The primary grade of the La porte school, will close to-day (Thursday). Miss Hoffman teacher, has given entire satisfaction to both parents and pupils.

George carries a pocket full of cigars and is liberal. The school directors should order the Institute room repaired of the damage done by fire last court. May term of court will convene 011 the 28th, hence the matter cannot be delayed much longer. School directors give it a thought. The Wheeler Hros. show which exhibited at Laporte 011 Saturday, is a complete humbug from start to finish. The concert is vulgar, aud those of our ladies who remained to witness it, were not long making up their niiud to this fact and left the tent iu disgust. President \V ilhtirof the 1,. V R R says lhatthe"car»hopsofthe L. V. will not be removed froiu llazeltoii, Say re and other places to one town aud goes onto say that their road has not discriminated against any town and will not. It has been the policy of the | couip.iuy to tielp towns and to scatter j its work as against the ordinary railroad policy concentration " This ; shows a right spirit aud officials of 1 other railroads would do well to 1 follow Mr. Wilbur'* example. The crazy people of Ohio, are going to nonllnate Jacob S. Coxey, the commonweal leader, for Con gress. Great Scott what won't take place during this administration. Don't burn boxes in the street that have been put together with wire nails. These nails are very sharp and are liable to cripple horses. We have learned of several instances where these animals have been in jured in this way. The REPUBLICAN was first to give the news that trains would run from Williamsport to Towanda over the W. & N. B. and L. V. roads. Our To wanda exchanges contradicted our statement and said it was not correct. They knew not whereof they spoke. An exchange propounds the fol lowing question: "If Bob Ingersol insists that there's no hell, will he please state what becomes of a man who takes a paper three or four years without paying for it, and then tells the postmaster to inform the publisher that he don't want it. The officials of the W. <fc N. B. R R., contemplates erecting a wind lass on each of the several trestles along their road. The object will be to carry water on the structurers in case of fire. Eugene Tripp who has the trestles in charge will do the work and will commence the same this Monday. Rev. T. D. Talmage's large and beautiful church iu Brooklyn to gether with a large hotel, were dis troyed by fire on Sunday afternoon. Loss something over one million of dollars. This beautiful edifice has been built and distroyed three times by fire. Dr. Talmage witnessed it go down with tears in his eyes. C. W. Waddrop of Hughesville, was doing business in Laporte, Mon day. While at the depot ho ex pressed a desire to have his Lake Mokoma lot cleared and inquired for a good man to take charge of the work. The fine appearance of Hon. Russel Karns' lot, opposite the depot, called his attention to the matter. There are fifteen counties in the State which have no representatives in the departments of the State government in Harriaburg, either as oliicials or employes. These counties are Adams, Bradford, Cameron, Columbia, Elk, Forest, Northampton, Perry, Potter, Snyder, Somerset, Sullivan, Venango, War ren and Wayne.—Ex. George Sanders' saw mill in Shrewsbury twp., and run under the superintendency of Aaron Foust, with twenty thousand feet or more of lumber burned early Tuesday morning. The fire is supposed to have originated from a spark from the smoko stack. The loss is quite large. George is a hard working young man and will have the sym pathy of nil in this his misfortune. Wheeler Bros, proprietors of the show that exhibited iti town on Saturday and another member of the little band, who claimed to own a third interest in the humbug, quarreled at Laporte on Sunday and the result was, the thing divided. The proprietors went to Dushore and the other fellow went to Pu- Bois to start a ten cent show. It won't take many divides to cause this thing to fall. The County Commissioners have decided to run the sewerage pipes leading from the courthouse across the west side of Maple Park and down Muucy street to, or near the school house building, where it will empty into a stream of water. The pipes have arrived and wo are told that work will commence on the same at once. The Commissioners propose doing the work by the day. IStli ol .iuguitt Plc-Nie I*ol. A mammoth pic-nio will be given at Lake Mokoma, (Laporte) on Wednesday the 15th of August. 1894. The funds thus derived will be contributed towaul the erection ol a Catholic church in Laporte. A general invitation is extended. Fit. J. A. KNRIOHT, Parish Priest. The Ladies Aid Society of La porte, will hold a business meeting at the M. K. church the last 'l'hurs day evening of every month.

Mason, on Thursday, May 17th, at U o'clock- Mr. E. A. Herring of Old Virginia State and who was employed by Gaynor, Son & Co. contractors, as chief engineer along the line of the W. & N. ]}. last summer, spent the early part of this week with friends in Laporte. Mr. Herring is interested in the mining business in Va. and came up to purchase some of the tools used in grading the YV. & N. B R. R. and formerly owned by Gaynor, Son it (Jo., but now in the hands of tr us Lues— Dunham and Mc- Farlane. Herman A. Knipe of Hughes ville and Peter liisel of Williams port, will be the conductors on the through trains over the \V. & N. 13. and State Line <fc Sullivan roads. The engineers will be Sam Allen of ilughesville and John Faust of To wanda. Allen has served a good many 3'ears in the railroad service. He served with the Heading Road for over fifteen years and quit be cause his health would not permit him to make the long runs required on that road. Faust is an old L. \ r . employe and is spoken of as a trust worthy and competent engineer. The dwelling of A, G. Little near Forksville, with all of its contents, was burned to the ground on Tues day nocn. The heavy gale of wind cairied the sparks some distance from the house and ignited a large wagon shed, granery and other out building, which were also consumed in the blaze. The fire originated from a defective flue. Loss about SI,OOO. Air. Little's father and mother who are advanced in old age and who resided in the same dwell ing, are also made homeless by the destructive fire. We are not pre pared to say whether or r.ot there was any insurance on the buildings. We sincerely hope there was. Ambrose Farrell of Lopez, made Laporte a call on Tuesday. Amby drove a dandy turn-out. He went on down the lino. Guess lie was looking up his political friends, Mr. Farrell and Mr. Streby arc looking for honors at the hands of the Sullivan County Democracy. Both are dead stuck ongoing down to Harrisburg this winter to help make laws, but we fear either will be doomed to disappointment. The independent voters of Sullivan county propose that 15. W. Jennings Esq., of Lopez, shall look after our welfare in Harrisburg this winter. So gentlemen you will please step down and out. Pursuant to call, a number of our citizens met at Spencer s store in Laporte on Saturday and consum mated the recently talked of organi zation to hire the services of a boy to keep our cattle off the rail road track at aud near Lake Moko ma. Hon. Russel Karns was made president of the organization, It. A. Conklin. secretary and Walter Spencer treasurer. The salary to be paid the boy per month is §IO.OO. l'ho number of cattle assessed is 28, hence will be about 36c per head a month. The assessment should be paid the treasurer as soon as con venient that the boy can have his money on demand. J, W. Ballard the Laporte car' riage and wagon maker, is doing quite an extensive business. It is our opinion that he turns out more wagons than any like firm in the county. During the last week be has turned out and disposed of the following wagons: One lumber wagon to Wm. Saulsbury, of Lopez; one light lumber wagon to Manual Jacobs, of Unityville ; one buggy to A. A. Baker, Laporte, and one buggy to Conrad Kraus the butcher. He has orders for three more lumber wagons, one buggy and one plat form wagon. The work turned out at the BuJlard shops is pronounced extra good and for this reason he is working up a very satisfactory trade. As will lie noticed elsewhere in these columns, a pie-nic is billed for Laporte on the 15th of August. Our people will spate no pains or expense in making this the most en joyable like event ever given in Sullivan county. A largo aud well made dancing platform will be erect, ed at Lake Mokoma, the steam boat now under construction will af ford a pleasant outiug on the lake, the row boats will be let lose and a general program of amusements will be the order of the day. We hop« to liavo excursions from both Williaiasport and Towanda. Du shore has boasted of having big days ou similar events, but we think we are sale in saying that their ' largest day ou an occasion like this, would hardly make n drop in the bucket compared with our future , day. Come o\ er and see. The pro tits of the pio nio will be expended j toward the erection of a Catholic ; church in Laixirte, and this is why the people of l.a|M»rte are going tc take a willing and pushing baud it 1 the success yl the vut«it«iuiueut.
