Lorah of Sonestown, were calling on friends at Dushore, Saturday and Sunday. Prof. M. F. Albert and It. M. Stormont of La Porte, were doing business at Dushore, on Saturday. Our LaPorte banker, Mr. Jordan, wai more than busy handing out cash and drawing up notes, Monday. There are 36 applicants for license at this term of court. More than one third of them come from Pu shore. Judging from the present turn of the vfeather, our people were quite fortunate in gathering their ice crop, last week. P. K. Hill #f Rochester, N. Y., was calling on his brother. Dr. Hill, of this place, Thursday evening of last week. William H. Pierce, clerk at the LaPorte Hotel, was calling on friends at or near Kstella, on Satur day and Sunday.

It is positively asserted in our Tunkhannock exchanges, that M. J. Lull of Bernice, has rented the new ly erected hotel at Ricketts and will take possession of the same, about the Ist of April. Jos. Shaffer of LaPorte twp., is kept pretty busy manufacturing lime to supply the wants of the farm ers in this nnd adjoining vicinities. This fertilizer is said to be much more productive than the Muncy lime. Be it remembered that Assessors will be elected at. the approaching February election for three years, and in boroughs and townships where there are more than one elec tion district an Assistant Assessor must be elected for one year only. We give the Act in full elsewhere. Take in the lecture at Sonestowm Friday night. John P.

The new ballot law will be in force at the next general election. The duties of the Judges and Inspectors of Election, under its provisions, will lie more difficult than hereto fore, therefore it is important that these offices should be filled by competent men. The Canton Sentinel, says ,'Judge Peck held court in Monroe ton last week, for Judge Searle." The Sentinel evidently intended to say Montrose instead of Monroeton. The Towanda papers will most like ly call Derralt's attention to the error sarcastically. The Towanda Republican is au thority that H. L. Ttylor of Buffalo PT. Y , has purchased of George L. Sanderson a controlling interest in the W. &. N. B. R. R., and that he will extend the road to connect with the L. V., nt Thornedalc in the near future.

There will be two Democratic conventions held in New York State this year—a Hill convention wlrch will take place on the 22nd of Feb, and a Cleveland convention latter on, the exact time not having been fixed yet. This Democratic fight in the metropolis state will ruin the chances of either Hill or Cleveland {securing the nomination for Presi dent. Let the good work goon. .l(arriewever,and is quite premature in his statement that it will be elect ed by a full Democratic majority. The latter, we imagine will require the thoughts of more than one individu al For further developments, we, in company with the other "feller" will wait and see. Moral—don't get hot in the colar.

In each of these townships there nre two election districts, viz : Bernice, in Cherry; Lopez, in Colley and Jamison City, in Dfvidson, hence, the qualified voters of Bernice, Lo pez and Jamison City should see to it that assistant assessors are elected lon the IGtli day of February to serve in said districts.- Wm.

On the lGth of last September, Earl fMartin, while attending the Windsor Fair, was struck in the eye by a bullet, which glanced from a target, destroying his eyesight. Derwood Potter; who' owned the fun. had received a license from the 'air Association to run a shooting range on the ground, and Daniel Martin, father of the injured lad, has through Senator O'Connor, brought an action against the Fair Associa tion for SIO,OOO, for the loss of his son's eyesight. The case will come up for trial next month, and a warm litigation is expected.— Ex.

A heartilj concur with the action of the Committee of the State Teach ers' Association which is fully de scribed below in the article entitled 'Wickersham Memorial." I would urge every teacher of Sullivan coun ty to conduct proper memorial exer cises to our lamented leader Dr. J. P. Wickersham on Friday, March 25, 1892 Teachers by observing this day as "Wickersham Day" you can more thoroughly acquaint your selves and your pupils cail become acquainted with the life of Dr. Wickersham. [lis life is fbll of in terest to every teacher and pupil of Sullivan county. He was an un tiring worker for the best interests of education, and, to-day we are en joying the fruits of his administra tion as State Superintendent of Public Instruction of this great commonwealth. M. R. BLACK, Supt; of Sull. Co. Forksville, Pa. Jan. 30, 1892. WickorNliam .Memorial. The State Teachers' Association last summer appointed a committee to decide upon some suitable merori al to the late distinguished educator, Dr. J. P. Wickersham. At a meet ing in Philadelphia on the 11th inst., they decided to establish a Wick ersham Memorial Library of peda gogical works, as a section of the State Library at llarrisburg, pro vided that the Legislature will enact measures for itti permanent pres ervation as a distinct collection. This, we believe, will be the first library of its kind established by any State in the Union. In order to bring this matter prominently before the schools of the State, and increase the general interest in the subject, the com mittee recommend the observance of March 25, 1892, the first anniversary of his d >ath, as Wickersham Day. They have in preparation leaflets containing suitable matter for that purpose, which will be furnished at cost to any teacher wishing to use them, upon addressing the Secre tary of the committee, Miss Eliza beth Lloyd, Newtown Square, Dela ware Co., Pa. The plan has received the follow ing cordial endorsements : COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, IIAKKISBURG, Jan. 14th, 1892. PBOF. M. G BRCMBATJOH and GEN. JOHN A. M. PASSMOKF., Philadelphia, Pa. GENTLEMEN: Your letter, on behalf of the State Teachers' Association, was duly received and contents noted. The action of your committee in its determination to establish a "Wickersham Memorial Library of Pedagogical works" instead of the Monument first contemplated, meets with my cordial approval. In such a Memorial you certainly have selected that which would have met with the cordial endorse ment of him whose memory you seek to honor and perpetuate. Doctor J. P- Wickersham was a work er, fifty years of his life being devoted to the educational interests of our Common wealth. He labored for others and it is but fitting that his works should be con tinued, as tbey will be. should the an ticipations of your committee be realized. Every one in in the State Who is earnestly interested in our Common School System will be prompted to give your committee his active co operation. With kindest regard and best wishes, Very Respectfully, lIOBEItT E. PATTISON. COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION HARIUSBURO, Jan. 20th, 1892.. The Committee of the State Teachers' Association is to be congratulated upon the selection of an eminently appropriate Memorial of IJr, Wickersham. It is a happy thought to establish the first public pedagogical library In Pennsyl vania, in the name of one of the pioneers of the Association, one of the first and the most widely studied of American writers upon Pedagogy whose works may be found in every great pedagogical library. The Committee has skilfully reflected the eminently practical character of him whom we delight to honor, in proposing to place the memorial at the State Capital. Harrisburg is most accessible from all parts of the State, and there it will bo al most invaluable to those who, in a legisla tive or in an executive capacity, shall be sent up by the people to deal with the ever-growing interests of education. P. J, WALLER JR. New advertising in this issue is quite extensive. Peruse them all. An exchange very truthfully says that children are happy because they are never worrying about to morrow. You cau't be young again, but you can be as happy as a child if you will adopt this plan. J. E.
