As near as 1 can learn a num ber of the Democratic party are so anxious to vote for Mr. Meylert that they cannot sleep nights, and I think it is our duty to make their minds easy and give them a chauce to do something." This motion was carried and How ard in response said : "Mr. Cliairmsn and gentlemen of the convention,"l tbank you for the honor you have bestowed upon me, mid if elected will endeavor to full fill the duties of the oftice to the best of my ability, as I have or tried to do in tlu \>ast and will do iu the luture."

A RECTOR'i KEIEPTION. The Congregation or Nt. John'* Free Church Testily Their Ap preciation of Their Blew Hector.

On his return this summer, he was at once appointed to the llectoivbip of Bt. John's Free Church, iif Philadel phia, by tho Right Hev. O. W. Whitaker, Bishop of Pennsylvania. We wish him all prosperity iu his new sphere of action. Sullivan County Koiidx. The first road of which wo have any record, is the IndiaD trail, fol lowing up Sugar Run, from the North Branch (near Wyalusing) tliencc running in a Southwestern direction, crossing the head waters of Little Loyal Sock and Birch CreeK. Crossing the Big Loyal Sock near the point where the Ber wick turnpike now crosses that stream, and l'roin thence to the head waters of Muncy Creek, following its course to the West Branch. This road must have been traveled by the Indians for a long time. We find when the Moravien Missouaries with the colony of Christian Indians emigrated to Ohio from Wyalusing, a part of the company took this route under the care of a missionary by the name of Ettevein. The larger party going with their move able goods in thirty canoes, down the river, and up the West Branch to the mouth of Muncy Creek, where the companies were again joined. The overland party con sisted of fifty-four members, having with them sixty head of cattle and fifty horses and colts. This journey was mado between the 11th and lGth of .Tune 1772. The Wallas' farm, is mentioned as the place where they disposed of a part of their horses and cattle. This road was probably by the Wallases in making their first surveys in this countj r . The next road mentioned is known as the Wallas road. Its dinolion frcm the Muncy Settlement was nearly north to the Summit of the alle gheny, crossing the sources of the Ogdonian, Rock and Kettle creeks, thence along the mountain northward to a point above Forksvillc, where it descends to the valley. This road is presumed to have been made as early as 1700. About 1794 the Asylum Company opened a road from the termination of the Wallas road to their settlement near Ladds burg. It passed up Sick Creek, through Forks and Overton town ships connecting with the road built from the As3'lam village to Ladds burg. The third road built became one of great importance as a thoroughfare and known as the Geenese Road, passing over the allegheny mountain near Highland Lake, defending to the valley of the Ogdoniau ('reek to the Loyaisock, thence up the Loyal sock crossing the creek at Ilills- Grove, following tlie creek to the mouth ot Elk Creek, following that stream to Lincoln Falls, from thence to Eldredsville, crossing the county line in the llaverly Settlement and following down Mill Stone Hun to the Shraider Branch of the Towanda Creek. The date of building this road is not dollnately given but is believed to be prior to 1798, as wo find in connection with the his tory of the M, E. church, that the Loyaisock circuit Northumberland district of the Baltimore conference was organized that year, its route extending from Muncy to Burling ton. We propose to publish from time to time the results of our in vestigations relative to our high ways, and as inquiry has been made relative to our sources of obtaining information, will state that the col lection ot papers left by Michael Meylert are found to contain oonsiderablo information and that Hon. T. J. Ingham has placed at our disposal, a large amount of ma terial gathered at different times, and that we have drawn upon the published papers of Hon. C. D. Eldred ft) well as private information furn ished by him, yet we arc also under obligations to the editors of our county papers for such help as they could furnish, yet we are far from having material enough for a coun ty history. WM. MEYLERT. September stb, 1892. WILL TIIEIK BE A MTKIKE. The Entire Rending SJNICIU May lie Involved. CmcAOO, Sept. B—A strike is being prepared for on the whole system of the Reading Railroad Company. The strike, if it takes place, will include the brakemen, the conductors, the locomotive •jigineers and probably the telegraph Jjperators. The Grievance Com mittee which called on President McLeod were instructed to offer the alternative of a strike. The griev ance of the employes is thai their wages is not in accordance with the I rates allowed on other roads. Thev therefore ask that an increase of 20 per cent, be given and that the working day be reduced one hour. The REPUBLICAN, as usunl gave its readers the result of the Sullivan —Corbett fight one week iu advance of the Dushore papers. The RE PU»l,u:an is wide awake and up with the times. Subscribe for the only livo newspaper in the county. The malitia will stay at Home stead until all necessity for their presence has disappeared. This is right; nevertheless, the lact that the people have to foot the bills, suggests that the state ought to provide, in some way, for the pre vention of disputes between corpora tions and their workiugraen, by arbitration, or some other peaceable method. HE WILL VOTE t'OK IIAII RIMOM. A Prominent (aotlinm Mnuu lhcturer WcNcrts the Demo cratic Parti 1 . NEW YORK, Sept. G. —Florien Grosjean, a life long Democrat, to day announced his intention to vote for Harrison and Rcid. Mr. Gros jean is a native of France, and come to America forty-two years ago. Some thirty-one years ago he es tablished a spool factory in a base ment at the corner of Hester and Elizabeth streets, employing only three men. That was the nucleus of the large industry of which he is to-day the head. Both times that Cleveland ran ho voted and worked for him and helped in the party's hurrah when he was elected, but he said to-day : "I can no longer antagonize my own interests and the interests of the 1400 men in our employ by lend ing encouragement to a free trade propaganda. It is plain to me that the establishment of a free trade system would eventually force us to close our factory and throw out of work the operatives, most of whom have now comfortable homes on Long Island. Personally I would strain a point to vote for Mr. Cleve land, but practical experience has given me a fear ot the results of free trade. "lam out squarely for pro tection and reciprocity. That means mutual free trade, and we will not be giving away something for nothing. The increase in our trade with South American coun tries since reciprocity measures have gone into effect has created con sternation in England. That in itself is eloquent. I intend to do all I can to help elect Harrison and Reid, and shall take pains to sec to it that the employes in rnj care have a thorough opportunity to gain a clear understanding of the ques tions at issue in this campaign." lliiMiucMi* Locals.
