DIED: At Lafnrie, Pa, on Sunday
Evening Itlarch 29, 1891, Jlrn.
Mary A. neylrrt, Wife of
tVllllain .tlerlcrt K»q,,
In Ibe Sixty- Fourth
l'ear of (for Jlgr.
Mrs. Meylert whose maiden name
was Gregory, was born in Dimmock
Susquehanna county, but the greater
portion of her childhood, and early
womanhood were spent in the City
of Hartford Conn., iu the family of
the late Reuben Chpptnan, surround
ed by the best Christian influences.
She early made a profession of re
ligion and united herself Vvith the
First Eaptist Church, of Hartford
then under the pastorship of the
Rev. R. Turnbull.
In 1851 she married William Mej*-
( lert and since that date has i-esided
at LaPorte Sullivan county,
where she Has ever been earnestly
and actively engaged in the advance
ment of all Christian and moral
work until absolutely prevented by
impaired health. Upon the organi
zation of the LaPorte and Eagles-
Mere Baptist Church, over thirty
j five years ago, she was one of the
constituent membersbeingassociated
with the families of Baldwin, Jones,
Haywood, Pe&le, Little and others in
aiding and forwarding the mission
work of Rev. N. Callender, whose
zealous, self sacrificing work for his
Master will long be remembered by
the older families of our county.
She leaves a husband and five
children to mourn her loss. Not only
was Mrs. Meylert a zealous and
devout Christian, ever ready and
efficient, iu all church work but she
was one of those noble coucicntious
self sacrificing women whose in-
Uuence for good was felt by all.
Ever ready to do all in her power
to assist her friends, neighbors or
others who were in need of help. (
The poor and needy wefe never
turned from her door, but all were
made to feel that in her they had a
friend. She was a most kind and affec ;
tionuto wife and mother a pleasant
and obliging neighbor, and one
whose loss will be felt by our whole
community.
She has been a great sufferer for
years, but has borne her sufferings
with most christian fortitude with-1
out inurmurings or complaint. Of
her it can be most truthfully said : j
"her children shall rise up and call
her blessed."
The family have the heartfelt;
sympathy of our whole community, j

The bill before"the House at Har
rifburg relating to the conducting
of mines in Sullivan county is just
now attracting considerable atten
tion in the Bmniee vicinity. We
understand that large petitions for
and against the bill have been sent
in for the consideration of Members.
James A. Ross and R. H. Guy, both
acting in the capacity of mine Super
intendents at Bernice, made llar
risburg a call, recently in the inter
est of the bill. It is generally un
derstood thrt should the bill be
come a law the result would be very
detrimental to miners in this locality,
while a few (?) have quite the re
verse opinion. It is expected that
the bill will coifie up for second
reading next week and a lively time
is looked for. We were given to under
stand that Hon. Russel Karns is op
posed to the bill and will take de
cided steps to defeat it.. Eon.
Grant Herring, senator of tbis dis.
trict will no what he can to further
the pass.'vge of the bill.
A'retired farmer who has had
time to try experiments and note
the results, says that for the last
three years he has planted a bean or
two in each potato hill, and has
never seen a Colorado beetle on the
potatoe tops where beans were grow
ing in the same hill. If this is a
protection against the bugs, the
remedy is simple, and will pay for
| the trouble in the crop of beans.—

Grip has taught the sound lesson
that a cold cannot be neglected in
onr climate as it can in the more
temperate Winters of England. It
has taken some two hundred j'ears
for our race to learn this, and if grip
leads all "colds" to be treated with
the respect there serious maladies
deserve, even grip will not be in
vain.

tions of Error in County Audit as

And now to wit March 27, 1891,

er of Sullivan county, in each ac
count to wit:
In the statement of the account of
Jacob Lorah Treasurer in account
witli the County of Sullivan for 1890,
wherein there is charged against
him as received for the use of the
county fourteen thousand eight hun
dred and seventy-nine dollars and
twenty-eight cents and credit given
for ten thousand five hundred and
sixty-eight dollars and nine cents,
and balance found against him four
thousand three hundred and eleven
dollars and nineteen cents, the
charges and credits are not correct
and the balance charged against tim
is erroneous.
And further in the statements of
the accounts of Jacob Lorah, Treas
urer, in account with the several
townships and boroughs for taxes,
received from unseated lands for
road, school and building purposes
the charges and credits in each case
are not correct, and the balance in
each of said accounts, as charged
against him, are erroneous.
And further in the said report
there is charged against him, thei
said Jacob I otah treasurer as afore-1
said for poor funds due to the sever-1
al townships to wit: Poor taxes
received from lands returned and
unseated for the use of the several
townships the charges and credits in
each case are not correct, and the
balanco in each of said accounts as
charged against him is erroneous.
And further in the statement in
said Report of the account of Jacob
Lorah Treasurer with the several
townships for the proportion of
money due them tor licenses the
amounts charged agaiust him asj
due the township of Davidson is an
error the proper credit not having
been allowed him.
And further the said Report is in
error in all of the said accounts
where balances are charred against
him, in not giving bitn the saidj
Jacob Lorah credit for five per cent
commission due to him for money
collected and received by him ac
cording to law which has been or;
must bo paid out by him. Tliej
amount of credits with held from
him by the county Auditor's as com
missions as aforesaid is seven hun
dred dollars in the aggregrate.
Wherefore the said Jacob Lorah
prays that the issue made up in this

dence.
