]R©PQBI/IC/J^ID LAPORTE, PA., MARCH 6th, 1891. LOCAL DEPARTMENT Court proceedings elsewhere.. Lent ends on the 29tli of this month. Towauda has got the measles— bad, too. It will soon be time to hang the wall paper. Thus far March has been a pretty cool month. Wednesday was the last day of the fifty-first congress. Maple sugar making will soon be the order of the day. It is thought the roller skating craze will revive the coming sum mer. Sunday Match Ist came in like a lamb. Watch her outward appear ance. J. W. Young, of Dushore, passed through town, en-route for Williams port, on Monday. It is rumored that J. W. Ballard of LaPorte, will move to Muncy Valley in the Spring. J. A. Jordan the La Porto banker, expects to commence business about the 15th of the present month. It is said the Lehigh Valley road will make Harvey's Lake one of the< great inland resorts of the country. It has been discovered why a man's hair turns gray sooner than his mustache—it is twenty years older. Judge Taylor of Muncy Valley, is in attendance at U. S. Court, con vening in Scranton this week as juror. The retail price of sugar will be reduced two cents a pound on April Ist. Credit this to the McKinlev bill. Philip Dorner of Cherry twp., who has been engaged in Potter county for some time past, is home on a visit. Henry Harrison formerly clerk in i James McFarlane store, has M accepted the clerkship of Carroll Hotel, Dushore. In nine cases out of ten the ag-! pressor is most sure to get the worst! of it. This is quite noticeable in ' newspaper quarrels. That crazy man Addiscn who was ' bound over to court for stealing a 1 razor of Thos. Bedford, cost Sulli-; van county $100.92. The snow storm on Saturday last made it unpleasant far court guests • who were obliged to face tiie storm, homeward bound. Lellaysville Advertiser says ; "A house divided against itself shall fail.*' The result of election in this ! boro plainly shows this. Mrs. Win. Meylert of LaPorte, | who has been ailinir for some time past, is not improving as rapidly as her many friends would wish. There are but three more courts ' in which the present board of As* I sociate Judges will sit unless re- \ elected. There time is growing shoit. Richard English formerly Super intendent of the LaPorte tannery, has recently accepted a similar posi tion in a tannery located in Warren county, Pa. Father to son—''Another bad re port from your teacher! I hope next time you will do better." Son —"That's right, papa—don't loose your courage." The LaPorte Hotel and barn has recentty been connected by telephone, lion Kussel lvarns finds it a great convenience when desiring the pres ence of his hostler. Strawberries in New York now bring the modest sum of $3.50 pet box. But very few people of the country cat strawberries at this season of the year. J. T. Jackson of Lopez, was grant ad hotel license on Saturday the last day of court. Pat Daly of Bernice, who was applying for restaurant license, was refused. Lawyer DeWitt of Towanda, who ook part in several cases tried in ourt last week, walked to Dushore >n Saturday morning for a little ex. rcise, as he termed it. Sullivan ounty don't got any steppers of that raternity. I Valentine N. Quigel, representa tive of the Gazette ifi Bulletin office, Williamsport, was in town transact ing business, on Monday. MAHRIED: —By IlobU Stormont J. P. LaPorte—S. E. Steinruck to Miss Olive B. Slackhouse, both of Shrewsbury twp., on Thursday Fob. 20. FOR SALE Nine heavy teani horses, aged from Gto 12 years. For further particu lars inquire of 0. W. BIUUEKS, EaglenMere, Pa. The Dushore Gazette aud Review continue to fight. Would'nt it be just as well for all concerned to let up for a week or so and call one another pet names ? Philadelphia is to have a new Mint. Congress appropriated two million of dollars for this purpose, on Mouday, and the Philadelphians are more than happy. We have engaged the services of H. W. Osier of Lincoln Falls, as solicitor for the REPUBLICAN. Re ceipts given by Mr. Osier will be acknowledged by us. Miss Josephine Colt of Wysox, took part in the Masquerade party given at Wynlusing, on Monday evening of last week. It is said to have been an elaborate affair. The cash gross receipts of the REPUBLICAN for the month of Feb ruary figures $211.25. We make tiiis statement owing to the fact that February is the shortest month of the year. The W. C. T. A. will meet at Mrs. Wm. A. Mason's, Thursday March 12th. The temperance social will be hold at the same place on Friday evening March 6tli. All are cordial ly invited. The old rickety shed in the rear of the Flynn store building litis been torn down much to the satisfaction of all concerned. A coat or two of paint ■spread on the store building would add much to its value. The teachers of Western Sullivan are to lie congratulated upon having secured the services of David Craft of Wyalusuig as lecturer for their next Institute, to be held nt Forks vilie, Friday evening, March G. The county duplicates will be given the several collectors on the Ist of July instead of Juue Ist, as heretofore. This change is made at the request of farmers who claim it will be a great advantage'"to them. Frank Hannon of Millview, pur chased at assignee's sale the War burton hotel property at Forhsville ; consideiation §1,851. It is said that Mr. Ilannon will take charge of the hotel himself after April Ist. Miss Maggie Hill sister of Dr. Ilill of LaPorte, was married to Eugene Gardner of Williamsport at the home of the bride's in liughes vitle on Wednesday of last week. Dr. and Mrs. Hill of this place were present at the ceremonies. j "Hug me to death, darling," is the title of a new song. It is said to be intended for a duet and 110 | audience. If it is successful it will ibe a tight squeeze. It is certainly a ticklish production and might re sult in holding a lellow tor life. The Towanda Nail Mills which were burned some weeks past, will be rebuilt in the vary near future. It was rumored shortly after the fire that the company would re move their plant elsewhere but this statement as is proven, was un founded. Both, the Dushore Gazette and Revieio copied our election returns last week and both failed to give us credit for the same. For such news the boys have to rely entirely upon the paper published at the county seat. Subscribe for the REPUBLICAN and get the news fresh. The ladies of LaPorte will give a supper at the residence of T. J. Keeler 011 Tuesday evening March 10th. Warm sugar will be served in addition to the supper. Pro ceeds for the benefit of llev. J. W.

No charge for ad mittance. I A bill has been introduced in the Legislature making it unlawful for one person to treat another to liquor. It is believed that the good results following its passage would be simp ly beyond calculation, for it is gen erally admitted that the treating hi bit is the very worst feature ofi the liquor question. An exchange says : A man think reform, preach reform, and write re form, and pay his money for reform every other day in the year ; but if he fails on election day togo to the polls and vote for reform his whole labor may IMJ thrown away, flow can he expect to obtain better muni cipal government, if at the only lime it is possible to do a decisive act toward bringing it about, he shall neglect to do it ? The Delaware Lackawanna anil Bloomsburg railroad company not only prohibit their employees from drinking but they will not tolerate them to sign license petitions. Four of the company's employes who had 'signed a petition for a saloon at Clark's Summit, presented to the court at Scran ton, when brought to the attention of General ManagerJHalstead were immediately discharged. A Magistrate, J. P. or Alderman who are called upon to issue certi ficates for the killing of animals on which there is a bounty awarded, should collect the 25c for oath of the party thus applying, said party bringing in a bill to the county for the award due him plus the 25c paid the J. P. This will save much trouble to the {commissioners clerk and give general satisfaction to all concerned. About February, It. is not often that the month of February begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday, thus having an equal number of all the days of the week, as four Sundays, four Mon days, four Tuesdays, and so on. However it has occurred during the present century as follows: 1801, 1807, 1818,1829, 1835, JB4G, 1857, 1863, 1874, 1885, 1801. Three mouths time during the present century the month has begun and ended on Sunday, giving it five Sun days and but four of each of the other days of the week, viz. 1824, 1852 and 1880. Each of the hint named were also leap years. Neither of the above will occur during the present century. Some of the young men in various | sections—and old ones, too, for that j matter—are forming world's fair < clubs. No they are not to club the < world's fair—it has had hard knocks ( enough. They are for the purpose i of enabling the members to visit the | world's fair in Chicago in 1893, and | to that end each member must pay in a certain amount every month, t There is no organization and 110 of-11 licer except a treasurer, who collects the money and is allowed a certain): percentage, which goes into his own i fund as dues, for collection. It is an easy way to save money for the purpose, and while one is saving it he doesn't miss it. During the Centennial in 187G a great many people did not visit the exhibition 011 the plea ot 110 funds. If they had taken time by the forelock anil laid aside a little money now and then, they would have had enough in a short time to pay all expenses. Will such a club be organizsd in La- Porte. Present indications do not point very strong to a rush of business at the county seat this summer, how ever, should work be resumed 011 the W . & N. B. which is not certain by any means, would afford employ ment to many of our people and make times extra good here and hereabouts during the summer months. By the completion of said road to connect with the L. Y. would without doubt boom Lake Mokoma and make her one of the leading summer resorts of the country. This, and this alone is the chief rea son why Lake Mokoina remains a standstill. The syndicate do not care to invest more until they are knowing of the fact that the road | will be built, hence the entire future prosperity of LaPorte,depends upon] the completion of the VV. <fc N. B. railroad. What do you think our harvest will be? * CHASED BY BEARS. A Track "Walker'* Run for Life--Saved by an Approaching Train. Martin Badger, of "Wilkes-Barre, a track walker on the Central Rail road'of New Jersey, had a remark able experience last Friday night. About 8 o'clock he was walking on the track through what is known as the ROCK Cut, along the mountain, about five miles xrom Wilkes-Barre. All at once he heard a noise behind hinv, and, turning, saw two bears coming crashing through the under brush and down the side of the cut upon the railroad track. Without a moment's hesitation thev turned and rushed toward him. Tlicy were evidently a huge she bear and her half grown cub, and both were wild with hunger. Badger having no weapons to de fend himself, turned and lied at the; top of his speed up the track. The bears pursued and for fully half a mile the chase continued. Badger maintained his lead with the utmost difficulty, and was fast being ex hausted. He must soon have sunk down helpless to meet a horrible death when the glare of a headlight shot around the curve, and a train came thundering along. Badger signaled it with his lantern, and then jumped aside. The bears fled when the train drew near, and when it stopped the exhausted track walk er got on board and was taken back to Wilkes-Barre. — » m «—— CLEV ELANDS LATEST VETO, Grover Cleveland's career as Presi dent was chiefly remarkable for a free trade message, and for vetoes. As a vetoer he has had, in the Presi dential chair, no rivals. When writing ''l forbid" across the face of legislation is considered, it is Cleve land first, the rest nowhere. Indeed, Congress came to regard him as a vast, obese No 1 iu its path. He has not forgotten his old ways, and, in the chaste language of Mr. Sullivan, he is "still in the ring" with his veto hatchet. The Democratic party, in Con gress and out of it, is committed to free coinage. By a practically unanimous vote, ttie Democratic members of the Senate and House declared for free coinage of silver, and nearly all of tiie Democratic papers throughout the country have endorsed Congress. So far as the Democracy lias power free coinage has passed. In other words, tl)U| Democratic party has passed it. But Cleveland has interposed a veto. In a letter read at a meeting held in Cooper Union to protest against free silver coinage, Mr. Cleveland reiterates his former opinions on the silver question and denounces as "a dangerous and reckless experiment". the policy of free coinage which his party would force upon the country. It will be interesting to note the effect of this boldest of Mr. Cleve land's vetoes upon the Democratic party. My be he can stem the silver llood that his party has let loose, and niaby he can't. Time will tell how potent the latest veto of the great retoer is. A Great Mone/ Scan iai. LONDON, Feb. 28.—Unless all signs fail the Irish party will be steeped in a financial scandal which will surpass anything that has tran spired since Parnell was called into the Divorce Court. Tim Healy openly threatened, during the Kil kenny campaign, to expose the rot tenness in the disbursement of funds contributed for the cause of Ireland. A nost serious war has broken out, between McCarthy, Parnell and the rest of the leaders. McCarthy demands to know what has become of $40,600 deposited in Paris, and Parnell's friends retort and want to know about money McCarthy got. The affair is most serious, and may result in stopping further con. tributbns from the United States. Twc little boys Archie Moore and Emorj Northrup was run over by the cais in Waverly on Tuesday of last wiek. The latter survived but little Moore was so badly crushed that lit died two hours after the ac cident. He was conscious up to the tine of his death and pled to see his father who was absent from home ft the time. The child was apprehensive that his time was not long aid remarked to his Sunday School teacher that he would not be with us class any longer. The scene as described, was most pathetic.
