Since tho cyclone, the people of Eagles Mere arise iu the dead of night at the report of a clap of thunder and look down the valley tor a repetition of the whirlwind of June 2". Tho people over there dou't rest easy. The buildings that were b'own' down by the cyclone, on June 27 at j tho 'Mere, are being rebuilt at a j lively rate. At least one hundred j men are engaged at the work and in a short time the appeareuce of the 'Mere will lie of yore. Owing to our large army of new j subscribers, we are obliged to "cut" a number of our exchanges, tld- j week.

On Mon day morning while transporting bay from the mow of his barn to the first floor, the steps gave away with him and he fell to the floor landing in his two colt stall, with a crash that scared the animal so ba 11 , that it tumbled to the floor about even up with its master. Frank fell on the hay in his arms thereby es caping injuries except a few scratches on his left hand. The colt is doing as well as could be ex pected. It is thought that the boast mistook the hay for a curry-comb. The Fourth of July was very qui etly and enjoyably spent by LaPorte citizens. At the break of day the small boy arose from his peaceful slumber and went forth shooting the cracker, a loud explosion being re ceived with a hurrah by the group of little fellows. The band played a few choice selections iu the park at 10 a. m.and at 4. p. 111. In the evening a dance was enjoyed in the school house hall under the auspices of tho Lal'orto band and was largely attended. Tho Eagles Mere narrow gauge railroad was completed, on the night of July Ist, at. 11:58. On the arrival of the engine a large number of guests and residents gave three cheers which echoed and re-echoed through the forest for miles around. The officials of the rail road were pleased with the result and well they may be. They completed the road in less than three months which beats the rceoid in railroad circles, in this vicinity. The Eagles More correspondent to the Muncy Luminary in giving an account of the cyclone says, the buildings that were demolished were frail structures mention ing tho Vanbuakirk, the Baptist church and tho Burkholdcr build ings. The peo;>le interested in these structures will most likely denounce this CUT respondent A very poor judge ol a well constructed building. Politics in Forksville is quite warm. There are a number of tliinU iny; anil expressing politicians down there. Among the list is: (Jus. Smith, Frank Harmon, l)r. Chalice, Hon. \V. C. Rogers, Jake Suydev, Prof. SI. R. Dlack, l'\ Schauanacker ami a host of others ' that we can't rust recall. Those fellows and their associates keep politics a boiling in the valley. We were told many times last week by old and new subscribers— that the "Rr.iTni.iiAN is the best paper published in tlie county. ' Tlti coming from good and competent Judges, wo are commencing to be lieve it. Our lift> new subscribers last week corroborates ami ojiiliruis their statement. It is Stated that the heighth of a human body, is generdl.v ten tin.es the of the face : tho lave is as long as the hand; the arm is four times the length of the face ; the sole is one-fixth of the length of the body, ami *i\ times the thiekuess o f the hand e«pials the thickness of the body.

Patrick McGovern, of Forksville, was calling on old friends at the county sent on Friday. Mr. McGov ern is a retired gentleman, having resided in the little village in the valley lor man}' years. lie is an aged bachelor and makes Folksvilie his home because he admires the beauties of tho town and the gener ous and good natural people. The old gentleman enjoys a joke very much and the fellow who comes out best with him is entitled to the hon or of " Captain." The Prohibition National Con vention which convened at Cincin nati on June 30th made the follow ing nominations, viz: For Presi dent—lion. John Bidwell, a Califor nia pioneer and a wealthy land-lord of the gold dust state. For Vice President—Dr. Craniill of Texas. The convention inserted a tree trade plank in their platform and this is what tlioy endorsed on the money question: "We favor tho free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold." The free trade plank and the" position they have taken on the sil ver question, will have a tendency to drive former Republicans back to their old quarters. Former Demo crats can accept of the dose and their arguments of years gone by can bo resumed, while ou tho othor hand Republicans will bn obliged to learn of tliei former enemy their little pieco. What right good former Republican can swal low the prescription, anyhow ? Tho REPUBLICAN is the leading paper of tiie county and the people realize the fact.
