Quite a large number of LaPorters drove over to witness the immersion. Sensationals are not common here, but we have every reason to believe that the day is not far distant when one will be recorded in our columns and one that will make several of our people blush with shame. The machinery to which the M. E. church bell is attached should be dosed with a goodly supply of oil, thus preventing that moanful sound which is distinctly heard all over town when the bell rope is pulled. Only a comparatively small sum is now lacking to insure the exten sion of the Montrose Railway, and J. R. Raysfoid and other gentlemen interested are putting forth strenu ous efforts to raise tlie required amount, with flattering prospects of ultimate success. The state superintendent of public instruction has called a meeting of the county superintendents of the state, to be held at Philadelphia on the 2(!tli and 27th of March. A meeting of the National superintend ents will be held in the same city on the 24th, 25th, and 2Gth of the same month. The county commissioners of Snyder county Las offered a reward of $' ,000 for the capture of ttie murderer of Charley Ilane. Hane was shot some 18 months since in an open field at t'ie dead of night. Ths long elapse of time will make it dif ficult for the detectives to ferret out and convict the guilty party. The festival given at the residence of T. J. Kecler, on Tuesday e\ening for the benefit of Rev. J. YV. Craw ford, was a grand success. The net receipts of the same, were 26.50. Nearly every household of the town was represented in the gathering, by one or inore members and a very pleasant evening enjoyed. The LaPorte banker, J. A. Jordan, is arranging the interior of his build ing very nicely. Mr. Jordan has been in the banking business for the past years and knows how to make things convenient for the business. He has had many callers, but re fuses to do business until the 16th of the present month at which time he has announced the opening of the same. Two Kentucky Congressmen saj - Cleveland is impossible as the nomi nee of the Democratic party for President since he pronounced against free silver. The impression is said to prevail in the outlying districts of Kentucky that the free silver policy means a distribution of silver coin by the Government among the needy citizens of the couutry. Samuel Rightniire has given up] the contract of carrying the mail' between this place nnd Forksville and the P. M.of LaPorte has been obliged to hire the work done by individuals This confounded mail route has caused lots of trouble to postmasters along the line and it is to be hoped that at the next letting by tiie Government—that the per son who receives the contract ol carrying the same will get a sufficient compensation to do the work as it should be done, thus give us our mail from that section regularly and not three times a week as in the past. Our exchanges are warning their readers to look out for a gang of men traveling about the country making contracts for painting roofs. If they offer to paint your roof for $5 or any price, don't fail to ask them how much they charge for the paint thej' put on before you close the contract. It is in the price of paint where the fraud exists. Squire Simmons of Sonestown, while in attendance as witness on the Fiester case, made us a pleasant call, on Monday. The Squire in forms us that he has married seven couple within the past year. Who among our numerous Sullivan county Magistrates can beat this record 1 There is considerable talk about resuming work on the W. & N. B. Should the rumor prove true the hearts of many pople will be glad dened in this community. Give us a railroad and in five years LaPorte will not only be the county seat of [ Sullivan but will be the metropolis of the county. People who never pay their sub scription for their local paper, are always surprised to see the amount of their indebtedness when they re ceive a bill from the printer of the same. The proper and best way for all concerned is to pay the amount at the commencement of each year or at the end, either one would be satisfactory to us. Chauncey M. Depew of New York and one of the directors of the N. Y., New Haven and Hartford Railroad, was arrested with several other di rectors of said road last week for negligence in said capacity causing the Harlem Tunnel disaster in which several people were killed. Chauncey gave bail in the sum of $25,000 and his bondsman was Cornelius Vandtrbilt. N tice. Sir. M. F. Albert will open a Spring Normal School at La Porte, Pa., April, 1891.

Kilmer as president; one at Windham Summit, with J. E. Weller president, and one at New Albany, with C. A. Plummer, president. Others will soon be started. The county organizer C. 11. Jewell, of! Bumpville, is now in the western ! part of the county.— Bradford Jie- I pubHcan. The Fishing Creek Lumber Company, operating in Columbia and Sullivan counties, which assign jed several months ago, lias reor ganized. On Saturday it was j chartered as the Phoenix Lumber Company, with a capital of $l. r ),000. I The following are directors: Ed ward Eberman, Charles 11. Kline, John H. Baumgardner, Lancaster; Robert AlcEwen, Hiram A. Mcrri man, Nelson Byers, Williamsport; E. J. B. James, Kane, McKean county. For a year or more anonymous printed letters, of a viscious, lewd, vulgar character, have been sent at irregular intervals to prominent Methodists within the bounds of the Centra! Pennsylvania Conference. The letters had but one purpose and that was to ruin the character of presiding elder John Donahue Detectives were put upon the case and last Saturday Hiram E. Suther land, a local preacher of Ilazleton, was arrested as the principal, with several . participants. Sutherland with a tortune of SIOO,OOO paid Rev Donolme SIO,OOO. We give full pro ceedings of the case elsewhere. Th© Truth. lie who thinks better of bis neigh bors than they deserve is seldom a bad man, for the standard by which his judgment is guided is the good ness of his own heart. It is only the base who believe all men base,"or, in other words, like themselves. This is not intended to apply to any one individual, but to all who judge others by their own standard ol measurement. A bill has passed the Legislature ' and will probably become a law, which enlarges the jurisdiction o! the Chief Burgess and provides for the enforcement of borough laws. It also makes the term of office three years instead of one year. G. A. R. Encampment, The summer encampment of the G. A. K., which for a number ol years has been held at Gettysburg, will meet in Williamsport this year early in July. Arrangements are being perfected and money is being collected to defray the necessary expenses of the encampment. From the information obtained from those who have the matter in hand it is expected to be one of the grandest encampments ever held in the state. The local committee have the as surance that there will be a large at tendance and they have also arranged to have a number of regimental as sociations meet there at the same time. The grounds for the encamp ment have been secured. Green's Goods Store Closed, The extensive anci well known dry goods store of W H. D. Green, on Main street, was closed by the sheriff Tuesday morning, on execu tions issued the afternoon previous. The claims against the establish ment amount to about one-half the value of the stock on hand, and even ou forced sale would probably pay all indebtedness. Mr. Gr< ■en has been a straight-for ward, popular and honest merchant, and it is gratifying that arrange ments are already made by him set tling these pressing obligations, and he will reopen next Monday. Sin cere and earnest expressions of re gret are heard in every quarter at his euibarassment.— Toicanda Re view. On April Ist the price of sugar to consumers will fall 2 cents. This is one of the results of that much abused MeKinley tariff law, which removes the importation tax on raw sugar. It takes effect on April 1, and merchants all over the coun try have been preparing for it. They are carrying lighter stocks now of refined sugar than ever, but the bonded warehouses are taxed to their utmost capacity. There is not a household in the land which will not reap the benefit of this reduction. J n fact, its ellects will operate more evenly than a reduced price in al most any article of food. Sugar is used nearly as largely in the work ingnian's family as in the rich man's family in purportion to numbers, and the saving will be universal. This accounts for the silence ot free trade Democratic papers, every one of which was howling itself hoarse last year over the alleged rise in prices and the oppressions the Me- Kinley law would bring on the poor man. The bill which taxes coal com panies one cent on each ton of coa' mined, to be set aside for the pur pose of establishing a fund for dis abled miner's and miner's widows passed the house at Ilaraisburg on Monday. This measure like many others looks fair 011 its face, but the tax will come off of the miners in the end. The more demands of this sort that are made on the operators the lower the wages will get. There is more slush in the mining laws of this state than in any other class of legislation that has been en acted during the last quarter of a century. Most of the laws passed ostensibly for the miri , s benefit are indeed detrimental to his interests, and the continued exactions made upon operators has had more to do with the steady reduction of wages than any other cause. The statute books of the state contain all man ner of laws designed for the preser" valion of the lives and health of those who work underground, and yet statistics show that the number of men killed and injured in the mines of Pennsylvania is compara tively as great as it ever was. In our judgment about the only per sons benefitted by nine-tenths of the mine legislation, arc those who hold the offices that are created by it, and the sooner the hard-working men who handle the pick and shovel realize that they are indirectly sup. porting these officials and move to abolish them, the better it will be for them as a class.
