There are said to be 15 Democrats in the Senate and 57 in the House 'who openly oppose an income tax. Iu the neighborhood of a hundred young people of Laporte, enjoyed a skate on Lake Mokoma, Saturday afternoon. The railroad boys say house clean ing will strike the Laporte depot in the spring. The change will bo noticeable. Jj. E. Wells of Dushore, was trans acting business at the county seat, Monday. Luke has lots of friends over here who are always pleased to see him. A vote lor Galusha A. Grow, is a vote for better times. He will help kill the Wilson bill. Working men should bear this iu mind, on the 20th day of February. C P. Cheney of Eagles Mere, will sell at public sale his personal prop erty, consisting of household goods, horses, wagons etc., on Tuesday January 30th '94. Mr. James McFarlane, jr., of New York city, spent Saturday and Sun day with his father at this place. Jim is the picture of good health, and evidently enjoyed a good time while here. The REPUBLIC\X is credited with ■giving more rail road news concern ing the W. & N. 8., than any paper along the line. The rail road men appreciate it, and are subscribing for the same by twos and threes. There will be two tickets to vote on the 20th of February. A state ticket aud a township ticket. This may make it a little confounding for some of us. The REPUBLICAN, as of the past, will instruct its readers indue time. B. G. Welch Esq. general manas ger of the Williamsport and North Branch Rail Road, will please accept o ir thanks for a pass over the same. We don't take the train very often but when we do, we find the little card very convenient. Let Congress kill the Cleveland tariff bill and the relief committee in all our large cities will no longer bare to feed thousands of hungry people; labor would be iu demand and prosperity would again appear in all branches of trade. The County Commissioners have reccutly purchased of Mr. Win. F. Murphy of Philadelphia, a new copying press. We congratulate the new Commissioners on this in vestment, as a press of this kind is almost a nacessity in the Commia atoners office. The anti-Harrity Democrats of Philadelphia have carried out their threat and have nominated another candidate for Congreasnian-at-Largc. Senator Markley, of Montgomery county is the man selected. Now, Mr. Hancock will have a chance to defeat someone. Our town ie badly in need of ten - ant houaea. Several railroad men lire anxious to locate here, were these lioun* to be had.

The Luzerne county grand jury reported a new courthouse, last week. Mrs. T. J. Keeler was elected superintendent of the Laporte Sun day school, in place of J. W. Ballard, resigned, at the beginning of the new year. The following named are the can didates for Congressman-at-Large: Republican— Galusha A. Grow. Democrat—James Denton Hancock. Ponulist—Victor A. Lotier. Prohibition—Henry F. Morrow. Auti llarrify Dein.—Arthur D. Markley. Johnny Benhen of Laporte, who shot himself in the foot while hunt ing last fall, is able to be about on crutches. His foot is swollen quite badly at this date; however, he hopes to have the use of his limb in a week or ten days. Not one of our delinquents, whom we have addressed bills to and re quested a settlement, have discon tinued our paper. This is a fact that not many papers can boast of and is evident that the REPUBLICAN is well liked by its readers, which is a pleasant thought to the Editor. The undersigned desires to extend thanks through the columns of the REPUBLICAN to neighbors and friends who so kindty assisted them during the sickness and death of Mrs. John Walburn, late of Muncy Valle}-. MR. and MKS. Jos. WALBURN. The enthusiasm for Hon. G. A Grow for Congressuian-at-Large grows rapidly, as indicated by the popular expressions of the press generally throughout the state. Estimates of his majority range from 125,000 to 200,000. We believe the latter will prove to bo the nenj-est guess when the votes are counted. CHURCH NOTES: The presiding Elder of the M. E. church will hold services in said church at Laporte, on Friday evening January 10th, and the Quarterly Convention will be held alter said services. Song service and class at 3 p. m Sunday January 21st, and preaching and sacramental services at six p. in. The county Beat can boast of hay ing a large number of fight good skaters of both ladies and gentlemen, None, extra ordinary fast, but all on an average skilled in the art. Harry Landon of the juvenile class cuts quite a swell on the slippery surface and is considered the best in his class. lie can cut an eagle and put the "scream" on it. Men engaged at work grading for the "Y" at the head waters of Lake Mokoma, nxcavated a stone, weight about 30 or 40 pounds, shaped very much like a blacksmith anvil, cne da 3' last week. Mr. ltitter, station agent at Laporte, has it on exliibi tien in the depot and contemplates giving it a coat of paint and placing it on a mantel in said department, as a relic of railroad days in this vicinity. Let the committeeman of the Dem ocratic party and the committeeman of the Republican party and also the committeeman of the Prohibition party, call a Union caucus for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates lor the numerous oflices to be elected in February and have harmony in our quiet little hamlet. Whats the good of going to extremes j over these little petty offices. Mr. Jacob Fries, aged 54, of La porte, whom wc announced in the KHIH ULICAX, :IH being dangerously ill of pneumonia, last week, died at his residence in the second ward, on Sunday morning. Hurial took place in the C'atholio cemetery at Onshore on Tuesday. I>eci-ased had resided in Laporte for u long period of time and held the responsible position of tireman at the Laporte tannery.

G. Welch Esq., general manager of the W. & N. B. R. R., is negotiating with the post office department at Washing ton, with a view of having a mail pouch put on the rail road especially for Dushore. The same to be carried to and from Sattertield by B. F. Crossley, who is now running a hack from the matropolis to meet all trains. This will make it convenient for people of Dushore, who desire quick returns from officials at the county seat. The income tax will operate on offi cials who get more than S4OOO a year but some of them can easily fix that matter. All titles and pre* tensions vanish when the assessor comes around. The "superintend ent" is often a "laborer" to the asses sor but the subscription is stopped if the society reporter fails to give his proper title when writing up his daughter's marriage.— Bloonisburg Sentinel. [ Dem.] True, Ero. Krickbaum, perjury will be the main act in this bill should it become a law. Several young men of Laporte, organized an icc trust here, last week. That is, they filled ice houses b3' contract. Judging from reported profits the trust will bust in a few days, however the boys will have the experience and next January they can commence over again with fair prospects of success. The trust is composed entirely of Democrats and it takes, says Mr. Grow, our candidate for Congressman, "from one to a hundred years for a Demo crat to learn anything new; hence, in keeping with the party. No offense. "Perfectly lovely," is what all the ladies say about the calendar for '94 published by C. I. Ilood & Co., pro prietors of Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is a upicjue »t}d beaqtiful calendar, which combines accuracy of date and other useful and valuable infor mation with the attractions of orna ment. It is a very desirable and serviceable gift. Those of our readers who have not already secured one, can do so by applying to the drug* gist# or sending sjx cents in stamps for one, or ten cents for two copies, to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, MU*B Judge* to be Elected. Next November will witness the election of fifteen Judges in this State, twelve common pleas and three orphan's court, to take the places of Judge Archbald, of Lack awanua; Judge Reeder, of North hampton; Judge Wilson, of Phila delphia ( Judge Sadler of Cumber land ; Judge Hazen,of Butler; Judge Clayton, of Delaware ; Judge Meuard of Murcur; Judge Wickham, of Beaver; Judge White, of Indiana; Judge McClean, of Adams; Judge Fui st, of Centre, and Judge Sittser, of Sullivan ; also, Orphan's Court Judges llanna, of Philadelphia; Hawkins, of Allegheny, and Rhone, of Luzerne. Mr, Percy Bivins assisted by his mother, both formerly of Laporte, rescued a drowning man in Jowa City, on January Ist. The man broke* through the ice on a mill pond and was noticed by Mr. Bivins, who in company with his mother were out for a walk. Percy ran to the rescue and the mother went for help. A rope was brought and with the help of a couple of men who were hailed as they were driving by and a lady—Mrs. Holu who furnished the rope, the drowning man was saved According to an account iu the lowa City Republican, Percy, also had a narrow escape from drowning. In his eagerness to save the man, he had rentllred too far on the iee, which ga?e way with him, and, but for the assistance of a board which lie had in his hand at the time, would have gone to the bottom too!

One ol Sullivan County's Most I'roiuiucut uud l'opulur Young Men. It becomes the sad duly of the REPUBLICAN to chronicle ihe un timely death of Robert M. Stormont, which occured at his home in La porte, on Monday evening January, 15th, after an illness of about three weeks. For nearly two months previous to hi 3 sickness Mr. Stormont had been troubled wilh pain in his eyes and severe head aches. This he at tributed largely to working in his ofllce evenings with poor light. Up on the Saturday before Christmas he worked hard at the ofllce all day and Sunday remained in-doors most of the day. The following Monday, Christmas-da}', he was unable to leave his room. Medical aid was at once summoned and by Thursday, Dec. 28, he had improved so that he walked up to the barber shop. Up on his return to the house he was taken with a chill and grew rapidly worse. A congested condition of the liver was followed by fever that attacked the eyes and brain. This at once resulted in delirium and unconsciousness and fur nearly two weeks before his death he failed to recognize even his devoted wife whose faithful care and constant at tention did much to relieve his suf fering. All that medical skill could do was done for him. Dr. 11 ill of Laporte and Dr. Geo. D. Nutt of Williamsport were the attending physicians. A trained nurse from Willianisport assisted in coring for him. The end ennie appearent without pain, aud surrounded by wife, sister and parents he peacefully passed away. Mr. Stormont was born iu East Saginaw, Mich., Dec. 28, 1864. His parents moved to Laporte when he was but ten mouths old, and he has therefore lived most of his life here. As a feoy his pleasing manner and sturdy manliness made him a great favorite with both old and young, lie had a quick wit and ready expression and with it all a happy genial disposition. At school he was always a leader in both books and sports. The side that was fortunate enough to have "Bob" for its leader generally came out ahead whether the contest was a spelliug match, a game of ball, or an imaginary attack wilh snow-balls upon a garrison fort built of ice and snow. He had all the qualities of a leader. He was both courageous and skillful and when lie attempted to accomplish a task he had the nerve and energy to carry it through. In Jan. 1880, when a trillo over twenty-ono years of age, he was aj>- pointcd L>y the county commissioners ! Messrs. Albert, Low ami Tripp, as their elcrU. This position he lias held ever since that time having been successively appointed by Messrs. Hugo, Campbell and Myers in 'BH, 'BO ami 90, and by Messrs. Mcßride Scanlin and Cheney in '9l, '92 aiul 93. Since 1891 he has also held the position of Deputy Treasurer of Sullivan county. Concerning his character as an officer little need be said. His long term of faithful service shows both competency and integrity. Every obliging, courte> ous aud prompt he has been a model in the transaction of public business. He was the soul of honor and his j word was as good at his bond. In ISDI he was married t<» Miss Cora Kama only (laughter of Hon. ltus>eli Kirns <>! Lnporte.

Judging from reports the south is slowly but surely awakening to the fact that Calhoun ism is its bane. The controversy over the Wilsou bill the modern fruitage of the theories of the South Carolina Nullifier, has made evident the fact that a Protec tion sediment is growing below ilason and Dixon's line. Southern business men are indeavoring to pro.' some of their leading Senators to introduce a resolution in the Senate declaring that owing to the present business depression there should be no change in the tarifl for at least two j'ears. Although such a resolution is not likely to be adopted, it is hoped that the end aimed at will be accomplished by the defeat of the destructive bill. The tickets for township and borough elections, are under the late act of the legislature, amending the election laws, to bo furnished by the county commissioners. The certificates of nomination and nom ination papers must be filed with the county commissioners at least IS and 15 days respectively before election. The Spring elections oc cur on the third Tuesday of Feb. which this year is the 20th of the mouth. All nominations should therefor be made at once.
