Win. Hull Esq., superintendent of the llillsgrove tannery, was doing business in town, Tuesday. We placed four new subscriber® on our subscription book on the new year. This is a good start. On Friday night several car loads of extra fine horses passed through Laporte over the W. & -N. I>. K. 1> - Prendergast's trial stretched out :to a wearisome length. It is to be hoped that the rope will not do so. If we do not have good sleighing j weather before long wo shall be i philosophical and purchase a bicycle, j The County Commissioners ap pointed L. I>. Speaker ot Hillsgrove twp., as Mercantile Appraiser, on Saturday. Eugene Pcndergraat tiie murderer of Mayor Harrison of Chicago, was last week, convicted of murder in the first degree. Corbett and Mitchell's idea of a Happy New Year is limited by the hope of a permit to punch each -other's head. In extending a welcome to 1804 'the hope is universal that the year will not prove as disastrous as its predecessor. .Sing the doxology for 181)3!

P.. of Muncy Valley, Harry Fliek and Sarah J. Keller, both of Davidson township. The ' Y" which is being construct ed at the head of Lake Mokoma, is about completed. The men engaged "le work expect to lay down the >.nd the hoc by the middle of week. e shall not attempt to give the sof the sick in town. It will I to flay, that, with few excep here is a victim of tlio grip in every house in our little t. Our nimrods have'nt enjoyed ex tra good success this year. Wi 1 d game have escaped unharmed by our people, but the turkeys were made to sufltr on shooting match ! day«. Mr. Cleveland declares that evt n if the Wilson bill should reduce the wages of workiugmcn it should al least give them "steady employ ment." Right—"steady employ ment," in searching for work. Ash Wednesday in 1894 comes on the 7th of February, and this brings ns Easter Sunday just exactly three months from Christmas day, March 25th. This is earlier than the fes tival has occurred in many years. We addressed bills to a large nr.m ber of our delinquent subscribers on the first of the new year. Picase give the matter a thought if you don't put your hand in your pocket. Of course we appeal to the purse. The July Commissioners, Geo. W. Simmons and C- Casern an with ! Sheriff Mahaffcy, filled the .Tun wheel on .Monday, and on Tjesday drawed the Jury for February term of court. We give the list elsewhere. Work has been begun on the new round-house for the \\. & N. B. Co., jat Satteriield, and will be rushed I along until completed. Air. Eugene Tripp, overseer of the trestles along the road will superintend the construction. Hon. C. R. Buckalen of Blooms burg, wants togo back to Congress. Huckalcw has been in publ.c life since President Buchanan sent hiiu to South America as a minister and he don't want to give it up at this Stage either. The Democratic standing com mittee held forte in Laporte on Monday Jan. Ist. There were but few of the members present. The gathering took place in the Lspcrtc llotcl parlors. As far as \ve know everything was harmony. The coal trade over the W. &X. 13. is increasing and in a few days the moving of trains of coal will compare favorably with the times just before the L. V. strike. At that time business was booming along the line of railroad. When the snow lhike doeth ap pear, our young people take their brooms down to Lake Mokoma and ' the skating gors on just the same. It takes more than a few inches of I the beautiful snow to interfere with the pleasure of our "Young America' - j on Lake Mokoma. The New Year Ball at Hotel T\en- i nedy was a pleasant affair and oc-j casioned many strangers in town j Jamison City turned out well, and J a goodly number from Sonestown j appeared. The illness of Russel j Karns deferred the ball being held j at the Laporte Hotel as first adver tised. Tiie new depot at Nordmont is completed and the people in that vicinity are proud of their new station, and well they may be. Here tofore an old worn out car has serv i cd the purpose. It appeared very odd and forlorn and the people ol Nordmont knew it. Judge Sittser paid his compli ments by letter to the 11 PVJIILTCAX i last week. It contained one dollar and read as follows : BCUANTON, PA., Dec.'26, 1894- Editor of tlie HKI'UBI.ICA.N, I)KAH SM : Put me down as a subscriber to your paper. Yours Respectfully, John A. Sittser. Tunkliaanock, Pa. Several families of Western Sull ivan are being terrorized over by | a roving lunatic in the person of j Harvey McKay, a young man of' about 20 years of age. McHay is a resident of Fox twp , and for some years past lias been a little unbalanc ed, but of late Jus gone completely insane. The officials of that twp. | tried to have him placed in the Dan-j vilie Asylum but was refused owing j to its fullness. Tlie;/ are making efforts to have him cared for else where, and should no better place be found he will be brought to Laporle and occupy a cage under Sheriff Mahatfev's jurisdiction. Begin tin- New Year right by pay ing your little debts—-tin; small meat bills, and grocery bills, nnd milk bills, and shoe bills and printers' bills. It is the payment of these little accounts that infuses lifo into business, helps every industry, and by putting money into active circu lation—for payment of these small accounts makes money pass swifter from hand to hand until it often gets back to the original paymaster—oils all the machinery that helps forward our prosperity. Pay your little debts, and in a little while ynn will see money p'enty enough to enable you to pay jour bg cues. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Cheney took the noon train on Tuesday en-route for HurrUburg. Tbe Editor goes as a delegate to the Republican con vention, which convened at said place on Wednesday. Thomas W. Bailey of Philadelphia and uncle to Mrs. E. P. Jnghair., died at his late residence in Phila delphia, on Friday Dec. 29th, of pneumonia. Funeral services were held on Monday. It.was a green Christmas and judging from the numerous sickness here and hereabouts it will be a fat grave yard. Accept of our advise and take extra good care of yourself during this changeable weather. The officials of the W. & N. 13. IJ. R. anticipate making a flag station at the Laporte tannery. The build ing recently used for Catholic servi ces will serve as a depot. This will make it convenient for the people of that vicinity. J- S. Harrington the boot and shoe man of Dushore, lias a new ad in the REPUBLICAN this week. Mr. Harrington makes a specialty of keeping in stock a first class assort ment of goods which he offers at bottom prices. His customers are numerous. The Pennsylvania railroad wants to get into Rloomsburg, and to aid in this end it is probable that the new bridge across the north branch of the Susquehanna at that place will be built as a combination wagon and railroad bridge, in order to allow the extension of a branch into town. The newly elected County Com inissioners met at their office on Monday and made the following appointments: For Counsel, Hon. B. 8. Collins of Dushore ; for Clerk. John E. Gallagher of Laporte ; for Jail Physician, Dr. W. B. 11 ill of Laporte and for Janitor, Stewart Chase of Laporte. A boy about sixteen years of age was brought to the Danville Asylum from Wilkes Barre, last week, suffer ing from insanity induced by smok ing cigarettes. Our cigarette law hould be amended prohibiting the sale of these villainous things to all persons under sixty instead of six teen years of age. Jerome Harrington aged 17 years and a son of C. J. Harrington of Cherry township, aceidently shot himself in the shoulder while out gunning, the early part of this week, lie was standing on a log leaning on his gun when it slipped off and the gun discharged with the above re sult. The charge took effect in the arm pit and passed out his shoulder, making a hole in his flesh as large as a hen's egg Drs. Waddell and Herrmann were both called and ad-j ministered to the wants of the un- ' fortunate young man. The phy-' sicinns say, with proper euro, he will j recover. Congressman John 13. Robinsons' Media ' Ledger" has been polling the counties, through tiie Republi can country editors, a3 to their pre fererenucs for Governor. General Hastings is the first choice in Arm strong, Bedford, Berk®, lilair, Bucks, Bradford, Columbia, Clinton. Clarion, Clearfield, Fulton, Hunt ingdon, Monroe, Mitfiin. Montgom ery, Montour, Perry, Sullivan, Schuylkill, Susquehanna and York counties. Charles W. Stone is the first choice in Elk, Erie, Forest, Jefferson, McKear, Northumberland Tioga, Venango and Warren. Stone is usually the second choice of the [fastings editors. Editor Griest writes that Lancaster county is not much interested in tlio subject nt present, and Editor Pomcroy savs that Franklin county in divided lie. tween Stone and Hastings. Editor MeQuown writes that Clearfield's first choice is for Hastings. Another Republican editor says his personal preference 1s for Stone. Editor Gould, of the Cameron county Press says that either Stone or Hastings would poll a big vote In that county. The returns are not all in vet, hut so far General Hastings is in the lead among the Republican editors of the State. .(11st llomc from I lie War. Charles Patterson, of Allegheny ' city, has just got back from the war. Before he started in 18(5-1- he j had married a comely girl at Mead— i ville. nnd tht? two lived with the young man's widowed mother and j her other two sons. Charles did not come back nnd the deserted | young wife, wearied after many ; years in her fruitless search for hiin. AM this time Thomas Patterson a brother of Charles, was wooing the ; wife, but site remained faithful to her marriage vows until t«*o years ago. She then wedded Thomas. On Thanksgiving day the lost hus band came l>ae'c. He found his wife's home, and the feast of the day was interrupted by hi« visit. Then jhe went awav, saying he would not reclaim his wife. A IJAI'i'Y SEW YEAR. For the past twelve yoars it has j been the privilege ot the Editor of i the REPUBLICAN to send thecustorn ' ary New Year greetings to his large j family of readers. Year after year I ihiit family has grown larger despite the painful fact that during the in tervening periods many have been j called away by death. Those who i were young when our first greetings were offered, are now men and women, some of them having chil dren of their own. Twelve years is a long lime to look backward, as we can, to the beginning of what we have tried to make an honorable journalistic eavrer. It is a long time to have ministered in a conservative, unostentatious manner, to the wants of a reading public. And need we say that a retrospective view briugs back to memory a great aggregation of blessing and painful recollection, one mingled with the other in almost inseperable amalgamation. We have chronicled happy events of almost, every possible description; have re joiced with those who have had oc casion for rejoicing; have congratu lated those who have been proper subjects for congratulation. The happy bride and groom have started out in life with kind words and sin cere congratulations from us. Hun dreds of families have been gratified with friendly mention in our columns. Social events without number have been carefully reported at consider able trouble, and cost to the publish er, whose oiilv reward has been the one dollar for fifty-two copies of his paper, aiul the consciousness that be has done his duty to the family interested. Iu many instances the dollar received for a year's subscrip tion to the paper, has been doubly expended in a single i>sue to gratify that particular subscriber, who has : not even said thank you in return. It has also been our painful duty to chronicle the death of many of out ; people. Old and young, rich and i poor, have in turn been sum-.noued |lo the unknown world, and our ! columns have paid tributes of respect to their memory. Lengthy obituary notices have frequently been publish ed of men whose names never appear ed upon our subscription books. Wo do not complain of this, however, it is only light. Were we to live alone for the almighty dollar what a world of shame this would be. To ! 'C happy we would urge our readers to drop painful thoughts and only keep in mind those things which may tend to make us all realize more fully how much v,o still have to he thankful for and how greatly we i o'ight to appreciate the blessings' that are vouchsafed to us in OUQ ' form or another. This is the beginning of the "Happy Xew Year," and again the Rici'i ltLicA N tenders its best wishes to our family of readers—that they may enjoy a happy, a prosperous and a pleasant new 3"ear from tho begin ning to the end. The newly elected officers took their respective stations on Monday the beginning of the new year. Mr. Smith of Forksville, the newly olect ed County Treasurer, will appoint a deputy to look after a good part of his business, hence, will not locate at the county seat. At busy times of the year, in his office, he will do as former treasurers from a distance have done heretofore, come over for a few days and superintend the work and return to his home. This will only occur during Court weeks and at land sales. The REPUBLICAN repeats what it has already said— that in our opinion Mr. Smith will make a competent and a pleasant officer to do business with. The County Commissioners elect, :irc courteous anil a pleasant lot of gentlemen to meet. Competent and old tax payers that they are, we be speak that they will enter upon their duties in the right direction, free from fear or fay or. The Auditors elect are young men and have the reputation of being good aecountists. They will no doubt do their work well. The out going County Treasurer, Win. Murray retires from office with a good record and hosts of new friends. The County Commissioners retire feeling that they have done their duly. The retiring board of Auditors arc complimented in the highest, and go out with the best wishes of all. This is truly a democratic admin istration from the beginning to the end. Notice the difference of two years ago. Our people aro com pl lining that there is no work. Two years ago there was'nt men enough to do the work. Those who read and apprehend the difference will vote for Governor McKiulcy for President in 1896. Grover has out done his luoiullness. The Christmas tree held in the M. E. church at this place on Satur day evening Dec. 23d, was a pleasant affair and did the children justice. Mr. It. A. Conklin superintended the arranging of the tree and also the constructing of the old mill which turned out the presents. Appropri ate recitations were recited bj' thi juvenile Sunday school class explain ing the meaning of the old mill. With this done, the large wheel commenced to revolve and down through the shoot came presents by the arms full. All of the Sunday school children were remembered •and many others. At the close of the exercises all retired to their homes feeling that they were amply rewarded for their time and trouble in arranging the program, by the pleasant evening enjoyed by the little ones. Col. L. I l '. Copeland of Harrisbtirg the world renown orator, arrived at Laporte 011 Saturday noon en-route for Forksvillo where he was billed to lecture on Saturday evening. The Colonel was evidently disap pointed in the distance between La porte and Forksville and during the snow squall shortly after he arrived, thought seriously of giving up the trip. Willi dinner ale and the snow storm over the Col. looked cheered and inquired for a liveryman. The liveryman was brought and a bargan struck for transportating him to Forksville and from Forksville either to Towanda or Muncy after the lec ture was over. Mr. Copeland was billed to lecture in Chicago 011 Tues day night Jan. 2, and in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Thursday evening Jan. 4, hence his great haste to reach a railrood stat ion 011 Sunday morning. The Col. lectured in Towanda re cently and this is what the Towanda Jievicin says of his remarks : "The address of Col. L. P. Copeland was satisfactory in the highest sense, His power of illustration, is the best of any speaker that lias addressed the Institute in sometime. Ilis power of description are almost without limit. He showed us the 'Elephant' in that novel way that will last us all through life. Man is the graude3t, and woman the most glorious creature of creation, The Col. would rather he a locomotive than anything else in the world except a woman. Hut then they are very much alike. They both scatter sparks and dra, trains. He saw a dollar in I'aly on which were inscriptions which covred the whole scope of human life. He show.d us that tnc ordinary dollar had inscription enough to cover the scope of some lives. He showed many other classes who are like tlie six blind mon who want to seethe Elephant. Of all the lectures this one has been looked forward to by the teachers as the lecture of the course." Administrator's Notice.
