At a meeting of the Republican Standing Committee of Sullivan county it was resolved that the Re publicans of the various election districts of the county shall meet af the usual places of holding elections in their districts on the Bth day of August A. D. 181)1, between the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock p. m.for the purpose of electing delegates to a County Convention to be held at the Court House in LaPorte, I'a., on Tuesday August 11, 1891, at 1 o'clock p. m.to elect a delegate to the Republican State Convention and to transact such other business as may be deemed necessary.

The national republican conven tion of 1888 provided by resolution that the call of tlieS convention in 1892 must be issued at least six months before the meeting took place. This is one reason for the meeting of the executive committee in Washington to decide when tlies general committee shall meet to is sue tlio call. Thej Press comments in this wise as to the place of meet ing: "From present appearances there will be some lively competi tion among a number of cities for iho honor of entertaining the con dition. New Yortc, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Cinncinnati, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Denver, and San Francisco have already put out feelers to secure the convention, and there will probably be other cities named as soon as the call for the national committee meeting is is sued. It is less material where the convention is held than that it shall nominate the winning ticket of 1892." It is understood that if Mr. Cleve land should decide togo to Ohio and make speeches on behalf of Campbell, he will be challenged by Senator Sherman to a joint debate on national Issues. This would be a trying test of Cleveland's courage. To meet such an advesary as John Sherman on the stump with the tar iff and Federal finances for the chief themes, is a prospect which even abler Democrats than (trover Cleve land would be reluctant to face. s Quay fitrpa Out Quay's retirement from the Rep ublican National Com mil tee no doubt meets the approval of his owp party, but by the Democrats liis action will be greeted by exclama tions of delight ami satisfaction. His executive ability and skill as a politcal manager made him the ter ror ot opposition, for as long as he was at the helm they Knew that it would be immposible to execute methods ol political warfare peculi ar to thier party. It is admitted on all sides that Quay's superb general ship saved New York to the Repub licans in 1888, for with the tactics employed by him in New York city fraud would have prevailed in that hot bed of Democracy and Harrison would have been injustly defeated. These services of Mr. Quay were not appreciated by his own party. For months he has been the subject of abuse, much of it uncalled for, and no doubt recognizing the fact that his retirement would be neces sary for the preservation of that harmony which is so essential to success, Mr, Quay stepped out. Like every man Senator Qufty has his faults and he has made mis takes seriously detrimental to his influence as a party leader, liis ac tion preliminary to the recent Guber uatcripl campaign \vas f.n error that proved costly to his party, aud was an exhibition of stubbornness on his part that resulted in the loss of much confidence (in him. His efforts to regain that lost confidence only served to still further work against him, and it is believed that he was shrewd enough to realize that the recovery of his former prestige was entirely out of the question. Mr. Quay has also been the vic tim of the callumniator, and al. though he met all charges boldly and openly he was unable to wholly vindicate himself, especially as his politically tenemics contributed thier aid to the mugwump element so loudly clamoring for his destruction. It however, tbat his retirement at this time will result beneficially to the party. Mr. Clark son, who will succeed to the Chair manship, is a gentleman amply qual ified to perform,the duties of that responsible office, and he will prdve impregnable to the attacks that are sure to be made. New men and new methods ought to result in good. —»« The i.ai.it ■ The latest fad has taken a firm hold upon the girls of Philadelphia, saj's, the Record of that city. The idea seems absurd but there are many who have firm faith in the ef flacacy of the test. If you would like to try it, pull a hair out of a girl's head, and tie on the end of it a gold ring of the engagement variety. Fill a glass partly full of water, and over it, just inside the glass, suspend the ring. Just as sure as shooting according to the convinced faddist, the lini? will swing against the side of the glass and click out the num ber of years contained in the age of the person from whose head the hair is taken. It is said to equally as re liable in telling the ages of dumb animals as well as human bfcings. Into Wiuiamsport Soon. The Lehigh Valley Railroad is pushing its lines toward Williams port, and before a year has gone it will have completed a through line to Williamsport. President George L. Sanderson, of the Williamsport and North Branch Railroad said that the Lehigh Valley had built its Nordmont branch to within eight miles of his road, where a connec tion will be made to Williamsport via the Williamsport and North Branch and the Reading Railroads. —Towanda Review. The Penticost Lumber Company has a contract to furnish six million feet of hemlock lumber yearly from their mills in Sullivan county, Pa., to the Richards Company of Scran ton. Lumber is worth at the mill in that county from $8 to $lO per thousand and the bark is sold at Stroudsburg and a tannery in Colum bia county at six dollars per cord. Bark is bringing about one dollar pt r cord more than it did laot year. —Honesdale Ind. The Gazette and Review are having a very polite set-to on paper. There is no crash about it, simply lovingly words. When one of the editors steps on the others toes, lie simply requests him to "histe,'' and he gets over. The Muncy Luminary was 50 years old last Friday, and in honor J of the event issued an eight page paper re-hersing much of interest that was done in the West Branch Valley from 1841 to the present time. It was very interesting. The Pitt«ton Gazette says that the general feeling there is that young | Lane is not to blame in the inatter of the drowning of the McGowan girls, notwithstanding the corres pondents of certain city papers would make it appear thea ecident was the result of his carelessness or reckless daring. | "CelestiV a place of five dwellings [and about one mile and a half from LaPorte, on the 'Mere road, is the centre of attraction of city guests both of LaPorte and Eagles Mere. Celestia, was founded by the late P. E. Armstrong who owned several hundred acres of land in the vicinity and in 1804 deeded the same to the Lord, and this is what attracts their I attention. John Sprogle a reporter on the Phila. Press will visit Celestia soon and write the place up. Pi-oliibilion Con 111j Convention. At a meeting of the Prohibition Standing Committee of Sullivan county, it was decided that the primary elections for the purpose of electing delegates to the county con vention be held in the regular voting places in the several districts Aug. 8, 1891, between the hours of 5 and 7 o'clock p. m. The county convention to convene in the Court House at LaPorte Aug. 14, at 1 o'clock for the purpose of electing Delegates to the State Convention at Harrisburg and to transact such other business as the convention deem proper. It Was also decided that Mr. Hayder deliver an address at La- Porte on the evening of the conven tion. R. A. CONKLIN, Secy. JAMISON CITY HUMS. A cold wave struck our town the early part of the week.

Suit and family left for Virginia, on Monday, where Mr. S. has accepted a position iu the rail road business. P. J. was one of our leading business men, and we are sorry to see him go. The Pheonix Lumber Co. are doing a good business on the creek these days. They have about 10,- 000,000 feet of logs at the mill dam. The mill is now in operation and it makes our town much livelier. The City Hotel at this place, seems to be taken the lead. It is a good house and any body stopping at this hotel will be cared for right. Our friend Thomas P. Cadden, is the obliging clerk, and every one has a good word for him. 11. J. McFadden's New World pavilian show exhibited at this place July 30th. Tho weather was bad but nevertheless they had a very large turn out- There was an ex cursion train from the West Branch that numbered about i.'so. Some ol otir people was somewhat taken taken back—the elephant did not appear. Picnic excursions still comes. One from Tuibitsville Thursday numbered about 1000. The day was I very damp and rainy.

Mrs. Ilenry Gilbert, was buried at this place Sunday. She had been sick for five months. Deceased leaves a husband and two children.
