Scranton Tribune', Tuesday, March 12 : "In the nomination l>3 r accla mation yesterday of B. W. Lewis, of Tutikhannock, for president judge of tho forty-fourth judicial district, the Republicans of Wyoming county have placed a most creditable and worthy candidate in the field. Mr. Lewis is recognized in his profession as one of the best and closest stu dents of law in this part of Pennsyl vania. He is a man of wide culture, superior scholarship and excellent personal address. In his civic, as well as in professional relations, he has manifested a disposition of fair ness and probity which, taken in connection with his other qualities tions, well qualities him for the suc cessful discharge of the judicial function." — During President Harrison's ad ministration three hundred million dollars, bonded debt of the govern ment was paid oil Mills, factories, coal mince and all kinds of industries were prosperous, and every man who wanted to work was employed. Things are dilfereut now. After one year of democratic rule wo Hud the pul'lie debt iuen-aeed by a t>< n<| issue of ttftv millions, hundreds of thousands of Idle workmen, ill want of Hoik and st a mug spread abroad over our laud, aid values have reached the lowest level ever known. * • One of our Populist e&changcs cam* in teal week with olio page covered with hair liinsi and blotches of lull.

EIIITOR : We have hoard considerable talk concerning the organization of a building association in La porte. Let one be organized by all means. Every house in town is oc cupied. In several cases two or three families are living in ono house. Ten or twelve houses that would rent at five or six dollars por month are needed at once. Within the past week we have talked with four parties who are anxious to move here now but can not find even two or three rooms for temporary quar ters. If local capital cannot be ob tained, let the money be borrowed and mortgages on the property be given to secure its payment, The building of a dozen houses would bring not only considerable money to town but would bring in residents and thus help the town in every way. The question should be talked over and someone who understands the methods by which other towns have been helped by building associations should be invited to address a meet ing called for that purpose. We believe the project can be worked up and be made successful. Every property owner in Laporte should interest himself in the mat ter and if a plan can be agreed upon let work begin at once. CITIZEN'. Stewart & May proprietors of the Laporte Hotel, will give a grand opening on Friday evening, April Oth. All are cordially invited. Wallace Hoagland, a student of Lebanon University, Ohio, for the past three years, who has been visit ing his mother and other relatives a short time, returned Thursday to finish his studies.

Mr. Hoagland is from Sullivan county ; he resided here before he entered college and made many friends who will be glad to greet Dr. Hoagland on his return.—Towanda Review.

William Beck noticed a bitter taste in a dish of pot-pie and refused to eat it, and tho whole was thrown upon an ash heap. A neighbor's pet dog partook and died. Analysis disclosed strychnine, nnd the matter remains a mystery, Mrs. Beck states that while the dish was cooking she had stepped into a neighbor's, and on returning noticed a white sub l * stance on the stove near the kettle, but thought it might be plaster or whitewash from the ceiling.

The heavily loaded sleigh was coming cityward. One of tho horses next to the vehicle fell. The driver lashed it with his whip. Then ho kicked it. Finally he swore at it. But he did not get down to extricate the animal from the harness which held it a prisoner. The men in the sleigh buried their chins in their overcoats and indulged the contemplation of fatulism as a philosophy which re moves every passion from the breast. Suddenly a lady cla I in a sealskin sactpie got out und going up to the driver said to him in an imperative way, 'give me that whip." The driver was dazed. In a stupitled way he handed over tho whip. •'Now," said the little lady, "if you touch ttiat horse again I will let you feel the weight of this whip acroaa your shoulders. Gut down this mo ment and cut the harness and help the horse to rise." The driver stared at her. The women iu the sleigh tittered, the man hung ibelr beads.
