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.

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

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.

.(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."
