did hot inter fer with the telegraphic wires lead- ] ing to the county seat of Sullivan, i To accomplish thife would neces- i sitate a windfall of the forest, as on 1 a goodly number of these great big ] hemlock trees are fastened the wires 1 which brought UB the news of Pat tison's election. They say that the cOunty at Muncy Valley over Muncy Creek , needs repairing. The commission er's Clerk hiving received word to this effect recently. New plank we understand is what they want. Well, there are a great many tlrfhgs that need "new plank" for instance the Democratic platform. The Republi- • can is all right. That's our opinion, 1 what is yours T { Alphonsus Walsh says the dis. agreeableness of taking a sleigh ride 1 is, hitching up and unhitching his trotter. It would not require a great deal of nerve to put our beast in readiness for a fast ride. The ' color of our trotter is very different 1 from thfet of Alphonsus'. It is 1 spotted, red and white, and it has horns, k good goer though of the ' kind. Will sell her cheap, give us a J bid. I ■ ■» \ Mr. Edwin Maben who has for ■ the past year been in the employ of' , JaWes McFarlane & Co., overseeing by contract the rolling of leather in . the dry loft of the tannery, moved to Pike Pond, Sullivan county N. Y from whence he cafae, on Tuesday. ' His son Newton has taken his place in the dry loft aii'd moved to the tannery last week. He occupies the house formeHyJ occupied by ills father. Sleighing is excellent between • this flace and Bernice 'and load after , load of coal is being hauled to this, Eagles Mere and Sonestown vicinity. ,It would seem that people of the central part of the county are burn ing many times the amount of coal; of recent years than of the past. , The principle reason of this is the I distance of the wood timber from J the settlements, thus necessitating nearly as muck cost per month for j wood as coal. The latter being pre- i l'erred. j Richard English Esq., of English | Centre, Lycoming bounty, who hasi ! for the past year or more been in j the employ of James McFarlane & | Co., as boss tanner, resigned his j : position recently. AMr Flynn of j Potter county will take his place in ! Ithe tannery. Mr. English while) ' here made hosts of friends who re-! . gret to see hiiri go. He thor joughly understands the business J jof tanning which is positively cor-1 i roborated by the workiugmen in that institution. Ho Sent Money for Lottery Tickets. IIARKISBURO, Jan. 25.—Levi Eichholz, of Dilsburg, York county, ! Pa., was artested yesterday by United States Marshal Anderson, of this city, for violating the lotttery law. He had 3eut money for lot tery tickets to New Orleans. Eich holz was brought to Harrisburg and held in SSOO bail fdr a hearing be fore United States Commissioiier Wolfe. This is timely warning to our many people who Have and awfully wish to continue in dealing in the lottery ticket. "Papa" is the latest. He broiight me over audit was awful late too when we arrived in town. I really <iid urge and insist upon papa's re nlaining in town over night. You see, twelve o'clock at night was pretty late for "papa" to return home. The "papa" turned oiit to l>e a scholar of the school and the School ma'rm was very much put out about the revealing of the secret and says next time she will call him Charley. ___ . im. In our mind it would be a wise act of the county oommissiohers to rase the valuation on property and lessen the amount of mills to such a figiii-e as will require the individual to pay the exact amount he now contributes to the county. The present system 10 mills on a dollar is very discouraging to people who would like to become residents of our county and until the matter is explained to him that we are only assessed about one third otir value which is also a bad showing for our property, he refuses to invest. We shall urge this in chamber; Postmaster General has ordered an interesting experi ment on a free mail delivery in small towns. The servioe will "be performed by one carrier, to be ap pointed by the postmaster, expense of this experimental service will bo borne by the general ap propriation for the free delivery, and will be continued a sufficient length of time to furnish statistics as to the cost of the service, and whether it is practicable and de sirable. If the data obtained war" rants the change, the Postmaster General will ask Congress for an' appropriation to cover this exten sion of the service. At present tlie jlaw limits the service to postoffices located in towns, having not less than 10,000 inhabitants, or where 'the receipts are not less than $lO,- <too. j The article in the REPUBLICAN last week announcing the necessity of having "Deeds Recorded," has stirred up many residents of the county in that direction. A. Walsh, recorder informs us that business has been exceedingly good for the past few days and that several of 'his clients had mentioned the hint •given them in the REPUBLICAN. It pays to have your name on the sub scription book of yonr county papers—if but one—the best and the one that gives you the most in teresting news must be decided by you. This little incident save those immediately interested many times the price of the paper. We sat quietly by and listened to a very interesting conversation between a gentleman and lady in the Hall on Friday evening last. The occasion was a hop and of course a large number of merry going people turnout. Thecouple re ferred to were young and the gentle man was of La Porte and the lady froni a distance. She was doing a good part of the talking, he not having much to The subject was "bald head" which was brought about, we imagine, by the non ap pearance of a good growth of hair on our townsman's head. He said it was caused by early piety. Well that's all right my young man, she said, but at my age I have no use for a scalp worn man and advised j him to JMvest in a wig. A piece of sheepskin, she said, tared and | sprinkled with hair, would add very much to his youth. After the con ! versation had come to a close Dan j came over to where we were com : posed, thinking of whether she meant us, and requested no remarks. ! We promised that everything would jbe quiet on the Potomac and not even his brother should hear that the ladies were "going back on him" lor the want of a good growth of halt. Esq. Huckell of Forksville, while In town on business Monday paid the REPUBLICAN a very pleasant call- Several topics were conversed upon, artlong which were the recent elec tion —the building ot the new road down Loyal Sock and other minor subjects. Mr H. informs us that there is now in circulation in and about the borough of Forksville—a petition asking for the erection ot a county bridge over the Loyal Sock for the convenience of the new and long talked of road leading from the county seat down said stream to the village of Forksville. The tax pay ers there claiming that if said bridge is erected early in the Spring will af ford the grading of tlie road which is to be commenced early in the eummer; of less expense to the towii ships by the use of said structure in going to and from their work. The petition has, and is being liberally signed by the tax payers of Western Sullivan and they are hopeful that the order ot the court will l? 9 a favorable verdict. Mr. Huckell also informs us that the people of Forks twp., are still agitating the road recently viewed over Jordan's Hill which ctosses Loyal Sock at the mouth of Mill Creek. This road has also been i ordered by the court and it is more ' than likely that should the residents i of Forks twp., be persistent in hav ing the same built, will be successful. i This will also cause the county con siderable expense by erecting a i bridge over Loyal Sock at the thouth of Mill Creek.
