Mr. Eugene Tripp of Jamison City, drove up to LaPorte, on Wednesday and returned, on Thurs day, accompanied by his sister-in law Miss Emma Spencer. Boss Harrity is now recognized as a member of the Democratic State Committee. He fills the vacancy in said organization caused by the death of W. L. Scott.

Constables are required to post ten notices in each election district, at least ten days before the Febru ary election, and in every such ad vertisement they are to enumerate the officers to be elected as well as to designate the time and place of holding the election.

Fridaj' morning minus a bonnet and a muff, which were lost out of the sleigh, on their return home. It is rumored that the following new applicants will apply for license at this February term of court, viz : Sjdvester Steafather, Dushore stand known as the depot house; James Keefe at Cherry Mills ; John P. ' McGee, on Cherry Flats, near L. V. switch ; Henry Tripp, Shunk ; John Daly, Bernice and Joseph Carpenter, Bom Town, near Kile's. That young gent who volunteered to eO to the residence and escort a young lady to the birthday party on Friday evening last, would have crawled through the key hole, on his return, had the hole been vacated of the key. As it was the door had to be pushed ajar and of course was noticed by the 3'oung folks, who were anxious to know why the young lady did not accompany him. This boy followed the example of the other boy who had nothing to say. ' r - , , Down in Benton Columbia county the teachers of their schools to gether with the young people of the town, are giving entertainments for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of a new hoard W:Uk leading to their school buildinfr. We would suggest a similar move by the j T oung people of LaPorte, inasmuch as it would appear that this is the only way the much needed necessity can be realized. The town council have sadly ignored the wants of the peo ple in this instance. Secretary Blaine and the Presi dent are in perfect accord, as they have been from the firstj notwith standing the sensational statements to the contrary. Mr. Blaine's re cent attack of nausea at a Cabinet meeting which necessitated his leav ing before the meeting closed, and which prevented his attending the President's first State dinner of the season to his Cabinet that night, was made the basis of lots of stories even more senseless than those usu ally told by the men who are trying hard to stir up strife between these two friends, and they were all ex ploded by the fact that Mr. Blaine entertained the President and sever al members of the Cabinet at dinner the very next night. " BIRTIIDAY SURPRISE PARTY. —The young people of LaPortfe assembled at the residence of Mrs. Sinclair, on the corner of Muncy and Meylert streets in honor of Miss Mattie Sinclair's twentieth birthday, en Friday evening January 22nd Among those present, were: Miss Annie E.

M. when refreshments were served and at 12 M. the participants returned to their homes well pleased with the evening's enjoyment. Miss Mattie, was the recipient of many costly and valuable presents. A CRAK'S MANIA. '•He That NtantleOi on Slippery PUeeo Should be Shod W itli Npikei." There is a man in this city who is a crunk on one subject, he has a mania for repeating old saws, say ings that our grandfathers called stale. On Monday evening this man came out of the post-office and stood under the awning in front ot Batman's store. Near the iron posts that support the awning was a very slippery spot. A dude dressed very loudly came up Third Street steped on the spot mentioned and described a semi-circle which caused his head to strike the pavement. The crank made this remark, "Pride goeth before a fall." The dude arose and with a look of hatred at the speaker continued his interrupt ed walk. A business man hurrying to the postoffice to get his mail, suf fered in the same manner as the dude, When he arose the crank again opened his mouth and these words issued therefrom. "The more haste the less Speed." Very appro priate wasn't it ? The next victim to approach the fated spot was ft man who was three sheets in the wind. He pulled a bottle from his pocket and was abont to take a swig when he also fell. "There's many a slip twixt the Clip and the lip" greeted the toper. The crank's curiosity overcame him and he walked toward the slippery place to see it. lie saw it and what was more he saw stars. As he arose and vanished in the darkness the follow ing words floated out upon the damp and misty air, "How are the mighty fallen."— Ex. The people of LaPorte will elect the following ticket at this February election, viz: One burgess; three councilmen ; two school directors; two overseers of the poor ; one con stable ; one assessor ; one collector ; one judge of election ; t.wo inspect ors : two auditors and town clerk. We have plenty of competent mater ial to fill these offices and the peo ple should see to it that they are placed upon the ticket. He Brought Too Many. In Bald Eagle township & certain man brought in so many wild oat skins to 'Squire Ro.*ser, says the Lock Haven Democrat, that the lat ter finally began to think that the woods were full of them. The 'Squire would clip the ears ofj and pigeon-hole them, return the hide to the fellow, and in a couple of days back lie would come with another cat. Soon the 'Squire began to "smell a mice," as it were, and one day when the chappy came in with a cat skin lie »iiaile a closer examina tion and found that it was the same old skin and that the cute individual had been manufacturing ears out of other pieces of skin and sewing them on, and that he (the 'Squire) had been clipping off the made ears and pigeon holing them. One day last week when the fellow found that his trick had been discovered, he made a grab for the contents of the pigeon hole, and after a scuffle with the 'Squire, succeeded in getting off with them, thus hoping to destroy the evidence of his rascality. But the 'Squire can swear to the circum stances, and it maj r go hard with the smart car manufacturer yet. Ice For Dipllieria. Dr. Mayer's announcement thrit he bases his treatment of diptherin upon the energetic use of ice, which is perseveringly applied, both Ex ternally and internally. Icebags are to be kept on the neck, care being taken that the swollen glands are directly in contact with the ice, which is to be constantly renewed, and simultaneously the patients drink ice water by means of a bent glass tube, and pieces of ice are kept in the mouth—wine or syrup, or any flavoring agent, may be added to the water if desired. Chlorate of potash is also given internally in small doses ; and the author believes that the use of baths and antipjretics is useless, but the adoption of ft strengthening diet, including wine, is a matter of course. It is added that experience with this method exclusively during a period of six teen years has convinced Dr. Slayer of its value—none of his patients having died, and seldom was the lar ynx involved. Keep this cure in mind, perhaps it may some time prove very valuable to yourself or family. DIED. Mrs. John Connolly, of New York, on Thursday Evening January 21st at 9 p. m. The announcement of the sad and dangerous illness of Mrs. Connolly in our last week's edition proved only too true. We had scarcely finished mailing the REPUBLICAN bo fore word was received by her brother Thomas that his sister Nellie slept in death.

M., Mis 3 Nellie as she was familiar known here, spent her childhood days at LaPorte and was surround ed by hosts bf friends, and the sor rowful btow of her sudden death cast a melancholy influence over this entire community.

Under the new law each district elects but one as sesor, who does all the registering and assessing, and in the third year of his term makes the triennial as sessment—hence the importance of judgment in the selection, that competent men may be selected. The new election law of the state goes into effect March 1, 1892. Under the new law the judges and inspectors elected next month will be required to hold the election next November. Election boards, there fore, should be chosen with a view to thorough competency rind re sponsibility. TRIENNIAL APPEAL.
