Join the crowd and pay the print er next week. The squeel of the porker is heard in the land. The public street is a bad school ior children. Applicants to lease the Ringdale Hotel, are numerous. The weather was between a rain and a freeze, Sunday. Sheriff Mahaffoy and A. A. Over lioltzer, took a drive over to Dushore Saturday. Those 29 majority for Dunham, is like the hump on a camel's back hard to move. With a confectionary attached our barber, N. C. Maben is doing a thriving business. Howard Lyon Esq., ot William sport, was transacting business in Laporte, Tuesday. Mr. F. M. Crossley and daughter. Miss Bertha, of Laporte, Sundayed with friends in Wilkes Bar re. James Miller, general supt. of the Muncy Valley tannery, was doing business at the county seat, Tuesday. Tiios. E. Kennedy, head book keeper for the Union Tanning Co., at Jamison City, was calling on friends in Laporte, Sunday. The Dushore Gazette is still ex plaining how it happened. George savs the Ringsters did it. W T hat s the matter with letting George and the liingstes tight it ought ? Court will convene on Monday, December the 10th. Jurymen drawn for this term will have the honor of hearing and deciding the first case tried in our new courthouse. The Judge's desk has beeu placed ;in our new court room and its a dandy. The Lawrence Bros, do what they have to do, first class. No cheap jobs put up by the L. Br s. John English of Renzi, Bradford and formerly of Laporte, was in town Tuesday, calling on old friends. During his stay here lie paid his re spects to tliG REPUBLICAN office and renewed his subscription. Only a short time ago, within the memory of the editor, there were no ■church buildings in our town, hence, church and Sunday school were held ,in the old school Louse, on East Main street. To-day, we arc a city of churches Since election our job work has increased most satisfactorily. The tone of the REPUBLICAN during the campaign was pleasing to all and we are now receiving our reward. The REPUBLICAN has more friends to-day than it ever had. Storm doors have been attached to the Commercial Hotel at this place. Proprietor, McKibbins find them the right thing in the right place. Many noticeable changes have taken place at this stand since Mr. McKibbins took possession of it. The next legal holiday on the caU endar is Christmas—the brightest, best and glarlsomest of all the year. Jt is the day most anxioush- looked forward to by all the little ones and ,we trust good cheer and happiuess •may be enjoyed at every home, how ever humble, in this broad land. Mrs. M. J. Lull of Tunkhannock, who recently went to a Philadelphia hospital for treatment, returned home last week. The doctors of the hospital pronounced her case a hope ,less one. This will be sad r.ews to the many friends of Mrs. Lull in Sullivan county. The County Commissioners have sent a notice to each justice of the peace in the county to the effect that they will pay no more bounties for the killing of minks, foxes or other noxious animals. This action is taken on the advice of their counsel, on the ground that the law does not warrant the payment of such bounty.—Tunic bannock Hep. As suggested by the REPUBLICAN sometime ago, our depot will be en larged. The appartment now being used for freight purposes, will be arranged into a waiting room and a new freight depot erected on the switch south of the depot. We have this from good authority and we guess it will be a go. The change will take place in the spring, and our station agent Ritter, hum*, tra la-la. Will you call and pay the printer ' next week 112 It will be thankfully received. When the Judicial contest is ovor, i it will take much more cash to settle the bill than is due the county from Jacob Lornh. The county otlicurs are all anxious to locate in the new courthouse. The buHding will bo completed about the 15th ot January when they can move therein. A new counterfeit S"> note has just been put into circulation, but there is little danger that weekly news paper otlices will have much trouble with them. Two courts will bo in session at Laporte next week. This is a trillc extravagant for Sullivan county. Where will the contest court hold fourth ? Frank Cooley recently purchased of Judge Ingham, tour lots on \Vest Main street, and with the assistance of his father, will erect a neat little dwelling ou the same in the spiing. The board of health reports eleven cases of diphtheria at Milton, and to prevent further epidemic requests both Sunday and day schools to be closed until further notice. Ten Nights in a Bar Room, will be presented by the Abbey Dramatic Company, Saturday evening, at the New School House Hall. Parents take your children and let them learn a usefull lesson. C. E. Huntington of Elmira, N. Y. to whom the County Commissioners awarded the contract of furnishing the wind-mill for the courthouse, is placing tho same. G. P. Troub and A. E. Hunt are doing the work. J. 11. Spencer moved into one of tho Association dwellings, on Main street, last week, and James Walsh who occupied a part ol the Busch hausen dwelling, took possession ot the Messenger dwelling on Park street, vacated by Mr. Spencer. Had editor Streby voted, some people predict that Dunham s ma jority would have been 28 and some say 30. But notwithstanding tlii.-, editor Streby was among the fust to sign the contest papers. Wonder if Judge Sittser will thank him for his signature ? Mr. Henry Kohensparger, proprie tor of the tragic Hotel, about one uiile from to>vn, on tlio Sonestown road, will entertain court guest-', nest week for tlie small sum ol oOc. a day. Tlio table at tlio Eagle is always spread with tlio best. 'I ho deduction in price is given owing to the distance from town. The Laporte building Association should consider the advisablity ol erecting a manufacturing establish ment of some kind, in the spiing. A hub or close-pin factory at Laporte would be a paying investment. Ten thousand dollars vvill erect either plant and with proper management, pav day could be met satisfactorily to all concerned and a liberal dividen awarded the association at their annual meetings. It is the general opinion that editor Streby acted very unwise in placing his name on the contest pe tition. George, through his paper has preached county economy. This move on his part will prove to the people of Sullivan county that he is a wolf wearing lamb's clothing. Judges Rice of Luzerne, Searle of Susquehanna and Archball of Lack awanna counties, who have been des ignated by the Governor to hear the Sittser-Dunham contest case have decided to meet at Laporte on Tues day December 11th at 9 a. m., to take up the matter. These proceedings will necessiate a large bill of cost to the taxpayers of our county, for which those peo ple who signed the petition request ing a contest are held personally responsible. It will be a discredit to them for life and they will never hear the last of it. Thanksgiving passed off very quiet at Laporte. In the evening a large number of young people of town and vicinity, were entertained at Fairview Cottage. Those who attended, were given a good time. Dancing was the chief amusement. The repast was above the average on such occasions. Mrs. Chase, al though new in the hotel business, knows how to get up a first class supper. Chas, Sadler, leader of the New Albany silver cornet band and who recently composed a piece of music, titled, "Sundown at New Albany Waltz," was in town on Wedncsdaj', offering the same for sale. Charley's make-up took well at the county seat. He disposed of a dozen or more copies. Mr. Sadler is well thought of by the people of New Albany. The citizens there recently presented him with a handsome silver cornet. Henry Bently of Towanda, bus purchased tlx; ire on Lake Mokoma mid will ship it abroad. Ho will cut the ico l»y either steam or horce power niul will erect tho necessary equipments to loud the ice on en rant a lively rate of speed. Mr. Bcntly is going to make a business of it mid will do the work in a business like way. Rev. E. 8. Latshaw and family desire to return thanks to tho kind friends who HO generously respond ed to the request of tho M. E. Fund Comm. Cash, Hour, groceries, ap ples, potatoes, cabbage, wood, chick ens, and a fine turkey were among the gifts. Words can not express our gratitude. He who said, "The pooryc have with you always and whensoever ye will ye may do them good," abundantly reward all who participated in this act of charity and benevolence. An estimate has been made and placed to the credit of the M. E. Fund. A law should be enacted i'.i the State of Pennsylvania making it a penal offense to print, circulate, or hang up in conspicuous places, im modest lithographs or pictures. The youth of the country are being sub jected to temptations that under no circumstances should be allowed. In Ohio, laws exsist that make it punishable both with fine and im prisonment, not only the exhibitors, but evevv person connected with such pictures, from the designers to the owners of tho properties on which they are found. These pic tures serve no other purpose than catering to depraved tastes and should be strictly prohibited. The Hughesville Mail knows more about the judicial contest about to begin in this district than the tax payers of the district do. He has Sittser elected by 52 majority. Nothing slow about Huttcr. lie makes figures whether they count for anything or not. flutter, Dun ham was elected Judge of this dis trict as fair as you were Member of Lycoming county. The contest has been concocted by a few friends of Judge Sittser, who arc looking for "something" out of tho ease. It is reported that in the l.opez district where the friends of Sittser cry fraud —three votes for Sittser will be thrown out to one for Dunham, t'he election board of the Lopez district was Democratic. The officials of llie Williamsport and North Branch Rail Road held n meeting in Williamsport on Friday liist, when 11. K. h ivenson Esq. was elected general manager of said road in place of 15. (». Welch, resigned. .S. I>. Townsend Esq., was elected general passenger and freight agent in place of M. Newman, resigned, lion. H. 0. MeCormick still retains the presidency of the road. It was thought that owing to his state ap poinimen, he would resign said ofiee, but this was not correct. Mr. Eavenson in an old nilrosul employe anil will no doubt make a first class general manager, lie lias served as Asst. general manager of the VV. k N. 15. for a year or more. Mr. Townsend lias been connected with the road since its infancy and will manage his part with neatness and dispatch. All are pleased to know that Mr. MeCormick will continue as President of the road. With him in this office the people of Laporte and vicinity will be well looked after in railroad matters. In behalf of the County Commis sioners, in their step towards effect ing a more proper course in assess ing and valuing property is one in the right direction. The valuation of our county, heretofore, has been the laughing stock of the State. When the Commissioners placed their bonds 011 sale last summer, the reply come back from Philadelphia and New York—"The valuation of your county is less than some build ings in our city." Again, people who contemplate purchasing property in this conuty, frequently inquire as to the rate of mills levied, and are astonished when they learn that ten mills is assessed for county purposes. If the valua tion is put up to actual value and the number of mills lowered, it is evident to everyone, that no increase in taxes will follow. The County Commissioners find it necessary to increase the county tax ; how can it otherwise be done ? We now have ten mill on our present low valuation which is the extent allowed by the laws of the State. The only proper way is to do as is done in all other counties—raise the valuation to bona fide value and reduce the mills to the wants of each district. Farm land has heretofor been assessed from to five dollars throughout the county, although assessors have taken aa oath to value property to full value. The assessors must not loose sight of the fact that occupa tions and personal property shall also increase in the same proportion as they increase real estate. This will equalize taxation.

Laurenson of Laporte, aliot a good sized deer, on Saturday. I low it came about; George and J. \V. Ballard, bot.li of Lnporte, took a strolc over to the 'Hero during the forenoon of said date, each carried a gun, and on returning home they agreed to take a short route through the woods. They had only traveled a short distance when ihey came across fresh deer tracks and resolv ed togo in pursuit. After following the tracks of the deer some time and passing through a swamp, George spied one going up the mountain at iv rule of speed that would do credit to a, locomotive. Took aim and banged away. The deer passed 011, however, and George evidently sup posed that he had missed his mark. At this juncture Ballard came up and said his knife was in good trim for carving and asked for the game, (leorge remarked, that the way the thing jumped, t;uess they would have no use for it, but would go up and look, anyway. No blood was visable at the seat of war, but on following the track a few rods it was evident that the deer had either ran in front of the muzzle of the gun or else Geo. had aimed it that way. At any rate George was pleased all over. It was his first deer. NOTICE. A letter addressed by fitalo offi cials to Pioth'y. Walsh nt a recent date, Btatiug that the Judges ap pointed to hear t lio contest case, would meet at Laporte on tho 14th of Dec., read, that said body would meet ut, L'iporte on Tuesday, Pec. 14Mi. This was evidently wrong as Tuesday comes mi the lltli A sec ond letter to Mr. Walsh, corrects the mistake and calls for the meet ing ou next Tuesday Dec. 11th, at 9 a. in.
