The season expired on the 15th of December. The season for pheas ants and rabbits will close on the first of the new year. The County Commissioners arc contemplating grading the court house yard on either side of the building. With this done the Sulli van county temple of Justice will present a fine appearance. During tho past month we have ordered twenty-one copies of the N. Y. Weekly 2'ributie addressed to Sullivan county people. $1.25 for the REPUBLICAN and Tribune is cheap, very cheap and the people appreciate it. R. E. Eavenson, general superin tendent of the W. & N. B. R. R., ha 3 moved his office in the depot build* iog at Uughesville. This, our agent Sir. Ritter says, will make it more convenient for all employes of said road along the line. Lycoming county will be one hundred years old on the 13th of April. 1895, and her citizens contem plate holding a centennial in honor of the event. Inasmuch as the weath er ia uncertain in April, it has been suggested that the celebration take place on the 4th day of July 1895. There will be a grand ball at the Ringdale Hotel on this Friday even ing Deo. 21st. Oue at the K. of L. Hall in Bernice, on Monday evening Dec. 31, and one at the Laporte Hotel, on Tuesday evening, Jan. Ist. Everybody is invited to take part in all three and a good time guaranteed. A Laporte woman sent one dollar in answer to an advertisement that promised for that sum to tell how to keep the smell of boiling sauer kraut from penetrating through the house. The answer was, to eat the cabbage raw.—Benton Argus. Smith, you are a little premature, our ladies vow they never sent the dollar. John Rosencrans of Laporte twp., lost a valuable horse, Tuesday.

Atty. A. L. Grimm made us a call on Tuesday, and requested a receipt for the REPUBLICAN. Now, if about two thirds of the people of Laporte would follow Mr. Grimm's example, our pockets would jingle with great big silver dollars. Who voted the blank ticket in La porte borough ? His name will be known after the contest. The Dem ocrats won't father the ticket. Who will ? When known, the gentleman who placed it in tho box, will be a natural curiosity. MARRIED : At the residence of Christian Kilmer, in Fox twp., on Wednesday, Dec. 12, '94, by A. B. Kilmer, J. P.; Arthur D. Dickenson and Miss Laura M. Foster, both of Shunk, Pa. Many were the congrat ulations extended the happy couple. We were in error last week in stat ing that the Institute commencing on Monday, December 31, would be held in the new school house. It should have read new courthouse. The teachers will fiud this a very pleasant and convenient room for the meeting. Assembly chaiis are pro vided, BIBTH DA* PARTY. Lewis Maltttirey 31 l'enrs oi Age null tUe Event Kight Kojallj Observed. The 21st birthday party of Lewis Mahaffey, son of Sheriff Mahaffey, on Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th, 1894, was a pleasant meeting of old and young. There were one hundred and twenty-five people euvited and of this number there were ninety present and judging from the smiles and countenance of each one present all enjoyed the evening's programe immensely. There was dancing, card playing, checkers and other games for fhe little ones. The Sheriff signed over the lease of the house to the gathering, and rccjnested them to 'go in' and have a good time. Tho large brick mansion was lighted from top to bottom and presented a similar appearance to that of 3*ears ago when it was occu. pied by the late Mr, Meylert, and lighted by gas. It was a pleasant night and will long be remembered by those pres" ent and especially the young guests. Mrs. Mahaffey spared no pains in her department and when supper was announced this was evinced by the several tables spread with all the good things possible to obtain. It was a genuine turkey supper and other thinjs correspondingly good. Lewis the hero of the evening, was the recipient of many valuable presents and many wishes of a return of years. Lew is of a witty turn of mind and entertained his many guest in a becoming manner. His jokes were numerous and original.

Jennings Bros, at Lopez, hive put llielr men on three-quarter time. The Laporte REPUBLICAN promised the working men better times if Jennings were elected Rep resentative. They are now working as they voted.—Dushore Gazette. Owing to the hard times for the last two years, Jennings Bros, have been manufacturing more lumber than they could sell, which never happened before. From an inven tory taken about Dec. Ist, '94, they found they had flfty-two thousand dollars worth of lumber piled at their mill, and as trade had declined, so you see they were still manufactur ing more than the demand called for. They were obliged for want of piling ground etc., to discontinue sawing the large amounts they had been making in good times, or Re publican times, hence, put their mill men on three-quarter time. 'Tis customary in the large hem lock districts of Pennsylvania and other States to close saw mills, Nov. Ist until April Ist. But the Jen nings Bros, the last three years (not this in particular,) have run their mill through the winter on threes quarter time, simply to give employ ment to the many men at Lopez who could not find work elsewhere or in any other vocation. 'Tis true, how ever, as stated above, their sales were much larger in former years than at the pvesent time. We will wager our last year's straw hat that there are very few mills in the state that hq.s run as many days iu the last seven years as the Jen nings Bros. The men did not vote for three quarter time when they voted for B. W. Jennings, but they did. when they cast their ballot for Grover Cleveland. Since tho Grover elec tion, not only the saw mill mon, but farm hands and employers in every industry, havo been very glad to work three-quarter time and many of them could get no work at all. When Mr. Streby is elected to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, the saw mills will probably run full time, summer and winteF. The Gazette office will do business day and night printing the speeches and laws for the working men that ho wiil intro duce. Tearliers' < oiinly Institute. Notice is hereby given tljat the annual Teachers' Institute for Sulli van county will be held in the court house at Laporto during the week commencing December 31, 1894. Tlio institute will he called to order at 2 o'clock Monday nficrnoon. The following prominent educa tors have been engaged as instruc tors : Dr. S. H. Albro, Prin. Mans field Nornjal School; Dr. C. JJ. Al bert, Blooinsburg Normal School; I'rof. F. H. Green, Cambridge, Mass.; Prof. H. E. Cogswell, Musical Direc tor. Several other instructors are expected to be present part of the week. The evening entertainments will be as follows s Monday, Social and Musical entertainments ; Tues day, Dr. Albro; Wednesday, (not yet filled.); Thursdaj-, John It. Clarke, of Buffalo, subject, "Among the Masses." Wednesday and Thursday evenings an admission fee of twenty-five cents will bo charg ed. Thursday will be observed as Directors Day. In the afternoon addresses will be made, touching upon the work ofschool boards. At the close of the session an effort will be made to organize a Directors' As sociation with a view to an annual meeting. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance of directors. The law requires that every school in the county shall be closed during the week. An unusually strong corps of instructors has been secur ed and it is expected that every teacher in the county will be present every day. P. W. M KYLERT, Co. Supt. Laporte, Pa, Dec. 17, 1894. J, 11. Spencer of Laporte, was do ing business in Dushore, Monday. He drove over and on his way back, in the evening, met with a painful accident, While passing a wagon loaded with machinery, his horse took fright at the rattle of the same and sprank, breaking the kiug bolt of his buggy, thus throwing Harry to the ground, bruising his side, shoulder and cutting his face quite badly. The remnants of the buggy which belonged to Chas. Lauer, were gathered In and brought to tho the carriage shop, on Tuesday. Two tramps while passing by Sat terfield on Tuesday, entered the house occupied by David Davis, en gineer on the W. & N. B. R. R., dur ing his absence, and stole several ar tides. A description of the men was wired to Laporte and on Wednes day morning Sheriff Mahaffey cap tured the fellows, and hard looking skids they are, too, near the depot building at this placo. They are now quartered in cell No. 2. A num ber of the articles stolen were found on their person. Von €u't Do Belter. The New York Tribune ia the leading Republican paper of this country. The REPUBLICAN is the leading Republican paper of this county. Together the Tribune and the RE PUBLICAN give a practically com plete local and general news service. You can get both one year for 1.25. And yon can't do better. This is the month to subscribe. The ladies of town are anxious and are urging the necessity of a board walk leading from one of our main streets to the new school house. They are of the opinion that less ex pense should bo put on the streets and the walk laid. We apprehend that it would not be fair for one in dividual to be to the entire expense of this enterprise, because of his owning the lots along said route and would suggest that the Council make a liberal subscription to this end. If we are not mistaken there was an ordinance passed sometime ago to the effect that when a new walk was laid and ran lengthwise of an indi vidual property, the borough is obliged to pay one half of said ex pense. A Queer Election Settlement. An odd kind of a settlement of an election deadlock has been made by the two candidates for Sheriff of Wolfe county, Ky. Both candidates received the same number of votes, and the most careful recount and in spection of the ballots failed to al ter the result. The candidates wouldn't agree to another contest, and, as they wore close friends, neither would accept the office at the hands of the other. It was finally agreed that they should draw lots to decide which should be Sheriff. The Republican won the draw, and the Democrat will be chief deputy sheriff but with an equal share in the spoils of office. Atty. Harry C. Parsons of William sport, has been retained by Judge Dunham to look after his interest in the contest case. Mr Parsons was Judge Metzgev's attorney in the Lycoming county contest and the experience which he gained in this contest will enable hitn to be of val uable service to Mr, Dunham, Mr. Parsons is said to be one of the ablest lawyers in Northern Pennsylvania. We with hosts of Sullivan county neighbors congratulate Mr. Dunham upon his selection of Mr- Parsons to manage his side of the oontest. In Colley township, the recent election was held in the bouse for merly occupied by Jonathan Colley. The court, at a recent date, desig nated the Hall attached to the Free man Hnnsinger Hotel, as the elec tion house. The change on election day, was made, owing to the fact that a family reside in the hall. Tis also true, that the Election Proc lamation read and designated the Jonathan Colley house, wherein it was held for years past, with the ex ception of two or three electious. These we understand were held in the hall. We have looked over the Election Proclamations for '92-93 and for the February election of '94, and find that the Sheriff has neg lected, also, to make the changes in his Proclamation for all three of these elections. Notwithstanding this, however, the elections for '92-93 and Feb. '94, were held in the hall as designated by the court. Judge Sittser received eleven ma jority in this precinct. Good legal advisers say, the entire vote of this district will be thrown out. If the attorneys are correct in their opinion Dunham's majority now reaches forty, Let the good work goon. Tlie Philadelphia Inquirer , one of the largest dailies published in the Keystone state, took possession of their new home, 1109 Market street, on Saturday last. The formal open ing being from Btol2p. m. In our judgment the Inquirer is one of the very best newspapers published in the United States, Its appreciation by its readers is increased from the fact that It is true to its politics. The Inquirer is found advocating Protection to American Labor, daily and Btill better it advocates the elec tion of candidates placed in nomina« tion by the party favoring protec tion. When dissatisfaction arrises in our party, it is the first paper to urge harmony, while other large city dailies take sides and thus help to urge the bad feeling along. The people in the rural districts notice this and arc true frieuds of the In~ quirer. We reoeiyed an invitation from James Elverson, president of the Philadelphia Inquirer Company, last week, to ba present at the open ing of the new homo of the Inquirer on Saturday, Dee. lftth, but owing to money stringencies, business Blow and pocket-book empty we failed to put ln|an appearance. In the mean time we wish the Inquirer lots of sucoesa. LYCOMING OPERA IIOINE. Execution* to Be entered Against It tor 90000. WILLIAMSPORT, Dec. 14. —Execu- tions amounting to $9092.55 against the Lycoming Opera House Com pany have been placed in the hands of the Sheriff. The personal effects of the opera house have been levied on by a Constable for unpaid taxes amounting to S4BO. Manager Guin ter says that the cause of the trouble ia due to the hard times, which had a serious effect on the theatrical business. The Lyconiing Opera House was built three years ago at a cost of $125,000 and is pronounced one of the finest playhouses outside the larger cities. The prospect is that it will be sold. T. J. Kecler has a large assort ment of Christmas presents. He has a counter especially devoted to this line. Tliree Prisoners Escape. Three prisoners, Frank Mullen, Michael Welsh and George Boehmer undergoing imprisonments of from one year to four years and nine months in the Schuylkill county jail, made their escape from the jail while dinner was being served Wednesday. They sawed the bars from their cell window and broke the padlock from the gate in the big prison wall. Their escape was soon discovered but the prisoners were out of reach, and are now at large. They were desperate characters, and were sen tenced to solitary confinement. The fourth prisoner in the cell refused to go with them, and was left behind securely bound and gaged. This is the fourth time within a month that prisoners escaped from this jail. Loan Associations. Judge Ewing, during the trial of a National Building and Loan Asso ciation collector, Monday, at Pitts burg, took occasion to caustically criticise these concerns as follows : 'The whole country is perfectly honey-combed with solicitors for these national building and loan associations. Their acts are a fraud both on the law and the people. There is scarcely a house in the community where the servant girls are not being constantly hampered in their duties, their time taken up and money extracted from them by these solicitors. It was never the intention of the law that these things should be tolorated. When the law gave building and loan associations the right to charge more than six per cent interest it was done to aid workingmen to secure homes for themselves. Now it is converted In to an instrument of fraud."
