The Dushore Gazcttt makes a great adieu about our home bank, referring to the Dushore First. Na tional Bank, and says everybody should patronize home enterprise.

It was hardly observed at LnL'orte as a holiday as oui streets wore its every day appear ance. In the evening, however things were slightly changed and u number of the boys "hooped her up' for St. Patrick. Justices of the Peace are now re qi ited to file a written acceptance of the office with the Prothonotory within thirty dtiys after their elec tion.

Owing to the turn of affairs at Jamison City in the way of litiga tion, our La Porte attorneys arc [■ailed on quite frequently for legal id vise. Several "Sitting in Equity' books; have been printed in con sequence. Congressman Ellis of Kentucky, leclares that Mr. Cleveland running for president on an anti-silver plat form could not carry more than two af the 119 counties of that state, and ivhatjis true of Kentucky" is un doubtedly true of other states in the south and west.— Albany Times.

It was reported that skating on I Lake Mokoma, was excellent, on {"Saturday" and a large number of i our young people took a stroll down, j They did not remain long, however, ; and was of the opinion that the re porter, was a fearful poor judge of ; the requirements of good skating ice. it was rough and tough. Look out for yourself during this changeable weather. Pneumonia | and other diseases are lurKing around now, ready to settle down upon their victims on the least provocation.

Luzerne county has seventv-nine prisoners in tiie county jail and lifty seven convicts in the Eastern Peni tentiary and the cost of the latter to the county in excess of their earn-' ings is $2,123.

L. fctormont, who is doing business in New York, was visiting his parents and his many friends in LaPorte, the early part of this week. Will informs us that V'ill Degen, biti room mate and formerly of La- Porte, is still hea 1 ' ik in Stearns Bros, shoe department.

A. bill has been introduced into the State Legislature and referred to the Coirimittee on education, pro viding that teachers having taught successively fix annual school terms, after examination and being recommended by the permanent certificate committee, shall receive a permanent certificate without ihe recommendation of any board of directors or any city or borough superintendent. 1 The case of the Philadelphia and Erie li. It. vs. the W. &N. B. t will be heard in the Supreme Court this week. The decision of the same may be looked for, perhaps in the tar future and perhaps not so long; DO person can fell when the guess ol the high tribunal will be revealed to the public. About 8000 ircut fris were re vived bv parties of LaPorte from the State Fish Commission, on Saturday and distributed in the sev cial streams close by the county seat. Parties of Eagles Mere, we understand, also received a large number of the "wee" speckled beauties on the same date and dis« tributcd them in the several creeks that abound in that vicinity. Joliri; McErn jjwho has i ; ecj£ntty been in the employ of James Mc- Farlane & Co., of LaPorte, and who was elected school director of this borough at the recent election, has taken up quarters in Warren coun ty under the supervision of his old superintendent at the LaPorte tan nery, Richard English. We under stand that several more of the boys will invest in a railroad ticket for the same place. Frank Lingo of Merchantville, N. J., (colored) who is being tried for the murder of Mrs. Miller of said village, is endeavor'ng to prove an ilibi. J lis attorneys feel pretty certain that they will free him from .lie hands of justice, notwithstand ng that he (Lingo) has served five sentences in county jails. Lingo it ivill be remembered was arrested for the murder of Annie Leconey but was found "not guilty," hence the notoriety of this trirtl. We of an in vitation to the masquerade bull given in the Hall at Lopez 011 Tuesday evening last, March Hth, but owing to other engagements were unable to be present, which we regret verj - much. The affair was a grand success, and for the like has never been equalled at the saw dust city, which >s accounted for by the master ly skill of 1 lie committee in charge : F. U. Rice. VV. B. Jennings and Jl. J. Cast If. N tic-o. Mr. M. F. Albert will open a Spring Normal School at Lal'orte, i'a , April, 181)1.

Trout FisKinvj Season, According to Smull's Legislative Hand Book,- the season for catching speckled trout commences April 15t and ends July 15 At present there' is a bill pending in the House to make the season from April Ist to July Ist; but it has not yet become a law. It is not allowable to catch trout- otherwise than with a hook and line, and for any violation of this there is a heavy penalty attach ed. In just another month fisher men may cast their flies. In New Orleans on Satnrday, March 14th, eleven Italians were taken from said prison and were shot hung and clubed to death by a mob of 3,000 citizens. The affair grew out of the murder of chief of police Hennessy, who was, it is claimed murdered by said Italians The Italians were arrested and stood a trial and were released. The good people of New Orleans were not satisfied with the verdict and took it upon themselves to admin ister justice which resulted as above stated. A well known superintendent says that after the Bell Telephone patents have expired in 1893, there will be such improvements introduced in to the service as will surprise the public. He asserts that a busi ness man may sit at his desk in his private office, and by simply press, ing an electric button, be enabled to call lip the central office and con verse with his patrons and corres pondents anywhere along the line, in the same or other cities, without the medium of the transmitter and the receiver. If this is possible, why is the public deprived of thefidj advantages for two 3cars more?—l Es. 11 We have engaged the services of [ H. W. Osier of Lincoln Falls, as I solicitor for the KKPUBLICAN. RC > ceipts given by Mr. Osier will be ■ acknowledged by us. Some people seem to think that the old fence law is still in opera tion, while others are in doubt. The following will explain the mattfr ) and must forever settle it: In Clarion County a farmer let his hogs forage on his neighbors lands, ond ot. whom brought suit for damages. The county court awarded them. The case was cnrried to the Supreme Court, where damages were still al lowed. This decision settles the legality of the act repealing the act of 1790, and means that no one has got to fence against his neighbor's cattle ; and if the cattle do damage, fence or no fence, the owner of the stock is liable. The "Karns bill"' which provides for the payment of laborers in the lumber woods in case the contractor is sold out by the sherilf or any other ollicer of the law, has past second reading without a decerning vote and all probability will become a law in the near future. The bill provides that in case a contractor of a corporation, such as is being ex perienced at Jamison Cityj fails, owing, perhaps to the non payment of the corporation to said contractor for work done, and in case the bark, logs and lumber are exposed at force sale the lirst moneys arising there from must be applied on the labor- ( ers' claim, thus you see makes the i laborer the contractor. This bill £ surely has the appearance of good 112 law and we trust for the good of 1 laborers thus engaged will pass the i Senate and be placed on the pamph let as such.

Tomlinson Esq., of Montours- j ville. is a special agent for said company and our many Sullivan county people, who anticipateiifting a policy will find it to their ad-; vantage to give this gentleman a| call. We desire to specially call the at tention of our democratic free trade friends to a few solid facts, which like nil other iacts present the only convincing argument known to poor weak doubting human nature: When the McKinley bill was pend ing, and indeed after it had become a law, you insisted tj>> tit was ab surd to put a tan/ on linen, be cause this country could not build and successfully operate linen mills. The tariff was put on linen, and the result is, that three linen mills are already in operation in the New England States, while others are being built and equipped as rapidly as possible tit Minneapolis, Minn ; at Eau Claire, Wis.; and at Sioux- Falls, South Dakota. So much for one free trade prediction. Now, for another. All during the late cam paign the working men were told by democratic editors and orators that the tariff on tin plates put a tax upon his dipper and dinner bucket, notwithstanding they knew, or should have known, that the tin plate section of the McKinley bill would not become a law until July 1, Fb9J. Now for the effect of that law upon American industries. Be fore its enactment not a pound of tin plate was made in the United States, now American Mills, are turning it out by the ton and more than a dozen large mills arc in pro cess of erection in various sections of the country, and the tin mines in this country are being for the first time profitably worked, and, most important of all, the price of tin plate is to.day, in Chicago and New York, twentv per cent leas than it was List September, and dealers are predicting that it will be still cheap er after the new mills get to work.- A DUCE OF A TIME! ttttttttttt AT THE ONE PRICE CLOTHING HOUSE MARKS is at it again, playing the ducc with prices : Playing the' diice with profits.
