E. church, by Emerson Collins Esq., of Williams port. Atty. W. E. Crawford of Hughes ville, was doing business at the county seat of Sullivan, on Mon day.

The juvenile temperance social for Friday, will be postponed as there is to be a lecture given on that evening. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Messenger of LaPorte joined the Baptist church I on Monday last.

An Englishman wagered that he and another would consume a bushel of potatoes in half an hour. He won *lie bet. The "other" was a pigi Bradford county rejoicea over the fact that the comity statement shows her $10,660 clear in the treasury. A pretty good showing, everybody must admit.

The meeting will take place on this Saturday evening February 14th at 7:30 p. m. A very interesting chase took place on Lake Mokoma Friday after noon. A number of the young peo ple of town were enjoying a skate when by chance they saw a mink on the ice some distance from them. The boys all joined in the chase and from all account must have scared the little fellow badly, as he at tempted to play opossum when they got within a few feet of him. F. H. Inghim was the first on the spot and crushed the animal's head with his skate. J. A. Jordan & Bro'a. are about to close their bank in this place, and open a new one in Sullivan bounty.

BAI The little two-year old son of La zelle Barley saw his mother fix some medicine for his father last Satur day evening, and cried for some also. Not having his wish granted, he climbed up to the third .shelf 111 the cupboard, got a bottle of laudan um, helped himself to its contents and then told his mother what he had done. Every exertion was made by the frightened parents to save the child, but without avail, as the little one yielded up his life the next da} r at noon. Vanton Herald. * » 1 The Bi:e<l Wnt- o Adver.ise. j The Pennsylvania railway compa ny, after experimenting several years has decided to abandon all kinds of advertising except through regular newspapers. Experiments have shown that posters, hangers, etc., bring smaller return by far than does newspaper advertising. Two judges salary bills are now before the Legislature—one to in crease the salary SIOOO a year, the other to pension all judges who have served twenty-five years with the regular salary; the latter was introduced by Senator Penrose, of Philadelphia, the former by Repre sentative Fow of the mime city. Now that Judge Metzger has dis missed the exceptions to the report of the Master in the case of the Williamsport & North Branch rail road vs. the Philadelphia and Erie it is reasonable to suppose that the new line into Williamsport will be built without anj' more delay. How ever, inasmuch as the Philadelphia and Erie asserts that it wants the land in dispute 011 which to builtl tracks for a new route it is likely that the case will goto the Supreme Court for consideration. —Williams- port Jlep'iblican. The fusionists of Bradford coun ty have voted to hold their party in organization. The Republican party has done all in their power to make harmony in the part} 7 , but we im agine that there are a couple of sore heads or otlice seekers in the In dependent rank who want otlice and see no other way of getting it. We trust aud hope they will get, left. They claim that they are offended because Mial L. ljilley of was appointed chairman of the Rep. committee. The Republicans have the same right to cry fraud because —now lets see, what is his name? Well, I will look at a Bradford coun ty paper and see, it is. hardly worth our time, but then some people might be curious to know. Here it is—(J. F. Heverly was appointed chairman of the Club" with out consulting the Republican party. WUTCES-BAKRE, Fel>. 9. —lntense joy and oxciteunait prevails in the little hamlet of Grand Tunnel this morning over the rescue of the three entombed miners who were im prisoned- by water lushing into the gangways and breasts of tho bus. quehanna Coal Compaq- colliery at that place on Wednesday of last week after the firing of a blast. Since the men were lost experienced miners declared their rescue alive an impossibility, and they were practically given up. The whole community was in mourning over their supposed sad fate. The names of the men are Michael Shelank, William Cragel and John Rincer, all well known miners. WHERE THEY WERE POUND. They were found alive in the up per workings near the outcrop, the water being unable to reach them, after they managed to get out of its swirl when it was rushing through the mine. The company's employes have exerted every effort to get the water out, bj- pressing into service the mammoth pumps, were able to lower the water sufficiently to let a rescuing party in this morning. The men were found in an almost ex hausted condition from their 1?5 hours imprisonment and it will re. quire cate to bring them through. ( Their sufferings have been intense, but they were buoyed by the hope of being rescued, and the working being fairly well ventilated they were enabled to secure enough pure air to keep them alive. WHAT TIIE MEN SAY. When the men were brought out they were wrapped up in blaukets having first been given some milk in light quantities aa nurisbment. The men said they had spent their time almost continuously in prayer; that neither of them stopped a moment, but all were hoping and watching for help from the outside, and when they heard the first pounding against the brattise they began to call aloud. Where they were they suffered very little from hunger pangs, but very much for something to drink, quenching their thirst us best they could by pressing against the rib of the crossheading aud licking the water as it, would drip ddwu the sides. j HAMILTON CERTAINLY DEAD. Young Green Furnishes Satisfactory Evidence of That Fact, PABIS, Feb. B.—The question of the fate of Robert Ray Hamilton, of New York, and the identity of his body with that found last August hidden beneath the overhanging branches of a tree on the bank of Snake River near his ranch home in Idaho, have been settled by an af fidavit just obtained from Mr. J. O. Green, at Pan by Mr. Hamilton's brother, who was commissioned for the purpose by the Surrogate's Court at New York Commissioner Hamilton was in this city on Thursday, and wijl re turn to New York shortly with evi dence in his possession which es tablishes the identity of his brother's body. Mr. Green states that he discovered the body in the river ; that ho was personally acquainted with Robert Ray Hamilton, and that lie has no doubt that the body which he saw wa« that of the unfortunate young gentleman, who lost his life while attempting to ford the river on his return from a brief bunt. D USnoiiE ITEMS. Miss Winnie Jackson has return ed from Chicago. R. J. Thomson is spending a few weeks in the West. Miss Jesse Richart, of Monroe ton, is visiting friends in town. E. G. Sylvara is in New York this week purchasing spring goods. Wardie llunsinger had his arm broken Sunda}' evening—the result of a fall on the ice. Again we have a few inches of snow, having been visited by the usual Saturday's storm. Considerable interest is being stirred up in the Spring election to take place next Tuesday. John D. Reeser has commenced business at the old stand of Welles & Co., with a liberal patronage. The masquerade ball in Garey's hall Friday night was an enjoyable affair. Also the reception of the A. F. I. Club at the same place Tues day night. Yes, Newell did it. He did it. Did what ? Why, he built the new school house established the new bank and was the cause of all other improvements made in Dushore, for the past few years, and built up the best newspaper in the county. Or, at least, he would like to make his readers believe as much. Of course, we do not thinK he would publish a or say anything which was not true, we mean—but we have heard so many others of our citizens make temarks in regaids to his bestowing all the credit upon himself, that we think the sentiment of so large an element of our people should be 1 heard. In the last issue of the Re view he says editorially: "We were the list to boldly and persistently advocate these necessities of an en terprising town. Can any one blame 11s if we feel just a little elated with the success that has crowned our efforts ? It shows how much a live energetic newspaper can do for a town." In no way does he say a woitl giving the least credit to any onebut the editor of the Review fact is that the questions of a baik and a new school house have persistently agitated for nearly a djcade and because the fanatical am cgolistical editor of the Review havered to -'chin in" a short time bel re the desired end was accom pli lied,' must be given all the credit? Sole of our people haive not yet foi ;otten, either the article publish ed n the Review a couple of years ag condemning the school board fo levying a school building tax, of 1C mills because a complaining ci zen, who pays a very small tax, to! him it was not legal to levy a hivier building tax than school tat. He then claimed credit for in terning the public that it was not Itial, when, in fact, it Was mutually areed by most of the tax payers t| pay 10 mills and commence the efcetion of a new building at once. Jid only for Newell and one or two cjliers the new school house would live been built one year sooner Jan it was. The fact that the Re few is not the best newspaper in te county is too well known to ecd any comment. It usually eon fins not much else than self praise, I bile the REPUBLICAN though small , size v is filled with good live news 'ery week, FACARACUS.
