THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHENEY, -- - EtUtor. Fill DAY. MARCH 1, 18'.>5. Xlli' iiil.l.O i* tOI'SI'EU. The IH'mocrwtie Tlekct 1M tlie lloro. miin KlfCteil. One or Two . ot the <'Miidl«l»teN hud a Close Shave, Election day lias come ami gone, and the candidates lor tlie several olliees throughout the county breathe easier. Those who were successful are being congratulated, and those who were defeated are telling how it happened. The day was a beau tiful election day, and the vote in most every election precinct in the county was gotten out. In Laporte borough the vote was very large—a few more than at the fall election. Cutting was indulged in throughout, the county, except in a few of the precincts where a Union caucus was held without opposition. This cut ting of the ballots made it impossi ble to foretell the result. The tight here was centered on school direc tors and was of more than ordinary interest. There were two school directors to bo elected. The candi dates were: On the Democratic ticket—Thos. Bealien and J. W. Flynn. On the Union ticket—J. A, Jordan and W. 13. Ilill. '.Che vote for these candidates were : Bealien, 45; Flynn, 51; Jordan, 41; and Hill, 42. This was a very close margin compared with the remainder of the Democratic ticket. The most popu lar men on the Democratic ticket, were liobt. Stormont for J. P., and Walter Spencer for Treasurer. The voters of the 2d ward were conveyed to tlio polls in private conveyances. There are about 25 voters in the 2d ward. One of this number, Eras tus Yagle, was challenged on the ground that his wife and family re side in Williamsport. But notwith standing the challenge the vote was accepted by the election board. This was considered rank by the on look ers and it is barely possible that the election will be contested because of this move on the part of the elec tion officers. It is very important for the good of the public in general that unprejudiced men shall fill the olliee of Judge and Inspectors of election. Walter fcpencer was per haps one of the fairest judges that ever occupied this position on our election board and we have every reason to believe that c-ur judge elect, Clias. Landon will be equally as popular. TIIE RETURN 3. We give below a list of officers elected in the several precincts: LAPOHTK ISOROI'GII. Judge of election, Chas. Landon; inspectors, John Flies, A, J.

ItiiiK ua Die R.illo!. It is becoming moie and more evident that the Baker ballot system as at present in Use. is rot well adapted to municipal elections, by reason of the rule permitting the voting of a whole column by simply marking a cross in the ring at the top, presupposed that straight party tickets will be nominated aud voted. This, it is very apparent to all, is not the case and th<s result is that much conlusioit arises. Then the fact that party candidates are also permitted to file nomination papers and thus have their names plaeid in two columns on the ofiicial ballot, further confuses many people. For these reasons, and for tin additional reason that where a man's name is marked twice—once in the ring at the top and again in the square to the right of the name—the vote for that particular office is de cided to be illegal, the most careful voters pay no attention to the ring at the top of the column, but feel much safer in marking a cross oppo site every name. It would be an improvement, in the opinion of many, if the 'ring" were done away with.— JEX. Yes, if the ring was done away with the candidate nor politician could not determine by the time consumed in the booth by the voter whether or not he went her straight or made a cut or two. By all means the ring at the head of the column should be a thing of the past. Rev. I*. J. jllt'.UuuuM, SCKANTON, Pa., Feb. 2.1. —A full house greeted S. G. Kerr on the occasion of his lecture on "Ireland" at Asbury M. E. church Monday evening. For nearly two hours the speaker held the closest attention of the audience with his graphic de scriptions of scenes and inci lents of a visit to his native land after an absence of forty-one years. Though disclaiming gifts in the line of lec turing he succeeded in reaching rc~ suits possible only to the best speak crs. His discription of points of interest and pandc of Irish wit kept the audience in the best of humor throughout. Rev. P. J. McManus of St. Paul's Roman Catholic church, Green was an interested listener. At the close of the lecture Father McManus was envite 1 by the pastor, Rev. A. F. Chaffee, to come to the platform and address the aud ience on the same theme, which lie did in a most happy manner. The scene of a Catholic priest in a Meth odist pulpit was one not ofteu wit nessed, and it seemed entirely with out inappropriate ness and was well received by everybody. At the close of the service a vote, of thanks and a season of hand-shaking ensued which was good to behold. The Ithaca Fur Company has es tablished a skunk farm near Brook ton. The company now has over 100 of the animals but by another season it expects by purchasing and careful breeding, to increase the number to 5,000. The "skunkery" consists of five acres of ground fenc ed in by high boards over a stone filled trench. The animals' food consists mostly of milk, water and bits of meat, while their beds are made of chestnut leaves and dried grass in a large building. They are seldom seen during the day, but come out at nightfall and gambol about the yard. Beginning with the "kittens" they can be easily tamed, When killing time comes, they are placed in a tight box and chloro-" formed, thus tendering their fur free from odor. Besides the fur a fat animal will yield nearly a pint of oil that is said to be an unequaled remedy for stiff joints, etc. Amiii.il Meeting.
