The harness on Joseph Shaffer's
oxen, attracted the attention of court
guests, on Tuesday morning.

it was quite a novelty to many of
them.
Owing to impassible roads caused
by drifted snow, a large percentage

The excuse for the delay was ample,
however.

be good news to people all along
tbe line.
C. W. Champion, the Dushore

Mr. Champion in his business re
lations made many friends in this
vicinity and enjoyed a good trade.
Bert "Van Fleet called at our office
on Monday and wagered the cigars
that he could set a stick of type.
Ho won too. This was exceedingly

presented a bill making it a misde

the writer instead of the editor for a
libelous publication.
The entire Republican ticket of
Elkland township was elected by a
good big majority on Tuesday
February 21st. However, we do not
approve of drawing party lines at
the spring election. We think
t'.j best men should be selected for
twp. offices. Possibly, though, the
people of Elkland may entertain that
they have accomplished this. We
shall not dispute them.

When a farmer procures a flock
of sheep and turns them out to pick
their living from weeds and stubble,
remarks an exchange, he will not
find much profit in sheep raising.
The time is going by for sheep to
produce something from nothing.
Good breeds, abundant pasturage,
care in winter and warm shelter for
the lambs will revolutionize old
methods, as larger returns will re
sult from the attention bestowed.
WILKES-BARRE, Feb. 27.—Ex-
Banker Rockafellow is said to be

from pains in the head to-day, and
a swelling in the side is giving him

not reoeive over five per cent.

A number of our subscribers
called and renewed their subscrip
tion to the REPUBLICAN last week and
the forepart of this week. They all
spoke very highly of the REPUBLI
CAN. We also added several new
names to our list. We sincerely be.
Have tbe REPUBLICAN has the largest
circulation of either paper in the
county, and the good part of it is
they are all good pay. We don't
address our paper to every Tom,
Dick and Harry unless we know
they are good pay. The RKPUBLI
CAN is worth all we ask for it and
unless we receive tbe prioe, sl.oo—

Says the Philadelphia Star : The
country roads are still in a frozen
condition, and therefore passable
without serious inconvenience, bul
the time is near at band * when the
frost will leave the ground, and
there will come the tug of war for
farmers. The roads then, saturated
as the soil will be by repeated rains
and snow, will be practically im»
passable except at an outlay of time,
horseflesh and vehicle repair that
farmers can illy bear. For this
there is a remedy, an absolute
specific—good roads, better, the
best roads that can be constructed.
If taxes were laid of sufficient
amount to produce revenue that
would meet the cost of such reads,
we should no doubt have loud and
long complaints from the taxed
parties, which would only be nat
ural ; but if they would thoughtfully
consider the subject, they could not
fail to reach the conclusion that
they could make no better invest
ment, none that in the end would
pay them such handsome dividends.
They would not receive their
dividends in the shape of money
paid them at slated periods,, but in
the form of diminished expenses.
Their horses would be longer lived,
their wagons and carts would need
fewer repairs, and they would be
able to reach the village, the town,
thf» railroad station, in less than half
the time than is now required.
Many years ago people were im
prisoned for debt, in this State, and
in looking over some old newspaper
files recently we came across the
following item in point: "In the
days of imprisonment debt Isaac
Slocum lived on the hill where VS'm.
Benedict now resides. He owned a
tract of land containing about four
hundred acres, which extended from
McCord's land to what is now the
west borough line. During the war
of 1812 he became involved by
making purchases, at high prices,
upon which he could not realize.
Among other ventures, he purchased
one hundred barrels of salt at
twelve dollars a barrel. The war
soon after closed, the price of salt
came down to three dollars per bar
rel, and as men were imprisoned for
debt in those days, it became neces
sary for Mr. Slaoura to emigrate.
He accordingly moved to Ohio,
which was then considered the far
west, where his family became
wealthy and highly respectod."
This brings to mind the fact that it
was Judge William Elwell. when a
member of the legislature in 1843,
who introduced a bill, and pressed
it to passage, abolishing imprison
ment for debt. It was a humane
act, and one which the life of Judge
Elwell frequently exemplified while
Judge of our courts here. Wy•
oming Democrat.
The Towanda lteview advises the
Commissioners to make an investi
gation before paying the election
boards,, to see if some of them did
not intentionally delay the count in
order to get in an extra half day.
In the first place the County Com
missioners have nothing to do with
paying the election boards for their
services at the Spring elections the
bills being paid by the respective
townships. And in the second
place, as we understand it, the law
considers no half days. An investi
gation of this kind might prove bonc
fioial, however, as there U soarcely a
question but what some election
boards do unnecessarily delay the
count in order to work until after
12 o'clock, and thereby get in an
extra day.
The Commissioners of Sullivan
would do well lo continue this in
vestigation with a few of our elec
tion boards. We say a few because
there a few who asked an
extra day. We vote an investiga
tion.
A bill is now before the legisla
ture requiring school districts to
furnish free text books to our pub
lic schools, which is as follows:
"That school directors or controllers
shall purchase text books and other
neoessary scientific and mechanical
supplies for use in the public schools
of their respective school districts
out of the sohool funds of the dis
trict, and that at least one-third of
all the books be provided each year
until all the books required are
furnished, and when so procured,
the necessary books atd school sup
plies shall furnished free of cost
to each pupil for use in the schools
of said distriot, subject to the order
of the directors thereof, whose duty
it shall be to provide for the safe
keeping and care of the books which
shall be returned. Section 2, "that
no school district shall receive its
portion of the State appropriations
to which it may be eotitled, until
the provisions of this act shall have
been compiled with,''
We are authorized to state that
Prof. M. R. Black of Forksville,
will not be a candidate for the re
election to the County Superintend
ency in May next. Mr. Black con
templates going into business quite
extensively, hence, the abaudoning
of the idea of being a candidate for
re-election. Prof. Black retires
from office with an excellent record
and the best wishes of the people.
This leaves the field to Prof. F. W.
Meylert of Forksville and Prof. M.
C. Miller of Dushore.
Trojr Court House Case.
The Troy Court House Case was
argued before Judge Olmstead, of
Potter county, in the Grand Jury
room at the Court House on Wednes
day. Delos Rockwell, Esq, of
Troy, and Judge Wilson of Wells
boro, appeared for the plaintiff, and
McPherson and Angle, of this place
fur the County Commissioners.
The question to be decided is
whether, the law passed establish
ing a court at Troy the County Com
missioners can be compelled to
build a Court House at Troy at the
county's expense. After listening
to the arguments, Judge Olmstead
took all the papers referring to the
case, and reserved his decision.—
Bradford Republican.
Ex-County Treasurer Edward
Bergan is of the opinion that our
county Treasurer should accept of
less than five per cent commission
and says, that that will be the is
sue next fall. Ed made this re
mark in the Treasurer's office on
Friday and it was well taken by the
majority of people present. Ed is
surelv a friend of the tax payers
and is deserving of much credit for
this bold assertion. There are but
few democrats in our county who
would have dared to advanced this
reduction in the Treasurer's office.
It is fair to presume that Mr. Bergan
has named the issue of noxt Fall's
campaign so far as this ofHce is con
cerned.
