Bennett of the 'Mere, hafc spent six days hunting deer this season and has killed four of the innocent beauties. Dick is numlnr ed among our most successful deer hunters.

Republicans of Sullivan county will do the right thing by keeping their hands clean of assisting, by their signature, to make appoint ments under the newly elected ad ministration. fu short, it is'nt our fight and Democrats who desire the appointment of post master should look to those of their own political faith for assistance. A Clinton county school ma'am is said to have recently introduced a new and popular feature in her -chool. When a girl misses a word ihe boy who spells it gets permis sion to kiss her. If this method was in use in LaPorte our boys would'nt object and the girls, well, we don't believe they would study their lesson beyond endurance.

"If a comet,'' s.ns I'rofessor Wig gins of Ottawa, Canada, "should run between us mid our moor, us Lexell's comet ran among the moons of Jupiter in 1778, its powerful at traction would so contract the earth as to cause the waters of our oceans to overflow our continents as no doubt happened at the Noachian deluge. Ex-Governor Henry M. Hoyt. died at his home in Wilkes-Barre, at an early hour, Thursday Dec. Ist, after a lingering illness, in the C3d year of his age. Mr. Hoyt had held many positions of trust and honor, among which was that of Governor of Pennsylvania, to which office he was elected in 1878. He was also a soldier in the Union army during the late rebellion. "I am afraid the Democrats have won too much," said one of the most prominent of Bradford county Democrats a few days ago; and when it was suggested that they had only won enough to enable them to legislate aud put their policy into laws, he added that four years was a short time to change a nation's policy and get the new way to working right." Isn't it rather early to begin hedging? Hon. .John P. Connolly, Judge of I hi* Lackawanna county courts, died in Hcraiiton on Toes jay of last week in the 40tli year of bis age. He leaves a widow and five children to survive him—two sons and three daughters. The vacancy on the bench, caused by tue death of Mr. Connolly, will be filled by appoint ment of the Governor until the next general election. County Treasurer Wm. Murray, while at the county seat Monday, enjoyed a hunt in the forest east of Lake Mokoma, during the afternoon. He was accompanied by R. M. Stormont and Lhas. Lauer.

The important questions arising in the administration of the a Hairs of government are carefully reviewed and many wise suggestions and recommendations for the bet terment of our condition made. The protective policy of the Republican party receives the President's hearty endorsement, and, accepting the re sult of the recent election as mean ing a new policy and the repeal of the tariff, he directs serious atten tion to the situation and recom mends that the entire matter of re vision be left to the incoming Con gress. He says, and voices the sentiment of all true Republican?, that we can await with undimished confidence in the principles of the party, the result of the experiment that is to be made. The document is a credit to the statesmanship and great ability of the President, and will goon record as one of the ablest state papers emenating from a chief magistrate. It will strength en the Republican party, because it does not recede one iota from the issues of which the party went be fore the count ry and suffered de feat. It iH descrv ng of careful fetu ly l»y all patriotic citizens. Our watch maker—A. Weber was in bad humor last week and accord ing to rumor he had a right to be. Weber does lots of repairing for foreigners at work oil the railroad and when a watch comes into be putin repair, Adolph gives the own er a card which is numbered to cor respond with a card he hangs on the watch. One day last week the owner of one of these cards lost it on the streets and it was picked up by an Italian and presented to Weber who gave him the watch, valued at ten dollars, believing him to be the owner. Shortly, the own er came in and demanded his watch or the price of the same. The mat ter up to this date has not been set tled, but we understand that Adolph will make the owner good find this is what has riled our wateli j mnker— Mr. Weber Jay Goulil is ilea -. The gretr financier breathed his last at lifteen minutes after nine Saturday morning at Lis house, 579 Fifth avenue. Since early Friday night he had been hovering between life and death, and Saturday morning the end came, seemingly without pain. Mr. and Mrs. George Gould, Miss Helen, Mise Annie Gould and Ed' win and Howard Gould were at his bedside when he died. Dr. Munn and Dr. Janeway were in attend ance. Mrs. Edwin Gould left the house early this morning and was not present when her father-in-law died. Jay Gould was called the King of Wall street and his wealth is estimated at one hundred mil lions. The year of greatest growth in boys is the seventeeth ; in girls, the fourteenth. While girls reach their full height in their fifteenth year, they acquire full weight at the age of twenty. Boys are stronger than girls from birth to the eleventh year; then girls become superior physi cally to flu- seventeenth J'car, when the tables iiv ng;»jn turned aud re main so. From November to April children grow very little and gain no weight; from April to July they gain in height, but 10-e in weight, and from July to November tbey increase greatly in weight, but not in height.— British Medical Month *y- P. M. Whitacre of LaPorte has accepted a situation at Hills- Grove and left for that place on Wednesdaj'. He will move his family to his new quarters the first of next week. During Mr. and Mrs. Whitaore's two years stay at LaPorte, tbey made hosts of friends, who dislike very much to see them leave. Peter was one of our prominent players in the band aud his departure is very much re gretted by the members of this organization. The boys wish him lots of success in his new home. Weather pr 'phots predict nine enow storms this whiter, A PRETTY LITTLE PARTY. Given by a Pretty Little Girl and Eujoyed by Her Pretty Utile Friend*. A few days ago neat and prett\ invitations were issued by Miss May, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. \V. C. Mason to ft number of her little girl friends to attend a social gathering, the event being her 10th birthday at her home on East Main street, 011 Friday afternoon Dec 2d, Irora 4to7p. M. Promptly at the appointed time the little lassies ar rivtd, and alter laving aside their wraps were ushered into the parlor where they were received by Miss May. At first the little ones were inclined to be bashful but as time wore on this was overcome and one ind all entered into the same spirit and all was happiness. Refresh ments were served, and of course very much enjoyed by all, as little folks like good things to eat as well as big folks. At the proper time } all departed for home with every expression of having enjoyed a very pleasant outing. Miss May was the recipient of many valuable and handsome presents. Among those present were: Mollie Wrede, Jesse Wrede, Mable Spencer, Ettie Chase, Edith Keller, Dolla Crossley, Fredie Crossley, Daisy Ettinger, Bertie Ettinger, Mamie Hines, Katie Bcahan and Mable Cooley. The Tribune Rallies The Party.* The New York 'Tribune is a news paper to which the people of this country in general and especially the Republican party have alwa3 r s turned instinctively, in public emergencies, for calm and courage ous counsels, and a brave rallying cry. Never losing its head, never misleading the public by sensation al utterances. The Tribune has many times calmed the public mind in times of disaster and led the way out of difficulties by sound advice and its patriotic and w'ell directed efforts. The Tribune does not, for a moment, yield the point on which the Presidential campaign was fought. It believes that the work ingmen of this country Lave been deluded by demagogues) and that they have struck blindly at the very system under which they are pros pering us they never have done be fore in their lives. Republicans in this country will do well to sub scribe for the Tribune this year in combination with their own local papers. The REPUBLICAN* and Tribune only *1.25, in advance. Coining Sew States. It is HOW well settled that the Democrats will have a small ma jority in the United States Senate after the 4th of March next; as well us a larger majority in the House of iL'prt ventaiives; and will have th 6 IV si leui to approve such laws as Congress ujiy pass The majority in the Senate, how ever, will be so small that the Al bany Union believes it will be well to guard against possible contingen cies by admitting into the Union as soon as possible .the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, which would send six Democratic Senators and give a good working majority in the Senate. It claims that when the Republicans found their majority in the Senate too close to be comfortable they did not hesitate to increase it by admitting Washington, Montana and Idaho, because they were counted as being safely Republican. What will be done when there are no more States to add cannot be conjectured. We are informed that some hunt ers from Williamsport, took their dog» with them to hunt deer on the North Mountain, last weok. The dogs were caught chasing deer by some huuters from up the North Branch who shot them on sight. The matter should not end with the killing of the dogs, but the Williams port hunters, who thus knowingly violate the law, should be ferretted out and prosecuted to the fullest ex tent of the law. If the game law is worth anything at all, those who violate it with impunity should be made to pay the full penalty for their wrong doing.— JSx. On Thursday Dec. Ist while Byron Williams a prentice in the blacksmith shop, was engaged in shoeing a horse, owned by Chas. Latter, the animal pressed his foot ] down to the floor catching Byron's ; hand and smashed two of his fingers j to a jelly. Those present at the mishap heard the bones crush under neath the animals foot. It was just i one year ago the Ist of December ' that Byron accidently shot himself i in the hand while out gunning. Byron has positively decided that lie will repok treatment at an institute over three 3 ears ago, and has had no de sire to taste liquor since. But it cost us over SIOO. I had a brother in-law, a chemist, who was a slave to drink, but too poor to take treat ment. He analyzed the medicine my husband brought home and cured himself. Four of our acquaintances got the prescription and cured themselves. The following is the prescription: Electrofied gold, 15 grs.; muriate of ammonia, gi's.j compound fluid extract of cinchona, 4 grs.; fluid-extract of coca, 1| oz.; glycerine, 1J oz.; nitrate of strychnia, 1 gr.; distilled water, 1J oz. Take a teaspoonful every two hours when awake, for two or three weeks. After the second or third day there will be no desire for drink. Medi cine to effect a cure will not cost over $3.50. I think every paper should help the poor by publishing this prescription. Mas. WM CAUTER. DLMCOVERED at LaNt. The Williamsport man who re cently paid $1,400 for an alleged gold brick, who tried to keep his identity hidden and for whom Dis trict Attorney Rielly has been look ing, has turned up at last. His name is Abraham Fulcrut, and he is reputed to be worth *40,000. For years Mr. Fulcrut was a prosperous farmer of Loyalsock township, but some time ago he removed to that city and the confidence operators found him an excellent subject. The gold brick men are well known erooks and as warrants have been issued for their arrest, it is believed that they are within reach and all will soon be placed behind prison bars. An Alleged Deserter Captured. Henry Stebge of East Smithfitiid, Pa., a deserter from the regular arm}', was brought to this city last night by John Ansel. Stebge en listed about two years ago and was sent West and a short time after left his post without permission from the proper authorities. I'he government officers had been look ing for him and as soon as he made his appearance near his old home he was arrested. Stebge is a large muscular young man, but sufiers badly from rheumatism, and can wnlk onlj - with a cane. He was taken to the county jail to await orders from Washington. uertiser , Nov. 29th.
