THE REPUBLICAN. FKIDAY, JANUARY 27. 1803. Valentine Day Feb. 14th. Hold your caucus early. Our correspondence is good. The weather has moderated. Washington's birthday Feb. 22. Friday was pay day on the W. & N. B. Easter comes early this j - ear— April 2nd. The hum of the saw mill is pleas ant to listen to. Sleigh riding was the order of the day, on Sunday. Hotel Nordinont is doing a thriv ing business. There are signs of spring—ground hog day is approaching. It is expected that LaPorte will take a building boom next summer. The lumbermen arc taking ad vantage of the extra good sleighing. If a man could have a wife made to order, he would find fault with her. The Dushore Gazette gave facts and hit the Review man hard last week. Love, we are told, is blind yet is matrimony frequently an eye opener. Mrs. Wm. Keller and son Roy of Cherry, were visiting friends at La- Porte, Monday. Sheriff Mahaffey is kept busy these days attending to the official duties of his office. Atty. J. G. Scouten, of Dusliorc, was doing business at the county seat, Monday. Mrs. Emma Barrows and daught er Olive of LaPorte, are visiting friends at Philadelphia. Skating on Lake Mokoma has been scarce this winter, owing to the continued lay of snow. Accidents are not as plenty along the line of railroad as they were a short time before the holidays. Mrs. W. Holla and three children of Bernice, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Slieiiff Mahaffey, of LaPorte. Ut is rumored that several busi ness men of our town will emerge /into the livery business next sum mer. James Miller, superintendent of the Stevensville tannery, was trans acting business at the county scat, Monday. "Good roads are cheaper than bad roads," is the sententious way an exchange hurls a great truth at its readers. The Towanda Review people spell •our learned Judge's name, thus "Sitzer." Take a look at our of ficial directory. Mr. Blaine's gallant fight against <death is in keeping with his charac ter. His courage was always be yond reproach. By the aid of friends, we placed three new subscribers on our list the early part of this week. Please accept thanks. (Good health in the winter time, 'flqptnds more upon keeping the feqt.dry and warm than upon bills at the drug store. Our landlords are circulating their liceuse petitions. They find no trouble in obtaining the required number of signers. This is the time for icy pavements to get their work in. An icy pave ment is a sure sign of an early fall and a late spring. LaPorte is a busy place at this date. The railroading, the tan neries and the lumbering, make things lively here and hereabouts. .Everybody is invited to attend the ball at Hotel Kennedy this Friday evening. A grand good time is anticipated. Bill, only $1.25. Miss Bessie Wrede, Miss Agnes Wrede, Miss Anna Beahen and Oscar Snyder, of LaPorte, were at the City Hotel Saturday.— Gazette *& Bulletin. The weather moderated on Sun •day and in the forenoon the sun flhone and it was pleasant. The afternoon was not so pleasant owing to a snow squall. If the oyster become pretty scarce, as is threatened, there is no cause for needless alarm. There are a lot of clams in this town that can be depended upon. The frigid cold weather of the past two or three weeks necessitates the replenishing of the coal bin, frequently, and with coal at $5.50 a ton, soon runs into money. Tho Prohibitionists of LaPorte, took part in the Democratic caucus the other night. Nothing like being on the big side if it is a trifle humiliating. The tax payers of Forksville, held a union caucus one day last week. The Republicans pride themselves of being a generous lot of people, any how. Flour of sulphur blown into a child's throat will kill diptheria germs. The Philadelphia Record says this simple remedy has saved many a little one's life. • The Prohibitionists of Forks township have advertised a caucus aud evidently mean to place a ticket in the field. The Prohis. in Forks twp., believe in party lines. It is rumored that Atty. John G. Scouten has purchased tho Sadler property at Hills Grove and will lease the same to James Keefe, who will apply for license at this Febru ary term of court. The Dushore Gazette, according to a published statement last week, is doing at least two thirds of the job work executed at the metropolis. To a man up a tree —it would appear that the Review man is having pretty hard sliding. Joseph Wajburn the wagon maker of Muncy Valley, was in town one day last week. Joe says he is doing a first class business at the Valley, and lilies the country first rate. lie expects to enlarge his shop this spring. Court will convene on the 20lh of February and will continue in ses sion for two weeks. Civil cases will receive the attention of the court the first week aud the latter six days will be taken up in hearing license petitions and commonwealth cases. We have had use for our knife several times since we loaned it. It's a good one, don't blame you for holding onto it, however, if you have finished your building contract please leave the same at the print ing office. John O. Wilson of Sonestown, made the REPUBLICAN a call and re newed his subscription one year in advance, on Monday. Mr. Wilson lias served as road supervisor of Davidson township for thirteen years and is a good competent man for tho place. The year 1893 opens with two full moons during the first mouth. The first full moon occurred on January 2d, at Bh. slra. a. m. The second full moon makes its advent on tho 31st Bh. 11m. p. m., a little less than three hours before the month closes. It is whispered that the Forks township road commissioners arc not satisfied with the outcome of the case—Sullivan County vs. Forks twp., relating to the building of a road down Loyal Sock and will ask the Supreme Court to decide upon it. The Forks twp , people exhibit good grit if nothing more. John E. Gallagher, manager of Hotel Kennedy, says they are doing a land office business over there. It required three clerks to wait on their numerous guests Saturday evening. Hotel Kennedy is said to be one of the very best paying stands in the county at this date. The Hun who was struck on the head with a shovel in the hands of an Italian, last week, an account of which was given in the REPUBLICAN, is recovering. On Saturday, how ever, it was thought he would die from the injuries inflicted. The Italian who did the deed has left this part of the country. The Pennsylvania society for the cruelty of animals of Philadelphia, are about to commission a good re sponsible man of LaPorte, to act as their agent in this section and guard against and prosecute the mlsusage of our horses, mules and cattle. This will be good news to the friends of the animal. The Forksville Graded School Literary Society, will give a public entertainment, consisting of pan tomines, charades, dialogues, music etc , on Feb. 3d, 1893, in the M. E. church at Forksville, Pa. All are invited to attend. Admission : adults, 20 cents, all under 12 years of age, 10 cent*. BLANCHE COLLINS, Sec'y. It is said that the business men of Forksville will not remonstrate against the granting of license to Mr. Sceley, who is owner and pro prietor of the Forksville House. Mr. Seeley Is quoted as being a first class landlord and the people feel assured that the house, though licensed, will be conducted in a proper aud legal banner. The tax payors of Jamison City aro knowing of the fact that tliey must nominate judge and inspectors of election and assistant assessor separate from Davidson twp. proper. We merely call the matter to mind. Throe boys, who were playing near the old freight station of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at Phienix ville, unearthed a barrel Lalf filled with rubbish. It had been sunk a foot in the earth. When its con tents were turned out there was found a curious ball of frozen snakes, four of which were rattlers. Township auditors are responsible, under the Baker ballot law, for printing and distributing the tickets for the spring elections in their re spective districts, and they should prepare for the work as soon as possible. The work ot printing, perforating, binding and distribu ting the ballots cannot be done on short notice, and the auditors should not wait until the last mo ment to order the ballots printed. Michael Shay of Wysox, and who works in the lumber woods in the vicinity of Kicketts, was killed by a falling limb on Saturday last. The accident hap pened during the afternoon of the day above mentioned and th-3 un fortunate fellow died at about 9 P. M., of the same date. Deceased was felling a spruce tree at the time of the accident and did not observe the limb which hung loose on the tree top and caused the fatal blow. Sullivan county, although moun tainous and thinly populated, is out of debt. During the last year the commissioners paid off her indebted ness, of over four thousand dollars and she is now independent. With her magnificent places of summei resorts, which arc increasing in popularity every year, there will be continued prosperity in Sullivan.— Milton Record. Eugene Tripp of LaPorte, and who owns a restaurant stand at Jamison City, withdrew his petition for license before the Columbia county courts, last week. It seems that Mr. Thos. E. Proctor had been the instigator of circulating a re monstrance and had secured an at torney to prosecute the illegal sell ing of liquors at the City, and rather than have any trouble brought on his tenant Eugene withdrew his petition. He is of the opinion, how ever, that the shoe will fit numer ous landlords in and about Jamison. It has been suggested that "In quests" should be held over dead foreigners killed along the lino of railroad. This law, has'nt been very badly misused, owing to the fact, that there has, but one foreign, er been killed outright along the works. The tax payers don't want to urge inquests more than is really necessary, as they are expensive luxuries. We admit, however, that inquests would come cheaper than paying Italy for a c tuple of souls put under the ground for causes un known. Attys. T. J. & F. H. Ingham will please accept our thanks for mem bership certificate in the "Chicago Renting Agency." The object of this agency is to look after and se« cure accommodations for the numer ous guests who may visit Chicago during the World's Fair, providing they are equipped with a certificate of their organization. We don't imagine we will have any use for the certificate, however, owing to the fact that it wtll take all of our loose change to settle those $97 with the county. The following notice we take from the Albuquerque (New Mexico) Democrat: D. F. Taylor, an owner in one of the largest gold mines in Dolores, in which Warren, Ferguson & Bru ner, of this city, are interested, was in the city yesterday. The ore body is from 500 to 600 feet in width, and it is possibly the largest deposit of gold-bearing rock in the world. It is low grade free milling ore and can bp worked at an im mense profit. The Mr. Bruner spoken of is Mylert Bruner, Esq., son of Hon. Isaac Bruner, of Muncy and former ly of LaPorte. The LaPorte REPUBLICAN is now printed upon a Cottrell & Babcock cylinder press with steam power, a new engine having been putin some two weeks ago. The REPUBLICAN has been much improved both in contents and mechanical appearance. We congratulate Bro. Cbcrey upon his evident success and trust pros perity may continue to smile upon his enterprise financially, but politi cally never—-Benton Argw. Brother Smith is evidently a strong believer of Democratic princi ples. At the close of tho incoming free trade administration, however, wo are in hopes of winning the Ar gus on our side of the fence. In the meantime Bro. Smith will please accept our thanks tor kind wishes. THE nan COMMISSION, Meetlug>t Seranton—An Appro priation to Be Asked For. At a meeting of the Pennsylvania fish commission held in Scranton, a bill was formulated for presenta tion to the Legislature, providing lor increased penalties against fish baskets and weirs in the waters of the State, in accordance with the recommendation of the governor. The commission also decided to ask an appropriation of SO,OOO for the building of fishways at Clark's ferry and Shamokin dam, in the Susque hanna and for $3,000 with which to construct a shad hatchery plant on the Delaware. It was proposed to award the state executive commis sion of the world's fair managers SB,OOO, for a state fishery exhibit at Chicago, and appointed Colonel John Gay to get up and attend to tue exhibit. A bill to increase penalties agaiD9t the pollution of streams with culm, sawdust, liquors from tanneries and other delterious mat ter was drafted for presentation to the Legislature. How An Oyster Grow*. The oyster at the commencement of its career is so small that 2,000,- 000 would only ocoupy a square inch. In six months each individu al oyster is large enough to cover half a crown, and in twelve months a crown piece. The oyster is its own architect, and the shell grows as the fish iuside grows, being never too small. It also bears its age upon its back, and it is as easy to tell the age of an oyster by looking at its shell as it is that of Horses by looking at their teeth. Every one who has handled an oyster shell must have noticed the successive layers overlapping each other. These are technically termed shots and each one marks a year's growth, so that by counting them the age of the oyster can be determined. Up to the time of its maturity— that is, when 4 years of age—the shots are regular and successive, but after that time they become irregu lar and are piled one upon another, so that the shell becomes bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters have been seen of which each shell was nine inches thick, whence they may be guessed to be more than 900 years old. One to two million oysters are produced from a single parent and their scarcity is accounted for fact that man is not the only oyster eating animal. The star fish loves the oyster and preys upon it unceasingly. A va riety of whelk is also very fond of young oysters to get at which it bores right through the shell and sucks the fish up through the hole thus made. — Jioston Globe. COST OF TIIK HOMESTEAD RIOT.

By wind ing it in the morning the main spring remains close and tight all night. It keeps the movement steady at a time when you are handling It, and at a time when it is subjected to more or les3 jarring.— Ex.

In the case of Isaac Rosen weig, convicted of murder in the fir9t de cree, at Tunkbannock, the motion for a new trial was argued before Judge Sittscr Tuesday, but was re fused on the grounds that no satis factory reason had been shown why one should be granted. Ou Thursday at the opening of court in the afternoon both prison ers were brought before the bar and were sentenced by Judge Sittser •"to be taken to the jail, thence to the jail yard, there to be hanged by the neck until dead, and may God have mercy on your soul." W hen Blank was called up for sentence, he tried to say something but broke down and cried so that his words could not be understood. Rosen weig kept silent. The date of the execution will be fixed by Gov. Pattison. The 'L'unklmnnock correspondent of the Scranton Times has the fol lowing in regard to the case : Rev. G. L. Burson, who was one of the jurymen, visited the prisoners Rosen weig and Blank on Sunday, and the following conversation en sued : Mr. Burson said! "Rosen weig you did not tell the whole truth of the murder ; you told a phusible story, but not the whole truth. Do you think there is any hope for you?' Rosen weig replied : "There may be." Burson told him there was no ground for a new trial, and that he should prepare for the in evitable. Rosenweig then said : ''l now tell you the truth. We botli had it made up a long while to rob Marks of his jewelry case but did not intend to kill him ; Marks and Blank were ahead in Marks' rig; I got my horse to tall down and MarKs came back to help me get it up, and Blank took the jewelry case out and put it in the snow and covered it up; then, when we got the horse up they went on and when I came up I uncovered the jewelry case and put it in my sleigb. We drove on 25 or 30 minutes when Marks discovered that the case was gone and he came back to get it; lie commenced to light for it and Blank shot him." The rest of his story, as to the hiding of the body by both ot them and their subsequent action was as before stated ou the trial of the case. Died at the Age.ol 115. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22.—Mrs. Catherine Sharp, widow of John G. Sharp, a hero of the war of 1812, died hero this afternoon. Mrs. Sharp was born February sth, 1777, I and was therefore within two weeks of being 115 years old. She was said to be the oldest pensioner on the rolls of the United States gov ernment. Mrs. Sharp died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Smith, who is seventy-four years old. Two grand-children, two great-grand-chil dren and three great-great-grand-chi'- dren also survive her. bhe retained her faculties almost to the moment of her death. The newspapers does more di rectly and indirectly toward build ing up and improving the town than any other single means that can be employed. The editor, if he be a public spirited, enterprising and progressive individual, as they usu ally are, booms the schools, churches and private enterprises, leaves no opportunity pass by in which to say a good word for the town, points out its advantages, suggests public improvements and in every way that lies in his power seeks to ad vance the welfare and prosperity of the town at his own expense and many times without thanks. Im agine his feelings then when some would-be important fellow reproach, es him because he dosen't boom things enough, and nine times out of ten that same fellow has never paid one cent toward supporting the paper, and the paper he reads with marked regularity is either borrowed from his next door neigh bor or picked up from the counter in the store in which he trades.— Ex.
