They are old residents of the county and their election would be a vindica tion that old settlers have the pref erence, and why should'nt they have? People who came here and lined their farms out of the dense forest, as far back as 18C0, should receive the support of tho Sullivan county voter in preference to squatters and men who don't pay tax 011 a foot of ground in our midst. If there is a resident of our county who can con scientiously dispute this statement we would be pleased to hear from him. Iluckell was a weaker candidate 011 the day he was nominated than he will be any day in the campaign. He will be strongest on election day. Mark our prediction, he will be n growing candidate. Every day the people take to think it over, they will find additional reasons why lie should be elected and fewer reasons why ho should not be supported. On the other hand Mr. Lull was stronger 011 Convention Day than lie will lie on election day. His effort will be to hold his vote, it will melt from under him, for it is honey! combed with supporters who really dislike to vote for corporations or! for a person who only came into this county to hold office. On the other hand Iluckell will keep 011 making friends. Those who have only heard his enemies speak snecringly at him j will meet iiiin and see that he is an : able and intelligent man. Demo cratic farmers will realize that their I interests are safer in his hands than j in those ol the candidate of corpora tions, and the Huckell ball will keep j rolling and gathering strength and j power every day. The guests of Fairview Cottage gave a party to the young people of | La Porte, on Tuesday evening. The affair was titled a "Donkey j Party," and we understand that our foreman John Boyd, received the first prize—a very pretty autograph j album, presented by Miss B. C. VanßusKerck, of New York city, j Dancing and games were participated ! in and a very pleasant evening en joy ed. A recitation was rendered by Mr Bivins who looks after the: transit of the W. A N. !!. engineer corps. Refreshments woie served at 11 P. St. According to announcement the Dutch Mountain murderers, now iu prison at Montreal, Canada, will be handed over to the United States j authorities on the 29th inst., when they will l»c brought to Tunkhan- j nock and lodged in jail. The Dushore road in La Porte. twp., lias recently been repaired and . now presents a very creditable np ptaraucc.

At a meeting of the W. ( fe X. B. railroad officials held at Williamsport on Wednesday evening Aug. 17, the contract of grading the extension of the road from Nordmont to Dohnrs Summit was let to E. J. Gaynor of Potts villo and Fred E. Gleim of Williamsport. Mr. Gaynor is an ex tensive railroad contractor and with 'dr. Gleim arrived at LaPorte on Monday, where they will make theii headquarters. Mr. Gaynor has about finished a contract with the Xorfolk and Western R. R. arid he will move a good part of his plant to Nordmont about the 10th of Sept. We understand that it requires twen ty-five cars to transport his ma chinery, such as steam shovels, drills X'c. The road is to be first class in every respect. There will be steel bridges, arch culverts, stone ballast ing and steel rails that are seventy pounds to the yard. In connection with the Harvey's Lake branch of the Lehigh Valley this will make a through line to Wilkes-Bar re, and also to To wand a. It will also be the shortest route from Williams port to Towanda, Waverly, Sayre, Binghamton, Albany and other places in Pennsylvania and York State. The probabilities are that the Lehigh Valley trairs will enter Williamsport over the Reading road fiom Hall's. This is railroad news that ought to please every resident of this county, and there isn't much doubt but that it will. IU» Sure Yon Are AmrNWil. Every legal voter in Pennsylvania should charge himself with tke dis charge of two duties between now and September Bth next. He should see that his own name is on the As sessors' list and that any other names improperly there arc erased. There is a copy of the assessment hanging outside each polling place in the State. The Assessors will sit at the polling places September 7th and Bth to make the final corrections to the assessment list. Each voter should examine the list exposed in his own precinct at once to ascertain whether his own name is there, as well as to ascertain whether any voters have been improperly assess ed from his own house or the houses of his neighbors with whom h« is acquainted. The beauties of LaPorte in mid summer are unsurpassed which is evinced by the large number of guests from abroad during the heat ed season. This, however, is only one accomplishment. It is now time we advanced another step. Our j town so far as business industries, such as factories are concerned, is j away behind the times. With the! railroad which seems to be si settled | fact, we "ill have excellent facilities j for business enterprises and m-inu- | factoring industries, that only need I to tie improved and developed t<> | insure the future welfare and pros- j perity of old LaPorte as she is some- \ times called. To accomplish this it involves each and all of us to worn in this direction. You may have a j friend wiio contemplates going into I business that would be as | ro luctivu j in LaPorte as any other town in the : state, write h m that this is the place for him t > locate. Hereti fore our j people have been reluctant in seeking business men to locate here. We as well as many other residents of LaPorte have received letters of j parties from a distance desiring to locate with us, but we could'nt say anything encouraging, hence, they would look elsewhere and owinir to the location and slowness of our' town we would suffer tho loss eit'i business men wiio desired to locate with us. This with tho railroad in ; construction—will be among the by gones and we can request anil en- ! courage our friends to conic mid en ! joy the good fruits and prosperitv of a new born town.

Eifert, a trustworthy yeoman living near Grovania post' office, vouches for the truth of the following very remarkable story : Ilis family cat was the proud mother of three pretty little kittens, but death claimed one after a few days of carthlj* existence. The fond mother was heartbroken and to con sole herself in her afllietions and fill the vacant place in her household, she went out into the fields and brought home a young rabbit. Up on this little stranger she bestowed even greater affections than upon her little kittens. She fondled it much and gave it her most loving caresses. The little fellow took the place of the departed kitten at his foster mother's dugs. This gave old Tabby great pleasure. As the rabbit grew strong lrom the milk of its strange nurse, it insistoil upon leaving the snug little nest and ex ercising its legs; but Mrs. Tabby fearful that it might stay away would take it carefully in her month and bring it back. Mr. Eifert's little girl noticed this strange little puss and told her father that one of Tabby's babies bad long ears like their mule and was much more active than the others. Mr. Eifert upon investiga tion learned the tacts and studied this strange family for several days ; but the little girl upon seeing Tabby take the rabbit into her mouth and carry it back into her nest, became alarmed lest she might hurt it. She, therefore, carried it out into the! woods and let it run. The old cat. if possible, felt even greater grief upon the loss of this adopted child than at the death of lior little kitten. —Ex.

According to the Associated Press dispatches, counsel for Blank and ltosenweig, the Dutch Mountain murderers, made application to the court in Montreal, Canada, for a writ of habeas corpus in their behalf on the ground that the papers were HI error.
