These dull times make news scarce. The spring election will soon be here. A counterfeit five dollar silver note is in circulation. The landlords are circulating their petitions for license. The car shops at Milton shutdown last week. No orders. The present is just like the grip winter of four years ago. Robins have made their appear ance in some parts of the state. The law says you must not catch pickerel between Feb. Ist and June Ist. With a foot or so of snow, times would brighten up, at least, for a short period of time. The editor is on the unwell list, hence our columns are somewhat neglected this week. The number of Emigrants landed in New York city last year were 486- 529. This is about 480,000 too many. Russel Earns had a 425 pound !hog killed, on Monday. It took =throe or four men to hang it up. We are busy putting the county statement in type this week, hence, our paper is somewhat neglected. County Superintendent, F. W. Meylert is busy visiting schools in Oolley and Cherry townships, this week. Such sudden and extreme changes in the weather! Summer one day rend winter the next. Not good for 6teady health. Mice may be very insignificant creatures, but they aro superior to most men when it comes to getting the best of a woman. The Y. W. C. T. U. will meet at the home of Miss Fannie Meylert Friday evening Jan. 26th. All are invited to attend. The annual statement of Sullivan county for the year 1893, will ap pear in the REPUBLICAN during the anonth of February. The coldest weather last winter wais in the teeH days of January and the first good sleighing began Jan. (Jtli and lasted until March 10th. Rev. J. W. Crawford of Hughcs ville, and well known in tliis vicinity has accepted the charge of the Emanuel Baptist church at Danville. A citizens' caucus and a demo cratic caucus, were held at the county seat, the early part of this week. We give both tickets else where. Lincoln county, New Mexico, has an area of 26,452 square miles. More than that of Connecticut, Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Delewarc and Maryland. Collector Herring's mail hasgrowu to euormous proportions since his appointment. Of course the majori ty of the letters are lrom applicants who want appointments. We shall l>c obliged to send out supplements with our issues of the REPUBLICAN next month. The county statement will fill our adver tising columns to overflowing. In some parts of Pennsylvania farmer* have already begun their «pring plowing. Farming of this kind in January I* not often witness ed in the old Keystone State. The county auditors were called to llie county seat on three different aecaiiion* to complete the atateineut, hence, their bill will naturally be a trilte mure than their predecessors.

Smith, County Treasurer elect appointed Morgan Gavitt ol Laporte township, his Deputy on Friday last. Morgan will evidently make a competent officer. Z. E. Bottslord shot a large bear along the plank road between this place and Thorncdale, on Monday. It weighed in the neighborhood ol 225 pounds. The Leporte tannery depot is completed and is done oil'very nicely on the interior. This stop will be a flag station and will be very conven ient to a large delegation of people. Of the twenty men who have held the office of governor of Pennsylva nia since 1790 only throe are now living. They aro Andrew G. Curtin, James A. Beaver and Robert E. Pattison. Editor McKee of the Towanda Review, passed over the W. & N. B. R. 11. the other day, and on his re turn homo gave a column and a half article in his paper concerning the new road. With few exceptions, the article was official. L. B. Zaner, who has been engag ed in distilling birch oil, in the vicin ity of Proctor, for the past year, sold his plant recently and now re sides at l'ivoli. He expects to move on the old homestead in Cherry twp. about the first of April. Jerry Kelly the Hardware Mer chant of llughesville will insert a new column ad in the REPUBLICAN next week. Watch for it. Mr. Kelly is always pleased to meet his Sullivan county friends. Give him a eall. Dr. John Corr, a well known char acter who now has his headquarters in Sullivan county, in a published card, says he will be the next rcpre- j sentative from that county in the Legislature. He will stand in the interest of botany and protect bo tanic doctors and druggists so as to enable them to use plants as medi cines.—Reporter Journal. It should be remembered that the Baker ballot law requires all certifi cates of nomination for offices to be voted for at the spring election for boroughs and townships to be filed with the County Commissioners at least 18 days before the election. The election occurs this year on Tuesday, February 20th. The .Murderer ."Not Discovered. The coroner's jury, in the case of C. W. Watterman of Tunkhannock, who met his heath at that place re cently, decided that ho came to his death at the hands of some person or persons unknown to the jury. Forty-three witnesses were called, but no cvidouce could be brought, sufficient to make any arrests. The funeral of R. M. Stormont, on Thursday last, was one ot the largest ever witnessed in Laporte. It was estimated that there were three hundred people in the proces sion. Sonestown, Muncy Valley. Dusbore and Forksville were repre - sented. The pall bearers were: ex- County Treas., Wni. Murray, of On shore ; ex-Sheriff Tripp, of Canton ; ex-County Com., S. K. Mcßride, ol Laporte; Atty. A. J. Bradley, of Laportc ; Atty. F. 11. Ingham; La porte ; and W. M. Cheney, Laporte. A team of horses owned by Chas. Lauer, broke through the ice on Lake Mokoma, several yards from shore, Monday morning. Mr. Lauer with his force of men who are en gaged in loading several cars with the crystal c;ikes, for shipment, found it rather a difficult task to get them out, they l>elug in nearly over their backs. By repeated efforts they managed to release them from the load they were hitched to, and then by a little urging the animal-, sprang out upon tbo frozen surface, | unharmed. The father of a bright little boy ] was running a printing office and publishing a weekly paper- One day an advance auent for a show came along and ordered aouie posters printed on cotton cloth. His order was filled, but for some reason he neglected to call (or them and they were left belaud. The Editor's wife ran across them, aud as cloth was then high she took them lio-ue and j used them to line a pair of pants that ■die wan making for the luture cditoi, then a Imy of ten years.

Mrs. R. M. Stormont wishes to express her sincere thanks through the columns of the REPUBLICAN for the kind assistance of her many friends and neighbors during the sickness anil death of her husband. An exchange tells the story of a tramp who rang a doctor's bell and asked the trim, pretty woman who opened the door if she would ask the doctor if he had a pair of pants he was willing to give away. "lam the doctor," replied the pleasant woman and the tramp fainted. A Union caucus will be held in the township of Laportc at the reg ular polling place, Wednesday Jan. 31st, between the hours ot 2 and 4 p. in., for the purpose of placing in nomination the several candidates for township ofiices to be voted for at the spring election. A cordial invitation is extended to all. It Came Too High. A llazleton man wishing to adver tise In one of the Philadelphia papers recently wrote the Philadel phia Times, and asked that paper's price for one page in one Sunday's issue. The resident was thunder struck when he received a reply from the paper stating that the price would be only $330. lie abandoned the idea of advertising in the city papers. Secretary Carlisle in December last put the deficiency in the United States Treasury, at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, at $28,000,000 Now he is forced to admit the truth and his figures show a deficiency, from July 1 to January 12, of $43,- 558,044.94, and ho says that if the same average monthly deficiencies should continue the total deficiency ; at the end of the fiscal year will reach the enormous sum of *78,167,- 532. So much for Democratic con trol of the government. Dr. C. S. O'Brien, who died some : two months ago, took out a life; insurance policy for SI,OOO in the i Xew York Life Insurance Company, ou Jan. 12 1803, in favor of his wife. j Last Friday the agent of the com pany Mr. J. H. Kauffinan, of Mt. Carmel, called at this office and showed us the check of the company drawn to the order of Mrs. Sadie O'Brien for the full amount. Ti.is certainly shows the value of life in surance, and the promptness of the above named company in the pay ment of the death loss should com- j mend it to our citizens as a safe, sound and reliable one,— Benton 1 A rgus. Ex-banker F. V. Rockafellow, of Wilkes Barre, recently convicted of embezzlement, was called up in the Luzerne county courts for sentence on Friday last. It is stated that when his name was called lie went feebly forward with bowed head and clasped hands, the picture of humil iation and sorrow, and when attorney Frank W. Whoa ton arose aud read a paper asking for mercy, calling attention to the fact tLat the prisoner was 70 years ol age, that he hud al ready suffered severely, and that his family would be left unprovided for, the old man burst into tears. J lis sentence is to pay a fine of $1,250, the cost of prosecution and undergo ; imprisonment in the Easter Peniten tiary for a term of two years and two months. It is quite natural for those who lost by Mr. Rockafellow j to feel very bitter towards him, but | the person who cannot express a feeling of sorrow an? sympathy for! the old man at this time must indeed j be the possessor of a very hard heart. His attorney will ask the Supreme | Court for a special writ to again ul- ! low their client to be pjaped under | bail. Since the above was in type j Mr. Rockafellow has been released from jail on $.">,000 bail, by order of j the Supreme Court. The bail holds i good until April, when the Supreme j Court will decide the petition for a j new trial. — Tunkhannock A'ii«tliiKulNlir«l < Irrgiraau .WwkFN an AiiiHiaucrmpnl (but Murtled bit* Congregation. BKOOKLVN, Jan. 21.—Rev. T. De- Witt Talinage startled his large con gregation in Brooklyn Tabernacle to night by announcing the lion of his office as pastor of the church. lie had just preached a sermon of unusual eloquence through which run a sorrowful vein. After he had finished the sermon proper lie said : "This coming spring I will have been pastor of this church twenty five years, and a quarter of a century is long enough for any minister to preach in one place. At that anni versary I will resign this pulpit and it will be occupied by such person as you may select. Though the work has been arduous because of the unparalleled necessity of build ing three great churches, two of litem being destroyed by fire, the field has been delightful and blessed by God. No other congregation has ever been called to build three churches and I hope no other pastor will ever be called to such a fearful undertaking. My plans after resig nation have not been developed, but 1 shall preach both by voice and newspaper press so long as 1113' life and health will continue." The announcement was us sudden as it was startling. Dr. Talinage gave no warning of this in his dis course and when it came the vast audience was as if stunned. There was a deathlike stillness throughout the church while he was speaking and nearly a minute passed after the doctor had finished before it was broken. Then subdued manners were heard, which were taken up in every pew and most widespread comment was begun. The closing hymn was sung in a meloncholy tone and the congregation filed out and Dr. Talmage left. People who concern themselves more about the spring election than ! they do about the general election, don't bring hariuonv into our little town. They are generally looking tor self interest. It is time that the would-be-bosses should bo laid on the shelf and at this election is the proper time to do it. \oticc. The Republicans of Fox twp. will hold a caucus in the town house at Sliunk, Saturday Jan. 29 1594, be tween the hours of 3 and a o'clock, p. 111., for the purpose of nominating 1 twp. officers to be voted for at next February election.

Y., Jan. 21. John Strang, a poor minister, many years ago got a bell, and according to the custom which still prevails in some parts or Germany, paraded through the streets ringing it and calling attention to the fact that he j wanted to sell his wife. An old pen sioner, named Clemans, thought he would make up for the loss of an arm by taking a wife, lte paid over a valuable cow and S3 in cash. The wife went with Clemans without a murmur and lived with him until he died. Times grew better and Strang prospered. He still had the cow, but 110 one to take care of her. lie | looked around and found a buxom woman who was willing to be Mrs. Strang and take care of the cow at the same time. This woman finally ran away with another man. A| month ago Strang was found dead in j ; bed with suspicious bruises on vari- ! ous parts of his body, A jury de cided that death resulted from nat ural causes. Strang'* second wife secured the services of a local lawyer and had John Keilly. or Highland Falls, ap pointed executor of the dead mans .state Corroner Miller warned 1 hem thut Strang's first wife, from whom lie lin 1 never procured a divorce, wn» still living, but Itcillv decided to give the etteet* to Mr*.
