The Democratic County Conven tion, will convene in the Court House, at LaPorte, on Tuesday the 9th day of August. The gentle and plea ling candidate ! will soon be heard in your neighbor hood. If you maKe a promise, be as good as your word. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Keeler of La- Porte, were present at the dedica tion of the new Hughesville baptist church, on Sunday. Street Commissioner, James P. Walsh, has bejjun the good work of repairing streets in the city limit. Jim makes a good supervisor. Mrs. E. V. Ingham of the 'Mere, is reported very much improved in health and her entire recovery is en tertained by her many friends. Several parties of Philadelphia, were guests of Hotel Eagles Merc, the early part of this week. They came up ou a fishing expedition. It may be that hanging never improved a murderer, but is there any reason for supposing that let ting him escape improves the gener al public? One of the difficulties which face a man when he thinks about going to heaven is how lie will be able to steer his way through thenelworK of over head telegraph wires. Dr. Hill captured a ptetly good sized brook trout out of Like Mo koma, Monday afternoon. It meas ured 14£ inches. This beats the record for size, so far. Owing to illness of U. S. District Attorney E. P. Ingham, his brother F. H. Ingham of this place, was called to assist him in his office, the latter part of last week. Grant Herring Esq. is one of the delegates at large to the democratic convention at Chicago, and Wm. Kriekbaum has been elected a dele gate from Columbia county. A.. Walsh ami F. M. Crossley Loth of LaPorte, were attending to especial business at Dusborc Satur day night. The plitical pot is be coming hotter, as the weeks go by. It is paid that President Harrison has issued invitations fur other gov ernments to join with the United States iu a conference on the silver question. The idea is an cxccllant one. Hon Hussel Karns ought to feel highly elated over the kind treatment lie is receiving at the hands of the QjztUt, So far as compliments are concerned, the other democratic aspirants for office, are not in it. It wo ihl appear that Streby ( ,f the Dusliore Gazette, is a trifle par tial with liis free and compliim ntiarv notices to the democratic a»plratit* foi office. The lion. ltu-«el Karns is tii» only candid tie thus 112 ir, who v<*d notices of ibi- kind, at Ht re by evidently means to wait ou Hie other feller* aud get •u the big side. Unless rain comes soon, the grass crop will be very short this summer. Frank Hannon of Forksville ac companied by Henry Bedford Esq , of Mill view, were doing business at the county seat, Wednesday.

A Belfast newspaper says that "the first snake known in Irish his tory was found recently in Nora's Glen, near Belfast."

Charley bas many old acquaintances at this place, who are always glad to see him. Wayne W. Warren of Lake Run, will solicit for the REPUBLICAN in Western Sullivan, during the months of May and June. Cash paid on subscription and receipted bj' Wayne, will be acknowledged by us. Will it be the lone lot fisherman ? or will it, be the public for 25c per hour ? In short—will the Lake be introduced to the public or will it remain in tomb? This is the ques tion that is absorbing the minds of many of our people. IS. F. Colt, Jr., of Checktowaga, X. Y., accompanied by his brother William Colt of Lopez, passed through town en-route for the 'Mere, on Monday. They drove over to visit their sister, Mrs. E. V. Ingham.

During his absence his student, A. J. Bradley will look after the business of the office. "Barney," a valuable horse owned by F. M. Crossley of this place, was attacked with a paralytic stroke, some two or three weeks since. The animal, other than numbness of its left side, is well and hearty and in attempting to play in the pasture field, falls over like a two year old c'.iild. The Republican State Convention which convened in Harrisliurg, on Wednesday of last week, passed oil very harmoniously uud the ticket nominated gave satisfaction. Space will not permit us to give the proceedings m lull. We give the ticket at the head of our editorial column. The Lit Porte Ri\incut due from , * r l.uriih e.tu Ih- expected it bo ut the V.I I tif August J Stc,' Murder of Mark* L.ATE A NX) AUTHENTIC. Guy C. Hollon, Detective of Brad ford county, in whose special charge the murder case has been put, writes District Attorney Grimm of this county, dated April 25th, as lollows: "I have done much work both be fore and since the Inquest, and Lave gathered enough evidence in the case to hang twenty men. Have got Marks' overcoat, (the coat was not on body when found) covered with blood, his borse and sleigh and other property found in his murder ers possession. Have found where and how they shipped (Marks' goods, but they have a month's start, and may now he in Russia. The murderers went to Js'ew York city, on the 21st of March. We have men working on the case there; have worked night and day and have traveled many hundred miles. We know our men. I have hopes that you may yet have the chance to con vict the perpetrators of this most dastardly murder, and that I may yet see them stretch some good old hemp imported for that purpose. The search for the fugitives by my se'f and a competent force under me, is being pushed with dilligence and if they are this side of the At lantic they are ours." Conductor Knipe of the W. & N. 8., is enjoying a vacation of a couple of weeks; during which time he will visit friends in Philadelphia. His place on the train is filled by James Dinning, baggage master. Jim makes a first rate conductor and his pleasant manner of doing busi ness will no doubt win for hint many friends during his short stay in the important position which he now holds. We have heard it men tioned that Jim stands a pretty good chance of being promoted from baggage master to conductor on the Eagles Mere Narrow guage road. The selection would be good. The Krickbaum—Herring faction al fight was transferred to ilarris burg last week. Each was trying to defeat the other, and as b*>th suc ceeded, we presume the hatchet will now be buried. It is hinted that the pipe of peace has already been smoked. How true this is we are unable to tell, but we are disposed to question it. If the principals have made up, it leaves their fol lowers in a sorry plight. They can stand without the gate and look on with anxious gaze while a new deal is being made.—Bloomsburg Jit publican. Dr. Hill of Lal'orte, who recently purchased a lot ol the Lake Mokoma Land Company, is very much out of sorts, that the Land Co., are agi tating an ordinance to permit fishing in the l ike at a stated price per hour. He thinks that those de siring this privitige ought to invest in a lot the same as he did. Should ! an ordinance come to pass to this j effect, it will cause several "lot j holders" to say cuss words. Not withstanding, however, the heavy stock holders of the concerne will do what they think best for the ml - vauceinent of their property. Our Du*hore contemporaries have refused to make mention of the fact that the 11 kith ham is to be en larged on May tiih, and the sub scription price reduced to one dol lar a year. It would appear that our Brother editors over there, are not pleased with the change. Should they make any advancements in the future, the REI'I III.ICAN will be pleas ed to lend them a helping hand. ■'lie Short 1.1 lie to %\ ilUe*-Hurre. —— The Lehigh Valley extension in Sitlliviitt county, was connected with llarvey'* Lake branch on Tues day of last Week.

Colored Vagrant i " on the ItlucU in i**oiiri - l!ac© Trouble* 'i'lirealeuetl FAYETTE, Mo., April 24. —This town is again on the verge of a race war because of a sale of vagrant negroes which took place here yester day. About a month ago a good deal of excitement was caused by the sale of throe vagrant negroes. Yesterday the feeling wag intensified by a public sale on a block of three men and one woman, because they offer no visible mode of support. Hy Thompson, William Muller and and John Wilkins were the men. All are hearty negroes who were never before arrested on any charge. The woman was a good-looking mulatto, Mary Whiteside. She was accused of vagrancy. The colored people were brought into the public square at 11 o'clock and a great crowd of both colors gathered. The whites made fun of the poor victims, and the blacks freely expressed their displeasure at the scene which brought to their minds the days of actual slavery. The woman was put up first. She brought &10 for the sixty days work that the county fined her. The men sold for $lO, *l2 aud 813 respectively, being taken by reliable farmers hereabouts, The woman will work in a good family in town. The negroes de clared that this must stop or that the whites must be sold with the negroes. The sale took place on a block, Sheriff Crieger officiating. <>oo«l Komi*. Everybody is interested in good roads or should be, and it seems as if a great opportunity to arouse the public to the importance of an im provement in the highways will be lost, if at, the World's Fair there be no comprehensive road exhibit. The present condition of country roads is amazing when we consider the progress of civilization in other di rections. Sullivan county, and for that matter every other county in the union, is still in the pioneer period with roads. Uncle Sam helps to make rivers aud lakes navigable, he helps to beep back the waters of the Mississippi from inun dating the lands along its shores, he liinlds great structures for cities and does lots of other things for the public good, why would it not be a good plan to ask him to help to make better roads. We believe a comprehensive road exhibit at the great Exposition at Chicago would be the most powerful factor that could be used to bring about nation al and state legislation for the con structiou and maintenance of good roads. liny I'umine in .HIIIIUMM Countj. A hay famine prevails in many parts of Sullivan county. Some of the farmers have turned their stock out to gnaw the bare ground. Hay is becoming scarce and is in great demand at sl4 and J? 1G per ton at the barn. Some of the dairies will be in poor condition for making a butter record this season. Cattle in many places look like ''the last run • of shad." Cows cannot be wintered on half a ton of hay per head in this climate neither cau a crop be pro duced without labor and fertilizers. A few cows well kept are worth 1 more than a large flock in a starving condition. This is not ouly un profitable farming but is cruelty to animal*.
