A number of our older ladies are laying in their winter supply of herbs. The work of tearing down the old courthouse was completed on Thurs day last. Two months and the big Colum bian postage stamp will pass into history. The wind storm of Friday night did considerable damage in this vicinity. Mrs. E. V. Ingham of the 'Mere, is speuding several weeks with friends in Laporte. Everybody predicted that after the storm it would be cold. Ihey ■were mistaken, however.

James Walsh of Laporte, is having his residence shingled. William Walsh is doing the work. The roof of the burn of Luther Martin of Davidson township, was blown off during the gale on Friday night.

The late-it reports from Chicago are to the etlect that the fair will not close on the 31st of October, but will lie kept open as long as the weather is favorable. The present board ol county commissioners will take the liberty of contracting the building of the new courthouse, notwithstanding the remarks of Mr. Ntieby, We forgot to mention in our last week's issue the party given al Fairview Cottage on Saturday eveu tug Oct, 1 lli.

Laporte, Sullivan county, is the highest county seat in Pennsylvania,] being about 4,200 feet above the sea. And yet they have a railroad to that place.— Wy tuning Democrat. Too high liro. Day. We are a| few feet less than 2000 feet above sea level. We are withheld from making any reply to the article in the Dushore Gazette last week in reference to the tearing down of the old courthouse and purported to have been the say ings of Com. Scanlin, by the request of County Commissioner S. K. Mc- Bridc. The Commissioners will advertise the letting of the construction of the new courthouse in about two weeks. Mr. Wagner hopes to have the plans and specifications ready by this time. They will be on exhibi tion in the Commissioners office in Laporte. Chauncey M. Depewsays : When I say that every enterprise, every business and I might add every in stitution must be advertised in order to be a success I only voice the general opiuion of those who are more capable of judgment. To talk in any other way would be madnoss. Where will our election be held this November ? Our election house, the courthouse, bus been de molished. Some of our energetic people should ask the court to designate the old school house in its stead. This is the most suitable room in our town at present. l>ublic Kale! The County Commissioners will sell at Public Sale the joists, ceiling, stoves, windows, doors and various sizes of timber taken from tho old Com t House building, on , Friday Oct. 20th, 18!)3. Sale will com mencc at 1 o'clock p. m. Coi nit Commissionkiis. Business men should remember that by a new ruling unless enve lopes state the number of days the letter is to be held, the postmaster will hold them thirty days instead often. This is important to busi ness men who do not want their letters detained over five or ten days. The last piece of timber in the old courthouse was removed on Thursday last. We were just 15 days doing the job and at a total cost to the county of $308.05. The Tripp boys offered to rid tho old structure lor $500.00. Hence a saving to the county of £ .'31.35.

The com missioners will travel on foot the whole length of the line between the Delaware river and Lake Eric, and examine every monument. Tho County Commissioners are already receiving notice of parties having money to loan. For in formation we would state that the Commissioners hope to dispose of bonds on the county for Ihe erection of the courthouse at i per cent in terest. Bonds will be issued of f>lOJ. up to SSOO. and our Sullivan count} - people will have the prefer ence of purchasing, providing they will accept of this rate of interest. Will Lawrence of Dushore, was doing business in Laporte Friday. The Lawrence Bros, of which Will is the senior member, who recently contracted with the county com missioners of Bradford county to erect the Troy courthouse, com menced the excavation for the foundation on Tuesday. The boys expect to bid on the construction of the Sullivan county courthouse. We wish tho boys success, as we Ve lieve they will do a creditable job to both the county and themselves Architects, Q. A. Ingham of El uiira, Culver & Hudson ol Williams port and Wagner Reitmeyer of Williamsport, were at Laporte on Friday last with plans for the new courthouse. The drawings of Messrs. Wagner & Reitmeyer were accepted by the commissioners and as soon as the specifications can bo made ou the construction of the building will be advertised for let ting to the lowest and best bidder, j Mr. Wagner estimated the cost of the building at twenty-three thou sand dollars.

Persons about to marry will make note of the fact that the amendment to the marriage license, past at the last sessiou of the Legislature went into effect last Monday. Formerly a marriage license was void if pre seated to a minister or magistrate in a county other than the one in which the license was issued. Now, if either of the parties secures a license in any count}', it can be used in any other Pennsylvania count}. This was to remove an inconvenience which was developed by the old law. For many years county officials in this State were required to make quarterly reports of all moneys col lected by them to the Auditor Gen eral. In recent years many default ed and the State lust large sums oj money. To remedy this the last Legislature passed an act requiring all such officials to make monthly, instead of quarterly reports. The llarrisburg Patriot, in alluding to the subject, remarks : "Of the 250 county officers whose monthly re ports to tho Auditor General's de partment were due on September 14, all have reported save eighteen. Compared with former months, this is an exceedingly good showing, but Oenerul Gregg is determined to secure them all. Some lew officers have legitimate excuses for a brief delay. In four eases notice lias been served that prosecution is com menced and that the lull penalty for delinquency will be demanded. If tho other fourteen officials do not come to time they uUo will be simil arly served."
