THE REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY, MAY, 5, 1883- Sunday was a beautiful clay. Improvements are now in order. It has the appearance of Spring. Memorial Day comes on Tuesday. The oyster season closed on Sun day. The World's Fair opened on Mon day. The duck season closed on the first of May. Our landlords anticipate a gocd City trade this summer. We arc anxious for a correspond ent from each township. There was considerable politics talked in town Tuesday. Wild geese were seen on Lake Mokoma, one day last week. Dr. Hill is having his Lake Moko ma lot cleared of rocks and such. Conductor Knipe of the W. & N. B. R. R., was on the sick list last week. The prospect for a good peach crop in Delaware is said to be good. One hundred and fifty thousand people attended the World's Fair on Monday. We have been farming this week ; hence have given our paper but little The party at Gallagher's on Thurs day evening oi last week, was a j;rand success. Mr Stormoni's lot on South Muncy street, presents a very credit able appearance. The REPUBLICAN will be found on fule at the Pennsylvania State build ing, World's Fair. Miss Carrie Colt of Wysox, is visiting her sister, Mrs. E. V. Ing ham at the 'Mere. Miss Dora Hannon of Forksville, was calling on friends at Laportc, Sunday and Monday. April has beeu a cold and wet month and work on the farm, in con sequence, is backward. We are doing lots of job work these days. For first class work ad dress the REPUBLICAN. Mr. and Mrs. George Mead of jßurnwood, Susquehanna county, are •visiting friends at Laportc and vi cinity.. The weather on Tuesday, conven- Jtlon day, was pleasant and a large attendance of school directors were present. Work on the trcstling along the railroad is progressing. The only .draw back, we understand, is the masonry. Paddy Quinn of Laporte, was called to Shenandoah, the latter part of last week, to attend the funeral of his cousin. Several very large trout were caught in Lake Mokoma last week. The largest we understand measured a trifle over 1G inches in length. The Y. W. C. T. U. of Laporte, <wifl meet at tbe home of Miss Fanny Meylert, Friday evening May sth. LOTTIE MILLER, Sec'y. The Lake Mokoma Land Company are having the grounds at the head of tbe lake cleared of debris. B. A. Conklin is superintending the work. Governor Pattison has vetoed a bill paying school directors for at tending triennial conventions for the election of school superintend ents. The county commissioners . will Suspect the Lopez bridge, to-day "Thursday; that is, providing the weather is favorable, and consider the.-advisability of erecting a new iron bridge at that point. A new correspondence from Muncy Valley this week. Come again, in fact we would be pleased to have you give us the news from that vicinity weekly. The Columbia county court is in session (his week, when Mrs. Rotis, formerly of this county and who wat arrested for adultry, will get her jast dues. LOST:—A red cow with dark head, ihe hair on end of tail has been torn off. The finder will be liberally re warded by returning the same to, F. L. SHAFPER, Laporte, Pa. The seventy-four anniversary of Odd Fellowship, was celebrated at Muncy, on Wednesday of last week. Che attendance was very large and a pleasant day enjoyed by all pres ent. Eighty-seven licensed saloons will 'be opened on the World's Fair grounds in spite of the fact that these grounds are within territory where liquor selling is prohibited by \w. llosonwig and Blank, who are to bo executed in the jail yard, at Tunkhannock, on the 18th day of this month, still persist in charging the crime of murder npon each other. A. A. Baker of Laporte township caught the trout for the Hotel Ken nedy trout supper, on Monday even ing. Mr. Baker is considered the most successful fisherman in this section. Mr. A. J. Bradley of Sonostown and Miss Laura Lawrence of Du shore, were married on Thursday of last week. Jack has leased rooms a' Laporte and will keep house here for the present. The REPUBLICAN extends congratulations and wish the newly married couple lots of happiness and prosperity. The LaPorte correspondent. "Rover" to the Dushore Review had this to say, last week. "A little piece which we noticed in the SULLIVAN REPUBLICAN last week did not strike us very favorably. It talked about only "dead heads" that took the Review in this town." In answer to this we will only quote the old, old adage. "A guilty con scious needs no accuser." The executive committee of the Sullivan county agricultural society voted that the printing of the so ciety be let to the lowest bidder. This will give all three papers a voice and is the proper way of dis posing of this matter. One of the officials of the society remarked to us Tuesday that Mr. Newell had failed to make this known through his paper. Judges Magee and Porter, of Pittsburg, have made a ruling and set a precedent at a recent sitting of the license court that will deprive many a toper of an excuse for in dulging in a "smile." The judges averred that free lunches are illegal in the saloons and licenses would be refused where persons persist in set ting out free lunches. Most of the local weather prophets have gone wrong on this remarkable spring and even the ladies who got their spring suits early are disap pointed. It was supposed that after such a severe winter the mild, warm weather would come early and yet here it is the first of May, and March winds and storms howling and hardly a sign of vegetation and everything behind. C. Peale, Jr., of the 'Mere, met with an accident, while returning home from a business trip to the county seat, on Saturday. Christo pher drives a spirted horse and while going down the hill near the borough line the king bolt of his buggy broke causing the animal to run away. Mr. Peale and a friend who accompanied him were thrown out of the vehicle, but were not seriously hurt. The buggy and harness were damaged considerably. Wm. McCartney of Lopez, who contemplated coming to Laporte and erect a stick factory, has given up the idea and will remain at Lopez. This turn of mind of Mr. McCartney is owing to the fact that he could not learn whether or not he could secure the desired amount of timber of the several owners of land in this immediate vicinity. The people of Laporte feel very much disappointed over the matter; however they extend to Mr. Mc- Cartney their best wishes. Shortly after 1 o'clock Friday morning burgfars effected an en trance into the Towanda postofilce. through the rear door, and at once tackled the Marvin safe. By means of a heavy blacksmith hammer, the handle was knocked off the safe, a charge of powder or similar sub* stance putin the door, and exploded. The report which followed was a loud one, blowing the door of the safe in pieces, and frightening the would be robbers so much that they haistly departed, neglecting to rifle the change drawer or stamp closets, or take anything of value from the premises. The time is coming in the near future when farming will be one con tinual round of pleasure, if we are to believe some of those of an in ventive turn of mind. An inventive genius ban devised an electrical weed exterminator. It is simply driven along and as it passes it sends an electric current into the weeds which knocks them out in the first round. When to this is added an electric stone picker, an electric potato dropper, an electric milker, an electric pig paralyzer, an electric potato-bug killer and a few things more of the same sort, farming should indeed be a plaaure, but if we were engaged in that vocation we would not be in much of a hurry to invest in those new fangled elec trical device!. ooi'STV SUPERINTENDENT or HCHOOM, 18M>1SM. Pro I. r. W. Kle/lert Elected M the First Ballot. On Tuesday May 2nd tbe school directors of Sullivan county met in Convention at the Court House in La Porte borough, and were called to order by Superintendent M. R. Black who announced the business by law, to be the election of one person to serve for three years as County Superintendent of public schools. Tbe day was pleasant and sixty two of the seventy directors were present, each district being repre sented. Hon. T. J. Ingham waa elected chairman of the convention and on taking the chair mada some very appropriate remarks. E. A. Strong of Dushore and J. W. Rogers of Forksville, were elected secretaries. They called for the names of the di rectors and enrolled them as follows: COLLEY TOWNSHIP. C. F. Hun Singer. Wm. Allen. Oscar Barnes. B. W. Jennings. CHERRY. Michael McDonald. R. Litzelman. Tlios.

Supt., was declared to be first in order. Hon. B. S. Collins moved that the salary remain as of the past, SI,OOO a year. This motion wa9 put and was carried unanimously. This finished, nominations were de clared to be in order. A. A. Collins of Forksville nomin ated Prof. F. W. Meylert of Forks ville and Hon. B. S. Collins of Du shore, nominated Prof. AT. C. Miller of Dushore. The chairman then read the school laws relating to the necessary qualifications of the Coun ty Superintendent and in compli. ance with said act requested that the nominees present to the con vention proof of thoir competency. Prof. Miller presented a perman* ent certificate issued by State Superintendent, Dr. Waller, which was read in convention and accepted. Prof. Meylert presented a diploma issued by the State Normal School of Mansfield, Pa., which was also ac cepted by the convention. Balloting was then decided in order and the secretaries called the roll of direotors with the following result: F. W. Meylert had 49 votes. M. C. Miller had 13 votes. The secretaries announced the re sult to the chairman who declared that Mr. Meylert having received a majority of the votes was duly elect* ed. This completed the business of the convention when Profs. Meylert and Miller were called upon to ad dress the gathering. Both com plied with the request with seat little speeches. On motion adjourned. Is cholera to be robbed of its ter ror as smallpox has been ? Dr. Daffkine, the eminent scientist of Qermany, who has been attacking the dread scourge in its native home, India, claims to have con quered it io JOO test cases, Take a look at Harrington's new ad, elsewhere. A dozen or more REPUBLICANS, of this issue, have been ordered by parties from a distance. We guess they are anxious to hear the result of Tuesday's convention. The news has already gone out to Pennsylvania that i*r. Nathan C. Schaeffer has been appointed State Superintendent of the Public In struction by Governor Pattison, to succeed Dr. Waller, Jr., whose term of office expired April Ist. The Pennsylvania School Journal for May Bays it is an admirable appoint ment. The common voice of the educators of the state called for it, and in approving that call the Gover nor has done well for the cause of general education. He has at the same time stirred a feeling of person al gratitude on the part of many of our best and most intelligent citi zens who are assured from personal acquaintance with and personal knowledge of the man about to put his hand upon the work, that he is worthy to follow in the line of our best and strongest Superintendents. Pennsylvania has a population of over five million, an area of 45,015 | square miles and an estimated weatlh of five billion dollars. Heretofore only $6,000 have been appropriated to the use of the State Board of Health, but this year an attempt is being made to iucrease the appropri ation to SIOO,OOO. In view of the fact that cholera is again raging in Europe and will reach its deadly clutch to our shores, this amount is none too liberal to protect the health of this commonwealth. There is not a village in the state that has not more or less disease generating filth lying around in cellars, alleys, back streets defective drains and impurities in water. Our state board should be more thoroughly organised, having a representative in every town in the state, and this officer should have power to enforce sanitary conditions where they are not properly carried out. Such an officer couTd find much to demand his attention in this vicinity now. People should be more careful this spring than ever with regard to cleaning cellars, wells and springs, and see that cess-pools have safe and thorough drainage. One can not be too careful in such matters at any time, but when an epidemic threatens us, the duty is imperative. And whatever our law-makers do to promote health should bo heartily endorsed by all the people. HARRY CASSELL. WATCII MAKER AND JEWELER. LAPORTE, - - PA. Office in Moylert's Store Room. May 1-93.
