will do the right thing by keeping
their hands clean of assisting, by

ments under the newly elected ad

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

would'nt object and the girls, well,

Lexell's comet ran among the moons

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?

Presdent Harrison's final message
to Congress is an exhaustive docu
ment, and as pronounced in its de
votion to the principles of Republi
canism as the most exacting advo
cate of the party's policy could de
ire. 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

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 '

THE GOLD CURE.
A Western lawly Gives the
Famous Gold Care Pre
scription.
A Chicago lady comes to the front
and claims that druukennees can be
cured at home instead of going to
th<* expense of attending an insiitu
tion. Here is her card to the pub
lic :
So much has been written regard
ing the gold cure for
that we all know of the great good
that has been accomplished. M\
husband, who was a wreck for years,
t >ok 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.
