Com. on Invitations. Death ol Rev. Nathan Callentler. Ho died in Scranton, April 21st, 1895. His ancestry came to Amer ica about 1700 and noted for their patriotism during the Revolutionary war. His grandfather was a member of General Washington's staff. His father's family were among the .list settlers of Lackawanna Yalley, in Blakcly township. When a younj; man he made a profession of religion and united with the Scott Valley church of which he was pastor at the time of hi& death. Soon after making a profession of religion he became very active in christian work, and being a man of remarkable persuasive force his in fluence for good became a great power for good through the church and the membership at once recog nized his fitness to enter the work of the Uospel Minestry, and after but short preparation he was ordain ed by the Minestry connected with the Abington Association. His first pastorate was at New Milford Sus quehanna county, commencing in 1847, where his labors were abund antly blessed. lie received the ap pointment as general missionary for Sullivan county from the Baptist State Convention in 1853, and came upon the field the j'ear following; residing at Laporte. At that time there were two smalt Baptist chur ches within the bounds of the coun ty, known as the Loyaleock and Cherry churches. Tbe Lojalsock church which was constructed at the forks o! the LoyalsocK in 1822, having as its constituent members, the Bird and Rogers families and a small scattering membership ex tending along the Loyalsock from I Forksville to Barbers Mills with an important station at Rogers woolen I factory on Bear Creek. The Cherry, now Now Albany church, was also divided in small groups, having meeting places at Dushore, Norkonks school house, Now Albany anil Heaverly Settlement. These points were reached by monthly visits, and from the first Mr. Cullender's labors were appreciated by the extended communities visited by him and In creased demands made for his labors. During the first year of his labors the Laporte church was constituted to which there was very soon consider able accessions made at Eagles Mere and the church has since been known as Laporte and Eagles Mere, having iu addition to the appointments at these villages one in lower Shrews bury, known ns Rock Run. Over this extended field ho faithfully labored for the Master for ten years; loved and admired by christian families throughout the bounds of our county, and living in the enjoy ment of the respect and co-oppera-- tion of fellow laborers in the chris tion ministry of other denominations. At the first outbreak of the Rebel lion he was among the first to recog nize the importance of speedy action and unhesitatingly at the first meet ing called at Laporte for urging en listments accepted an appointment to visit other parts of the county to aid in the work. In his ministerial labors he over taxed his strength and while living >n the field it was hard for liim to consent to give up any part of it and with hope tliat another man with greater physical endurance would take his place lie resigned his ap pointment in 1804 and first accepted the pastorship of the church which he had left on coming to this county at New Milford. In 18S7 he was called 10 his home church iri Scott Valley where with but a brief inter uption he remained until his death lie was twice married his first wife the daughter of Rev. Tower of Lenoxville and sister of .Rev. C. M. Tower, who may he remembered by our old citizens as assisting Mr. Callender when a student at Lewis burg. In IS4B he maried Miss Harriet Darrow and to them wore born three sons and one (laughter, Augustus, .Jessie, Stephen and Lucy all of whom are well remembered by the early residents of Laporte. To them and his afflicted widow their many friends at Laporte ex tend their heart felt sympathy. A FRIEND, EST ELLA ITEMS. Mr. Freeman of Alba is visiting his son, Paul, near the creamery.

Aiotice, Taxes are assessed by the county and districts and must be collected. Some collectors are lenient others are unmerciful iu their work. We think we should bo quoted in the former class, but there is a time for all things and we are of the opinion that the time is ripe for those of our Davidson twp. individuals who have not paid their taxes for 1894 to call and settle the samo. To till - end we will give our delinquent Iriends until the Ist day of June, 1895. J AMI S MOHAN, Collector. QOI7KT PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS, HON. E. M. DONITAM, Presi dent Judge.
