D. Reeser's store, and Victor Hugo foreman of the lleview, both of Dushore, Sundayed with friends in Laporte. Death lias removed ten men from the present National House of Rep» resentatives four of whom were from Pennsylvania, namely : O'Neill, Lilly Mutchler and Wright. The merchants of Shamokin, Mt. Carmel, Locust Gap and Trevorton have decided to arrest all unlicensed peddlars and several detectives have been engaged for this work. Next Thursday, November 29th, is Thanksgiving day. What will be the doings at the county seat ? Are we to have a shooting match as of yore or will the day pass unobserved by our sportsmen ? Several people of town and vicinity were cleaning up the grounds about the new Catholic church on Satur day. They made a decided change in the appearance of the yards on either Bide of the new edifice. F. M. Crossley of Laporte, sold bis gray team of horses that he used to drive on his 'bus, to J.

A cordial invitation is extended to all, and a good time guaranteed. You fellows who are discontinuing the Dushorc Gazette , because the editor did not vote on election, ought to catch onto the REPUBLICAN 1 . We will give you all the news and a stomach full of politics in season. Remember the price of our paper is puly SI.OO a year in advance. Corbett has lost the *B,OOO dia mond championship belt he won from Sullivan. It was on exhibition in the show window of an lowa druggist and Rome one stole it. We shall address bills to our de linquent subscribers in the very near future and trust that you will remit the same not later than the first of the new year. Will you arrange to give us a surprise on this date ? Those in attendance at December term of court can call and settle then. Hon. Russel Karns and wife en joyes a friendly game of cards about as well as any couple we know of in this vicinity. The young people of town take advantago of the old people's delight and meet at their house quite frequently during the week to enjoy a game of bull doze. December term of court will be held in the new courthouse. The court room ia nearly completed and with the furniture placed it will be a handsome apartment. M..L Phill ips has been awarded the contract of furnishing the furniture and we are given to understand that he will see to it that the same is placed in the structure indue time. A recent writer in the Philadelphia Press states that a rich oil belt lies in Bradford, Sullivan, Luzerne, Co lumbia and Schuylkill counties which is claimed in connection with the present oil fields at Olean. The belt extends from Brooklyn, Susquehan na county in an almost direct line through the Lake Ganoga region, to Berwick and then to Auburn, Schuyl kill county. The bell used in the old court house building, was hung in the tower of the new courthouse 011 Friday and the tone of the same is familiar to our people. It is hung low in the fourth story of the tower which has a tendency of muffling the sound somewhat. Our people think it would sound much better placed near the ceiling of the belfry instead of so close to the floor. Will our county commissioners have the change made ? Our schools, under the principal ship of Prof. O. L. Davis, assisted by Miss Belle McLaughlin, are rich in promises and progressing nicely. The enrollment numbers 85. Thirty three of this number are looked after by Mr. Davis, and 52 f.ttend the primary grade and are well disciplin ed and given every attention of their teacher Miss Belle. Both instruc tors have the good will of their pupils and are complimented, for their good work, by the parents. The bell for the new Catholic church at this place, which arrived a few days ago, was consecrated by Father Enright and placed in the belfry of the neat little church on Saturday. It is a splendid toned bell and was rung on Sunday morning as a signal that church hour for this congrega tion had arrived. Services, conduct ed by Fr. Enright, were held in the school house building as in the past. It will be several weeks before the church building will be ready for occupancy. When IIa»Uu K N Will be Inaugu rated. Governor-elect Hastings will be inducted into office January 15th. Governor Pattison was inaugurated January 20th and will have served live days less than four j'ears at the close of his term. There is no doubt the inauguration of the incuming Governor will be the most imposing ever seen in Pennsylvania. This has been a great year for Republicans, the party will have an overwhelming majority in the next legislature and will 110 doubt signalize its return to power in the State with a monster inaugural parade and reception. The Montour Irion and Steel Co., for the first time in months, is in full operation this week in all its depart ments. The foundry and machine departments are making 8 hours per day at steady employment. Both the puddling mills arc at work with a full force of men. The 12 &20 inch trains are manufaturing vurious sizes of skelp iron, and the 16 inch mill is making bar iron and iron rails, 16 pounds to the yard.—Danville Amer. can. This speaks a good word for the result of the recent election. We are informed that in Main twp. at the recent election, the board com pelled the Republican watcher to leave the polliug room before the ballots were counted. lie should have refused to leave. He had a legal right to be there and by a des cision of Judge Arnold, a Democratic judge of Philadelphia given on Fri day in a similar case, he had a legal right to inspect every ballot if he so desired. We hope, in the future, all such cases will be at once reported to the chairman of the county com mittee, that the proper legal remedy may be applied.—Bloomsburg Rep. Uliat to Nnjr ol Your Town mill W lie ii. It is bettor to always speak well of your town no matter wlietlicr you arc at home or away from homo. If 3011 have any criticisms to make, make tliein at home to your fellow citizens who can fully appreciate their worth and join you in remov ing the causes ; make them at home where they may do no harm if they are reasonable and just. But on no consideration, should a man criticise his home town to strangers away from home, for he not only discounts his own loyalty but even if his criti cisms are just, discredits his town whose condition, interests, and well fare are not understood by strangers. If a man cannot speak well of his town to strangers, away from home, he should remain silent, but silence will not be necessary for there is no town on this footstool which has not some redeeming feature of which its citizens can boast; acd it is their duty to boast this feature and mag nify it for all it is worth —no more— in order to give their town a reputa tion among towns, and their citizens ship the proper semblance of loyalty. This is the secret of the rapid growth of many a Western city and of the prominence of many a Western man. PniMADELPHIA, Nov. 19.—1t was officially announced to-night that the make-up of Governor Hastings cabinet has been decided upon, Gov ernor Hastings' official advisers will be as follows: Secretary of the Coimnonweath, Frank Reeder, of Eastern. Attorney General, Henry Clay McCormick, of Williamsport. Adjutant General, Thomas J. Stew art, of Norristown. James Henry Lambert, of Phila delphia, political editor of the Press. Insurance Commissioner. Private Secretary, Louis E. Beitlcr who is now Private Secretary to Mayor Stewart, of Philadelphia. The iucuinbent of the position of Superintendent of Banking has not yet been chosen. Selected to Atlcuil Jlr. Wriglit'N Funeral. Speaker Crisp appointed the fol lowing committee on Nov. 14ih to attend the funeral of the late M. B. Wright at Susquehanna, on Saturday last: Representatives John 11. Rob inson, J. B. Reilly, A. C. Hopkins, Howard Mutchler, J. D. Hicks, oi Pennsylvania ; Amos Oummings and J. W. Wads worth, of New York; J. W. Casey, of Deleware ; and C. A. Cadmus, of New Jersey. Vice Pres ident Stevenson appointed the follow ing committee to attend on the part of the senate : Senators Cameron and Quay, of Pennsylvania; Senator But ler, of Soutli Carolina; Senator Pcff er, of Kansas, and Senator Maderaon of Nebraska. To morrow, Saturday, November 24th. is going to be a big day at Ringdale. They arc goinn to havo a turkey shooting match over there on this date and extend a cordial invitation to the marksmen of Eagles Mere, Muncy Valley, Sonestown, Nordmont and Laporte to attend. Sheriff Mahaffey has some business that be feels ought to be done on this date, but has about decided to postpone business until Monday and take in the match. The Sheriff will charter a car to bring home his "fowls." Penns3'lvania railroad officials who arc in positions to kuow state that since election day they have noticed an increase of traffic on the P. & E. and Sunbury divisions of nearly 30 percent., which is the most encour aging sign of returning good timet: that has yet come to light. That shows a sudden impetus in the move ment of goods among the large deal ers, and is another point in favor of our predictions. Let the good work goon and good times return.— Jßx. J. W. Ballard the carriage builder of Laporte, is of the opinion that wagons can be manufactured by steam power as cheaply in Laporte as any other town in the state and is contemplating tho advisability of erecting a plant of this kind in the spring- The people of Laporte would be more than pleased tore i lize a plant of this kind in our midst. County Superintendent F. W. Meylert is busy engaged in looking after the duties of his office. He left on Tuesday morning en route to Fox township, where he will spend the entire week visiting schools. Prof. Meylert is the recipient of many compliments for the faithful performance of his duty as County Superintendent. Thanksgiving Services. There will be a Thanksgiving service held in the M. E. church at this place, Thanksgiving morning. Service at 10:30 a. m., consisting of recitations, a short sermon by the Pastor, singing etc. Every body cordially invited. Come expecting a good meeting and aid by your presence in making it such. E. S. LATSUAW, Pastor. An F.nJojabln KveMlng. Mr. C. 11. Jennings gave a ban quet to his many friends at See raan's Hotel, near Lope/,, on Tliurs<. day evening of last week. There were a large numherof people of the county invited,hut many owing to the distance hesitated aboutgoing. The reception was held from 9 to 12 in the spacious ball room of the Seemau Hotel and the old fashion fire-place at the soutli end of the room, lighted; was cheerful and re freshing. In the room were a dozen or more small tables. These were surrounded by parties who were en. joying a game of cards. Others sat in front of the old fire-place talking over the result of the election. At 11 o'clock, Master of Ceremonies, Mr. C. H. Jennings announced supper, when all repaired to the dining room and partook of the fatted turkey prepared for the occasion. The re past was excellent and was in keeping with the reputation established by that well known hostilery. Conrad Kraus our pleasant and genial butch er served as cater, and with his re cent experience in Philadelphia at similar gatherings performed his part well. Mr. Kraus assigned the honor of carving the birds, three in number, to Hon. E. M. Dunham, President Judge-elect of this district, M. D- Swartz Esq., cashier of the First National Bank of Dushore, and F. P. Vincent Esq., chairman of the republican standing committee and who did much active and good work in the recent campaign. These peo ple showed themselves expert carv er? and it was only a short time until all were served and enjoying the spread of good things. All did ample justice at the tabic and with this over toasts wero In order, but Lute Wells s-uggestcd that this part of the programc be omitted, when all returned to the reception room and those who desired enjoyed a smoke and talked ovor the political situation of the future. Theßepuba Means make 110 secret of the fact that they expect to carry the county in 1805. The banquet was a pleasant suc cess ami miue Host Mr. (J. EI. Jen nings was the recipient of many compliments for the pleasant even ing afforded his many guests. Among the party present were : C. 11. Jennings, George T. Deegan. W. L. Jennings, lion. E. M. Duu liam, Fred Newell, E. P. Kester, Atty. J. H. Cronin, 11. M. Kellogg, M. I). Swartz, Samuel Cole, William Colt, F. X. Waltman, Dr. E. Rine bolcl, F. P. Vincent, Prof. F. W. Mej lert, C. E. Jackson, Atty. F. 11. Ingham, Frank Rice, Clias. Garrin ger, Luther Wells, Albert Dyer, Otto Belir, Hon. B. W. Jennings, L. 11. Car rington and W. M. Cheney. In view of the rumors of a contest of the judicial election it will inter est our readers to know how it will effect the tax payers of the county. As a contest opens all of the ballot boxes, and permits the calling of witnesses as to every disputed vote, it requires many witnesses and con sumes a great deal of time. The contested election case i,? Lycoming county lasted nearly two years, and the expenses, we understand, exceed ed thirty thousand dollars. The attorney fees were not less than four thousand dollars. Considering the loger distances that witnesses must travel in this district, it is not too much to assume that the costs in this case would exceed those ia Ly~ coming county. The next question is, who pays this cost? It may be answered by saying first, that in no case can it fall upon the Judge whose seat is contested, and an allowance is made for his attorneys' fees, which we un derstand, in the Lycoming count)' case was fixed at two thousand dol lars, and paid by the county. Sec ondly it may be answered that, in case the contestant fails to establish his case, the whole cost may fall up on the persons who signed his peti tion or upon the district. The act of assembly provides that the peti tioners shall pay the costs, unless the judges who try the case shall certify that there was a reasonable cause for the contest. It cannot be predicted therefore with any certain ty whether the cost will fall upon the petitioners or upon the county. The tax payers of this county are already heavily burdened and will no doubt heartily pray that the costs may fall upon the petitioners; and in case it does not, will have a reck* oning hereafter with the men who caused it. Mr. John Quinn of New Albany, and brother of James Quinn, former ly of l.aporte, died very suddenly, supposed of heart trouble, on Wed nesday. The funeral will be held at Dushore this Friday. For tale. 1 bay mare, weighing 1100 pounds per fectly sound. 1 young mare colt. 1 shorp shirc ram. All will be sold very cbead- I also have a number of sheep that I would like to let out on shares or to double on very good terms. F. H. IMOUAM. Thankngiving is rapidly approach iny;. The M K.

All gifts can either bo brought to the service Thanksgiving morning or sent direct to the parsonage. Now friends let us celebrate Thanksgiving by thanks-living, and let all di(Ter ences of opinion and sectarian preju dice bj lai<l aside aud all join in this good work, know ing it is more bless ed to give than to receive. Make the day a blessing by remembering your poor brother and He who said, "In as much as 3-0 have done it unto one of the least of these, ray brethren, ye have done it unto me," will not fail to reward you for it.
