Holland, wife of the proprietor of the Holland hotel, is very ill and her recover}' is scarcely expected. W. J. Lawrence, of Dushore, with a force of men is building a house nnd making some repairs for Geo. H. Welles, on his farm at this place. n. n. Coston, your Court sten ographer, enjoyed the hospitality of luine host Brown for a night, re cently, while on a fishing expedi tion. Our school opens September 4, with a corps of excellent teachers; probably no town of the size of Wy nlusing in the State, can boast of better schools. C. A. Stowell and family and Mrs. E. A. Strong and daughter, spent last week in your count}', visiting Lake Ganoga and other points of interest. They report a very pleas ant trip. Rev. A. L. Merslion, the Presby terian minister here, resigned his pastorate and will return to New Jersey about Sept. 1, where he has accepted a call from a larger congre gation. Summer boarders are numerous in Ihis vicinity. Our farmers who have sufficient accommodations have no difficulty in filling their houses. At the present time our city friends are domiciled on all sideß of us. H. F. Smith, of the firm of Smith ti Strong, recently returned from a trip to Kansas and the World's Pair. He reports the fair as some thing every one should see, nnd is very much improved in health as a result of his trip. Walter K. Green, a former resi dent of Sullivan county will be nominated to-day for County Com missioner by the Democrats of this county, and his acquaintances no matter what their political affiliations may be, are much pleased in con sequence, as it is universally con ceded that he will fill the position with credit to himself and to his constituents. Prel'mnary surveys are now being made, preparatory to supply ing our town with water, a company having recently been formed for that purpose. They have made applica tion for a charter and as soon as it shall be granted work will begin, and we are expecting to have an abundance of water before 1891 Jacob W. Stroud, who was engaged in the manufacture of lumber near Lopez for a number of years is a leading spirit in the enterprise. G.Z. 1 ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Satan would have togo out of business if he oould'ut use white wash. NEW AHRIVALS AT HIE MOUNTAIN HOUSE:—Mrs. E. B. Barrows, of Philadelphia; Mr. and Mrs. Jones and Master Persey Joues, of Wil mington, Del. Mrs. L. E. Vosburg of Black, Pa., and Miss Nellie Harris, of Towanda, are spending a few weeks with their relatives here, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Schrader. A suitable reward will be paid the person who composes a song to re lieve us of the stale Ta, ra, ra, boom, do, a)', and invents an expression in place of "all right, all right.'' Com petition open to the world. J. L. Smyth was elected tax col lector of Laporte boro. last Febru ary. Mr. Smyth has recently re moved to Buffalo, N. Y., hence, the court will be obliged to appoint another. The following young people of Laporte, will attend school at To wanda, this winter, viz: S. B. Karns, H. A. Karns, Miss Lottie Miller, Miss Clara Ballard and Miss Emma Tinklepaugh. The term commences on Monday Aug. 28th. An exchange says that if a cow gets chocked with an apple or pota to, holding up its head and break ing an egg tn its mouth is a sure cure. The same remedy is recom mended for horses under similar circumstances. It would not be surprising should the Democratic party find itself in the hands of a receiver before the close of the Fifty-third Congress. Every promisory note it Las out will before then be protested by the public bank. John Marston, of Laportc, Civil Engineer for the W. & N. B. It. R. Co., has rented Cameron Hoak's property on Main street in the sec ond ward, and will move into it on the first of April.—Hugliesville Mail. It looks very much like scare when Democratic Congressmen show a willingness to postpone tariff "reform" for from two to five years. It shows very plainly that they are afraid to execute the pledges of the Chicago platform, and is virtually a confession of the blunder. Wilkes-Barreaus are great people especially when under influence. One, who ran against a large stone took off his hat, apologized to it for his lack of sense, and to show his high regard for the inanimate thing lay down on it and went to sleep.— Pittston Gazette. A free bridge will be erected over the Susquehanna river at Milton, at the expense of Union and Northum berland counties. It is to cost $40,000 and the expense will be equally divided. This was decided by a decision of the Supreme court in over ruling Judge McClure of Union county. Forged checks are arriving at the Citizens National Bank of Towanda by the half dozens. The forger has used the name of D. J. Sweet, a lumberman of said place. The bank has refused to cash the checks, hence, the man who pays out the cash for them is the loser. Look a little out. Juniata county has a veteran mountaineer and snake slayer who says he has been bitten by rattlers and copperheads 94 times. The first half dozen times he nearly died, but now he says a rattlesnake bite is neither as painful nor causes him as much inconvenience as the sting of a wasp. He firmly believes that the thistle is a sure antidote for snake poison. A young farmer who lives near Bellefonte has hit upon a happy thought to reduce the amount of labor required to till his fields. In stead of laying out his fields square or nearly so he has laid them out narrow and they extend the entire length of his farm. By this means he avoids turning corners so many times, which is a loss of time. He can reap ten acres of grain by going up and down the field six times. People interested in agricul ture might try this with profit. Harrsiburgers and residents of other localities suffering from the lons-continued drought are hoping that the present favorable conditions will result in a good steady, soaking ruin. That such is badly needed, is evidenced on all sides. The Sus quehanna river has been falling at the rate of an inch every twenty four hours, until now it is down to 5£ inches above low water mark, or one half an inch below the lowest stage of the water last summer. All the little streams in the vicinity are fast drying up, and many wells have given out— fit. JERE. KELLY'S COLUMN. , Hardware, i 2 Is NEEDED every day of the year.

A correspondent writing from the World's Fuir, says : "What do the women talk most about at the Fair ? The pictures ? Dresses, embroidery, &c? No. About how tired they are, how utterly worn out they are, in boly and mind, how thoroughly ready to 'drop in their tracks,' how impossible it is tor them to take another step, how sore the bottoms of their feet are from con tact with the gravel and the planks. One woman heaved a sigh and ex claimed, as she threw herself on the grass near the Illinois building: 'I would'nt walk a block to see iii Hide of heaven." FORKS VILLE ITEMS.
