The Scranton Republican sug gests that it would not be a bad idea for the tlommis-ionefs of the several counties to have a booth and ballot box made to be placed in some convenient place in the Oourt houses where everybody could examine them. They might also have forms, printed of the ballot as provided' for, to gether with concise instructions-- as to the manner of voting under "the i new system. By doing this at least ' some of the people in every locality, and more especially the memberil of election boards, could become practi cal! \ familiar with the operations'of the new law. The cost of a booth and hallot box, and the printing of a limited number of ballots with ' a concise synopsis of the law, would be trifling as compared with the value of the information afforded. V , A is being circulated by post master, M. F. Albert, of La ' Port*, asking for an increase of i sei vice of the Postal Clerk, on the ! W &N. B. railroad. It requests 'the Clerk to make two trips instead of one as he is now' doing. This will afford the people in this section the convenience of addressing any town along the line of railroad including' Wil!iamspnrt in the morning and receiving an answer in the evening, innil. Should the Post MasteT Gen eral grant the request, it will be greatly appreciated by the public■ all along iht> line. B. G. Welch,! general mnnager of the W. & N. B.' land E. P. Ingham were the prime movers in issuing the petition. Binh Day S .rprise Pan/, Saturday Dec. 12, was Benjamin F. Crossley's 20th birth day and in honor of the event the young people of LaPorte congregated at Mr. Crossley's residence to pay their re spects to the highly esteemed youngj man. Ben had endeavored to keep the incident a secret, but like all in tended secrets it became known and a committee was appointed to do the inviting. Ben, early in the evening was quietly decoyed to a, neighbor's residence, by the fair sex,| (and you can readily come to .the 1 conclusion that it required but little persuasion), on a pretense that Miss Ettinger, teacher of the primary de partment of our school, would as sist him in his geometry lesson. He was kept thus engaged until the j company had assembled and was !more thai: surprised on his arrival' home. The band gave him a-' sere nade of its best selection after which all joined in for a good ! time. Numerous games were participated in and at 11 p. in. refreshments were served and much enjoyed by the at tendance. Mrs. Crossley, mother of the honored, was active in giving the young people a good time t»nd more than succeeded. Ben was the recipient ol numerous handsome 1 preaebts.
