' Entertainment. An entertainment by tho young ladles of LaPorte, consisting of"The Milk Maids' Drill" and the "Inter state Milk Maids' Convention" will be given in the School House lln.ll, at LaPorte, Friday evening May 6th, for the benefit of the Y. W. 0, T. U. Admission 25 cents, children 15 cents. The W. C. T. A., society of La- Porte, will edit a column of the RE PUBLICAN, each week, in the interest of temperance. We are quite sure that the sayings in this column will interest a majority of the women of the county and that our circulation will increase thereby. Ileal estate in LaPorte has cer tainly taken a boom. The property owned by Susan \V. Garrigues of Woodbury, N. J., and known as "Mokoma Heights" was list weok conveyed by deed to Mr. Walter A. Shreve of Philadelphia. Considera tion—twelve thousand dollars. The agricultural implement busi ness is lively at Forksvillc. Mr. Frank Hannon has purchased the business formerly run by Mr. Schanbacher and is busy taking orders. Supt. M. It. Black and W. K. Miller have also formed a partner ship for carrying on tho same busi ness an I are enjoying a good trade. A fair idea of the vast amount of labor required to conduct the United States postal service may be gained from the fact that in it are used every year, 25,000 pounds of wrapping twine, half a million lead pencils, 1,- 500 barrels of ink, 7,200 quarts of mucilagA 10,000 pounds of rubber bands 12,000 gross of pens and vari ous other items in similar quantities Fresh baker's bread constantly on hand at tho store of Mrs. M. C. l.nuer, prepared by C. W. Champion, the Du*hore baker. Tammanv has engaged bands con taining fifty peices to play for tlicm at Chicago. That number of peices' if all brass would not bo enough to drown the tiger. It is a mistake for Tammany to make a big show at Chi cago. The party's vote would be larg er if the people did not seo and hear so much ol that notorious and pow erful gang. While not caring to "toot our own horn," however, with unnecessary vehemence, we can truthfully say that the REPUBLICAN, with this issue is the neatest, best and gives the most news of any paper published in tho county, hence, is well worth the price of subscription—sl.oo, which is 50 cents cheaper than either of our contemporaries. Tho Wyoming Jhtnocrat, says that it is about settled that the Marks murder was committed in : Wyoming county. The tax payers of Sullivan county would be more j than satigiled if it could be proven beyond a doubt that tho crime was committed in the borders of Wy omiug. The people of Sullivan are not anxious to pay the cost that will , follow the litigation. W. 11. Vanbuskirk and J. W. Anmill-1 er, both of the 'More and members of the Lal'orto I. t>. O.

R. 300 Italian* Now at Work. The Road to be In Running Or* der by July Ist. Work on the Eagles Mere railroad has begun in earnest. Last week Tuesday about one hundred and fifty Italians arrived from Philadelphia and New York and are now at work at tho grading about one mile from Eagles Mere. Fifty more are at work near the Sonestown terminus, whore ono mile of road is already graded. The contractor expeots to have the road in running order by- July Ist and will undoubtedly be able to do so. 'I lie road follows the outlet of the lake nearly all the way. The grade is necessarily very great as tho difference in elevation be tween Sonestown and Eagles Mere is about one thousand feet and the distance, by rail, about eight miles. The engines, passenger cars, and freight cars are already on hand and a construction train will be made up at Sonestown as soon as the tics and rails can be put down. The road is an easy one to build as there are no very heavy cuts or fills. The station at Eagles Mere will be near tho point where the LaPorto road crosses the outlet. Eagles Mere will receive great benefit from this road. It will re sult in bringing more visitors thure, and will aid very materially in lengthening the season. Excursions can now be worked up for Juno and September when the hotels arc not full. Eagles Mere is bound to boom. It is now positively asserted that the two Russian peddlers who mur dered young Marks, on the 18th of March, have crossed the ocean en route for South America. It was rumored here on Monday that the steamer on which the villains sailed reached port, on Friday of last week and that the scoundrels had been caught, this, however, cuinot be re lied upon. Detoctive Hollan of To wanda, who has chargo of the case, considers it very doubtful if the murderers are ever caught. On leaving this section of the country, about the 21 »t day of March—tl c outlaws abandoned the two rigs in their possession, near the residence of F. J. Miller, Ransom, Luzerne county. Hero the men shipped tl.e goods to new Yolk, using assumed names, Bending them in care of Louis Roscnfield, who is a relative of the murderers. Otlicers in N. Y , have arrested this man Rosentield, who confessed that tho men had gone to South America. Wo un .derstand that parties of Towanda> have increased tho reward to one : thousand dollars. If this be true the ease will receive more attention by the proper otlicers and perhaps they ' will be captured. G. E. Douahoe of Dttshoro, ngcnt for the Newark Valley, X.

MR. EDITOR: —Of the many early settlers in this section of Sullivan county, none has lived to reach such a ripe old age as that reached by Mr. John Glidewell. Born In Point township, Northumberland countj', in the year 1800, and re moving from that place to this, with his parents, when only twenty years of age, and having remained in this neighborhood ever siuce, he has, therefore, spent seventy-two years of his life in this township. When Mr. Glidewell arrived in this coun ty there were not many clearings along Muncy Creek. A few miles below Sonestown, at a point sub sequently known as Taylor's Mill, there was a small clearing, and there was also a small cabin standing near the spot now occupied by the mill of Mr. John Hazzen. The father of Mr. Glidewell settled on land now occupied by Mr. Samuel Christ, and began, at once, to clear the land preparatory to making a home tor himself and family. About 1822 or 1823, he erected a very comfortable house, to raise which, ho was obliged togo as far as the Loyal Sock Creek for assistance. After the erection of said dwelling, Mr. John Glide well together with his father and brothers continued to improve their land, and on this he continued to reside until the year 1850, when he movod to the place now occupied. When he first came to this county ho says, game was abundant and it was with little difficulty, that one coull procure an ample supply ol venison. Bears and wolves were often seeu by the the settlers, and on one of his hunting trips, Mr. Glide well had the good fortune of killing two wolves at one shot. On another occasion lie and his brother saw seven wolves in the swamp near the residence of Mr. Ilenry Kohensparg er who resides about one mile from LaPorte. During the seventy-two years spent by him around here, hr has witnessed many improvements made by the sturdy sons of toi'. lie has seen the unbroken forest converted into productive farm, on which are erected comfortable resi dences and other commodious build ings, lie has witnessed the steady growth of this village, up to the present time, and now sees tlio wants of the people well provided for, by having in this village two neat Houses of Worship, a graded school, two largo hotels, two stores, a post office, blacksmith shop and the many comfortable homes of a thrifty people. The W. it N. 15. R. U., gives to the public belter facilities for travel ing than those possessed by the pioneers of this section, and the Eagles Mere R. R., will, when com pleted, greatly add to facilities now possessed. Instead ot traveling by means of wagons drawn by horses or oxen, as the people hero abouts were compelled to do a few years ago, they can now eutor the palatial passenger cars of the llrst of the above mentioned roads, and be carried towards their destination* at a speed ol' thirty or lorty miles per hour. The present prosperous condition of this community has, to a great extent, been brought about by the press, and most particularly by your newsy and valuable paper The Uei'l iiMt .vx, To the people hereabouts it has always been a web ! com* visitor, and their best wishes [go with you in your eiForts to im prove it. With an earnest desire to i see your paper placed in every home iu this county, and trusting that He, jwhodoeth all things well, may per- I uiit Mr. Ulidewel! and his estimable wile to enjoy many more years of , uninterrupted bliss.
