The presiding Elder of Williamsport, made Laporte a visit, oil Monday of last week. Win. Leonard of Cherry, made the county seat a vi*it 011 Monday. During his stay here he took a look at the interior of our now court house and was fully convinced that it is first class in every particular.

Michael Connor, the man who shot Frank Rico through the baud and fired two other shots at him, at Du shore on Friday, Jail. 11th, we are informed has been arrested. There are two sides to the case and from thb distance it looks as though Mr. Conner bad got himself into serious trouble. Our readers will be pleased to know that our Member, Hon. U. W. Jennings has been well looked after at Uarrisburg in not only the assign ment ot important committees, but he occupies one of the very best seats in the House. Worth, said, had lie been permitted to select his seat from the entire lot, lie could not have done better. Worth has a host of warm friends in the House. TheJulges hearing the Judicial contest in this, the 44th Judicial District, have said the contest must goon to a finish, hence whats the «ood of a convert of either faction calling the other fellow a liar, horse thief etc., because he cannot believe as you do obout the matter. We fail to sec wherein this helps the case on either side. Three compelet judges have been commissioned by the Governor to bear the case and it is supposed that this tribunal will hear the same in court, and make such decisions in all legal points brought before them, as they believe to be just and right. For our part we ore willing to trust the wind up of this litigation in the hands of the court assigned to do the work. So far as the expenses attached to the case is concerned, there is no alter nate, our tax payers will be called upon to foot the bill and you might just as well give the matter a thought j now and arrange to plant an extra | large crop of "ruta-bagars" in the | spring. Hon. Russel Karns and wife of Lnporte, Sundayed with friends in Benton. They went down to see Mr. George Cole, brother of the Mrs , who is dangerously ill. Notice: —All parties knowing them selves indebted to me will please call and seMle by the first of February as I desire to sottle up all outstanding accounts, W.B JI ILL.. Laporte. Don't usk an editor to suppress an item of news, remarks a bright exchange. Some other paper will get it anyway. The neit week some thing will lmppen to your neighbor and if he asks to have it suppressed you will be the first man to jump on tho editor for. daring to say Lis soul is his own. Take your medicine when the item happens to fall your . way. Kotiec. There will be a caucus of the Re publican voters of Laporte Town ship at the polling place in ssid town ship on Saturday January 28th, 1895 between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock p. m.for the purpose of aominating candidates for the several township ofl'i-es to be elected at the ensuing election. J. C. PKNNING'JOX, Committeeman. Nordmont, Jan. 21, 18!>5. There is said to be one editor in heaven. How he there is not positively known, but it is oonjectur ed that he passed himself off for a minister and stepped in unexpectedly. When the dodge was discovered they searched the realms of felicity all their length and bredth for a lawyer to draw up the necessary papers of ejectment, but they couldn't find one and of course he holds the fort. Joseph LLill and Hattie Timmons, aged 16 and 15 respectively, who were supposed to have been drown ed while skating on the river at Wilkes Barre, a week ago, are now thought to have eloped instead. It has been learned that on the day Ihey disappeared the bov told a friend that he had 8100 in his pocket. A traveling man from Wilkes Barre who knows the Timmons «irl, arriv ed home and said he saw her in Binghamtou tho other day. The Democrats of Philadelphia huve nominated Governor I'uttison for Mayor, lie is said to be ineligi ble however, owing to the fact that lie has made Harrisburg his home for the past four years. The Ex- Governor' voted in Harrisburg ' four consecutive years. Tiie Bullitt charter in specif) ing the qualifica tions of the Mayor of Philadelphia, says that the Mayor shall be at least 25 years of ngj and shall liavo been a resident of the city live years be fore his said election. Judge Dunham ought to suggest the idea of convening the Grand Jury one week in advance of the regular terms of court. We see no reason why a change to this effect would not be satisfactory to the attornies, ot the county, and as to the tas payers, it would be most ac ceptable; as it would reduce expen ses, from the fact that there would bo no cause for delay at the regular lenn in waiting for the jury to find a "true bill" or "not a true bill." Why traverse the old ruts of years gone by ? Lets progress. The County Commissioners, like several of our individual property owners, neglected to remove the snow olf their respective side walks on Saturday last, hence the pedes trians on their way to church Sun day, were compelled to take a bath in the cold cold snow knee deep. Our Town Council should enforce the ordinance requiring property owners to remove snow from their respective walks, in a limited time. Whats the good of an ordinance un less it is putin force ? And whats the good of a town council unless they see to it that thc3 - are putin force ? Farmers Attention ! It i3 proposed to hold two Farmers Institutes in Sullivan county this year, one at Forksville commencing February 12th at 2 o'clock p. HI. and one at Dushoro, February 14th com mencing at 2 o'clock p. m. The state has liberally appropri ated $ ( J,500 for expenses of institutes in the several counties. Governor Hastings in his inaugural address truly said, "the farming interests of Pennsylvania is by far the largest single interest." Practical farmers of adjoining counties have been en gaged to attend the institutes ; and the writer expects to attend the meeting of the Slate Hoard of' Agri culture at Uarrisburg, Jan. 22d and secure the best help that can be. ob tained. Now let farmers make an effort to attend these meetings and hell) to make them interesting and instructive. Programcs furnished on applica tion. D. T. HUCKEU., Member of State Hoard of Agricul'r.

For several years past the heavy nnst of friends in this vicinity who join with the JvEPUBLIC VN in extending congratulations to him self and bride. The young (?) bach elors of Dushore, are stepping off one at a time and they do say, that there is only one left; but never you mind, Atty. Cronin will join the progressive list, one of these days. "Editor 1 loverly, of the Bradford Star, has been arrested upon a charge of sending obscure literature through the mails. The objection able articles were a series signed " Ueuben,'' and were published last November. Heverly has been wag ing war against Towanda's disrepu table houses, and the articles com plained or dealt with that subject. There seem* to he a growing sen timent among Methodist clergymen to have the term limit extended in definitely. Rev. Johu Atkinson, D. D., a prominent Methodist clergy man, of Jersey City, is quoted as haing publicly staled as liis opinion that the general conference, which meets in 189(>, will remove the time limit. It has been extended three times by the general conference. The appointment of Methodist min isters is for one year still, but they can now stay in one pastorate five years. The original term was one year. Then the pastors were allow ed to stay two years. Next the term was raised to three years. In 1892 the general conference which met in Omaha extended the term to five years, if both church and pastor eo desired it to lie. MUSICAL COLLEGB.— Spring term opens May, flih.
