The holidays are coming on apace. Sleigh rides will soon be the order of the nights. We shall expect you to call and settle, next week. Are you advertising your holiday goods ? If not, why not ? E. V. Ingham of the 'Mere, who has been on the sick list, is improv ing. The sleighing was good the early part of the week and our people took advantage of it. BORN: TO Mr. and Mrs. Geo. of Laporte, on 1 hanks giving, a son. Our landlords are making prepar ations for court, which convenes on Monday next. A ton of gold bullion is wortli ti4o, 000 dollars. A ton of silver about 24,000 dollars. The crust over the snow is too hard for successful deer huutiug. So say the old hunters. Rockafellow, the thief banker of Wilkes Barre, has been found guilty. Sentence has been deferred. Those of our delinquent subscrib ers in attendance at court next week are requested to call and settle. The young people of town enjoyed a surprise party at the Mountain House, Thanksgiving evening. Thanksgiving was a beautiful day and the turkey shooting match at this place was largely attended. The people of Laporte and vicinity should not fail to hear Burwell at the M. E. church Friday evening. It is right.—Williauisport's Coun cil have passed an ordinance •pro hibiting the riding of bicycles on the pavements. Like our exchanges, we complain of news being scarce. Our Repub lican friends attribute the cause to slow Democratic times. The Montour American office and fixtures were sold at public sale last week to Messrs. John Bennett and Will C. Flick for $2,000. Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Earns, accom- j panied by Harry Karns, of Towanda, i enjoyed Thanksgiving with friends in Laporte. We recently purchased a can of 1 neW spape ' n k, which our readers will ' perceives not of the best quality. *' V.«s to have some better soon, j Our Sunday school voted to have a Christmas tree last Sunday. The event will take place in the M E. church on Saturday evening, Decem ber 23. The coal dealers are anxiously looking in both directions for their order of coal. The L. V. strikers has made things uncertain along the line of railroads. The President's message appeared in the London papers betore it was Bent to Congress. That is right. England comes first with this admin istration every time. The Knights of Labor have reach ed a point in their history as an organization when they need to re member that a house divided against itself cannot stand. We received a communication dated at Nordmont the latter part of last week which did not contain the signature of the writer, heuce it now reposea in the waste basket. e W. & M. B. people are grad switch at Hattertield and it is'nt e battle ground either. This ng will serve for the accommo n of passenger coaches. thur Miner who has been serv ;he W. &. N. B. railroad officials '.press agent at Laporte for the few weeks, will take charge of express otllce at Ringdale ou .y next. Mr. Miner's place >orte will be filled by W. B. , and old employe of the Read llrvad. The new depot at Nordmont was commenced on Tuesday. With the force of carpenters engaged at this work our Nordmont people can ex pect a good job. While gunning last Monday at the head of Beauty Run, Centre County, A. S. Keller shot a snow white deer. This is the first of the kind ever seen in this region. A water tank is being erected at Long Brook, along the Hue oi the W. & N. B. The boys say when completed, will be nioro convenient for the engineers to "take water." Oemocrallc Tim**. The people of Altoona have sub scribed $25,000 to give employment to idle heads of families on street improvements. Charity that talks. Sunday was a disagreeable day. It snowed six or eight inches Satur day night, and rained nearly all day Sunday, thus making it disagreeable both overhead and under foot. One of the most expensive things in life is carelessness. All kinds of property, machinery, clothing and even life can be made to double and trible periods of cxistanoe by proper care. Our people in general are pleased that the Lawrence Bros, were award ed the contract of building the court house, inasmuch as they were the only contractors of the county who presented a bid. Nearly all of the goods sold in Dusliore are shipped over the W. & N. B. It. R. via Laporte. This is in keeping with ouly a short time ago when oi* oeople had their goods shipped via Dusliore. S. B. Karns of Lapoito, who is attending school at Towanda, was taken ill with the mumps while home on his Thanksgiving vacation and at this date is unable to return. The Wanck audit, E. M. Dunham auditor, brought quite a delegation of people to town on Tuesday. Among the legal lights present from a dis tance, were: Attys. Collins and Scouten, of Dushore. The first Thanksgiving day was kept in 1621, after the first harvest of the Mayflower pilgrims. It was not until 1863 that it became a national holiday, annually reccom mended by the President. Governor McKinley condenced a whole volume of political economy into a short sentence when he said : "The more there is to do, the better wages will be paid ; the less there is ' to do, the less wages will be paid ! for what is done." j - j C. W. Champion, cf Dushore, has accepted the agency of Sclieufler and MuCarty, marble and granite dealers of Towanda. This firm is reliable, and orders given Mr. Cham pion will receive prompt attention. Court guests can obtain board at the Eagle Hotel, about one mile from town, ou the Sonestown road, Henry j Kohensparger proprietor, for (.GO) j sixty cents a day. The guests of the Eagle are well taken care of. Give Henry a call. If the mere threat of free trade j which has been hanging over the country for six months past has been able to work such havoc with our industries, what may we expect when : a complete revolution of the system has been brought about ? We mentioned in our columns J last week that R. W. Bennett of the ! 'Mere carried oil the honors for j killing the largest deer of the season in that vicinity. We were wrong. Aaron Foust shot the deer mention ed. Dick was one of the party, however. Even the best posted men can hardly keep pace with the progress j of electricity and electric railroad building. It appears from (he latest statements that there are now 350 distinct electric roads in thiseoMUtry and the number is growing more rapidly than ever. The gutter along Main street north of the court bouse square is tilled with water and is quite deep. Ice was formed on this pond Satur day and the little boya enjoyed a pleasant day. A number of them got the aeat of their pantieß wet, but they did'nt mind that. There are one dozen lawyera in the county, viz : A. J. Bradley, F. H. Ingham, H. T. Downs, E. M. Dun ham, T. J. Ingham and A. L. Grim, of Laporte, and JC J. Mullen, J. 11. Cronin, Is. S. Collins, K. E. Freden , burg, 11. J. Thompson and J. G.' Scouteu, of Duahore. They are a I brilliant qjartet and information detired is at hand. This account* for the fact that but few attoruiea of our neighboring counties are engag ed at the Sullivuu county bar. The contract for building a new bridge across the Susquehanna at Bloomsburg, was let on Saturday Nov. 25th to the King Bridge Co. for $69,256. The cost of this bridge is nearly three times as much as the cost of our new courthouse which was let on Saturday for $24,400. Rutter of the liughesville Mail sent out a half sheet last week, owing to his paper being tied up on the Lehigh Valley. Railroad strikes are very discouraging and cause harsh words to be said by people nil along the line. Rutter will no doubt issue a blue sheet on the arrival of the long lost bundle. JuHt Like w Han. Bobby—Pop, what is reason T Fond Parent—Reason, my boy, is thnt which enables a man to deter mine what is right. Bobby—And what is instinct? Fond Parent —Instinct is that which tells a womau she is right whether she is or not. According to"The Outlook," the gold question in this country is not in such a deplorable state as some would have us believe. During the | year we have exported §71,000,000 [of tho yellow metal and imported $02,000,000. As we coin $20,000,000 of gold per year it shows that we have more on hand now than a year ago. DENVER, Dec. 3.—The State Can j vassing Board has completed its work. The report shows that woman suffrage was carried by 6347 majority. Governor Waite, in accor dance vith the above, has issued a proclf .nation giving women the right to vote at all elections in that State. J. W. Ballard's new wagon shop is about completed. There were ten or a dozen men engaged on the building the latter part of last week. The building will be some smaller than the one burnt down, but will give ample room for his industry, lie anticipates building a paint shop of the same size in early spring. James Quinn, of Dushore, made us a call on Wednesday and related to us the many stories that are afloat of how his nephew, James Quinn got his back broken at Lopez some weeks ago, dying from the effects on Sunday Nov. 26. Jim says the atones are false in every particular. We shall not repeat the stories for many reasons. Christmas is a reminder of your best girl. In this neck o'woods a present valued anywhere from $5 to $lO. is considered very appropriate. Under these good Democratic times, however, if the is c ut down one ha 1' the young lady will ijot com plaiu and especially if she is a lip publican. The young ladies cousid er hard times as well as the boys. >lr. i'owderly after having teen elected to the ofjioe of General Mas ter Workman, liandod in hj9 resigna tion, which after debate was accept ed, and J. 11. Sovereign of lowa was elected to fill the vacant position.

Five thousand bees, not loaded with hone) - , weigh a pound. The loaded bee, when he comes in fresh from the fields and flowers weighted with sweetness and bee bread, he carries nearly twice his own weight. Eighteen hundred of the loaded will weigh a pound. An ordinary hive containing five pounds of bees or about twenty-five thousands individ uals. All believers in government of the people, by the people and for the people may well give thanks this year, says The Outlook ; for govern ment of the machine, by the machine fjnd for the machine has received this fall tho severest blow it has re ceived in any election since the in troduction iuto American politics the doctrine "to the victors belong the spoils. Counterfeit Kali road Ticket*. The Erie was one of the principal sufferers from the gigantic swindle of counterfeit tickets lately perpe trated in Chicago. General passen ger Agent Roberts is investigating the matter and expects convicting evidence soon brought against cer tain parties. The combined looses of the various roads and ticket bro kers is now estimated at 1300,000. David H. Burwoll will give a tem perance address in the M. E. church at Laporte, Friday evening Dec. 8, under the auspices of the W. C, T. U. Mr. Burwell has the reputation of being a very entertaining speaker, alao a tine singer, lie will favor the audience with several solos during the evening. All are cordially invit ed and those who attend will feel will repaid for coming. A collection i will be taken. The latest news from Washington seems to intimate that the Ways and Means Committee has decided to reduce the duty on Sumatran and other foreign cigar wrappers either fifty cents or one dollar per pound, which would make the new rate either SI or §1.50 per pound. Of course, it is one thing to propose this new rate and another to carry it through. .On Tuesday au Equity suit from Sullivan county involving the title to valuable coal lands thefc was ar gued here before C. O. Dorsheinier, Esq., Master and Examiner. Among those from out of town were Geo. E. Elwell, Esq., one of the editors of the Blootnshurg Columbian, Blooms burg; Col, Edward Overton, D. C. DeWitt, Esq.. and M. C. Mercur, of Towanda, and ltush J. Thomson, Esq., of Dushore.— Wyoming Devi. The contract for the building of the new courthouse was awarded to the Lawrence Bros., of Dushore, on Saturday last, for $24,400. The building is to be constructed entirely of red pressed brick. This of course does not have reference to the foun dation which will be laid of out native stone. The Contractors have one year to complete the structure. The Lawrence Bros, are known to be first class builders and our people can hope for a building equal to the specifications under their supervis ion. Forty railway trains going to and from London are provided through and through with clectrio lights. American trains ought to be, all of them. The railway mail superin tendent recommends that the use of oil lamps in mail cars be stopped, both because of the danger and be cause of the soiling of mail matter from the dripping and spilling of the oil. Electrio lighting on the cars of all the mail trains would doubtless be an expense, but it would be an expense that both tb« government and railway companies could veil afford. In Behalf at SIWIBI Miner*. CLEVELAND, 0., Dec. 3 —General Russell A. Algar, of Detroit, has been in Cleveland several days in consultation, it is said, with some of the heaviest stockholders in the Michigan iron mines. He is trying to induce them to resume operations so that the starving miners may find employment, General Alger says that if the men can be given work only part of the time, the State of Michigan will appropriate money to help thorn through the Winter. He lm met wiilj some encouragement h,'u. Tb so are Democratic! times for you.

Vincent and Nathan Taylor were driving up Oak street Saturday evening a valise containing some very valuable papers, was dropped from the carriage. When they stopped at the Commercial hotel they discovered th« loss. Local police were sent in every diregtion but without suocess. A little lad had found the valise and took it home. Later he heard of the search for tlip missing valuables and went home, restored the valise td its owners and received five dollars as a reward for his honesty. The valise nontaiqed bonds and otb«r valuable papers, the property of the Penn Anthracite Mining Company Ml, Cartnel Item. A dispatob to the World from Scran ton has the following interest ing story of the importanoa of a single vote and the deoisive effect of drawing outs : "A peculiar election contest is to be commenoed in Wayns county. The officials returns show< ed that Keeno (Rep.) was elected County Commissioner over Mande ville (Dero.) by a plurality of one vote. The Democrats alleged that in the Northern Election District, when the ballots were counted, tt was found that there was one more ballot in the box than there were voter*. The Election Hoard drew lots to ascertain whether to cast out a Republican or a Democratic vole. The lot fell to the Democratic vote. | They claim the autiou of the board 1 was illegal." Miss Mamie Woodruf, of William •port, is enjoying a visit at Sheriff Mahaffey's, with her friend Miss Ola, of this place. The officials of the W. & N. B. are placing a "Y" at the upper end of Lake Mokoma. A large force of man are now grading for the same. The officials arc making preparations for large excursions to Mokoma next Summer. Mr. MoCormick antic ipates that Laporte will bo one of the best paying stations along the line, during the Summer months. On Wednesday evening Nov. 29, Bessie Cheney was surprised by a number of her young friends who met at her home, it being her thir teenth birthday. The following were present: Jennie Clayton, Eathel Vanßuskirk, Mazie Dan ley, Ada Chase, Bemace Burkholder, liizzie Smith, Ella Lisson and Onry Brink. Among the presents she re ceived was a silk dress, one large vase, a silver dollar, two handker chies, one book and several other presents. Many pleasant games were played during the evening when all returned home feeling that they had, had a very pleasant time. DAISY. Eagles Mere, Dec. 1, '93. Chas. Lauer, of Laporte, who has been on a hunting expedition in Vir tiinia, for the past four weeks, re» turned home on Tuesday. Charley reports game plenty down there and is anxious to get up a party of ten or a dozen of this place togo down in February, when the old set' tiers say, the streams arc black with wild duok. lJit ol (imiml Jurors Drawn lor nee.
