Newell, of the Review, was doing business at the county sent, Monday. Prof. M. R. I>lack of Forksville, was among the many witnesses at court, this week. This is the last issue of the RE PUBLICAN, in which will appear the county statement. Monday, Washington's birthday and the first day of court, was a perfect spring day. Monday and Tuesday of court, was consumed in hearing license petitions and remonstrances. A number of the Bernice voters, are highly elated over the result of the recent February election. The attendance at court this week is quite large. This is perhaps diie to the fact that it is "license term." Chas. Wall, the Wyoming county wife murderer, will be hung one week from next Tuesday, March Bth. We placed several new subscribers on our list, this week. The news can alway# be found in the REPUBLI CAN. Mr. James S. Gainer of Cherry Mills, paid us a call while in attend ance at court as a winess, ou Mon day. W. B. Jennings, J.

Rogers of Forksville. who has been laying at the point of death for the past teh days with an attack of pneumonia, is recovering slowly. Senator M. S. Quay, is raported dangerously ill, with pneumonia, i>i St. Lu<!e, Floriday. 11 is early re fcovery is hoped for by his many frieuds. Several, in fact a gbod many of our delinquent subscribers called during the early part of the week and renewed their subscription one year in advance. The young people of LaPorte en joyed a party at the residence of Wm Keller, on Main St., Friday evening. All present report an ex cellent good time. Pennsylvania's appropriation this year for school purposes is $5,005),- 000, the largest of any State in the Union. No wonder the State is solidly Republican. The personal property of the late Mrs. Mary Ann Swank of Davidson twp., will be sold at public sale, on Thursday March 3. A quantity of hay and corn will be disposed of. MARRIED —John C.

Mr. Edward Mabcn of Kanoza Lake, N. Y., has recently taken charge of the dry loft of the La- Porte tannery. Mr. M. is said to be an expert in this department of a tanning industry. The following attorneys from a distance are in attendance at this term of court, viz : W. E. Craw ford. Hughes ville ; C. DeWitt. To wanda and A. D. Hower, Muncy. C. A. Uess, the Sonestown tailor delivered several suits of clothes manufactured at his establishment, to his customers in Lal'orte, on Saturday. The work and fit gave entire satisfaction. Wm. H. Painton of Sonestown, who was found guilty of the murder of old Mrs. Strominger, in York county, has been refused a new trial and the day of execution has been designated, Thursday April the 14th. Court proceelings next week. Editor Streby of the Dushore Gazette was transacting business in town Monday and Tuesday. The W. C. T. U, will meet at the home of Miss Fannie Mevlert, Fri day evening, Feb. 26, 1892. All are cordially invited. A number of our LaPorte people are quite talkative. They could get along with aiiout one-eighth less gas aud the change would be bene ficial to both themselves and their friends. Urge the change. Messrs J. W. and E. J. Flynn, Frank Barrager and several other gentlemen came up from Jamison City to give evidence in the case of •Josiah Hembury vs James Mc- Farlane & Co., on Tuesday evening. During ary the L."V. railroad transported for James McFarlane & Co., 85 car loads of bark from in the vicinity of Lopez to Thornedale. This is hust ling the bark business pretty lively. The Honorable Associate Judges of our court—John Yonkin 2nd and M. J. Phillips, were initiated into the duties of their office, on Monday. They were congratulated by their manj- friends and presented a very creditable appearance, on the bench. Ex-Secretary Whitney is number ed among the dark horses for the nomination to the Presidency, sub ject to the Democratic convention. Brice and Gorman say Llill is not in it. The Chicago convention will be a warm affair. Hill is playing hob with democracy. The following party—F. M Crossley and A. A. Kaker of La l'orte and and J. W. Aumiller of the 'Mere, enjoyed a fish for lake trout in Lewis' Lake, Saturday. They captured three, one 26, one 18 and one 17 inches in length. The larger one of tlfe three weighed lbs. The boy editor is too small for us to foci our time with. We would suggest that he devote his paper to the coming and going of guests of his town. He can strike an attitude in ihis department of editorship. Newell, it is our request that you follow this Strictly, in the future. We dre told that the many friends of County Commissioners, D. W. Scrnlin and S. K. Mcßride, are dis pleased with the article recently published in the Dushore lieview, condemning the board of commis sioners as being extravagant in con ducting their ofllcial duties and have layed that paper on the shelf. The leasing of the L. V.and Jersey Central roads by the Read ing company is the largest, trans action of the kind ever consummat ed. It is said the deal has already resulted in advancing the securities of the roads concerned §45,000,000. President, McLeod, who engineered the colossal transaction may justly be termed the railroad king of the world. Judge Archbald of Scranton, is a candidate for Justice of the Su preme Court, subject to the decision of the Republican State Convention. Mr. Archbald is numbered among our most learned men of the law and the several counties in which the anthracite coal industry abound claim they should have a representa tive in the Supreme Court. Lehigh Valley agents and em ployes have been officially notified that the road has been turned over to the Reading R. R. company. It is not expected that changes will be made at present if at all. It would be difficult for the new management to improve on the force at this sta tion, and we presume they will not attempt to do so. Certainly they will not if the wishes of their patrons here are consulted.—Athens iVe?r«. William Davis of Lopez, while sitting in the court room, on Wednesday &t about 4 p. m., was taken with a fit. The sensation caused considerable stir in the court room and the sympathy for the un fortunate man was extended by all. lie was looked after by his brothers, Messrs Arthur and John Davis. The sick man was immediately re moved from the inclosed room to the outside steps, where he soon re coverd and was taken to' Hotel Kennedy. KaglesMertt Railroad. The breaking of ground on Mon day for the Eagles Mere railroad, at Sonesiown, was done by Mrs. Magargle, who threw out three shovelsfull of earth. Mr. Wood, the contractor for the building of the road was "present, also Super intendent Welch, ot the Williams port and North Branch Railroad, together with many others from Hughesville. An excellent repast was partaken of at the hotel, and, all in all, Washington's birthday anni versary was befittingly celebrated at Sonestown. Our correspondent gives the doings of the day, in full, elsewhere, in this issue. Notice.

A. M. SFANOLER, President. W. S. HEROESHEIMER, Sec'y. Geo. Palmer of Wyoming county, who was arrested for stealing a watch of a man by the name of .Mov er, ot Lopez sotne three or four weeks ago and placed in tlue county jail, was given his freedom by the Grand Jury who did not find a "true bill," on Wednesday. Palmer at the time of the arrest was brought before Magistrate, B. W. Jennings of Lopez, who refused under the evidence to bind the prisoner over. Moyer, however, was not satisfied with this decision and proceeded to Dusho re where he obtained a 2d warrant of A. Duglass, J. P., who committed Palmer to jail. By the verdict of the jury, on Wednesday, Mr. Jennings rulings was sustained and the error of Mr. Duglass has imposed on the county the cost of the entire proceedings. —— ■»-» The Jliuif)' flunk. Examiner Dengler, who had been in charge of the First National Bank of Muncy since January 11, Monday turned the institution over to Receiver Collins and took his de parture for Pottsville. In a short time he will leave for Virginia, to examine a bauk there. During his slaj- in Miiucy Mr. Dengler made many friends, and all were impressed by his gentlemanly qualities as well as business ability. The transfer of the institution in eluded $14,000 in cash, and securi ties representing seventy per cent, of the deposits. It is expected that all the accounts with depositors will be settled within four months. It is said that there is considerable paper that will prove worthless. Comptroller Lacey has notified the Receiver that he will send an ex pert book keeper, who will make a thoiough and searching examination of the books ; the Comptroller is al so credited with the statement that there shall be no whitewashing in the case, but that the light shall be turned on eve 1-3' transaction.
