THE REPUBLICAN. W. St. CHEWET. - - - - Editor. FKIDAVT DECftMBEIi 14. 18U4. It is a disgrace to our town coun cil, that the children are compelled to walk through the slush and mud to the school house building. A side walk for theircon vlenenceshould be erected. The idea—the father walking on pavements to bis place of business, while his child or chil dren are irudging through the slop py weather to their labors of the day. Its a dishonor to our Board of Councilmen, and especially those who have children in the school. Is the delay because some people ob ject to build the walk along their premises or negligence on the part of the council ? It certainly is a necessity. Will the secretary of the board please answer this question in the columns of the REPUBLICAN n xt week. The Uw That Ought to Pass. There should be enacted at the next legislature a law prohibiting the shipping of pheasants and quail from the State of Pennsylvania, says the Tunkhannock correspondent of the Scranton Itepublican. There nre seventeen killers and shippers of these birds located in thin and Brad ford count)', and so great has been the di9truction of the pheasants that where formerly forty or fifty bird 9 would be started in a day, it is a good man and two good dogs who can start a dozen. When it is rea lized that there arc only five or six States in the whole Union where pheasants abound and that quail can be found io almost every slate the necessity of guarding the extermi nation of pheasants is apparent. Five thousand live quail for propa gation can be secured in a week's time by placing an order with a New York houne and at a low price, while that number of pheasants could not be secured for love or money. The extermination of pheasants is only a question of time, unless penalties are created for the lavish killing of them and shipping to New York markets. Koad Rriiioo to Ship. Lester A. Bassell, ticket agent and telegraph operator of the Eric rail way in Owego, who mysteriously disappeared from East Windsor. Broome county, where he was visit ing in June last, has been heard from. The Windsor Standard says that be recently made his sudden and unex pected appearance at his former home in East Windsor. Bassell, it will be remembered, left Owego with his wife to spend a week's vacation with his parents. He went out on the river to gather water lilliee, and his boat was after wards found floating on the st ream and he was missing. His "myster ious disappearance" was afterws.rl accounted lor when it was learned that there was a deficiency of S3OO in bis account with the railroad company, which was Bubsoquently made good by his father, who also settled other obligations in Owego. A NTORE ROBBED. A Slick Catch ol the Bobbers. On Sunday night the store of Mr. Simon Vought at Elysburg Pa., was robbed for the fifth time within three years. The thieves took a large quantity of coffee, shoes, ginghams, etc., and carried them away in a wagon. The ground was not frozen hard and Mr. Vought with two friends followed the tracks made by the horse and wagon from the store direct to Danville and up to the res idence of William Flanagsn in the Second Ward, where the evidence of their unloading the wagon were still fresh. Two men were stationed to watch the house while Mr. Vought went after a warrant for the arrest of Flanagan and George Snyder his associate. When the necessary papers were procured and a eearoh of Flan agan's pkoe made the goods stolen "•re n«arly fill fouud. Flanagan and Snyder f*re both arrested and confested the crimes and in default of bail they were committed to the Northumberland county jail at Sun bury. It is estimated that over one hun dred yeopfo visited the new court room, on Bunday. The plastering of the Catholic church WM completed on Friday last. Chqp. Boyd of Dushore, who w«s awarded the contract of this wodr, h»s done an excellent job and all who vfeit tbe handsome edifice arc loud in their praise of tho same.

Another wedding is reported to take place in towto, soon, and per haps two. The brides are of while the grooms will be imported. Ureese Johnson and Win. French, both of Moray Valley, killed two bear in the vicinity of Hunter's Lake on Saturday, December Bth. The chairs in the court room were placed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday forenoon. There are four teen screws in each chair, hence the progress of the work, was slow. The)- are substantial, pretty and an easy chair to sit in, for which we must all return thanks to Judge Phillips, who, with the commission ers consent, is responsible for their presence. The farmers in many parts of the State are busily engaged in ploughing for next spring's crops. The) 1 claim three advantages iu this. First they have plenty of time now, the ground becomes very mellow by freezing and thawing during the winter months, and then it exposes the worms and grubs to the severe weather which destroys great quan tities of them. The first jury to be empanelled in the new courthouse, on Monday last, was that one called in the case of Adam Kneller vs Colic)' township, a suit for damages for injuries re ceived through defect in public road.

Skating oil Lake Mokotna was fine, last week, and our young people enjoyed the recreation, and spent a good part of their time gliding on the slippery surface. On Thursday evening all of our boys and girls joined in the sport and it is said that there were over one hundred in the group. During the evening one of our young men at the age of 21, sat down along the shore and was pre meditating over the late war, when a young gent and lady came up to where he was! tired and fatigued, and resolved to take a rest. The young lady mistook the quiet young man for a stump and was about to sit down upon him when lie took ex ceptions.
