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.

Your watch if wound in the morn

wound at night. If you don't wind
it at night the main spring is then
relaxed instead of being in that con
dition during the day. By wind

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.—

THE OBATU PENALTY.
Rosenwelg Refused a Mew Trial—
Both .Vurdrrrrft NenU>ueed
to Be Hanged.
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.

of being 115 years old. She was
said to be the oldest pensioner on

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.—
