The clergymen of all denomina» tions in Ansonia, Conn , were asked by the school board to unite upon a suitable form of prayer for opening the schools. The Protestant and Catholic pastors joined in recom mending the use of the Lord's Prayer as found in the sixth chapter of Mat thews.

The Dushore Gazette complains that the bill introduced into the legislature requesting a divide of the offices of Prothonotarv, Register, Recorder and Clerk of the Courtß, has not been heard of since it was favorably reported from committee. Poor fellow, he hasn't kept up with the times. That bill died in tlio "hole" mouths ago. There are eight counties in the state situated as we are, relative to the connection of these offices. A majority of these arc democratic and the death of the bill is contributed largely to the efforts of the Members representing these counties. Hence, George will please fire his wads in that direction. Just why George is desirous of this bill becoming a law we cannot conceive, unless he has given up all hopes of Democratic success, this fall, riesaid in '94 the "Ring" had ruined Sullivan county Democracy and that "we" would go Republican in the near future. George got astride of the fence last fall and didn't go at all. That is the introduction line, you know. We shall expect the boy to vote with us this fall. More new goods at Jacob Per's, Hughes ville, Pa. Two Stations, Two Store*, and a Hotel Robbed, Monday Night, A gang ot robbers supposed to be tramps entered the Laporte station Monday night. After trying to raise several windows with a chisel or a bar of iron, they gained an en* trance through the door by prying the lock off and a couple of feet of the door casing. For their trouble they secured 14 cents in money, several cans of fruit, a paper of smoking tobacco, a chisel and a brace and bit. The station was well filled with boxes of freight and each one showed plainly the finger marks cf the intruders. They were torn to pieces more or less, but nothing of value taken. From here it is sup posed that the same gang of thieves proceeded to Nordmont where they entered the station, two store build ings and the hotel. At the station tbcv took 25c in money; atßotsford & Newman's store they stole a box of pocket knives and a pair of shoes; at Hallstead & Co's. store they got a number of postage stamps and at the hotel they secured $1 in cash and drank a quantity ofcider from a jug. There were three glassess on the counter in the morning, hence it is supposed that there were tnree in the gang. Station agent Kitter of Laporte noticed two - strangers who appeared very much like tramps about the depot early in the evening but as tramps are common these days, gave their presence but little thought. The thieves at this writ ing are still at large. Mr. E. J.

This advice, while suitable to every body, is particularly applicable in the case of young men. In one of his recent talks to his class Dr. Tal« mage said: ''Let me say in regard to your adverse worldly circumstan* ces that you are on a level now with those who are finally to succeed. Mark my words, and think of it 30 years from nowl You will find that those who, 30 years fi om now, are the millionaires of the country, who are the poets ot the country—high* est in church and state—are now on the level with you;notan inch above and with you in straightened circum. stances now. Hcrschcl earned his living by playing a violin at parties, and in the intervals of his playing lie would go out and look at the midnight heavens, the field of his immortal conquests. George Stev enson rose from being the foreman of a colliery to be the most renown ed of the world's engineers. No outfit, no capital to start with! Young men go down to the library and got some books and read what wonderful mechanism Ood gave j'ou in your hand, in your foot, in your eye, in your ear, and then ask some doctor to take you into the dissect ing room and illustrate to j-ou what you have read about, and never again commit the blasphemy of saying you have no capital to start with." Do you realize that you have a first class clothing establishment right at your very door. Take time to come in and examine our large and well selected stock and see if our prices are not right. Jacob Per's Ilughesville Pa. We ask the Sullivan county mer chants who do not believe in adver tising, to read the following: "To discontinue an avertisement" pays John Wanamaker, the largest advertiser in tho world, "is like tak ing down your si<:n. If you want to do business you must let the pub lic know it. Standing advertise ments loots more substantial and are business like and inspire confidence. L would as soon think of doing busi ness without clerks as without ad vertising." The boys have a big joke on one of our Democratic candidates. It come about like this. The young politician started out to make good his political fences last week. lie drove a livery horse and was on his way to Colley Corners and when within about one mile of the end of his journey, the 3'oung man stopped to talk politics with a friend who happened that way and when he was about to move on, ' Fred," the horse he drove, declined to go. "Fred" is an intelligent horse and no doubt heard the word Democrat mentioned during the conversation along the road and having passed through three years of Democracy ruling, knew well that a continuation of Democratic government would cons tinue to reduce his mess of oats, and he declined to associate with that crowd. You can't blame him, can you ? Well, after due persuasion in the direction of the X roads, and becoming convinced that "Fred" was a horse of sound mind and would not go that way, the young politician with his companion and several helpers wheeled him, "about-face" and concluded they would give up the canvass and return home. Like all generous politicians this young man when about to depart for home, touched his hat and with a smile on his face, bade his friends "good bye." It was humiliating however, when this young man chirped and rcquosted "Fred" to move toward home, to find that the horse had positively refused to associate with him at home or abroad. The whip was used, but with no avail. The day was pretty well spent when the young man with his com panion gave up the idea of a ride home and turned "Fred" over to a farmer until called for. With this done, Morgan with "turkey" in hand and accompanied by his faithful com panion greased their Bhanks and took it across lots for Dushore, where they tiecured a second turn-out and continued their journey home. The next day, a young Republi can, Ernest Lauer, went after "Fred" and in his stable talked Republican administration and a full mess of oats. "Fred" comprehended, placed himself in the fills of the wagon and I returned home with ears and tail up. The new time table on the Bernice branch of the L. V., is unfavorably received by our up country people. That the L. V. officials aro making a teat of the new schedule for fifteen days, is ample proof that a second change will be made at the expira tion of that time. The officials of the W. &N. B. will defer issuing tueir schedule until the Valley offic ials have reached a final adjustment. Certificate ol l'axeit.
