Westeott, collector of Fox twp., made us a friendly call, while in attendance at court on Monday. We have given the columns of our paper, hut little attention, this we'ek. Too much other work to look after. J. S. Harrington, dealer in boots and shoes of Dushore, has a new pd in this week's issue of the REPUBLI CAN. Miss Eva Crawford, daughter of the Rev. J. W.

Stull, of the same tee, were callers at the county t, Sundaj\ V few more days without frost will place the great corn crop of the east beyond danger.

"Snip'' Housekneclit for a number of years foreman for the Lyon Lum ber Company, has recently accepted a similar position for Dorsey Bros., near Lopez. 'Snip' is a practical lumberman and the Dorsey Bros., are quite fortunate in securing his ; ervices." The woman who prattles nbout her love or matrimonial affairs to her neighbors and friends gives un doubted proof that she is either a knave or a fool and not worthy of being a wife or mother. We understand that the proper officials have recently changed the location of the Eagles Mere 11. R. depot. The change is made to what is known as the .Tones' chop ping, opposite of the Clill House. Before starting fires in your stoves and furnaces, have the smoke Hues all cleaned and examined. It will save your homes from being filled with smoke and coal gas and make your (ires burn better. If you owe this paper—no matter how trifling the sum—we would be delighted to receipt your bill. Many small amounts make a comfortable sum in the aggregate, and the ag gregate is needed just now.

It is prophesied that we are to liave an unusually severe winter. The same has been said nearly every year for years, and still our winters iire not over severe, and many times have been very mild, although ad vertised to be severe beforehand. J. Sloat Fassett, republican nomi nee for governor of New York state, was born on the loth day of the month, his baby was born on the 13th, and on the 13th day of the month lit was installed into olliee :is collector of the port of New York. As the gunning season has now opened, accidents will be reported from various quarters. "Every uportsman should remember his life depends upon the care exercised in the use of his weapon. Carelessness iu this case may be homicidal or suicidal as the case may be. The court room has recently been papered and presents a very credit able appearance. Fred Thomas and John Benjamin, both of Onshore, did the work. Court guests who desire papering done will do well to inspect the job and give Mr. Thomas a call. The Republican chances ot success in both New York State and Ohio, are considered by the bosses of both parties, much better than is the Democracy. It certainly looks as if it might be Governor J. Sloat Fassett of N. Y. and Major McKin ley of Ohio. We desire to inform our corres pondents that unless they sign their names to all communications, we shall refuse to publish their letter. This is perhaps the 50th time we liave made this request but it seems to be necessary to relate the same old story about once a month on an average. Mr. and Mrs. Judge Mason of LaPorte, issued cards recently to a large circle of friends, inviting them to the 50th anniversary of their wedding, which occured on Wednes day the 23 d.

The many tax payers of the county will be pleased to learn that there has been a move taken' in this matter. Elias Young of Columbia county, who was arrested sometime since for the murder of Lieut. Stewart llobin son in 1861, and tried in Wilkes- Barre, last week was found not guilty, on Friday. We give full particulars elsewhere in this issue.

Watrous, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Judge Mason, was stricken with paralysis at her par ents home on Tuesday morning at about Ba. 111.

Waddell and Hill are in attendance. Latter —Tluirsdaj-, 8 a. 111. Ida is some better. Mi » ♦ . A doctor will sit down and write a prescription ; time, five minutes; the paper and ink, one-fourth of a cent, and the patient pays £l, $5, $lO, as it may be. A lawyer writes ten or twelve lines and get from $lO to SSO from his client. All editor writes a half colnm puff for a man ; he pays a mah 50 cents to Si for putting it in type; prints it on #7 worth of paper, sends it to several thousand people, and surprises the pulled man if he makes any charges. —Ex. The campaign in New York this year is 110 ordinary contest. The Democrats, if 1 hey succeed in de feating the introped young Fassett for Governor, have warm work on hand. On the part of the Republi cans the fight will be aggressive from the start. So it is in Ohio, and will be in Pennsylvania. In view of the national contest of 1892, both parties will strugg'e for the ascendency. With New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in tbe Republican column this fall, and the Democracy of the Southern States shattered by the Farmer's Alliance, there will be little hope for the Democratic party in 1892. Manj' queer things happen in politics. Colonel Van Nort, the republican candidate for governor of Maryland, has challenged his democratic opponent, Frauk Brown, to plow ten acres of ground to see who is entitled to the votes of the farmers' alliance in his state. This would certainly be an original and practical method of finding out which of the two competitors for high public trust is the better farm er. But there is not the slightest danger that candidate Frank Brown will accept Colonel Van Nort's challenge. Brown is iiot a practical farmer.

I) Walter, of Mill City, was nominated for associate judge, and Philij: Shupp of Tunkhannock for jury commissioner. Edwin Stephens of Nicholson, and H. \V. Lee, ol Easton were chosen delegates to the State Convention. There was no nomination for delegate to the con stitntional convention, but con ferees were appointed to confei with those from Bradford county. The Cow-Horn Fly. State Entomologist Lintner, ol New Jersey, gives the following general directions for checking the ravages of the "Cow-Horn Fly (more generally Known hereabouts is the HessLn fly): "Much may be done to prevent their multiplica tion and spread, by distributing lime about the cattle, or at once spreading it in the fields, dry. Fish ail, with some carbolic acid on it, rubbed with a sponge over the tips of the hair of the cattle, once a week, tvill relieve them to a great extent from the attacks of the blood-thirsty Hies. Irvin Reynolds of Elinira, N. Y. ind the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Philander Reynolds, while in the jet of jumping off from a moving uar recently, near Elmira, was thrown under the wheels and crush ed so badly tliat he died in a few hours after the accident. Deceased was a modle young man and was en gaged in the manufacturing of cigars. He leaves a w>f£ and two children as well as his agev parents and a large circle of friends to mourn his un timely death. His father and mother who loved him most dearly take his death exceedingly hard and have been ill ever since. Irvin wag of course the baby of the family and was humored by his parents and his death has caused a sting in the household that never can be healed. Deceased has several relatives in this section among them the editor who extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and parents. One of the boldest acts ever per petrated In our quiet little village, was recorded on Saturday evening at about 9 p. m. A man by the name of Michael Manion who hns been in the employ of the LaPorte tannery for several weeks, climbed through an open window of Judge Ingham's residence and secreted himself underneath the servants bed, Mrs. Vira Johnson. She was out at the time and on her return in company with friends, spied the stranger's feet extending out from underneath the bed. She immedi ately called her company who were rcmaing on the out side of the house and in a "York" minute the fellow landed in the middle of Muucy St., where he was knocked down kicked and fearfully bruised. As soon as he was let go he took to his heels up the street on a two forty gate. We understand that he left town, on Sunday, which was perhaps the best thing he could do under the circumstances, as a warrant would have been issued for his arrest, on Monday, had he remained. To be a Test Case. The new law regarding the elec tion of tax collectors and their duties is to be tested by the commissioners of Erie county, who have refused to issue a duplicate to the tax collector of Girard township. It is alleged the law discriminates against farm ers who do not realize the profits on their crops until late in the year, while by paying early there is a re bate of 5 per cent. Those who pay later must settle the full amount, and those who are unable to meet the claim before the eleventh hour have a penalty imposed upon them. It is represented that this unneces sarily increases the clerical work in the commissioners' office, besides operating to the disadvantage of those who cannot always pay before the time announced for closing the treasurer's books. This case will be watched with interest all over the state, as the law operates the same in every county -Eric Herald. PICK the BEST!
