Mason Esq., of LaPorte, was engaged in surveying a tract of 'and known as the Mercur tract near Bernice, on Friday last. He was issisted by A. J. Hackley, John V. Finkle and C.

Thomson of Dushore, was doing business at the Court House in LaPorte, on Mon day. Mr. Thomson has been a faithful official and has served the people of Sullivan county equally as well as any of his predecesors.

Pierce returned to La- Porte, on Saturday and has accept ed his old position, that of clerk at the LaPorte Hotel.

There is some talk of the Ohio Republican State Committee adopt ing a resolution protesting against Calvin S. Brice be'ng allowed to take hi- - seat in the United States Senate on the ground that he was elected through bribery and is not a duly qualified citizen of the State within the meaning of the statute. The National Republican Execu tive Committee met in Washington, 1).

Clarkson succeeds Qua} - as chair man and William Barbour of Newi York succeeds Dudley as treasurer, i Peter White of Cherry and Miss ' Emma Deilcmer of Lopez, were married one day last week. The courtship was very brief, about four days we are told. They are spend ing their honeymoon with the Mrs', people near Tunkhannock. We ex tend congratulations and wish them lots of prosperity and happiness. The many friends of Drs. llerr. maun and Waddell of Dushore, do not take kindly to the sluring re marks made of these gentlemen in the Dushore Jieview. People do not enjoy having their lamily physi cian belittled by the press. If these highly esteemed physicians are un satisfactory to Mr. Newell, it is his privilege to aeex medical aid else where, but the remprks are uncalled for. Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Albert and Master Lester of LaPorte accom panied bv Mr. Albert's mother and brother Peter of Cherry, drove down to Blooinshurg, on Wednesday where they will meet a brother of Mrs. Geo.

Messrs Jonathan and W T illiain Thorne of New York city, were looking afLer their interest at the LaPorte and Thornedale tanneries last week They were driven to Thornedale by Mr. McFarlane. It is pretty evident that the works at Thornedale which have been idle for some time will be putin operation in the spring. There is no place in the State where a good doctor is needed worse than right here in Dushore. If the right man would locate here he could have a good practice in six months time Review. Brother Newell seems dissatis fied with the doctors at Dushore. It may be they don'r. understand his case. Better try a veterinarian.— REPUBLICAN.

Conklin of LaPorte, is can ■ vassing for a book called the "Atlas of the World." He is meeting with pretty good success. > JudgeS. M.Clark one of Penn ; sylvanla's Supreme Court Judges, i died of Bright's disease at his home in Indiana, Indiana county, Pa., on Saturday evening last. Judge Clark was quoted among our very best judges of the Supreme Bench. Al though a democrat in politics he was highly regarded bv his republl ■ can associates both for his legal at tainments and judicial mind and his social qualities, wmch were of the highest. Senator Quay evidently means to prosecute that libel perpetrated up ion him a few days previous to the election. He begun suit against the Pittsburg Post last week for SIOO 000 damages. That little Bardsley certificate was'nt so bad, but it was the way the editors sight ed it in their editorials. It is thought that Tallie Morgan will ; have lots of company in a short 'time. The Republicans have had their day and it took place in Har riaburg. The result was, 58,431 ma* jority for GREGG and MORRISON. On Friday last a frightful accident occurred to a young man in B»-uton twp. Bruce Kline with some rthers was out hunting. He was standing on a fence and leaning on his gun when it slipped of! the rail, and the lock striking something in the fall, the gun was discharged, the whole load entering his left arm above the i elbow, tearing it entirely off and j scattering the fragments over the i young man. We haven't learned anything about his present condi tion.—Bloomsburg Republican. Sullivan county hunters take j notice. j The children of LaPorte are suf i fering more or less from bad colds, which occassionally terminates in serious disease and the result is death. The commencement of these! ailings are attributed to the mud and i slush the children are compelled to walk through while on their way to I and from the school house, hence, it is of much importance that, the town J council act immediately in the erec-j tion of a side walk from both wards! to the new school building AI graded school with no walk leading) to it, is only half completed and we dare say that I<aPorte is the only exception, in this'repect, in the state. This expenditure is a necessity and should not be overlooked by the proper orlicials of our borough. In November 1892 the new Baker ballot law goes into use, hence, at the coming February election the people of Sullivan county should be exceedingly careful in selecting good and competent men as election otlicers. The election board who will have the first ex perience with the new law, will, as a matter-of-course, have more diffi culty in performing their duties than their successors. The most in telligent men who can be got to serve in such position*, would be none to good for the place. In comptent or indiflererit election of ficers have always caused a great deal of trouble in districts, and their | carelessness too frequently results iu expensive election contests. It must be evident to any one who has given the new law any study that such election otlicers would make matters even more disgraceful than they have been able to do hereto fore. Justice Clark's death had scarcely been announced before a swarm ofi candidates for the vacancy caused! sprung up, some good, some indif-j fereiit, and some bad. A place on ! i tho Supreme Bench of the Slate is , | not one to be filled as a mere com- 1 pliment or for personal reasons, i The appointee will hold for a little j more than a year, and it is important; that he shall possess those qualities I | which will make him useful on the; 'bench. This is the first time that 1 Governor Pattison has been called! j upon to perform a duty of the high I I consequence, and his action will prove more or less ol a test. It is ■ to be expected that he will name a Democrat, but there may be a great difieieuce between one Democrat and another even in the political jseuse. Nobody can want the Gov ernor to make any mistake La this ' matter. The new postal card will soon be i ready for distribution, it is said, and i the old familiar card will soon be a thing of the past. J. S- Kirk, proprietor of the Lake , Side Hotel, of EalesMere, is in a i peck of trouble. He came up from ! his winter home near Pennsdaie, j L\coming county, on Saturday last, .to inquire into the matter The . I difficulty is about the title of a lot 'at tne 'Mere purchased of Fague j and Fro n tz by Mr. Kirk in 1887, I but he having failed to pay the taxes due lor 1887 the lot was put up for taxes and cost at the 1888 land sales and was struck ofl to Russel Kama of Lal'orie. The time cf redeeming the property expired June, 1890, hence, Mr. Karns has every reason to believe that he holds a clear title. The property is very valuable, we are told, as a part of the Lake Side building is erected upon it. People who fail to pay their taxes, generally are the losers thereby. The Ke»ter Murdnrers of Luzerne Co, Last week three persons were ar rested for the murder of the Kester brothers near Seybertsville in 1885. The parties have been residing in Hazleton and have kept house of ill fame. On Sunday of last week Henry fliggins and his wife and Joseph Eveland and a woman al leged to be his wife with others, were drinking in one of these dives, when lliggins and his wife quarreled and the woman became furious and j shouted "I could hang you for the Kester murder and I will if you don't ". She never finished! the sentence because Higgins jump-1 ed at her and caught her by the throat chocking her. This news reached the ears of Joseph Hampton, chief of the Coal and Iron Police who immediately arrested the parties. The murder occurred on the even ing ofOctober 15, 1885, and the| case awakened the most profound interest, but until now it has goue unavenged. Numerous people were | arrested and charged with the crime, i but thus far the authorities' best ef | forts toward unearthing the perpe | trators of the deed have been un lavailing. The house is in exactly I the same condition as it was when Jthe two old men were murdered. |The dishes still stand on the table;! I the tin cup still remains on the stove; | the blood on the floor was never washed up and the darkening stains; still exist; a lot of old carpel still | flies in the wind from the fence close by, and with the exception of the rank growth of trees and weed? about the door everything is there to-day the same as when John and William Kester were in life. S gns of a Hard Winter. "This is going to be a very hard winter" said an old resident yester day,"and I'll tell you why I say so. In the first place, look at the hornets' nest. You will find them high up this fall. That's a sure sign of a hard winter. If it was going to be a mild winter you would find them near the ground. Two years and and thrt?e years ago the winter* were mild, ant the hornets' nests were low down. "Then take angle worms for another sign. Dig in the ground i now and you will find them crawl ing two feet or more below the sur face. They know what kind of weather Is coming, and they go down to avoid the frost Two years ago I found them not three inches under the surface and they stayed there all winter. "Fuzz on hogs is another sure sign of a severe winter. Butcher a , hog now and you will find a thick .fuzz at the roots of the bristles. [The fuzz wouldn't be there if next i winter wasn't going to be a tough one. Two and three years ago this | fall there wasn't any fuzz at all on hogs, and you know how open the ! winters were. I"1 predicted a hard winter in 1855 | from these signs and my neighbors ridiculed me, or tried to, but we got j!. just as I said. I had so much faith in the signs that I got a lot of | boys to trap all the quals they could. I wintered over 200 quails, and in tho spring of 1856 there was not a live quail in the neighborhood except the ones I had. I turned them all loose at various points, and in the fall we had some good shoot ing, which we wouldn't have had if ; I hadn't pt>id attention to the signs. I—JS*. DON'T FORGET!
