We hav'nt heard of any Republi
cans of Sullivan county who desire
togo to the State convention as a

State convention, we imagine, and
the honor is not great.

Sheriff Utz has decided to sell all
land advertised at sheriff sale at the
Court House in LaPorte during
court weeks. This surely is an im
provement upon the old custom of
selling real estate by writ. The
former custom has been to advertise
as soon as the writ was issued, thus
strewing them along from time to
time. The plan recently adopted
by Sheriff Utz is practiced in near
ly all of our adjoining counties and
there is no good reason why it
should not prove satisfactory in
little Sullivan.
A girl in Kentucky has recovered
SSOO damages from a steamboat
company for naming a boat after her
without asking her permission, and

nose into the river business for all
she is worth."

call on Saturday afternoon and
during a conversation about, the re
cent laws, spoke very nicely of our
Member the Hon. Russel Karns.
Mr. Krickbaum is seeking to better
his health which has been effected
for some time. On Sunday Mr. and
Mrs. Karns and Mr. Krickbaum and
Miss Miller drove down to Lake
Mokoma and over to the 'Mere.
The money that soldiers receive
for pensions goes into general cir
culation. It amounts to about
$135,000,000 all told, and what does
it matter if it cost twice that. The
country has grown into magnificent
proportions, and is still growing
rapidly. They who strike at the
pensions of the heproes are enemies
of the country, and no mistake.
They offered their bodies as targets
to be shot at for their country.
Could any higher or nobler offering
be made.?
A Narrow Escape.
W. H. D. Green had a runaway
the Fourth which rnigh have result
ed very seriously. He was out rid
ing, accompanied by his daughter,
Mrs. Biishnell, and her child. Mr.
Green was holding the child and
driving. While going out Third
street the horse suddenly started
run when near the Catholic church
making strait for the deep ravine.
Mr. Green had no time to give the
child to his daughter, but with
presence of mind he gave a sudden
pull on one line, and threw the
horse 011 its side. The carriage was
turned over but no one was injured
except a few scratches on Mr.
Green's face. Some one caught the
animal before it couid regain its
feet, and what might have been a
serious accioent was averted. The
child held tn Mr. Green's arms came
out without a scratch, and although
Mrs. Bushnell was held fast by the
carriage top 9hc was not injured.—

Lackawanna county not only has
one of the finest court houses in the
state but also has one of the best
jails, which contains about one hun»
died cells and is well patronized.
A few days ago a sort of an in
ventory was taken to see how many
prisoners had been entertained there
since the jail was completed, and
the number actually figured up to
6,703, betweeq Sept. 12, 1878 and
June 22, 1801. Of this number
Sheriff Stevens cared for 1,039;
Sheriff Crippen 1,009; Sheriff Lewis
751, and Sheritl Robinson 1,904. So
far no person has escaped from the
prison, but there have been several
deaths within its walls, some from
suicide. The jail is so well managed
that the grand jury invariably re
ports it in gcod condition. The
average number of prisoners there
all the time is probabl)' eight}' or
ninety.
The prettiest view in this section
of the country is known 1 112 the
"Fiester Hill" about 4 miles from
LaPorte on the Sonestown road.
On a clear day with telescope the
town of Muncy and the river at said
place is plainly visible and the
smoke from the machine shops at
Williamsport as well. A glance to
the East over the North mouutain
and the scenery that meets the ej-e
in this direction is ample reward
for the trouble ofmaking thejourncy.
The deep valley through which tho
Muncy Creek passes is the first ob~
ject of interest and then the moun
tain sitlo where green fields extend
way up nen'r the mountain top pre
senting a beautiful sight. We
would urge our LaPorte and 'Mere
guests to point before re*
turning home. The roads are good
and the drive pleasant and will af
ford you one day's pleasant outing
