THE REPUBLICAN. FKIDAY, MAitCH 10. 18D8. Easter April 2d. Wintor is still with us. Moving time is near at hand. Subscribe for the REPUBLICAN. The snow banks are still with us. More snow on Tuesday. W hen will it cease ? St. Patrick's Day next Friday, March 17 th. Our exchanges quots many deaths from rheumatism. David B. Hill defines it a mug wump administration. Mrs. Bivins of LaPorte, is re ported on the sick list. This winter seems to have an un commonly stiff back bone. Mrs. Ward, of Laporte, is visiting friends near Buffalo, X. Y. Candidates for county ollices, are beginning to come to the surface. F. W. Gallagher has opened up his restaurant and is ready for business. An oil well is being put down near Liberty, in Tioga couuty, this state. Each person in this country sends on an average of forty-four letters every day. The sun was out in full ray on Sunday, but the ' wind blew con tinuously. The second Democratic President in 36 years was inaugurated on Saturday. J. W. Ballard was transacting business at Scranton, the early part of this week. A. J. Bradley ol Sonestown, was transacting business in Williamsport, on Saturday. Judge Sittser as yet, has nit filed liis opinion in the Snider cfc Peter man license case. So far as heard from, Sullivan county was very poorly repre sented at the inauguration. Miss Maud Crossley of LaPorte, was visiting friends at Strawbridge, Lycoming county, last week. James McFarlane called to see our new engine one day last week. He complimented it very highly. Chas. Lauer of LaPorte will leave for Philadelphia on Saturday, where he will visit friends for several days. Do you suppose with that high Bilk hat on, he was taken for one of the cabinet or one of the jocky boys. John Boyd left for Philadelphia, on Wednesday. Wallace Willis, of "Williamsport, is now foreman of the REPUBLICAN 1 office. The Canton post office was robbed of stamps, cash and registered let ters to the amount of SGOO on Mon day night of last week. There are about 100,000 federal offices to be emptied and filled. The latest census of office seekers foots up about 1,000,000. John Paulhamus, Esq., while in town transacting business, called at the REPUBLICAN office and renewed his subscription, on Monday-. Mr. and Mrs. Judge Ingham of LaPorte, attended the funeral of Mr. I ngham's sister, Mrs. Dr. Hornet at Wyalusing, on Thursday last. Mr. and Mrs. Donatell and Miss Ettinger, returned from their visit, to New York city, on Saturday evening. They report a splendid time. Sheriff Knapp of Wyoming coun ty should reserve a place in the jail yard for Sullivan county guests, at the execution of Rosenweig and Blank. The LaPorte post office went in to Republican hands in July, 388'J hence, we can expect the "bird" to return to the political enemy about July 1893. Our farmers say that the pheas ants have been driven by the severe winter from the woods to apple orchards where they find food in the buds on the trees. Mr. Fred E. Gleim, cashier of the West Branch Bank of Williamsport, fell while going from his house to the barn one day last w«ek and sus tained a broken rib. The Local Institute for Western Sullivan has secured the services of Hon. Henry Ilouck of Ilarrisburg, Deputy Supt. of Public Instruction, for an evening lecture, March 17, at Forksville. Mr. Houck is one of the most pleasing speakers in our whole state and to fail to hear him is to miss a fine evenings entertain ment. We bespeak for Mr. Houck a crowded house and a delighted audience, Two wood-alchol factories are to be established near Canton. It is stated that they will consume 6,000 cords of wood annually. Cliauncoy M. Dopcw thinks Har rison will be the candidate ol the republicans in 18:16. 11 so, will Chauncey stay home from Europe and <lo some work during tho cam paign? 11 is reported that Proctor & Hill ha re bought all tbo land on South Mountain formerly belonging to the Seliradcr land company, including the Carbon Itun mines.— Canton Sentinel. Mr. and Mrs. Newton C. Maben of La Porte, left for Kanoza Lake, N. Y., on Thursday last in answer to a telegraph received by Mr. Maben stating that his mother was dangerously ill. Tho musical convention convened at LaPorte on Tuesday, with a fair sized audience. Music will reign at the county seat the entire week and on Saturday evening the grand con cert will take place. The Marks murder has been macle tho subject of a novel designed to be sold to youthful readers for the sum ol live cents. "Nick Carter" figures as the detective, and the title of the tale is "Tracked to Montreal."' It is rumored that Mr. Davidge of.Jamison City, anticipates erect ing a hub factory at LaPorte, on the completion of the \\ . & N. 13. rail road. A hotter location for an .en terprise of this kind would be hard to find. We learn that ex- Post-Master, Walter Spencer is the only .appli cant seeking the appointment of the LaPorte post-otlieo. Mr. Spencer made an excellent P. M. under Cleveland's administration in 'B4, and the people arc pleased with tiic selection. When young ladies n-k for post age stamps they do not give the denomination. If they want one centers, they simply say "without;' if two centers, "with." On the former, Columbus has no whiskers; on the latter lie has. It is seldom they ask for one centers. The Eluiiru Advertiser, says that Will Wight of that city has become a'■straight democrat." 1'- will be remembered that Will ran for Sheriff of Chemung county on the Republi can ticket recently. With this in mind one can hardly credit the statement ol the Advertiser. Big lloods are prophesied by the knowing ones. While their pre dictions may come true, they are quito as liable not to bo fulfiled. The snow may go oil as quietly as it did after the blizzard of ISBS. La- Porte situated as it is, on a moun tain will be safe in either event. Tom Reed was abused because the fifty-first congress was a billion dollar congress. Mr. Crisp, the tammany speaker, has the honor of having presided over a billion-and twenty—million- dollar congress. Democratic majorities of the Tam many variety always increase taxes ! There will be a meeting of the farmers and citizens of Sonestown and vicinity at Sonestown, Thurs day evening March 10, for the pur pose of organizing a Graugc There will bo short addresses on the ob jects and principles of the Grange by Ulysses Bird, Master of Elkland Grange, No. 970, and M. R. Black County Deputy. * * * February, the shortest month in the year, hascomo and gone. There were not enough days in it for the moon to get full. Winter, by the calendar, has departed, and the spring quarter of the jear has begun. We don't recommend this, however, as first-class weather for picnics in the woods, or advise anyone to put on bis summer clothes. LaPorte borough will receive S3OO license money this year. The amount increases almost yearly. This, however, is not gratifying to many of our citizens, but what's (he use of complaining, the applicants would receive their license anyway, and a small amount of liquor money invested in improvements on our streets will do uo harm. We are a firm believer in high license. There will be but one case argued in the Supreme Court from Sullivan county at this session, which will con vene in Philadelphia on Monday, viz : llartzig vs. L. V. 11. R. The attornies in the case are : Scouten of Dushore for plaintiff and R. <T. Thom son of Dushore and W. T. Davies and Henry Strceter both of To wauda, for defendant. The sub stance of the ease is : Mrs. Hartzig while leaving a switch depot near Lopez, fell from a car which she waH compelled to climb over and broke her arm, hence she seeks damages.

WASHINGTON, March 3.—A few days ago President Harrison re ceived his last month's pay in the shape of a draft for $-1,160.67 issued on a warraut to the Treasurer, signed, as usual, by the Secretary of the Treasury, and sent over to the White House by messenger. To-day lie received another draft for §416.65, issued by the Treasury Department in the same way, rep resenting his pay lor service as President of the, United States for the first three days of March and closing his account with the govern ment. According to the Treasury com putation the Presidential salary of §50,000 a year is at the rate of a day. Arliiieiul Maple Sugar. Decoctions or extracts of the wood or bark of trees are frequently used for flavoring syrups or sugars. Different extracts differ in taste. The hickory tree it is 6aid yields an extract that will impart the flavor of the maple, and Daily's method of producing artilicial maple syrup or sugar is as follows: Make an extract of hickory bark or wood by allowing water to percolate through the same. The bark or wood may be ground, or sawdust therefrom used. Hot water may bo used, or the material boiled in water. The strength of the extract may be in creased by increase of the quantity of the wood or bark. To one gallon ol hot or boiling su gar syrup add *av three tablespoon fuls of the hickory extract. Il is said the effect of the extract is to produce a flavor that 'renders the syrup indistinguishable from genuine maple sugar. 11' the syrup is boiled duvn, a sugar resembling maple sugar in taste is produced.—Scienti fic American.

The flames bad al ready made hiicli headway that, with the means on hand, it was impos sible to extinguish them. The house was totaly des troy, d. By the timely help of .-.line neighbors about one third of the furniture was saved. Mr. Perry and daughter were at home "when the fire was discovered. The rest of the family had gone to church. The origin of the lire is un known. The loss is estimated at S2OOO insured in the Hartford and Fircmens of Baltimore in the sum of slf>oo.

Ilosenweig lias not, it seems, yet abandoned all hope of escape from jail. The Tunkatmock correspondent of the Seranton 2'imes, writing on Monday, said : Sheriff Knapp has deprived prisoner Rosenweig of all reading matter save the Bible. He made examination of the sell the other day and found that Reseuweig had been digging out the piaster at the foot of bis bod and making a break for liberty. The walls are of solid masonry and it would require a force of masons with tools unmolested a full week to dig out there and even then they could not displaco the stone without blast ing. lie might as well take another tack. Rev. Mr. Burson was a caller at the jail on Sunday and tried to reconcile the doomed men to their late. He says that Blank seems to bo greatly worried in mind while Rosenweig still thinks there is hope ahead. President Harrison held his last public reception at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, March 2. It is estimated that 1500 people shook the hand of the retiring Chief Magistrate and half as many more failed to got into the East Room be fore he left it. This is an unusual number, and bespeaks the good will entertained for President Harrison, as ordinarily there arc not more than from 200 to 300 in attendance 1 on these occasions. REJECTED ADVISE. The CAixliirtor'H E(Tort§ Not nt Kauifbt by a Country iiirl. From tbo Indianapolis Journal. A conductor on one of the roads entering Indianapolis in giving his varied experience saiil : 41 1 remember one day that a large fine looking country girl got on my train at Pana, 111., ticketed to To ledo, Ohio. I noticed at once that she was unfamiliar with travel, and as our train arrived then in the old depot, which was a very lonely place at that hour of night, and she would have to wait until seven o'clock for the train East, 1 thought I would caution her before leaving Indianapolis to be careful about making new acquaintances. When we reached the city suburbs, in passing through the car taking up tickets I leaned over and in as gentle and courteous a manner ns I knew howl said to her: 'Lady, your train does not leave for Toledo un til seven o'clock ; it is now three o'clock. When the train stops in the depot goto the ladies' waiting room and remain in there. You will be perfectly safe there until your train is ready to leave. Don't listen to what any hack driver or hotel runner may say to you.' "She gave me a very sarcastic look and snapped out : •'My pap told me when 1 started not to talk to any man, and I don't like your looks a bit, anyway." OJIITIAKY. Hon. George Jarvis Eldred, who died at his home at Mackey ville on Wednesday of last week, was one of the representative men of Clinton county. lie was a younger* brother of JtiHge Charles D. Eldred, of Muncy, and was born at Eldredvillo, in what is now Sullivan county, Feb. Is, 1818. llis ancestors were English. He sett lt d in Clinton county in ISH9, soon after its organi zation, and became a farmer. Twice he represented his county in the legislature—first iu IS."),'}, and secondly iu lsfJ-SO. In poiitics he was a Democrat. Early in life he united with the Presbyterian church, and for forty years he was superin tendent of the Union Sabbath school near h>s home. Mr. Eldred was a great reader thinker. IHe was twice umrried and leaves a widow and several children, j The deceased was a man of many i amiable qualities, kind and arleetion ate, fair in all iii- dealings and one whose death will be sincerely I mourned by all who had the pleasure I of his acquaintance. The above obituary notice taken from the Muncy Jlunuiiari/, recalls ito memory the untiring labors of ! his father, Edward J. Eldred, who I for many years was the most efficient worker in promoting tho educational interests of the territory, comprising 1 the western part of our county lion. (Jeorge J. Eldred is remem bered by our oldest citizens. 11 is : oarlicst religious associations was with the .Baptists uniting with the Loyalsock church in 1839, and con tinuing his membership with that church until 1813, being associated in this connection with members of the Rogeus, Brown, Hill and Bed ford families. * * It is President Cleveland now and ex-President Harrison. The former took the oath of office at Washington at noon on Saturday and is to be the chief executive of the country for another four years. The country will not goto tho dogs on that ac count. Cleveland will not live up to the platform of the Democratic party adopted by the convention which nominated him. If he did the country would surely goto smash at a rapid rate. But Cleveland is not likely to prove so much of a tariff smasher as some of tho free traders would like, and his administration is apt to bo oue of considerable merit. No one doubts but that Cleveland means to do what is best for the country, and Aow that ho is again President of the whole people every one should try to help him as much as possible. Tht9 advice is hardly necessary, however, as ho will doubtless find plenty of people who want to take all of the offices and help him run the government with out advertising for proposals to till them. As we view the matter he should have all of the assistance he requires if he can get it from the Democrats; and Republican office holders should retire just as soon as their terras expire and make room for a portion of the Democrats who want their places. Cleveland has in a measure indicated that ho is not of the opinion that Democrats are good j enough for some of the offices, but this should not have any influence with Republicans who may be asked to continue iu the offices they now hold after their terms expire. They should be ready to step down and i out at tho end of the time for which they were commissioned and make room for the Democrats who are likely to be so anxiously waiting. Reports say that Southern vege tables will be very late. Eugene Tripp of LaPorte, has the contract of erecting the trcmliug for the W. &N. B. R. R., over Loyalsock at Ringville. Ilis brother, Henry Tripp of Shunlt, it is said, will assist him. Judge Gresham is the father of the new Cabinet iu the matter of years. He is in his sixty-second year. J. Sterling Morton is how ever, a close second, as he is just turned f>o. Hoke Smith, who is only 38, is the baby of the Cabinet. Carlisle is not far behind Gresham and Morton, while Lamont, Bissell, Herbert and Olney are all under 50. The average age of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet is considerably under that of the Harrison Cabinet. Compara tively speaking, Mr. Cleveland has selected a Cabinet of young men. Hoke Smith is probably the young est man to bold a Cabinet position since tho day of Alexander Hamil ton. The combined weight of the Cabinet, says a New York writer, is pounds, or an average Oi' 200 pounds each. Mr. Cleveland will bring the total up to over 1,800 pounds, 6o the new Administration will commence business with nearly a ton of material as a foundation. It may be difficult to dislodgo such heavy weights four years hence, but no doubt the Rcpublcan party will be equal to the task. .'UuiiMflehl State, Normal NcliooJ.
