If the style becomes popular, a thaw can be expected. The County Commissioners have ordered a new safe for the use of tht County Treasurer. Miss Lottie Miller of Laporte who is attending school in Towanda. was home on a visit, over Sunday. Luzerne county is to have a new courthouse. It will be built on the site whcio the old one now stands. Our lumbermen are busy from daylight until dark. The excellent sleighing is booming business in this vicinity. The engagement of Mr. S. A. Goodhue of Jamison City and Miss Jennie Lockard of Bloomsburg, is announced. We are awful busy iu our job de partment. There are over twenty five jobs hanging on our hook and still they are coming our way. The beginning of Lent, February 27th, is twenty days later than last year. Easter will be on the 14th, of April. Last year it was on March 25. Editor Streby of the Onshore Ga zette, was doing business at the coun ty seat, Friday. During his stay ihere he made the REPUBLICAN olllce a call. When pretty girls are so plenty in Laporte and each one of them has so many admirers, there is room for suspicion that some of the fellows must double up. Tho County Commissioners have appointed Mr. D. L. Miller of Elk land twp., mercantile appraiser. Mr. Miller begun the duties of his olllce on Tuesday. Owing to a wholesale rush of bus iness iu our job department, we are unable to give the columns of our paper very much attention this week and wc presume it will extend into next week. The County Commissioners start their Triennial Appeal on Monday of next week, at Eldredville, where they will remain two days. They will spend the remainder of the week in Western Sullivan. You cannot be too careful in pick ing your steps while the street cross*, ingsand sidewalks are in their pres ent condition. A little care may prevent a broken limb and a good sized doctor bill. A letter from \lisis Mollie Keeler, addressed at Melbourne, Australia, •quois the weather in that country at 106 above zero. Quito the reverse of the state of the weather in this •country. The roses were in full bloom in Australia on Christmas day. The Postmaster General last year •changed the name of the town of Ap pomattox, Va„ to' Surrender.' This change created such n hubbub that an order has been issued restoring the original name to the town, and the Appomattoxers aro correspond ingly happy. The working people of Laporte liave been much more fortunate in securing work this winter than a year ago. This surely speaks a good word for our town, from tbe fact that so many people in neighboring towns have been destitute of work and their families suffering in conse quence. Our readers will notice that we have added a new department to our paper. We give two columns of ed itorials on our first na»e edited by "The American Protective Tariff League," of New York city. The articles are correct in every detail and we are ijuite sure that our read ers will admire the change. The sidewalks have beon given the * 'shake" this week, pedestrians pre ferring to take the streets and the injunction to ''keep in de middle ob de road" has been strictly adheard to. The borough ordinance, relative to the cleaning of sidewalks, is plen ty good enough, if putin force. Who •re the proper officials to enforce it ? A couple of sleighing parties went from this place toSonestown, Thurs day evening of last week. One stop ped at the Mayargle and the other at the Lorah Hotel. Dancing was ihe chief enjoyment of the evening. There was considerable rival over the affair and we shall refrain from saying very ranch about it. It is suffice to say that both parties en- Joyed a very pleasant evening. The funeral of Mr, Wrede on Wed nesday, was very largely attended. C. D. Eidred of Muncy, was doing business in Laporte, Wednesday. Miss Agnes Wrede ot' Laporte, is confined to her bed with grief and sickness. James Codding Esq. of Towanda, was nominated for Congress, by the Bradford county Republican conven tion, on Tuesday. Mrs. Cora Stormont of Laporte, who has been visiting friends in Philadelphia and Pottsville for the past three months, returned home, Tuesday. The Ladies Aid Society of Laporte will meet at the residence of Mrs. Chas. Tinklepaugh, Saturday, Feb ruary 9, 1895. MRS. W. M. CHENEY, Secy. The taxpayers of Dushore, held a Union caucus. That was right, be cause it unites the people and gives a wider field to select officers from. The people of Dushore are to be con gratulated upon the wise course they have pursued in this matter. MAKUIKD: January 28, 1895, G. J. Williams and Miss Bessie A. Fan ning, both of Shuuk, by A. B. Kil mer, J. P. P. E. Fanning was best man and Miss Lorena Lett 9, brides maid. May happiness and pros perity attend them, are the wishes of their many friends. * The Republicans of Laporte twp., held their caucus at the polling place in said township on Saturday last ami the Democrats of the same pre cinct held forth in the courthouse on the same date. There was some fault finding over nominations made in the Democratic gathering. Wheth er the same unpleasantness existed in the Republican body or not, we arc not prepared to say. The Tablet* Turned. The two men who were arrested a short time ago by tax collector and constable Emery of Asylum chargi ing them with robbery have turned the tables on him and yesterday swore out a warrant for the arrest of Emery on the charge of embezzle ment. The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable llollon, who went down to serve it last night. —Towanda Rep.

Percentage of attendance, male 83 females 50, total 07, Those missing.no days during the month, are Belle Foust, Vernie Foust, Roland Horn, Merlin Small, Frank Small and Fred Foust. CAIIRIE RITTBR, Teacher. Two sleighing parties visited our town on Wednesday evening of last week. One came from the neighbor hood, in the vicinity of Low's school house and the other was of Bernice. The former put up at the Laporte Hotel and the Bernice boys and girls were looked after by mine host of the Commercial House. The latter enjoyed a dance in the Hall while the former occupied the dining room of the Laporte Hotel. It was evident that both gatherings enjoyed a good time. A large number of people Trom a distance attended the funeral of Mr. Wrede in this place on Wednesday. Among the list were : Chas. Kisner, Dr. Herrmann, F. P. Vincent, Miss Winnie Jackson, Miss Laura Pome roy of Dushore; Mrs. John McDon aid of Bernice; JudueGansel Muncy Valley; E 1. Brundage Nordmont; C. Jackson, Bernice; Michael Galla gher, Conrad and Henry Krous, and James Gallagher, sr., of Ring dale and Mrs. Dr. Murrellr, of Ath ens. Lewis Mahaffey who is confined to his bod with a fractured skull the result ot a srun bursting in his hands, an account of whieh was given in the REPUBLIC VN last week,is doing as well as could be expected and the Drs. in attendance say he will sur vive the injury and retain is usual memory. This is extremely fortunate for Lew as the hole in his forehead made by the breech-pin, is of extraordinary sir.e. The depth is a half inch while the length is a good inch. A number of pieces of the skull were probed from the wound, ' LAID TO KUST. Now Sleeping in the Silent City «5 the E>« \j \ Mr. Chas. Wrede tv whom we made mention iu last week's issue as being dangerously ill with rheuma tism of the heart, died ou Suuday night at 11 o'clock. Deceased was 59 years of age aud was born in Bonn, Germany. He came to America in 1855 and located at High Lakn Wayne county, where he remained for several years. In ISG7 he was united iu marriage with Miss Emma Wycoffof Wayne county Pa. Shortly afier their marriage they moved to Thornedale, thi9 coun ty, where Mr. Wrede was employ ed for many years as general super inteudent of the Thornedale tannery owned by McFarlane, Thorue & Co. On the suspension of this tannery in 18S5, Mr. Wrede moved to Laporte and held tho supcrinteudencj' of the Laporte tannery, which was also owned by McFarlane Thome & Co. until a year ago when this firm dis posed of their plant to the Union Tanning Companj-. At the close of this transaction, Mr. Wrede took charge of Mr. McFarlane'* extensive lumber business, in which position he served until hi 3 death. Deceased was a faithful servant of his employer, and was as much con cerned about the welfare of the bus iness in which he was engaged as was his emplojer; in fact he gave all of his attention and time to liis work. He was a long sufferer of rheuma tism and was treated, by home and distant physicians, but no substan tial relief was given. He leaves a wife and seven children, namely— Bessie, Agnes, Leo,. Jessie, Mollie, Joseph and Carl, to mourn the loss of a good husband and loving father. The funeral servioes were held in the court room on Wednesday at 2 p. m.and were conducted by Rev. James Cameron of Jersey City N. J, Interment in Mountain Ash cemetery. We received a communication from Nordmont, Wednesday, too late for publication. Oil receiving the items our forms were made up, and it was impossible to gWe it space. We would be pleased however, if the writer would join our corps of correspondents and give us a letter occasionally. The Wyomiug Democrat of Tunk hannock complains because Judge Dunham and his Associates have re placed the Democratic court crier and tipstaves of Wyoming county with Republican officials. No one should complain at this. Wyoming is a Re publican eouuly and it is not prob able that a Republican Judge should give patronage to Democrats to the exclusion of claims of his own party. Republicans of Columbia county do not whine and complain because their President Judge only appoints Dem ocratic court criers and tipstaves.— Bloomsburg Republican. He'll Make a l'oliticiun. In the Judicial contest in Indiana county a queer point of law has been developed. A young man went to the polls last November with a paper marked 21 in his hat and another paper marked 22 in his boots, and swore that he was between 21 and 22. The election officers inferring that he was swearing truthfully, ac cepted his vote. Tho Democrats of Laporte boro., held a caucus on Monday evening and placed the following tioket in nomination, viz: Town council W. A. Kennedy and Michael Fiynn ; school directors—J. W. Flynn and Tbos. Bcahon j judge of election— Chas, Landon t inspector—John Fries; assessor—J, H. Spencer; overseer of poor—F. W. Gallagher and W. A. Kennedy ; high constable —Stewart Chase; treasure—Walter Spencer; auditor—A. L. Grimm; justice of the peace—ltobt. Stor mout. The following ticket was placed in nomination by the Republicans of Laporte twp.. on Saturday, viz : Su pervisors—Z. E. Botsford and E. C. Bulk ; judge of election—J. C. Bots ford ; inspector—B. B. King ; over seer—W. E. King; assessor—S. S. Mead ; auditor—l. T. Low ; school directors—W. J. Low and Charles Mead; clerk—Lyman Harvey ; con stable—A- E. Botsford. The Democrats of Laporte twp., held their caucus in the courthouse in laporte boro., on Saturday aud made the following nominations: Judge of election—.Bernard Scehan ; inspector—Philip Einig ; constable- James Gansel; assessor—Amos Lit tle ; school directors—John Watson and Willis Snider; auditors—'Herman Iting and Thos. Kiernan ; elerk—L. R. Gavitt; overseer—James Peter man •, supervisors—Enos Peters and Wm. Kiernan. We are obliged to omit. Mr. Kelly's and Mr. Mark's ails., this week. The cause is apparent. The county state ment, which requires double the space of former years, monopolizfi one side of our paper. All will agree with us, that it is a monster and ought to be appreciated by the pub lic, The county auditors earned their money, this year and the prin ters will have, too, wheu they have completed their contract. We re ceive $44. for doing this work. Were we to hire it set by the thousand, it would have cost us $30., hence, we would have left sl4. for our space in the paper and trouble ; however, we agreed to do the work for this price ami will be as good as our word in the fulfillment of our coutract, and will conclude by thanking the Com missioners for favors shown. Flame* lu Fairvlew (!OH»RC, F.tirview Cottage, on West Cherry street, owned by Cbas. Tinkiepaugh and occupied by Stewart Chase, was discovered on fire Saturday morn ing, Mrs, Chase gave the alarm and the people of our town quickly re sponded to the call in largo numbers. The fire originated in a bed room on tho second floor of tho building, Lhrough which a stove pipe ran. It is supposed that the heat of this pipe set fire to the bed clothes. With the exceptions of destroying a feath er bed or two and their coverings, there was but little damage done. The people of Laporte without au exception, are active and right at their post on occasions of this kind, and we will wager our last year's straw hat that they can extinguish au ordinary lire in a building, quick er and do less damage to the build* ing than any one fire engine in sev enteen counties. In this assertion the reader will notice that we do not confine ourselves to the engine in Dushore as everybody knows—tuats only a boy's toy. Ijoea! Instllute.

It gives me pleasure to inform those interested that Dr. Egle has already published twenty chapters in the Harrisburg Telegraph aud is anxious to begin the compiling early in the spring. Most of the informa tion obtained has been worked over and forwarded, but very much more is wanted. The writer would regard it as a great favor, if the friends of the work would now forward com munications or soon as possible. As to the information wanted, we here with subjoin an appeal made in '74 by Dr. Craft to the citizens of Brad lord county, to aid in preparation of the work for that county all Of which will apply to our own. WM. MEYLEUT. MR. CRAFT'S APPEAL. "In almost every neighborhood, there are old people, who, while their recollec tion of the incidents in their early history is disi inct, are so enfeebled by age as to make writing by them extremely burden some. The younger remembers of the family, or others in their vicinity, cau re cord the stories thesn old people tell to them and thus preserve, for the historian what must otherwise soon be lost beyond recov ery. In doing this the more minute and circumstantial the n.irrative is, the better it is. Apparently trivial incidents have their use as well us tho3e which appear more iuiportant.- The history of a locality is the history of thj persons who have lived in it. This will embrace items like the following: Who were the tirst settlers in a given lo cality ; the time of their settlement ; the places from wliieh they came; incidents in their removal ; the location and present owners of the farms on which each one lived ; of whom each settler purchased his land ; the apcount of their clearing, build iug and general improvements ; their strug gles, privitations and amusements ; manl - &c.; whether their families still re main iu the neighborhood or have remov ed —tf removed the date of their removal and who have auooepJcd them ; in short, the whole accouut of each family as min utely as it can be given from the time the couutry was an unbroken wilderness to the present. If every one will interest himself or her self in gathering this information, and will forward it to me, the work will be hasten ed, aud made more complete than other wise it can possibly be. If more than one account be sent from a locality, it does no harm; iu fact, the more accounts the better," The expliuatiori of the law of 'B9, relating to the election ot constables, will be of interest to every election dislrict in the county. That few peo ple, comparatively, were aware that the provisions of tho above law went into ellect iu '9O, aud not in 'B9, is proven by the fact that In nearly every district where candidates have been nominated this yea/, a candidate for constable has been named. According to the interpre tation of the law, no constable will be elected until '9O. In districts where there was no constable elec. ted in '93, tind as a consequence a vacancy occurs, the court will doubt less be asked to appoint consUbles to serve until '96. The uncertainty in almost every part of the county in regard to this matter shows to what extent ignorance of the ©lection laws exist. MUSICAL. COLT.KGB.—Spring term opens May 6th.
